IIT Bombay Director resigned but this convo will shook the education system 🚨
Girl student - Sir, you don't even know how much pressure is on a student
Shireesh Kedare - Okay, should we make cheating legal for you guys? So that you don't take pressure? We are asked to design papers for students who have the brains to study. For students who came into IIT through 80 percentile. Just because some of you students came through 30 percentile, we can't make the paper that much easy for other students.
Girl student - You are still being shameless sir. This was all your fault
Shireesh Kedare - I am resigning because there was some of my fault. But each one of you children who has ever done cheating should leave this IIT now. I will also ask the watchman to resign just because he couldn't check someone's pant for a mobile phone. All the parents around the world should also resign from their parental duties if they can't raise a studious child. That student feared them, not us. Your parents should be ashamed to send you to IITs when you are not even capable of passing a single exam of IIT.
Sir literally cooked this girl student. He resigned but he made sure to show the world how bad this education system is. Respect +++
The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all.
A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue.
A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310.
These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it.
The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored.
A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone.

₹19,000 crore.
That is what Banks collected in last 3 years just for not maintaining ‘Minimum Account Balance.’
Not from the rich. Not from big borrowers.
From the poorest accounts in the system.
Their crime? They didn’t have enough money.
A farmer misses the minimum balance - Penalty.
A pensioner withdraws money for medicine - Penalty.
A daily wage worker falls short by a few hundred rupees - Penalty.
The poor keep money in banks for safety. Not to be quietly fined for being poor.
Financial inclusion should protect small savings, not punish small balances.
In Parliament today I proposed ending minimum balance penalties so the banking system stops charging people for their poverty.
In Parliament today I proposed optional Joint filing of Income Tax Returns for married couples.
Family A
Both spouses earn ₹10 lakh each.
Total household income is ₹20 lakh.
Tax: zero
Family B
One spouse earns ₹20 lakh. The other stays home to raise their child.
Total household income is ₹20 lakh.
Tax: ₹1.92 lakh
The only difference is how the salary is split between the two spouses.
One roof. One kitchen. One household budget. But when tax time comes, the family disappears.
The tax system sees two individuals. A husband and wife become strangers. No clubbing of income or rebates.
In Parliament today I proposed optional joint filing of Income Tax Returns for married couples, so families with uneven incomes are not unfairly penalised. If implemented, then Family A and Family B both will pay Zero Tax.
@RelianceDigital Update: The engineer called this morning and is asking for an extra ₹599 (on top of what I already paid during booking). Is this normal?
@RelianceDigital@RelianceResQ My AC dry service(4757407) request from 9 Mar is still “in progress” via magic cancellation on 12th! Engineer allocated → cancelled in 60 seconds, 0 communication. Complaint(701817100) yesterday = more silence. Classic “service completed” trick?
@volklub In contrast, timeless classics like the Polo, T-Roc, and Tucson hold up beautifully over time: their clean, balanced proportions, subtle sophistication, and restrained elegance keep looking fresh, premium, and effortlessly classy for years, never relying on fleeting hype.
Hey @SkodaIndia – late post but had to share.
Survived a bad crash — heavy hit on driver A-pillar. Walked away with just hand scars. Car totaled, I’m alive. Your build quality saved me.
Booked the new Kushaq facelift already. Missing 360° hurts, but you’ve got my trust.

19 years ago, on 11 June 2006, 7/11 Mumbai train blasts changed my life.
I survived paralysis & became wheelchair-bound. Yet, I never gave up
Here are my 19 achievements to inspire you to focus on one goal at a time & keep pushing!
Humble request
Telecom companies need to launch only Call recharge packs ( without mobile data), many poor and senior citizen don't need internet
They end up paying high prices for recharges
🙏
@volklub It’s an interesting theory, a VW fan posting about Tata, that too when he is coming from T-Rock, I personally visited Tata for harrier but came back without even testing when they showed me unfinished boot space area
