IRMA Anand Gujarat - IIT Kanpur U.P. ; Interested in Spirituality, Badminton... following =/= endorsement. I dream to bridge the gap b/w haves and haves not
Interesting observation:
Indians I notice keep talking about how Indians built US Technology Giants
Yet I have never seen too many Chinese claiming Chinese built American AI and how 50% of the AI Engineers in US are Chinese origin
China looks at its own country, decides goals and pursues their own game plan and strategy
No Self Pity
No tall claims
No abusing Elon Musk
They just decide to do their own thing
Result - Huawei, BYD, Space Station, Beidou, Unitree, Cambricon, Deepseek, Manus, Kimi, Moorethreads and the list goes on and on
That is what India should do
Not throw a pity party with coping mechanism all the time
बुकनू : कानपुर के स्वाद की खास पहचान
कानपुर की रसोई से निकला ‘बुकनू’ केवल एक मसाला नहीं, बल्कि पीढ़ियों से चली आ रही पारंपरिक स्वाद-संस्कृति की पहचान है।
सोंठ, काला नमक, हींग, मेथी, अजवाइन, हल्दी, जीरा और कई अन्य मसालों व जड़ी-बूटियों के संतुलित मिश्रण से तैयार बुकनू साधारण भोजन के स्वाद को भी खास बना देता है।
उत्तर प्रदेश की इस अनूठी खाद्य परंपरा को इसके पारंपरिक पाचक गुणों के लिए भी जाना जाता है। इसे परांठे, पूरी और दाल-चावल जैसे व्यंजनों पर हल्का-सा छिड़ककर खाया जाता है, जिससे भोजन के स्वाद में एक अलग ही रंग जुड़ जाता है।

Yes, all those who do not move out of their homes on long weekends , we all laugh at people taking the entire city to the mountains
But when everyone wants peace ,
Why Are We All Stuck in Traffic ?
I tried to explain why this happens
That though the crowd looks foolish, it is not
I’m reading this book called the Wisdom of Crowds , and it does have some really good insights and possibly a way out
People deserve a break
Better planning could help them actually enjoy it 🙏
How Kanpur is Losing its Economic Future
When local citizen-led pages like @KanpuriyaFeed@kanpursneed etc and other individuals need to post 24/7 on X just to get basic streetlights, clear garbage dumps, and patch broken roads, it isn't just a minor civic complaint. It is a full-scale structural crisis. While we are kept distracted fighting for bare-minimum survival, our city's long-term economic growth is slipping away.
Look at the hard, period-to-period data tracking the Gross District Domestic Product (GDDP) at current prices, officially released by the UP Directorate of Economics & Statistics:
•The Pre-Pandemic Baseline (FY 2018–19):
◦Lucknow GDDP: ~₹75,000 Crore
◦Kanpur Nagar GDDP: ~₹61,000 Crore (A manageable economic gap of ~₹14,000 Crore)
•The Post-Pandemic Reality (Recent Government Baseline): After years of rapid new-age infrastructure expansion in Lucknow and stagnation in the Kanpur
◦Lucknow GDDP: Surged past ₹1,40,904 Crore (~87.8% massive growth rate )
◦Kanpur Nagar GDDP: Lagged behind at ₹76,440 Crore (~25.3% slow growth)
The gap between us has officially exploded to over ₹64,000 Crore.
The Brutal Reality: Slipping in the Rankings
While UP’s GDP is scaling aggressively, Kanpur is losing its historical title as the state's financial powerhouse . Currently , Lucknow firmly holds Rank 2 in the state's economic hierarchy. Meanwhile, Kanpur Nagar has dropped behind, lingering around Rank 5 or 6.
The math behind this drop tracks Gross Value Added (GVA) across industry and services. GVA measures the actual net wealth generated by local businesses and factories. Kanpur’s low GVA baseline proves that new-age wealth-generating companies are actively skipping our gridlocked zones. Broken connectivity and basic utility failures drastically inflate operational costs, choking local business growth before it even starts.
The Deep Psychological & Administrative Trap
1) The local administration frequently treats routine, basic maintenance—like replacing a broken streetlight or filling a cratered road—as a historic victory. They use standard public service duties as a public relations shield.
2) Because we have to agitate so aggressively on social media just to get functional utilities, we experience collective relief the moment a basic complaint is resolved. We celebrate the bare-minimum baseline as if it were actual progress.
While our collective energy and focus are entirely drained by everyday survival, we are left with zero bandwidth to question the absence of massive modern corporate zones, IT parks, or competitive economic hubs and other industrial investment
3)High value corporate investments skip Kanpur due to poor livability, local salaries remain capped for years . Our brightest youth do not want to leave home, but they are forced into a massive brain drain to Lucknow, Noida, or Bengaluru—not out of choice, but simply to access a decent standard of living and fair wages.
Routine maintenance is not a favour . it is the absolute baseline required . If Kanpur is to genuinely fuel the state's macroeconomic targets, the local administration must stop treating basic maintenance as an achievement and we need to focus on questions about high paying economic zones, Bithoor corridor which is already approved by govt , industrial zone which can generate employment and increase the median of per capita income . Fix the basics systematically, so Kanpur can finally build the modern, high-salary economic future it rightfully deserves!

The widest-reaching impact of @IndianExpress' Election Commission investigation yet.
10 days after our investigation into the rupture inside the Election Commission, the poll watchdog has told all 20 states where SIR is over to run a “special drive” to bring back voters “left out” of the rolls.
State CEOs have been told to identify voters deleted as unmapped or for “logical discrepancy” and that BLOs should go house to house to help bring them back. They will use Form 6 to apply for inclusion of such “left out” voters.
And the question added to Form 6 in July, asking whether your parents were on the last SIR roll, which one Commissioner called “unauthorised/illegal,” now applies only during the “SIR phase.”
What does that mean? In the 20 states where SIR is over, “left out” voters and first-time voters will use the plain statutory Form 6, without the question seeking details of their family’s link to the last SIR.

Starting next year, most Americans will apply for their passport entirely online. A revolution in how government works for the American people. The Trump Administration is making government simpler, faster, and more accessible.

No gifts. No sponsorships. No medical conferences turned into marketing.
Manufacturers, distributors, doctors and hospitals can all face action.
A medical conference is not a sales counter.
@divyamittal_IAS Few Suggestions
1. Indian Top elite Should be made to Send their kids to Indian Education system. It will certainly propel the system to self rectify in short term and bring long term solutions because some time Drastic changes are required
2. Linking Wealth to UID aadhar.
@divyamittal_IAS Like Bihar is witnessing Jan Suraj Movement under Sh Prashant Kishore, UP also needs different trajectory of politics.
Hope Your Call to Nation will Inspire Good Technocrats Professionals Intellectuals to Join Freedom Movement
@divyamittal_IAS Respected Divya Mam.
I listened to Your Tweet post on X.
Wishing you all the best and Full support from the Bottom of my Heart.
India Today Needs courageous, honest and Sharp politicians who have Genuine Socio- political capital.
