The boys were so, entitled, so insulated by wealth from consequence, that it never occurred to them that their acts were wrongdoings. So were their parents.

What makes this worse is that the same BMW was reportedly involved in a March 29 incident, for which an FIR was lodged at Gamdevi police station after it allegedly hit a couple while overspeeding. Police say several more e-challans were pending against the vehicle, speeding, jumping a signal, causing obstruction.

And it gets worse still. There was a second police case on August 20: Gajjar and three others were allegedly intoxicated and created a disturbance outside 145 Pub in Bandra, even arguing with and obstructing officers.

Two police cases. A pile of unpaid challans. A documented pattern of reckless, intoxicated, lawless behaviour.

Yet the license was never suspended. Yet the parents never confiscated the keys and told their sons to take the bus.

Every warning sign was there, flashing, unmissable. And at every turn, money and influence stepped in where accountability should have. The boys believed the rules didn't apply to them, because until that night, they didn't.

And so, when we come to the deaths on the coastal road, let us be honest about the word we use. A tragedy, it was not. A tragedy is fate striking the innocent, the bystander, the couple on the pavement, the family that loses someone through no fault of their own. This was no tragedy. This was a catastrophe years in the making, one the boys authored themselves, mile by reckless mile, challan by ignored challan, FIR by dismissed FIR. They were not struck down by misfortune; they were racing toward an ending their own hands had been building since March. The coastal road didn't betray them, it simply ran out of road, as it was always going to.

The real tragedy belongs to those they could have killed along the way, and to a system that watched all of it and chose, every single time, to look away.

Stopped at a dhaba on the Jaipur highway yesterday. Hotel Jammu Himachal Dhaba,

Cheerwa, Udaipur. Bill came: ₹641.90 food + ₹32.10 GST. CGST 2.5%, SGST 2.5%.

Before I paid, I did what I always do. Opened https://t.co/o1skUj6JJH. Typed in the GSTIN from the bill. Hit Search.

Status: Regular Taxpayer.

I paid without a second thought.

But here is what most people don't know and what I have seen go wrong at dozens of small restaurants, dhabas, and shops across India:

A Composition taxpayer CANNOT collect GST from you. Ever.

Under the GST Composition Scheme, a dealer pays a flat tax to the government from their own pocket - 1% for traders, 6% for service providers. They cannot add GST to your invoice.

They cannot charge you CGST or SGST. The moment they do, that amount is being collected from you with zero legal basis.

It does not go to the government. It stays with the owner.

That is not a tax. That is a collection.

How to check in 30 seconds:

→ Open https://t.co/o1skUj6JJH
→ Search Taxpayer → Enter GSTIN from your bill
→ See: Regular / Composition / Suspended / Invalid

If it says Composition and they charged you GST you have the right to refuse payment of that amount and raise a complaint on the GST portal.

This dhaba was clean. Not every one is.

Check before you pay. 🧾

A bureaucrat is doing his job and asking fake food not to be served and a Citizen is requesting DJ sound to be eliminated for sound pollution. The fact that both have become HEROES based on these normal acts tells you state of our society at the moment.

During a solar eclipse, the gaps between leaves on trees act as multiple pinhole cameras,

and each gap projects its own crescent-shaped image of the eclipsed sun onto the ground.

Ghosts of the mountains do exist.

The first-ever photographic record of the elusive Eurasian Lynx in Sikkim is a significant moment for India’s wildlife conservation story. Every such discovery reminds us how much nature still has to reveal.

🐆🏔️

It was captured by a camera trap deployed during a long-term Snow Leopard and Rangeland Monitoring Programme jointly conducted by the Sikkim Forest and Environment Department and WWF-India. The camera trap recorded the Eurasian lynx on the Tso Lhamo Plateau in North Sikkim, at an altitude of about 5,250 m.

Presenting the Mahindra ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle)

No excess. No ornamentation.
Just focussed capability.

Every bar, every mount, every inch of clearance has a job to do. From airdrop readiness to mission-grade protection, a gun mount, complete underbody protection, tandem tyre carrier configuration, jerrycan holders, a windshield protector & a front winch ensuring enhanced survivability, versatility, and operational effectiveness across diverse terrains.

Purpose-built for our security forces, & proud to serve them

But to me, this is more than a specialised machine.

This is what our DNA looks like… stripped to its essentials

It’s a window into what sits at the heart of every Mahindra vehicle: resilience, adaptability, and the will to go anywhere…

How life begins.

At the Rushikulya river mouth in Ganjam, Olive Ridley sea turtle hatchlings have begun their remarkable journey to the sea. One of nature’s most heartwarming spectacles.

After nearly 45 days of incubation, thousands of tiny hatchlings are now emerging from the sand and instinctively racing towards the Bay of Bengal. This season alone lakhs of eggs were laid along the coast, turning the beaches into a crucial nursery for the species.

The phenomenon called Arribada; a rare mass nesting event where thousands of female Olive Ridleys come ashore simultaneously to lay eggs. The word “Arribada” comes from Spanish, meaning “arrival by sea.” L

Female turtles often return to the same coastline where they were born, digging nests in the sand and laying around 80–120 eggs each. Despite overwhelming odds from predators, tides and human disturbances, these tiny hatchlings begin their perilous march to the ocean, a journey guided by natural light and instinct refined over millions of years of evolution.

Scenes like these are a powerful reminder of how we share this planet with so many other species. (VC Odisha FD)

Questioning the "loud" celebrations of Dr BR Ambedkar's birth anniversary, the Bombay HC said that the great philosopher would have preferred a celebration focused on intellectual growth, social reforms, and empowerment of the downtrodden.

What is this, seriously? 😄

Rajeev Shukla was playing a corporate cricket match on Sunday morning, speaking to the press in the afternoon, presenting awards to the World Cup–winning team in the evening, and today morning he’s already in Parliament. Either this man has insane energy… or he’s secretly mastered teleportation.
