This photo would attract more talent to our army than all campaigns. I believe no action should be taken against the officer. Infact this is the kind of thing we should officially do to attract current generation into defence.
India hasn't innovated at scale in a while since Aryabhatt, becoz innovation is bred by truth.
But we as a whole dont respect the truth as much.
We also are very spiritual, Which means we don't have a urgency, becoz everything can be corrected even after death, in other life. A content species with infinite time doesn't need to innovate.
Google which is cash surplus, just announced an additional capital raise of $80 bn.
Google annual profit is $160 bn, last quarter $62 bn, and market cap $4.5 trillion. That is close to total profits and market cap of all Indian listed companies put together.
It’s a wake up call to all companies to invest into the future, whatever the present maybe.
Now that IPL is done and dusted, time for India to focus on business of business.
The idea of an all-new ‘Flying Sikh’ understandably captured headlines this past weekend.
And perhaps no event in athletics grips the world quite like the 100 metres sprint. The search for the world’s fastest human being.
As schoolchildren, we watched Jim Hines break the 10-second barrier at the 1968 Mexico Olympics. At the time, it was hard to imagine India ever entering that conversation.
Which is why the performances of Gurindervir Singh and Animesh Kujur feel so significant. They make us believe we do have what it takes to compete at the highest level.
India’s national record stood at 10.26 as recently as 2023. We have now moved to 10.09 in remarkably little time.
I checked on the net and found that Olympic finalists are typically in the 9.8–9.9 range.
World Championship semifinalists are often around 10.0–10.1.
And Asian/Commonwealth medal contention can happen around 10.0–10.15 depending on the field.
So Gurindervir is now operating at the edge of genuine international competitiveness.
(For perspective, let’s not forget that Su Bingtian of China ran 9.83 at the Tokyo Olympics semifinals in 2021.)
The final frontier, of course, is the mythical sub-10 barrier. One of sport’s rarest achievements.
A huge challenge still lies ahead.
But watching Gurindervir explode off the blocks and streak to the tape was exhilarating.
I’d like to start my week with that same momentum…🙂

There are 14 IPL matches remaining.
Each match uses approximately 25000-30000 litres of petrol.
A person will take 30 years to use that much Petrol.
So if we ban live audiences of IPL, we'll immediately save 350000-420000 litres of petrol.
Just one action will save more petrol than whole city doing voluntarily.
When young civil servants say they have joined to serve the country and the people, it reminds me of beauty pageant winners who all admire Mother Teresa and want to work for world peace and children welfare, and all of whom end up as models or actresses.
Sitting in India right now, watching the world burn in real time. US & Israel striking Iran. Iran retaliating across the Gulf. Russia-Ukraine still raging. Pakistan-Afghanistan tensions simmering.
Missiles flying over Tehran, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Qatar.
And here I am, safe at home on a Saturday evening, in a democratic, peaceful country, worrying about none of this at my doorstep.
We don't say this enough - we are incredibly lucky. Not perfect, not without problems. But at peace. That's not a small thing in 2026.
Some songs don’t belong to one country. one language. one generation. Noor Jehan’s Sanu Nehar Wale is one such - a memory, a wound, a longing that refuses to fade. 🤍
On the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, which is commemorated as Parakram Diwas, we recall his indomitable courage, resolve and unparalleled contribution to the nation. He epitomised fearless leadership and unwavering patriotism. His ideals continue to inspire generations to build a strong India.
@IndiGo6E I have my Flight from DEL to KBV, 6E1069, on 9th December'25.
Can you pls update its status? Multiple directions issued by you are resulting in confusion. Thanks @DGCAIndia@AAI_Official@DelhiAirport
For all the Very Intelligent People on SM
If one terrorist attack happens, be assured that hundred attacks were prevented by intelligence and security agencies. With zero understanding of intelligence, don’t start blaming intelligence agencies.
You have no idea of dark world outside of your home. There is a very very dark world outside of your cosy bedroom from where you post such silly remarks.
