Her name is Vijayalakshmi. She is playing 'Gayathiri Veena" which was made by her father and it has only one string. She recently won a Guinness World Record for playing the Gayathiri Veena for 24 hours continuously. She played 64 songs at a time.
Surprising factor - she is blind.

Travelling in 12304 Poorva Express B1. All coaches are filled with non reserved passengers. While @RailMinIndia @indianrailway__ talk of better facilty and safe travel the condition seems to be deteriorating day by day.
@RailMadad is there a permanent solution to this?

In 2021, Sri Lanka banned synthetic fertilizer imports for one season. Rice production collapsed 40 percent. Prices surged. The government fell.

That was one country. One policy decision. Reversed within months.

The Hormuz closure is now imposing the same shock on the entire Asian continent simultaneously, and nobody can reverse it because the strait is mined, uninsured, and unescorted.

India is running fertilizer plants at 60 percent capacity after capping gas allocation at 70 percent of historical averages. Delhi formally asked Beijing for emergency urea on March 12. Beijing said nothing and banned its own phosphate exports through August. The fertilizer subsidy bill has been revised to 1.86 lakh crore rupees, over 40 percent of India’s entire subsidy budget, with urea still sold at 242 rupees per bag against international prices many times higher. Stockpiles of 17.7 million tonnes provide a genuine near-term buffer. But Kharif season prep starts in May. If Skymet’s 60 percent probability of below-normal monsoon materializes at the same time, India faces a food production crisis of a severity not experienced since the emergency that originally prompted the Green Revolution.

Bangladesh has shut four to five of its six major urea factories after gas rationing triggered by the Qatar LNG cutoff. Boro rice season, which produces over half the country’s annual grain, is underway with almost no domestic nitrogen supply. Stockpiles measured in weeks. The garment sector generating 85 percent of export earnings faces simultaneous cotton and petrochemical disruption. Projected yield loss: 20 to 40 percent.

Pakistan’s gas constraints are curtailing domestic fertilizer production while debt service consumes an estimated 81 percent of tax revenue. Every dollar spent on emergency urea imports competes with every dollar of debt repayment in a fiscal framework the IMF describes as carrying high near-term sovereign stress risk. Projected wheat yield loss: 10 to 20 percent.

Sri Lanka itself faces 15 to 30 percent rice yield risk from the same import dependence that caused the 2021 catastrophe. The difference: in 2021 it was a self-inflicted wound that could be reversed by a policy change. In 2026 it is an externally imposed disruption that requires a naval coalition to resolve, and that coalition does not exist.

Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines face granular urea above $700 per tonne for spring deliveries. These four countries sit at the heart of global food production. Southeast Asia produces 68 percent of the world’s aquaculture, dependent on soybean meal that is now repricing as the entire protein chain tightens. Projected yield and food inflation impact across the region: 10 to 25 percent.

Now step back and see the full picture.

One-third of global seaborne fertilizer trade passes through Hormuz per UNCTAD. Transit has collapsed 97 percent. Nearly 49 percent of traded urea is tied to conflict-exposed Gulf exporters. The yield response to nitrogen is not linear. It is quadratic. Wealthy nations operating above the agronomic optimum lose 2 to 5 percent. Asian and African nations operating on the steep ascending curve lose 15 to 40 percent from the same percentage supply disruption.

The crisis does not distribute evenly. It distributes along the exact fault lines of development. The mathematics guarantee that the nations least equipped to absorb the shock absorb the most damage.

Sri Lanka in 2021 was the warning. The world watched a single country lose 40 percent of its rice in one season and treated it as an aberration.

It was a preview.

Fields can do a lot more than grow food.
They can empower women, fight malnutrition, and build financial independence.

And with Naseem Shaikh’s plan, all you need to achieve this, is 1 acre of land. For over a decade, through the 1 Acre Model, Naseem has trained over 2 lakh women in climate-resilient farming, turning small patches of land into sources of food security and income.

Now, with 500 villages across Maharashtra, women are growing 36 diverse crops in just 1 acre each, ensuring they and their families eat well—even in droughts or floods.

From being farmers, to entrepreneurs and decision-makers, these women are taking control of their futures, all because of Naseem Shaikh, CEO, Swayam Shikshan Prayog.

This is incorrect. Indians were making paneer millennia before the Portuguese language even existed. For God’s sake please educate yourself.

Indians were making soft cheeses like paneer over 4400 years ago by using perforated vessels placed inside a big pot like the ones pictured from Rakhigarhi (2300 BCE) to filter out whey from boiled milk. The study “Compound specific isotope analysis of lipid residues provides the earliest direct evidence of dairy product processing in South Asia.” (Chakraborty, K.S., Slater, G.F., Miller, https://t.co/iTCYsu9epW. et al. , Sci Rep 10, 16095, 2020) analyzed lipid residues in unglazed ceramic vessels and found evidence of dairy fats on pottery fragments.

The study showed that as far back as 2600 BCE, Indians in Kotada Bhadli, Gujarat, were processing dairy inside pottery vessels, based on lipid isotope analysis that clearly distinguishes milk fats from meat fats. This means milk was not just consumed fresh but was heated, stored, and transformed into other dairy forms. The authors note that a previous lipid residue study on a perforated vessel from Nausharo had yielded similar lipid residues. This means that Indians likely used perforated inserts to separate whey while making acid-set fresh cheeses like paneer over 4400 years ago. These perforated strainers have been found at multiple Indian sites of that era.

The milk was likely curdled using sour yogurt which is exactly how the Indian recipe is still made today. Even today in Bengal the traditional technique uses clay pots just as we did thousands of years ago.
The Portuguese version traditionally uses animal (calf or lamb) rennet to set the cheese.

People said Indians can’t build premium brands that work abroad, well here’s Rahul at Subkos flagship store at Dubai Alserkal, Superyou now sells in Dubai, 11.11 sells in New York and Brad Pitt wears it in a movie (unpaid), Nappa Dori is on the parallel street to Subko in Alserkal (ps I have nothing to do with Nappadori, just proud)
@jointhefoundery will hopefully create a few brands like this too...
Premium, artisan, COOL, Indian brands to the world ❤️ 🇮🇳

When I was in Jodhpur, I visited some nearby villages. I wondered if the dry landscape could be turned green.

Here is a lady who has found the answer and has turned barren desert into a thriving forest in Rajasthan. Amazing work and my pranams to her.

We have a lot of dry land in Tamil Nadu too and I would like to try her approach.

I am in Jodhpur for the Maheshwari Global Convention event and I am talking to young entrepreneurs from the community today.

I studied in Chennai in a government-aided free Tamil medium school funded by the late Shri Jaigopal Garodia-ji. He was born in poverty in Sujangarh, Rajasthan and never went to school due to poverty. At age 10, he migrated to Kolkata in search of a livelihood, and eventually migrated to Chennai and found business success. He donated all his wealth to his charitable foundation that has funded education generously. A lot of schools in Chennai, particularly schools that poor and lower middle class kids attend, have been funded by him. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude.

My goal today is to urge the entrepreneurs to invest in long term patient R&D projects and think of it as the continuation of the educational and social service to the nation that entrepreneurs from Rajasthan are so famous for.
