हतो वा प्राप्स्यसि स्वर्गं जित्वा वा भोक्ष्यसे महीम्|
तस्मादुत्तिष्ठ कौन्तेय युद्धाय कृतनिश्र्चयः
तुम यदि युद्ध में मारे जाओगे तो स्वर्ग प्राप्त करोगे या यदि तुम जीत जाओगे तो पृथ्वी के साम्राज्य का भोग करोगे | अतः दृढ़ संकल्प करके खड़े होओ और युद्ध करो |

@Manik_M_Jolly Bhai the precedence was set the day they visited the first school without proper permission and were allowed to 'inspect' everything w/o being questioned or objected. Now everyone is just fwg suit. The teacher here and the ones I. Rajasthan were the only exceptions.
One of the rarest sights in Indian Railways: an electric locomotive-hauled train running without overhead electric wires!
This unusual operation is currently seen on two routes in India, the Ramanathapuram–Rameshwaram section in Tamil Nadu and the Mysuru–Chamarajanagar section in Karnataka.
But why is a small portion of these otherwise electrified routes still without overhead wires, while electric locomotives continue to operate on them? The core reason is airports and aviation operations.
On the Ramanathapuram–Rameshwaram route, the railway line passes close to a Naval air base, while on the Mysuru–Chamarajanagar route, it runs near Mysuru Airport. During electrification, concerns were raised about overhead equipment in the vicinity of active runways and its potential impact on flight operations.
As a result, while most of both routes were electrified, these small sections were left without overhead electric supply.
But Indian Railways still wanted to operate electric locomotives on the routes. So, a rather unusual solution is used: trains accelerate to their permissible speed before entering the non-electrified section and then roll through it using their momentum before reaching the electrified section again.
It sounds like a hack, but this is an actual operational practice, making it one of the most unusual electric-train operations you can spot in Indian Railways.
And yes, there have even been instances on these sections where a train reportedly got stuck after losing momentum in the non-electrified zone! :)
@mumbaiheritage It's a similar situation in every famous mandal or temple but it's unavoidable IMO. Can't make VIPS come in common queue due to L&O situation it'll create & can't let common ppl take endless time for darshan coz of rush behind. Designating specific time for VIPs - maybe..
In 2005, a female entrepreneur from Thailand visited Pune to seek the blessings of Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati. Subsequently, she began traveling from Thailand to Pune every month for darshan. She harbored a wish to have a Dagdusheth Ganpati temple built in Thailand as well.
Although the Trust did not grant permission initially, they eventually allowed the construction after witnessing her immense devotion. A 700-kilogram idol of Lord Ganesha was shipped to Thailand, and a temple was constructed as an exact replica of the one in Pune. This year, the first-ever Shri Ganpati festival is being celebrated there. Ganpati Bappa Morya!
MTech from IIT Kanpur.
MBA from Wharton.
Former 1994-batch IAS officer.
Worked in the Prime Minister’s Office
Then leadership roles at GE and Siemens before entering politics.
Today he simultaneously handles Railways, Electronics & IT, and Information & Broadcasting.
And during his ministerial tenure, he has been sitting in the middle of some of India’s most complicated transitions:
-5G rollout.
-Semiconductor manufacturing.
-Kavach and railway modernisation.
-Electronics manufacturing.
-India’s AI push.
You can agree or disagree with governments and policies.
But I genuinely like seeing a minister who seems to understand the technology he is talking about , and can then make a regular person understand it too.
