Noida के Sector 79 स्थित Mahagun Mirabella सोसायटी में तेज रफ्तार कार का कहर।
तेज रफ्तार कार ने सॉफ्टवेयर इंजीनियर महिला और उसकी 5 वर्षीय बेटी को मारी टक्कर।
The office of Chief of Defence Staff is not just a position.
It’s a strategic necessity.
Because the defining mantra of modern warfare is no longer just strength.
It is integration.
Congratulations and good luck to General N S Raja Subramani.
India has always produced some of the finest and brightest military professionals in the world.
And he seems no exception.
No theatrics. No swagger.
Just composure, clarity and what appears to be nerves of steel.
I was particularly struck by his articulate vision of India’s new-age military-industrial complex …one that brings together the armed forces, private sector, academia, startups, research and innovation.
That’s exactly the kind of integrated thinking modern defence demands.
We’re in good hands.

#WATCH | Noida, UP: On the cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 exam, Educator Khan Sir says, "This is nothing short of playing games with the lives of lakhs of students. Their confidence is being shattered, and the most unfortunate part of this whole situation is that just two years ago, in 2024, the exact same incidents occurred. A CBI inquiry was conducted, yet it yielded absolutely no results. The most astonishing thing is that no government agency detected or reported this paper leak; rather, it was the students themselves who were the first to alert the government to the situation..."
A truck driver on his phone rear-ended our car (A Hyundai Tucson) on a NH44. My 4-year-old was in the car. We walked away. Barely!
This isn’t just our story. This is every Indian highway, every single day. And nobody in power seems to care enough to fix it.
Here’s what’s killing people on our national highways and what we demand changes:
[LLMs have been used to for better phrasing]
📵 CELLPHONE DISTRACTION
Phone use while driving = driving drunk. Same reaction time, same lane drift, same inability to brake. The fine is a joke — paid, forgotten, back on the phone. This needs criminal-level deterrence, not a challan.
🚛 TRUCKS IN THE FAST LANE
Every highway trip, a truck crawling in the rightmost lane, forcing everyone to overtake dangerously from the left. Keeping left is LAW under the Motor Vehicles Act. Not a suggestion. Where is the enforcement?
🔀 LANE CHANGES WITHOUT INDICATORS
No signal. No mirror check. Just a sudden swerve at speed. This causes side-impact crashes and pile-ups that nobody sees coming. Fine and suspend. No exceptions.
⛔ WRONG-SIDE DRIVING
Tractors. Autos. Trucks. Even cars — driving on the wrong side of a 4-lane highway because turning around is “too far.” This is not a traffic violation. This is attempted murder. Head-on collisions at highway speeds are almost always fatal.
🚶 JAYWALKING ON HIGHWAYS
Pedestrians crossing 6-lane highways on foot because there are no underpasses, no footbridges, no lighting. My anger isn’t at them. It’s at a system that collects toll at every plaza and still can’t build basic pedestrian infrastructure. Very common on ORR in Hyderabad.
🛠️ WORKERS ON LIVE LANES WITH ZERO PROTECTION
Road repair / landscaping with no cones, no barriers, no advance warning signs, no reflective gear. Workers crouching in a live lane with vehicles flying past at 100 kmph. This is institutional recklessness with human lives.
🚚 UNFIT TRUCKS ON HIGHWAYS
Overloaded. Bald tyres. Broken tail lights. No reflective tape. Invisible at night until it’s too late. Vehicle fitness certification is a rubber stamp. Bribes are cheaper than compliance. We need automated testing with zero human interface.
🌑 ZERO ENFORCEMENT AFTER DARK
Every highway driver knows the truth - after dark, the rules don’t exist. No patrol. No cameras. No consequences. Highway patrol must be 24x7. Non-negotiable.

What can save you:
✅ 5-star safety rated car: crumple zones held, cabin stayed intact
✅ Toddler car seat: IsoFix is better.
✅ Seatbelts - every passenger including rear seats
✅ A good 2-channel dashcam — rear footage is now our key evidence. Front-only would have been of little help.
Before buying a car, check its safety ratings. Use a car seat. Belt up. Get a 2-channel dashcam.
Thanks to @HyundaiIndia@Hyundai_Global for making a car which saved us.

A special thank you to @AnantapurPolice for filing the FIR promptly and treating this with the seriousness it deserved. This is what accountability looks like.
Also tagging @arun_bathula who has been doing some great work in #hyderabad to bring awareness and educate drivers in the city to thank him for his efforts in making the city roads safer.
@nitin_gadkari@ncbn@AndhraPradeshCM@revanth_anumula@TelanganaCMO@NHAI_Official@MORTHIndia@APTrafficPolice@APPOLICE100@TelanganaCOPs enough talk. Fix this.

Tragic elephant attack at Kidangoor Mahavishnu Temple in Angamaly, Kerala.
On May 1, the temple elephant ‘Mayyanad Parthasarathy’ went into musth and ran amok around 9:45 AM. It killed Vishnu (40), a lorry driver from Kollam who had transported the elephant. Mahout Pradeep was seriously injured.
The jumbo lifted and flipped cars, smashed two-wheelers, and damaged the temple compound wall. It was brought under control by forest officials and police using tranquilizers after nearly two hours.

I travelled through Great Nicobar today.
These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow.
The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs.
The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away.
This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language.
So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime.
It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

Judiciary practically jumped to give bail to Shivam “Lamborghini” Mishra in a matter of hours.
We, who expect anything more from our courts, are the idiots.
My take:
