Correct amount of Debate(Opinions), Dialogue and even Dilemma are part of Democracy.
Too much of it and you are living in a chaos. Too little of it, you are careless.
The real estate mafia has started the fire on a large plot of land in Electronic City Phase One, burning weeds and dry grass. This could cause serious damage to apartments located in the area. Not surprisingly neither the police nor the fire brigade seem concerned about this. Looks like a well coordinated “joint operation”. Criminal act. @CPBlr@KarnatakaFire
@DocRGM_ Really appreciate this gesture. On a side note just want to bring this up. Few days back another Bengaluru Citizen did the same and only thing that people notice was his DL number plate. Racial tension, I see here in Bengaluru is at its absolute high...
Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
Powerful new Harvard Business Review study.
"AI does not reduce work. It intensifies it. "
A 8-month field study at a US tech company with about 200 employees found that AI use did not shrink work, it intensified it, and made employees busier.
Task expansion happened because AI filled in gaps in knowledge, so people started doing work that used to belong to other roles or would have been outsourced or deferred.
That shift created extra coordination and review work for specialists, including fixing AI-assisted drafts and coaching colleagues whose work was only partly correct or complete.
Boundaries blurred because starting became as easy as writing a prompt, so work slipped into lunch, meetings, and the minutes right before stepping away.
Multitasking rose because people ran multiple AI threads at once and kept checking outputs, which increased attention switching and mental load.
Over time, this faster rhythm raised expectations for speed through what became visible and normal, even without explicit pressure from managers.
@mohalimonster The argument is incomplete. While he is a talented player, he and Iyer refused to play domestic cricket. The BCCI asked them to play for at least a year of domestic cricket before being considered for international tournaments..
I live in two Indias.
One India where a 27 y/o engineer screams for help inside a pit for 2 hours until silence wins & another India where influence travels faster than sirens, where bail arrives before accountability even wakes up.
I live in two Indias.
One where a 25 y/o banker leaves work thinking about dinner & meets a road dug overnight with no lights, no signs, just negligence dressed as progress & another where responsibility is a word that rhymes with “later.”
I live in two Indias.
One where a metro structure collapses onto an auto rickshaw in Mumbai, steel meets flesh, headlines meet hashtags and the next morning the only thing stronger than gravity is denial.
And another where “probe ordered” is the national lullaby by authorities, 6 cr fined imposed on contractor & engineer but ₹15 lakh compensation for the life lost
I live in two Indias.
One where roads aren’t routes, they’re riddles. Step wrong, ride wrong, trust wrong and you vanish into an open manhole, a broken barricade, a construction site that forgot it was dangerous & another where ribbon cuttings by ministers are rehearsed better than safety drills.
I live in two Indias.
One where a indian life lost abroad is measured in crores & courtrooms, 262 crore calculated because negligence somewhere has a price & another where at home, a life is negotiated like spare change & compensation is smaller than the cost of the car that caused the crash.
I live in two Indias.
One where death comes quietly, not with guns or wars, but with missing bolts, skipped checks, unsigned files & another where nobody is guilty only “transferred,” “suspended,” or “deeply saddened.”
I live in two Indias.
One where citizens learn to walk looking down not out of humility, but survival & another where leaders look up at drone shots and call it destiny.
The system doesn’t always pull the trigger. It just removes the safety net and waits.
And when we fall, they call it an accident.
When we die, they call it unfortunate.
And when we forget, they call it normal.
And maybe the scariest rhyme of all the India that builds the road is not the India that walks on it.
And both Indias share the same map,
the same anthem, the same promises but not the same protection.
@mashrujeet@mihirkotecha Compared to other states, Maharashtra has the highest commission of 18% with the PWD, and additional cuts from multiple local "parties." Then there is other state tax!
Other states' contractors face lots of harsh realities when they come to Maharashtra and leave at earliest!
@Joydas@makemytrip@makemytripcare Republic Day long weekend disaster courtesy MMT. 5 follow-ups, zero resolution—just “system down” on loop. Even at the last hour, they suggested alternatives instead of cancelling. Apparently, they expect you to travel 400 km and figure out accommodation on the way. Brilliant!!
This is a highway in Sri Lanka connecting Colombo to the South.
A concrete road(not even tar) so smooth it puts our expressways to shame.
You can’t thump your chest as a nationalist while being scammed at home.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
Ashamed of how basic necessities are not taken while hosting international tournaments! These days I'm overly pessimistic about the authorities in India but not people.
Vishwa ko Guru bana diya... 🙏🏻
VIDEO | India Open 2026: Denmark shuttler Mia Blichfeldt criticises the playing conditions after her R32 win, saying the situation has not improved from last year and urging the BWF to take note ahead of major events.
She says, “The conditions are really poor. It was dirty last year and it is no different this year as well. I hope the BWF will seriously look into the venue conditions because this is not fit for players to compete in, especially if this venue is supposed to host something as big as the World Championships.”
