@HimjaParekh As parents, we are more concerned about how bad this will be when our daughters grow up. Clearly, this isn’t just flawed policies and politics, but bad parenting.
Guru Purnima Today
Darshan of Medha DakshinaMurthy
DakshinaMurthy is Adi Guru, Supreme teacher of knowledge & wisdom. Facing south, he is seated in a meditative state with right foot crushing demon Apasmara, symbolizing, destruction of ignorance.
Students for their brilliance in education can chant this particular mantra
Which is why Jupiter is called Guru. Four big moons, ten thousand rocks going round it, and none of it stops when a cloud goes over.
A teacher isn't a light you can block. They're something heavy enough that things stay in orbit.

Everyone tells you guru means “remover of darkness.”
It doesn’t. It means heavy.
Same root as Latin gravis → gravity. Same word in गरुत्वाकर्षण.
A weight never stops pulling.
Our Guru Purnima story 🌙
https://t.co/VMfexvkIkK
The internet was busy debating jantar Mantar & a quiet facility in India witnessed something straight out of science fiction. An engine fired up. But it did not hum & it did not roar like a normal jet.
It detonated. Continuous supersonic shockwaves raced around a circular chamber 1000s of times/sec, harnessing controlled explosions to generate thrust.
The startup D-Propulse just gave the world a sneak peek of their air-breathing Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) with an integrated aerospike nozzle.
Every jet engine on a commercial airliner, every fighter jet & every rocket we have ever seen operates on deflagration. We mix fuel with air/oxygen, ignite it & it burns relatively slowly at subsonic speeds. It is effective, but humanity has pushed this tech to its absolute physical limits.
RDEs throw that century-old playbook into the fire. Instead of burning fuel smoothly, an RDE explodes it intentionally. A continuous detonation wave sweeps around an annular (ring-shaped) channel at supersonic speeds, reaching over 2000 m/s. This is called Pressure-Gain Combustion.
It extracts 15-25% more thermal efficiency out of the exact same amount of fuel. In the world of high-speed flight, a 25% jump in efficiency is a completely different league.
Why this Matters for India?
For decades, the narrative surrounding Indian engineering was tied to catching up on legacy systems, spending billions trying to replicate 1970s turbofan engine metallurgy/importing critical defense tech.
D-Propulse is proving that India does not need to play catch-up anymore.
By leapfrogging straight to Pressure-Gain Combustion, an Indian deep-tech startup, guided by veteran scientists & built by young engineers is standing on the frontlines alongside research labs in the US, Japan & China.
Imagine hypersonic cruise missiles, ultra-long-range combat drones & spaceplanes that do not need heavy, complex moving turbopumps to break speed records. That is the realm this technology unlocks.
The future does not belong to those who build better versions of old machines. It belongs to those who rewrite the physics of how machines work.
Ever wondered why Jagannath's idol is wood, not stone?
Stone sinks. Wood floats.
It's a physical promise — He carries you above the Bhav Sagar, the ocean of worldly struggles, when you can't stay afloat alone.
Jai Jagannath 🙏
@FlowbyGoogle@chaas We created this film entirely on Google Flow, but never got a mention from you. Why? 😞
