Dr. Zarei, a Sharif University math professor, held his "Randomized Algorithms" online class from the ruins of the classroom.
Sharif University in Iran, a top engineering University in the Middle East, was bombed by the #US yesterday.
His name is Sanjiv Chaturvedi.
IFS 2002 batch. Engineer from MNNIT Allahabad.
In Haryana he exposed fake plantation schemes. Illegal tree felling. Misuse of government funds.
He was transferred 12 times in 7 years.
In 2012 he became Chief Vigilance Officer at AIIMS Delhi.
In two years he investigated 200 corruption cases.
Rs 3,750 crore irregularity in campus expansion. Fake medicines being sold inside hospital premises. Corrupt officials at every level.
CBI cases were registered against senior bureaucrats.
In August 2014 he was transferred out of AIIMS.
The health minister who transferred him later became party president of the ruling party.
In 2015 he won the Ramon Magsaysay Award.
He donated the entire prize money to AIIMS for treatment of poor patients.
AIIMS returned his cheque.
He has been in non-field postings for 9 years since then.
16 judges have recused themselves from hearing his cases.
No government in India wants him posted in their state.
That is how you know he is doing his job right.
“Everyone believed this river could never be clean again.”
But 19-year-old Bittu Tabahi from Biaora, Madhya Pradesh, challenged the “impossible.” He stepped into the garbage-filled Ajnar river and began cleaning it—alone.
It started on 26th January with friends. But as the work got tougher, everyone left. Bittu didn’t. Day after day, he removed plastic, sludge, and years of waste with his own hands.
Where water was once invisible, the river now flows clean—reflecting the sky and trees.
Recently, he was praised by Anand Mahindra for his work and initiative.
This isn’t just about one river. It’s a question for all of us.
If one 19-year-old can clean a river, can’t we stop polluting it?
The problem isn’t waste—it’s our mindset.
He started alone. What will we do?

Before the war:
1) Iran didn't control the Strait Of Hormuz, now it does
2) Iran oil was sanctioned, now it's not
3) Iran was not building a nuke, now it will
4) US bases in the Gulf were assets, now liabilities
5) Inflation was declining, now increasing
Definitely winning!
When Charles de Gaulle led France, he treated public money as something untouchable.
At the Élysée Palace, there was a strict rule for him: no personal expense could ever be paid for by the state.
His wife, Yvonne, kept a small notebook in which she meticulously recorded all family expenses — from food and electricity to clothing and even soap.
At the end of each month, she would send a check to the state treasury, reimbursing every last cent.
Once, an accountant remarked that this was not really necessary.
She calmly replied:
“Everything that is not public is personal.
And for personal matters, we pay ourselves.”
This principle applied without exception.
Their children and grandchildren were not allowed to use official cars for private matters.
De Gaulle himself refused any privileges of office: he paid his own bills at the palace — even for the smallest things, such as soap or family meals.
Moreover, he did not use his presidential salary, living only on his military pension.
After his death, there was no wealth or luxury left behind — only a modest house in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, purchased before the war.
It is said that he would sometimes personally send money to the treasury if he suspected that any personal expense might have accidentally been covered by the state budget.
This was not a formality.
It was a principle.
✨ An example of true integrity, honor, and responsibility in public service.
Bhutan is the only carbon negative country on Earth. They remove more CO2 from the atmosphere than they add to it.
A large part of this success is because their constitution requires the country be 60% covered in forest.
Currently, 70% of the country is forested.
When are we gonna admit that billionaire‑ism is an illness?
They’re hoarders
No control, insatiable greed & their hoarding just drains every one of us
They cut wages, buy politicians & bleed the planet just to watch a number tick up that they’ll never spend
Sick in the head.
The energy war just changed.
America burns coal at night to keep the lights on while China built something different and most people have no idea it exists.
In the middle of the Gobi Desert, there is a 263-meter tower surrounded by 12,000 mirrors in a perfect circle, spread across nearly 8 square kilometers of barren land.
It looks like something out of a science fiction film.
They are focused on a single point at the top of that tower, raising temperatures above 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
That heat gets pumped into tanks filled with a special liquid salt mixture.
They are using Molten salt, the same stuff ancient civilizations used to preserve food is now storing the sun's energy at 565 degrees Celsius.
When the sun goes down, the plant keeps generating electricity.
The molten salt stays hot for hours after sunset and drives a steam turbine on demand.
This is a 100-megawatt power station that runs 24 hours a day on sunlight alone.
It produces over 390 million kilowatt-hours of power every single year.
Every coal plant on earth has one critical weakness, it needs fuel to burn.
This plant needs nothing but the sun and a tank full of heated salt that refuses to cool down.
The implications are enormous.
The oldest argument against solar energy has always been: "What happens at night?"
China just answered that question with 12,000 mirrors and a tower visible from space.
Just to be clear Scott, the oil out at sea has already been sold, the money has already cleared Iranian banks and it's heading to its destination.
Did you imagine that Iran ships oil and has it circling the world looking to find a buyer?
Do you think that might explain why Iran told you there is no spare capacity?
Did you not realise that removing sanctions doesn't compel Iran to sell it to anyone you would like to see it sold too?
Do you not realise that Iran sells oil with sanctions in place and the US has been powerless to prevent that happening?
Zhu Youfang, a rural teacher in Hubei, kept teaching despite spinocerebellar ataxia, using a rope for support as her mobility declined.
Her resilience and dedication to her students are truly inspiring.
It should be a human right that billionaires don't exist.
Someone who has hoarded the much wealth can only harm others, and no one should have that much power.
To all the signatories:
What was the situation with the Strait of Hormuz before the illegal war of aggression by the American and Israeli regimes?
Didn’t you know that you were all benefiting from the free passage of energy and trade, while Iran—under constant U.S. disruptions—was hardly able to benefit from that same privilege, yet remained committed to ensuring safe passage for others? Was that not total restraint by Iran, even under such hardship?
Stop accommodating the American and Israeli aggressors.
Don't try to outdo each other with these statements. Stop the aggression itself. The aggressors expect hearing the same statements, so as to continue with their destabilizing mission. At the very least, have some fairness.
