Regional names for the white breasted waterhen in India, like 'Dahuk' are far more relatable than Thomas Pennant's Greek heavy 1769 nomenclature. "John Gould later illustrated this slaty grey ,crimson tailed bird "Amauronis phoenicurus".

Here is a heartening news and a major breakthrough for young aspiring #StartUps, Innovators and Researchers:
In a landmark step enabling #EaseOfDoingResearch,
the GFR rules have been simplified for procurement of scientific equipment and consumables.
This will reduce delays, also enhance autonomy and flexibility for research institutions—empowering them to innovate faster.
Grateful to PM Sh @narendramodi for this transformative reform which will accelerate the technology driven journey of #ViksitBharat.

"How long a human being can run? Can humans run around the globe? I think I can do this"
This thought was there in my mind when I was finishing my Kashmir to Kanyakumari Trans India Running challenge in Kanyakumari in 2019.
And now I am thrilled to announce that I will do this world's biggest running challenge.
'THE RUN AROUND THE WORLD' in 680 Days.
A Run equal to the equator, the great circle of Earth i.e. 40,075 Kilometers.
Have to run through 20 countries across four continents.
Kickstarting this incredible adventure in December 2025.
(many other big adventures are in line before that)
It would require some big resources and a strong support network throughout the run, so posting it here to pitch for the sponsorships.
You can repost this and tag the right people.
