difference is france wouldn’t have won that world cup without mbappé but spain could have done it without yamal… one carried, the other was carried.

The EU has figured out new leverage against India with regard to our stance on Russia-Ukraine war…drawing false equivalence with Pakistan and India over Jammu and Kashmir.
They are determined to make Europe’s problems, India’s problem as well.
Interesting that this comes at a time
when India is preparing to buy fighter jets and submarines from France and Germany collectively worth about $40 billion. India’s largest defence deals with the Eurozone.
Someone here needs to read out the riot act to them.

India is sitting on 400 bn tonnes of Coal .
Germany was using coal liquification to drive Nazi army tanks in the 1940s.
China produces 80% of its urea from coal.
China does 350 mt of coal gasification per year with 50 massive plants working on this.
This is a great initiative for Indias energy security .
Energy security is critical for national security

A lot of VIPs are now posting their photos of austerity. The truth is even terrorists won’t know many of them so they needn’t worry. What IS worrisome is why some high security targets are reducing their convoys? That should be reconsidered.

Trump's delegation enters China under a digital lockdown — officials leave personal phones behind, carry stripped-down devices and temporary laptops, operating under the assumption that anything brought into the country could be compromised by one of the world's most aggressive cyber environments.

Even charging a phone becomes a security risk. Federal guidance warns against plugging into unknown USB ports, where compromised hardware can extract data or install malicious software — a tactic known as 'juice jacking.'

The precautions extend beyond government officials to executives from Apple, Boeing, Qualcomm and BlackRock traveling with the president.

While India Focused on Elections, a Nuclear Milestone Moved Its Thorium Dream Closer to Reality

India reached a key milestone when its commercial-scale fast-breeder nuclear reactor became operational. Yet the achievement received little attention, partly because the country at the time was fixated on impending state elections.

Russia is the only other country operating commercial-scale fast-breeder reactors. In fact, it has two: the BN-600 and BN-800 reactors at Beloyarsk.

France (Superphénix), the U.S., and Japan (Monju) previously built commercial-scale breeders but eventually decommissioned them because of recurrent technical problems and soaring costs. China is currently constructing its own, the CFR-600.

But India’s 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam represents a major leap toward commercial viability. By “breeding” more fissile material than it consumes, the PFBR serves as a bridge to eventually tapping India’s massive thorium reserves — the world’s third largest.

India appears to have learned from the failures of the French Superphénix and Japanese Monju breeders, whose problems centered on the liquid-sodium coolant system.

Although India’s PFBR also uses liquid sodium coolant, it employs a “pool-type” design, generally considered safer and more stable than the “loop-type” designs used in the earlier failed reactors. In a pool-type reactor, the entire primary cooling system — including the pumps, heat exchangers and core — is submerged in a single large tank of sodium, reducing the risk of external leaks.

The contorted excuses being given by Western leaders for not taking a position are quite hilarious and satisfying to watch. Whatever else Trump might have done, he has certainly pricked the balloon of self righteous, supercilious sermonising of the West and exposed the fiction of the rules based order. India has at least been consistent on how it responded to Ukraine and Venezuela.

I have been noticing attacks on @svembu, his company @Zoho, and their products by Indians themselves now just because GoI is endorsing them and they are gaining traction.

This is very bad crab mentality which is not good for the country. It's time people doing this get out of a silly political mindset. The US govt or China endorse and support their companies to a great extent and that's how they make them big and powerful.

We never saw this in India in the critical sector of online tech for the last 25 years of tech explosion and this is why we have to use all foreign tech for even basic needs like messaging and email.

Trying to bring down our own good, innovative, employment giving companies who have actually helped thousands of Indians skill, get a decent job, and rise in rural areas, because of political differences will keep us forever weak.

The repercussions will hurt every Indian in the long term. Get out of this political mentality and help the nation grow. Or it will come to affect you personally one day soon.

We have faced a 100x increase in Arattai traffic in 3 days (new sign-ups went vertical from 3K/day to 350K/day). We are adding infrastructure on an emergency basis for another potential 100x peak surge. That is how exponentials work.

As we add a lot more infrastructure, we are also fine tuning and updating the code to fix issues as they arise. We have all-hands-on-deck working flat out.

As a matter of fact, we had planned on a big release by November, with a lot of the features you expect, a huge capacity addition and a marketing push. And then it suddenly went vertical!

We have a lot more planned for Arattai, please give us some time. Thank you for your patience and support! Jai Hind 🙏

Diplomacy isn’t for beginners—9 days after Indian Army said China used Pak as a live weapons laboratory during Op Sindoor & provided live intel to Pak on Indian weapons/aircraft, India’s External Affairs Minister meets China’s Vice President. Relations on a “positive trajectory”.

"When the brand name Amul was suggested, some people said how can you have an Indian name for butter? It must be named Lord's Butter or Paulson's Butter because Indians won't buy anything unless it is made by a foreigner. That's what colonialism had done to Indians. But I said, I don't care, we will go ahead with Amul. And that's how the most successful brand in India was born." - V Kurien
