Every day when you sit to read, or study for your exams

remember its a privilege to get to study, some hard working folks work throughout days build houses buildings roads and other infra, in heat, in cold, in dry in dust

For 500 Rupees daily wage

Remember if you are not working hard, you are not going to make it. Remember the fact you are privileged you have to do something which gives back to the world

Preparing for UPSC is a dream not because of power or money or authority but to solve problems at grassroots, to make India, our beloved India, a land better than anywhere in this world, remember them, hard working people, not you, who cannot even study for 7-8 hours in a day

Ravi Ashwin on Vaibhav Suryavanshi:

"I don't wanna play 15 years old boy card but tell me how many matches did he play at age of 15 to get this level of mental maturity?

If you remember his uppercut over 3rd man for six, the same ball at start of season he was trying to play staight & it was getting top edged, inside a season he made such changes at age of just 15.

He is not a normal player, his mom & dad need to do whatever it takes to remove bad evil eye from him. This boy in post match interview was saying that 100 will come later, I tried to win a match tonight for my team & the way he bats, he doesn't care about 100s as he knows he will get it here & there & there was a question on him, how he gonna play under pressure & he was incredible."

[Awanish Sharan 🇮🇳 @AwanishSharan]

Meet 15-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the record-breaker:

How it started:
• A 15-year-old boy from Samastipur, Bihar
• Started playing cricket at the age of 4
• His father even sold their farmland to support his coaching expenses
• His mother used to wake up at 3 AM every day to cook food for him
• He traveled nearly 90 km daily for training

What he achieved:
• Hit the most sixes in a single IPL season
• Broke a 14-year-old record held by Chris Gayle
• Became the first Indian to hit 50 sixes in a single season
• Most sixes in an innings
• Highest strike rate in a season
• Fastest fifty in an Eliminator match
• Fastest century by an Indian
• Fastest player to reach 400 runs

And he achieved all of this in just one single season.

[Sachin Tendulkar @sachin_rt]

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s bat swing has been outstanding. What’s even more remarkable is how beautifully he clears his front foot to create room for balls aimed at his legs. This freedom allows him to play the way he does.

That innings was nothing short of spectacular!

Different parts of India are witnessing soaring temperatures and the challenges that come with it. This heat is harsh on all of us and I urge you all to take as many precautions as possible. Please stay hydrated, keep water with you when stepping out. Offer a glass of water to others. In weather like this, such kindness goes a long way.

Do we really need CBSE or ICSE board exams anymore?

What exact purpose are they serving in a modern education system where a large number of students eventually have to clear more relevant professional exams like NEET, JEE, GATE, CAT, etc. anyway?

Some will say that minimum marks in boards decide eligibility for professional exams. Do we really need eligibility criteria at such a junior level when we are moving away from eligibility criteria even in post-graduation and making people scoring minus 40 eligible to become postgraduate doctors?

And if one still insists that board exams must continue, why continue with descriptive answer writing? CBSE is already dealing with concerns around examiner bias, inconsistent checking, logistics of moving and handling answer sheets, delays, and controversies around evaluation. A comprehensive online MCQ-based system would solve many of these problems at once. There would be no examiner bias, no handwriting advantage, no subjective marking, lower cost, easier logistics, fewer human errors, and almost instant results.

More importantly, it would prepare students for what comes next because many major competitive and professional examinations are already MCQ-based. If the destination is eventually MCQs anyway, making students spend years mastering the art of writing long descriptive answers feels a bit like training people to ride horses before putting them in cars.

Andhra Pradesh’s recent decision to pay parents Rs 30,000 for their third child and Rs 40,000 for the fourth will turn India’s demographic dividend into a demographic disaster and trigger another partition.

Here I provide seven arguments why @ncbn must withdraw this policy:

[STAR Boy TARUN @Starboy2079]

Friends this 28 acre prime land of Delhi Gymkhana club in the center of Delhi is our land

It's public land and must be used only for public purpose but currently it's occupied by 2500 elite people.

The cost of this land is thousands of crores, annual rent must be Rs 100 crore but do you know how much money they pay to us?

Just Rs 1000 per year

This is open loot of our money

Nehru gave this land to elites in 1947 and now Modi ji is trying to recover it back

Should Modi ji go ahead and take back this land so that this can be used by the Indian army for our security

All cities have such elite encroachments
Should Modi ji take back all such lands?

What do you say?

[Anuj Singh Tomar @ErAnuj24]

You are right IAS Rohit.

[Vantage Monitor @Vantagemonitor]

🚨 Sometimes institutions are judged not by their strength in war, but by how they stand beside their own people in difficult moments.

The ITBP episode in Kanpur has triggered a larger question. Have some institutions become so bound by procedure and silence that they struggle to stand up for their own?

Many still remember the Patiala Colonel Bath episode and the debate sparked around whether the army as an organisation did enough.

This is not about the Army is better or ITBP is better. It is about leadership, morale, and whether institutions protect the people who serve them.

The real question is not who shouted louder or who did right.

The real question is are we as a nation addressing the larger issue. Are we listening to our own?

Manoj Madhusudhanan took a ₹1.86 crore home loan from ICICI Bank.

As collateral, he handed over his original property documents. Every homebuyer does this. You have no choice.

ICICI Bank sent those documents to their storage facility in Hyderabad via courier. Somewhere on that journey — Bangalore to Hyderabad — the documents vanished.

Gone. Originals. Irreplaceable.

When Manoj found out, ICICI Bank had one answer: it was the courier company's fault. Not ours.

He went to the Banking Ombudsman. They told ICICI to publish a public notice about the loss and pay him ₹25,000 for the trouble.

Twenty-five thousand rupees. For losing the original documents to a ₹1.86 crore property.

Manoj sent a legal notice. ICICI denied any mistake.

He went to the NCDRC.

The apex consumer court looked at the facts. The bank had taken custody of the documents. The bank had chosen the courier. The bank could not hand that liability to a third party and walk away.

ICICI Bank — India's second-largest private bank, ₹9 lakh crore in assets — was held liable. Ordered to obtain reconstructed certified copies, issue an indemnity bond, and pay ₹25 lakh in compensation.

One loan. One lost file. One bank that blamed the courier.

Save this — if your bank loses your original property documents, they cannot blame their courier agent. The documents were in their custody. The liability is theirs. File at your district consumer forum. The law is on your side.

"Ye sab log bahut nirdayi hain, mummy. Mera dum ghut raha hai yahan."

"Maa, aap mujhe yahan se le jao, please."

"Mera jeevan narak ho gaya hai, mummy."

What will you do as a parent if your married daughter sends you such messages about harassment from her in-laws repeatedly every now and then? I'm sure all of you with daughters won't waste a second after receiving the first SOS message or call, and rescue her, but sadly, it doesn't happen so often in the offline world. Why?

These messages were sent by Twisha Sharma to her mother, a woman who allegedly died by suicide in Bhopal due to alleged harassment by her husband and in-laws. The girl was well-educated and from an accomplished family. Why didn't the parents act after the first call for help?

And mind you, I'm not blaming them for the outcome. The sole criminal responsibility for this alleged suicide lies only with the alleged harassers. I'm just pointing out the helpless social reality that many parents hesitate, delay, or keep hoping things will improve on their own, even families as well-educated and accomplished as Twisha's.

Just sad. High time parents realise that a divorced daughter is always better than a dead daughter.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Jitu Munda (55) had approached the Odisha Grameen Bank multiple times to withdraw the savings of his sister, who had died two months earlier.

Bank authorities asked him to furnish the required documents but failed to make him understand what exactly was needed or how he could arrange it.

An uneducated tribal man, with no knowledge of paperwork or procedures and unable to comprehend the requirement of documentary proof, exhumed his sister’s remains, placed them in a sack, and carried them to the bank as evidence of her death.

Once the issue went viral, the bank sprang into action and are now saying that he will be guided and helped. But shouldn’t this be the standard practice? Grameen banks were established for financial inclusion, to serve the most vulnerable sections of society, not to burden them with rigid, urban-centric bureaucratic processes they neither understand nor can navigate.

Moreover, the staff in such banks are mostly local and are expected to understand the ground realities far better. If even they fail to bridge the gap between policy and people, then the very purpose of these institutions stands defeated.

IndiGo built a spotless brand over 20 years. Clean, familiar, dependable. In the last 100 hours, it has torched it.

As the Govt capitulates to blackmail, IndiGo still believes it is too big to play by the rules.

And it has forgotten the flyer.

My take:
