With 1,600 aircraft on order, India will need nearly 30,000 more pilots.
I want our young aviators to train right here in India, not travel abroad for it. That’s why we are expanding the FTO network across India and building a stronger talent pool for our skies.
@CMofKarnataka Great news CM ji.. Late SMK will is going to be very happy and proud of you.. Most of the small parks in every locality is gift from your political guru..
Sharing this excerpt from a whatsapp message because it is important 🙏
Gen Z or anyone else who goes for a holiday to J&K, Ladakh, North East etc must know...
It is a *strategically sensitive region* where tourism exists alongside security,
*not the other way around!!*
Military convoys do not roll because some officer woke up that morning and thought,
*“Let us ruin somebody’s holiday...”*
Movements are planned.
Routes are coordinated.
Timings matter.
Logistics matter.
*The mountains are not merely a backdrop for photographs.*
Those mountains have names written into military history.
*SOLDIERS FOUGHT THERE.… MANY OF THEM PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE*
527 soldiers gave their lives capturing the Kargil heights so that you can move there freely.
And all these 527 were also Gen Z*
And soldiers *still serve there*.
Do not stand in front of a soldier and say:
*“I PAY YOUR SALARY.”*
No - the belief that money paid to the Republic somehow places the Republic’s uniform beneath you… is totally wrong.
*IT DOESN’T.*
Paying income tax does not give you command authority over the Armed Forces.
And that certainly does not make national security subordinate to your holiday plans.
You waited few hours.
*Somebody else stood watch for months.*
You missed part of an itinerary.
*Somebody else missed birthdays, anniversaries, children growing up, and home.*
And while you eventually drove away from Kargil,
*HE STAYED.*
So no.
*You do not pay his salary.*
*You pay your taxes.*
*The soldier pays his own taxes and also pays for your security:*
*IN A CURRENCY FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MONEY.*

Read this slowly.
Before her passing from stomach cancer, the iconic designer Cressida Rodriguez left behind a chilling reminder of what actually matters when the curtain falls:
"I had the most expensive cars parked in my garage, but now I move in a wheelchair."
"My closets were filled with couture and luxury, but my body is now wrapped in a standard hospital gown."
"I had millions in the bank, but not a single dollar could purchase a second of extra time."
"My home was built like a palace, yet I finish my life in a narrow hospital bed."
"I used to sign autographs for crowds, but today I only sign medical consent forms."
"I used seven personal stylists for my hair, and now I have none left to comb."
"I flew across the world on private jets, but now it takes two people just to help me reach the doorway."
"I could feast on anything on earth, yet my dinner has shrunk to two pills and a few drops of saline."
"None of the fame, the money, the cars, or the glory can comfort you in the end. There is nothing more real than life, and nothing more certain than death."
You are richer than you think if you woke up today with breath in your lungs, strength in your legs, and a quiet plate of food in front of you.
Do not wait for a diagnosis to start appreciating the ordinary. Hold your health close, cherish the people around you, and be deeply grateful for the simple gift of today.
@LalitKModi ICC Should be proactive before the whole machinery breaks down.. Abolish 50 over format.. Create separate set-up for 20 overs International / Club cricket.. Create 5 day International / domestic circuit..
I am pleased with my performance and truly humbled to win my third consecutive Commonwealth Games gold medal at Glasgow. This being my fourth CWG appearance makes this achievement even more special.
I would like to thank everyone for your unwavering support.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Lamine Yamal on Lionel Messi after Spain’s FIFA World Cup triumph over Argentina.
🗣️ Lamine Yamal: “Tonight I lifted the World Cup for Spain, but I also experienced something I’ll tell my children one day. The man who once held me as a baby was standing on the other side of the pitch, fighting for the same dream. Football has a beautiful way of bringing stories full circle.”
“When I looked at Messi after the final whistle, I didn’t just see an opponent. I saw the player who made millions of kids, including me, believe football could be art. I saw the man whose videos I watched over and over, trying to copy things that nobody else could do.”
“I know this defeat will hurt him. You don’t play with that much passion, carry your country again and again, and lose a World Cup final without feeling pain. Even in defeat, he kept demanding the ball, creating chances and refusing to stop believing. That’s what champions do.”
“People will talk about Spain winning this World Cup, and they should. But they’ll also remember that, at an age when most legends have already retired, Messi was still making the world’s best defenders panic every time he touched the ball. That’s extraordinary.”
“The photo of Messi bathing me became one of football’s most iconic images. Today we took another picture together, but this time I could thank him face to face. Without players like him, kids like me wouldn’t dare dream this big.”
“One day another generation will replace mine too. That’s football. But there will never be another Lionel Messi. Records can be broken and trophies can be won, but inspiring an entire generation to fall in love with the game is something only a few people in history will ever achieve.”
“Tonight belongs to Spain. Tomorrow, the debates will continue. But my respect for Lionel Messi will never change. He didn’t need to win this final to prove who he is. For me, he’ll always be one of the greatest players football has ever seen, and sharing the pitch with him was a privilege I’ll carry for the rest of my life.”
A World Cup final innings that nobody who watched it will ever forget. A 135 not out at Headingley that rewrote what was possible. The courage to speak openly about mental health when most wouldn’t. Losing his father. And coming back every single time.
I know what it feels like to be on top of the world one day and at your absolute lowest the next and I saw that same journey in you.
That is what separates the good from the truly great. Not the records. Not the trophies. The ability to get back up.
15 years. Two World Cup winners medals. A captain who made his team believe anything was possible. One of the finest that the game will always remember. Congratulations on an epic career!
The game will miss you, Ben. Enjoy the next chapter. You’ve earned it! @benstokes38
