@RailwaySeva Well your person said it’s in the rule book and I checked and he was right. It will be nice to have a small 4-5 seater air cooled place to sit with our pets(=family member) and for them to avoid the burning ground in this disgraceful summer. Kindly address the issue.

Hi @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji. People travelling with Pets, who carry all valid documents, would also like to sit in the Waiting Room. Why such discrimination? @RailMinIndia - Also while at it, kindly train the officials at the station to communicate politely, empathetically with psngrs

Breaking:

14th LPG tanker bound for India crosses Hormuz; 15th crossing underway.

With this all 15 LPG Tankers bound for India have left Persian gulf, as result of the multi-agency coordination by the Indian Govt.

Indian Navy provided necessary support & escort.

Our Most Hon'ble PM told us to save petrol & diesel by using public transport & use car pooling. Hon'ble PM also told us one year don't holiday abroad & don't buy gold. We will all stand by our PM, this war is not his fault but let him promise us,
1) BJP ministers won't travel in huge convoys with entourage! The union & state Babus will use public transport.
2) We won't purchase gold, but gold is used as a medium to hide black money by politicians, babus & judges so Hon'ble PM will go after that!
3) We wont go abroad, but nepo kids of Netas & babus who study abroad must be asked to come back & study in India & lastly
4) No more freebies like Ladli Behn & free LPG.
JAI HIND JAI BHARAT!

Hope you initiate some work via BJP/Assam Govt./Central Govt. to uplift situation of Indian Football. It’s a shame that one of biggest democracies in the world isn’t a top 50 football team and is unable to play World Cup ? Sincerely a football fan.

Where are the strong women to help men?

A simple act of kindness is winning hearts online… a biker stopped to help a truck driver fix a punctured tyre, no questions asked.

What followed was pure humanity - the driver, overwhelmed with gratitude, had tears in his eyes & even tried to offer money.

Proof that compassion still lives… in the smallest, realest moments.

Sure, your eyes aren’t tricking you. That clip looks better than the new trailer, and the reason has nothing to do with talent. The VFX supervisor on Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014? Jerome Chen. The VFX supervisor on Brand New Day? Also Jerome Chen. Same person. Completely different system around him.

In 2014, Chen had 50 effects artists at Sony Imageworks, the largest VFX crew the studio had ever put on a single project. They handled about 1,000 of the film’s 1,600 VFX shots on a $255 million budget. The crew shot on real film (not digital), on location in actual New York City, scanned Times Square with 36,000 photographs of over 100 billboards, and built physical lighting rigs on set so the CGI would match the real world.

Now look at how Marvel makes Spider-Man movies. No Way Home had 2,500 VFX shots spread across 12 studios and about 3,000 artists. The budget was $200 million, $55 million less than TASM2 despite having 56% more VFX shots. Digital Domain, one of the VFX vendors, was delivering final shots days before the December 17, 2021, release. They kept reworking shots into mid-January, after the movie was already in theaters.

Zoom out, and the math gets worse. Marvel released 6 films between 2008 and 2012. From 2023 to 2025, they pushed out 7 films and 7 TV shows. The Hollywood union representing VFX workers reported that Marvel pays artists about 20% below industry average and staffs one person where other studios hire three. Artists described 64-hour weeks and breakdowns on the job. Then, in February 2025, Technicolor, the parent company of MPC (three-time Oscar winner for Life of Pi, The Jungle Book, and 1917), collapsed almost overnight. 4,500 jobs gone globally. The studio had been actively working on Disney and Paramount films when the lights went out.

Brand New Day has four months before release, and trailers routinely show unfinished shots. But the gap between a 2014 Spider-Man and a 2026 Spider-Man has nothing to do with technology going backwards. The industry has been asked to do three times the work for less money per shot while its biggest studios are going under.

6 YEARS: FROM COVID TO IRAN
TIME FOR SOME PAINFUL TRUTHS 🚨

Six turbulent years from Covid to the Ladakh standoff to Ukraine war to Trump’s tariff offensive to the current Iran war have exposed a hard truth. India remains dangerously dependent on the world for things a serious power should control at home.

Energy first, since that’s on everyone’s mind right now. India imports about 85% of its crude oil and roughly 50% of its natural gas. We depend heavily on overseas supply chains for critical minerals like lithium, cobalt and nickel that will power the next generation of batteries and energy systems. Any disruption anywhere from the Strait of Hormuz to sanctions on major producers immediately ripples through LPG prices, electricity costs and inflation. The current LPG anxiety during the Iran war is just the latest reminder of how exposed we are.

Defence is worse. Despite decades of rhetoric about indigenisation, India still imports roughly 45 to 50% of its major weapons systems, making it one of the world’s largest arms importers, if not the largest. During the Ladakh standoff with China (which is still on) the country had to rush through emergency purchases of munitions, drones, artillery shells and winter gear because either we don’t make those items or domestic capacity could not surge quickly enough. A country facing two nuclear adversaries should never have to scramble for weapons in the middle of a military standoff.

Pharmaceuticals reveal another uncomfortable truth. India is known as the pharmacy of the world, yet around 70% of our active pharmaceutical ingredients come from outside, including China. During Covid this vulnerability became obvious as India scrambled for oxygen, PPE kits, ventilators and key medical inputs.

Technology dependence is the most alarming of all. More than 90% of advanced semiconductors are imported, most high end AI chips and servers are foreign made, and critical digital hardware depends almost entirely on global supply chains. In an era where AI will define both economic power and military capability, this is a profound strategic vulnerability.

Add fertiliser precursors, rare earths, electronics components, solar modules and specialised machine tools and the list becomes even longer. Each time the world experiences a shock (Ukraine, Iran, Azerbaijan, Covid) whether it is a pandemic, sanctions on Russia, a war in West Asia or rising great power tensions India is forced into code red emergency management mode.

The uncomfortable reality is that true strategic autonomy requires historically painful decisions. Building domestic capacity in energy, weapons, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and AI will demand huge investment, long term industrial policy, and years of political risk. It may mean accepting higher costs and slower returns in the short term in order to build resilience for the long term.

But India’s election to election political cycle rewards short term thinking. No government wants to take decisions that may, beyond a point, take a decade to pay off. The decisions these crises compel from a country like India will mean a total dismantlement of our politics as we know it today. It will mean a generation of turning the country on its head.

Yet the alternative is worse. As things stand India remains structurally vulnerable. A country that has to scramble every time the world shakes cannot claim true strategic autonomy.

From COVID to Iran, the last six years have made that painfully clear.
