1.27 crore bedsheets, towels, blankets, pillows, and pillow covers were stolen from Indian Railways' AC coaches in just 4 years.

These are AC coaches, generally used by passengers who can afford higher fares and, in many cases, come from financially well-off backgrounds.

This is not just about theft. It reflects a mindset. Public property is treated as if it belongs to no one, even though the cost is ultimately borne by the nation and its taxpayers.

And yes, among those passengers, there will also be people who spend all day abusing India and saying that India can never become a developed country.

Perhaps we should first look in the mirror. Nations don't become world-class only because of better govts or better infrastructure. They also become better when their citizens respect public property, follow basic civic values, and take responsibility for their own actions.

Morning. The last 48 hours of Codex and ChatGPT Work have been intense! Three important updates:

- Temporarily removing the 5 hour usage limit restriction for all Plus, Business and Pro plans
- Rolling out changes that will make GPT 5.6 Sol more efficient across the board and that will be reflected in less usage being used so that it can take you further. Exact impact to be quantified and shared
- We hit 6M active users, and are landing a usage reset in the next hour

Go do things

"Monolith" is a deployment strategy, not an architecture. All it tells you is that you deploy the entire system in one go. It tells you nothing about the structure of that system.

"Microservice" is also a deployment strategy, not an architecture. Microservices allow you to deploy individual components (that's the architecture—autonomous components) without deploying the rest of the system at the same time.

Exciting news: @OpenAI’s GPT-5.6-sol is now joint #1 in the Code Arena: Frontend, matching Claude Fable 5!

This marks the first time an OpenAI model has reached the top spot in Code Arena, demonstrating major gains in agentic coding, frontend and web app development.

Highlights:
- Significant improvement from GPT-5.5-xhigh (#18 -> #1)
- #1 in Data & Analytics, Brand Marketing, Consumer product, and Gaming
- Priced at $5/$30 per million input/output tokens - roughly 2× cheaper than Claude Fable 5

Huge congrats to the @OpenAI team for this incredible milestone!

GPT-6 news: @OpenAI engineer Roon indirectly confirmed that GPT-6 is coming soon!

He also hinted that GPT-6 will be a *substantial* upgrade over the latest model GPT-5.6.

My prediction:
GPT-6 is coming within the next 8 weeks. It will be a large model in the 6T to 10T class.

WHAT E20 CRITICS WON'T BE TELLING YOU.
1) E20 was made available for all 25 million petrol cars and 20 crore plus scooters in April 2025 last year.
2) In 2024, A year before that E19 was made similarly available.
3) About 3 years before that in 2021 E15 was introduced.
So for 5 years these vehicles have been running on E15+ blended petrol. By now we'd be seeing CARS / TWO WHEELERS STALLED AT EVERY TURN IN THE ROAD.
And if that were happening wouldn't insurance companies have increased their premiums? Wouldn't the 2nd hand petrol/scooter market have collapsed? On the contrary India's used-car market is exploding, outgrowing new-car sales to reach annual volumes of 6 million units. Valued at over $40 billion, the sector is projected to double to nearly $70–$82 billion by FY2031.

THE E20 DEBATE: FACTS VS HYPOCRISY.
HERE'S AN UNDENIABLE FACT:
The E20 programme did not begin under the Modi government. Ethanol blending was approved years earlier, during the UPA. The difference is in execution. Blending remained stuck at roughly 1–1.5% for years before accelerating significantly under the NDA.
So, let's first get the politics out of the way.
If ethanol blending was acceptable in principle then, why is it suddenly portrayed as anti-people now?
Now, let's look at the arguments being presented by critics:
CRITICS ARGUMENT 1: E20 FUEL IS BEING PUSHED BY NDA TO KEEP SUGAR CANE FARMERS HAPPY.
There's no doubt Ethanol is creating an additional income stream for sugarcane farmers.
But governments have always handed out subsidies or incentives to farmers.
+ MSP exists for 23 crops. Sugar cane farmers get SAP or State Advised Price.
+ Fertiliser subsidies.
+ Cheap or free electricity.
+ Irrigation subsidies.
+ Procurement policies.
If these benefits to farmers are accepted as legitimate public policy, why is E20 policy being targeted in isolation for market distortion?
CRITICS ARGUMENT 2: ETHANOL PRODUCTION IS WATER CONSUMING.
Yes, sugarcane consumes a great deal of water.
But so do
+ Paddy cultivators. Just look at the tumbling water tables in Punjab, Haryana.
+ AI and data centers.
+ Semiconductor manufacturing.
+ Steel and cement production.
The question is not whether something uses water, but whether the benefits justify the costs. Again why are critics holding E20 alone to a test that they don't set for others?
CRITICS ARGUMENT 3: THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT MAKE E20 MANDATORY. LEAVE IT TO CHOICE.
We're in a democracy and choice matters. But governments routinely make decisions that we, the people have no choice but to accept.
+ Taxation rates
+ Emission norms.
+ Fuel quality standards.
+ Safety regulations.
+ Identity Proof.
These are often choices imposed to achieve broader national goals. Shouldn't E20 should be judged in the same way?
Here's how E20 usage serves NATIONAL INTEREST:
+ India imports 85–90% of its crude oil. E20 seeks to address that by replacing up to 20% of petrol volume with domestically produced ethanol, helping diversify the fuel mix and reducing import costs.
+ With E20 NDA estimates saving Rs 1 lakh crore in foreign-exchange.
CRITICS ARGUMENT 4: COST OF CAR ENGINE WEAR AND TEAR, MILEAGE INEFFICIENCY OUTWEIGHS BENEFITS.
It is true that Ethanol has about 34% less energy per litre than petrol. But because E20 contains only 20% ethanol, the overall energy content of the fuel falls by roughly 4%–7%. So at 5% a car that gives 20 km/L on pure petrol will give 19km/L. But usage also improves air quality. Which increases longevity in humans and lowers healthcare costs over time. That is s fair trade-off.
CONCLUSION:
Every policy is a trade off. E20 isn't perfect. But if agricultural subsidies, procurement, irrigation policy and fuel regulations are accepted as legitimate public policy, then judge ethanol using the same yardstick.

All the silver bricks are where they should be and the Trust has invited the donors to come and check their donations

So your boss can go and check out his “generous” donation

I hope they throw those bricks back in your face, the Temple doesn’t need any help from people who are happy to scandalise an unfortunate situation for their petty political agenda
