Former Chief of India’s External Intelligence Agency (R&AW): 'There will be US🇺🇸 SANCTIONS, TARIFFS, all sorts of restrictions NOT to let India’s🇮🇳 economy grow'
'The US Deputy Secretary of State was in New Delhi, in March, and at a meeting, he said quite clearly that we made a mistake by helping China become a major economic power. We're not going to do that with India. We'll not make that mistake again.
I'm not talking about the Europeans yet. I am talking about America. It's an official talking openly at a conference. It's not even a threat or a warning or a suggestion behind closed doors.
We have to take serious note of that. But I've always written about that too, that we're not going to get any help. Forget it. We are on our own.'
-Vikram Sood, Former Head of India's Research & Analysis Wing intelligence agency, on the latest episode of New Order.

Namaste @krishnabgowda@DKShivakumar plz look to develop walkable footpath from #RRNagar arch and inwards. It's a nightmare for pedestrians coming out of metro station. And PLEASE, demolish those 4 unwanted flyover pillars in front of the arch ASAP
🚶 BENGALURU'S FOOTPATHS ARE GETTING THEIR SPACE BACK
From July 1–10, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is running a 'Safe Footpath Campaign' across 1,000 km of road network — clearing encroachments from footpaths in all five city corporations.
📊 WHY THIS MATTERS
30% of every 1,000 road accident deaths in Bengaluru are pedestrians. The Supreme Court has been clear: walking on a footpath safely is a fundamental right, not a privilege.
🚫 WHAT'S BEING CLEARED
➡Illegal parking on footpaths (vehicles will be towed)
➡Name boards, chairs, tables, and kiosks blocking pedestrian paths
➡Vendors and shops spilling onto walkways
✅ HOW IT'S BEING DONE
➡Notices will be issued before any action — not a sudden crackdown
➡Action will follow the Street Vendors' Protection Act and SC guidelines
➡Municipal officers, police, and clearance teams will coordinate
➡Damaged slabs and kerbs will be repaired alongside clearance
It follows the #1KmChallenge encouraging people to walk short distances instead of driving — Bengaluru is trying to become more walkable, one footpath at a time.
🗣️ WE NEED YOUR EYES ON THE GROUND
Let's make Bengaluru's footpaths walkable again — together.

Elon Musk reveals the moment his son Saxon left an entire sushi restaurant speechless
"I was living in L.A., and I took my older boys out for lunch to Sugarfish, which is a very kind of uptight sushi restaurant. In fact, on the menu of the restaurant, it says, do not ask for soy sauce, because the chef has put the right amount of soy sauce."
"So, like, extremely strict sushi restaurant. And so the waiter is going around asking everyone what they want and then it comes to Saxon and Saxon says I'll have a cheeseburger."
"And the waiter takes a moment to recover because no one ever asked for a cheeseburger at this very strict sushi restaurant. It took him like 30 seconds to realize he'd just been asked for a cheeseburger, because you're not even allowed to ask for soy sauce."
"So then when he finally recovered, he said, we don't have cheeseburgers. And Saxon goes at the top of his voice, what? Like, what kind of restaurant doesn't have cheeseburgers? He says, fine, I'll have a hamburger."
Japanese author and expert on Islamic thought, Akari Iiyama, said during a speech that the large-scale group prayers held by men on the streets outside mosques are not simply due to a lack of space inside the mosque.
She explained that this is done deliberately to demonstrate their numbers and power in society.
In Japan, the number of mosques and this trend of street prayers are increasing rapidly.
Hi @BLRAirport , the support center number for BLRPulse app (97414 39606) seems to be run by a bunch of noisy talkative girls who don't pickup calls & when picked up instead of talking to the customer, one can hear their own sweet talk for abt 20s. Plz improve. Bad service!
🇯🇵 If Muslims are allowed to build mosques here on our holy sites then we must be given permission to build shinto shrines in Mecca.
We need some right next to the Kaaba. It's only fair.
Nothing more lame than to see Indians, Hindus going gaga over some "Japanese" philosophy/quote which may not even be true. There is no deeper or better knowledge pool than the Hindu philosophies & ancient texts.
