If you shift from unwillingness to Willingness, from inertia to Effervescence, your life will be joyful and effortless. And one day, when you look back, you will see you have lived a Spectacular Life. #SadhguruQuotes
When something goes horribly wrong under their dept, the minister in charge should step down, plain and simple.
It doesn't matter if they didn't personally cause the disaster or even know every detail of what was happening behind the scenes. Being in charge means taking credit when things go well, but it also means taking the fall when things fall apart. That is what true leadership is about.
Since politics is all about strategic morality than real morality, I'll talk about strategy only. Stepping down isn't a sign of weakness; it’s actually a smart, strong political move. When a minister stays put after a major disaster, the story becomes all about them trying to save their own job, and the controversy just drags on endlessly. A quick resignation clears the air. It acts like a fresh start, allowing the govt to bring in new leadership, fix the problem, and show the public that they actually care about high standards. It builds way more respect with voters than digging in your heels ever will.
When someone stays in office purely so the administration doesn't "look weak," or so the opposition doesn't see a resignation as a win, it tells the public that party pride matters more than accountability. Voters can easily tell the difference between standing firm on principle and being too stubborn to own up to a failure.
A girl traveling with a valid 1AC ticket was allegedly forced to give up her own reserved seat
because a ticketless VIP claiming to be a "Judge" wanted it.
A guy had booked a Lower Berth for his sister because she suffers from drop foot,
a medical condition that makes climbing to an upper berth extremely difficult.
However, shortly after the train departed, a ticketless woman,
who allegedly claimed to be a Judge, entered the cabin accompanied by the Police and the TTE.
When the family explained the passenger's medical condition and refused to give up their reserved seat,
the woman allegedly threatened to have them removed from the train.
Even more shockingly,
the TTE and the Police allegedly sided with her,
forcing the medically vulnerable passenger to move to the Upper Berth despite her condition.
A complaint was also filed through RailMadad,
but according to the family, no timely assistance was provided.
the biggest question is this
Has VIP culture become more important
than the rights of passengers with valid reserved tickets and genuine medical needs ?
Do you think
a reserved ticket and a passenger's medical needs should ever be ignored because of someone's influence or position ?
What would you have done
if you were in that family's place ?
A Dance of Human skill, grit and spirit. Spain has the trophy but congratulations to all who gave their best and lit up the world with a wave of euphoric moments to be debated, discussed and dissected. A Ball Can Change the World. -Sg #IshaGramotsavam#FIFAWorldCup
India just finished joint World No. 1 at the 58th International Chemistry Olympiad. All 4 Indian students won individual Gold Medals, scripting India's best ever performance in the competition's history
Just days before the chemistry victory, the Indian Physics team secured a flawless 5 Gold sweep, topping the global table.
Indian talent is ready to rule the world.
Congratulations Skyroot Aerospace on the historic launch of Vikram-1, symbolizing the soaring aspirations of Bharat! A moment of great pride & joy for the Nation. Best wishes. -Sg @SkyrootA
A historic new frontier for India’s space journey!
At 11:30 AM today, Skyroot Aerospace will undertake the maiden orbital launch of Vikram-1, India’s first privately developed launch vehicle.
This four-stage rocket is designed to provide rapid and on-demand launch services. This mission highlights the talent, determination and entrepreneurial spirit of our youth. It also shows how our space-sector reforms are unlocking new opportunities for innovation and enterprise.
My best wishes to the entire Skyroot Aerospace team for a successful launch. May Vikram-1 soar high, create history and inspire a generation of innovators.
I urge all Indians, especially my young friends, to follow this historic mission and join in wishing Team Skyroot success using #IndiaWithVikram1.

When I first came to India, the space industry was closed to private players.
The most well-known "startup" at that time was TeamIndus. Skyroot didn't exist.
A year later, in 2018, Skyroot was founded. Private companies in India couldn't launch rockets yet, but Pawan and Bharath forged ahead regardless, optimistic that liberalisation would happen someday.
Then, in 2020, it did. Indian companies were finally free to compete with American, Russian, European, and Chinese startups. They could build their own launch vehicles. And satellites. At an undisclosed location in the United States, Elon swallowed hard.
I was publishing videos about Indian companies on YouTube at this point. I remember thinking, "Making content about these spacetech developments is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Now, ~6 years later, Skyroot has gifted India with the biggest white pill of all time. While the world watched, a team of ~1,000+ Indian optimists (with an average age of 28) flawlessly executed an orbital rocket launch.
No private space company IN THE WORLD has ever done this on their first try. As I write this, I have goosebumps. I feel incredibly privileged to have been able to witness this firsthand. I also feel inspired by the resilience, ingenuity, and wherewithal of the entire Skyroot team.
The next chapter of India's space journey has officially begun.
A 10% surcharge on top of income tax for those earning above ₹50 lakh is an inhuman and cruel way of punishing hardworking taxpayers for earning more. The Government and @FinMinIndia seem to have completely lost their common sense by continuing such excessive taxation. Instead of rewarding ambition and hard work, they penalize success. Absolutely the worst Finance Ministry! @nsitharaman@nsitharamanoffc@nsitharaman
Spectacular batting talent and a gentle giant. Had the thrill of watching him in full force as a young boy and honor of meeting him in recent years. At the time, the whirlwind called West Indies was powered by Gary Sobers... -Sg
Nearly 120 scientists left ISRO in the last financial year.
So ISRO decided to make resigning harder.
People don't leave ISRO because resigning is easy. They leave because private companies offer better pay, ESOPs, faster career growth, and fewer bureaucratic hurdles.
Instead of improving salaries and working conditions, they chose the opposite.
If India wants to retain its best scientists, it has to make staying a better choice than leaving.
This is not how we will become Vishwaguru.
New factory nearly operational today.
All machines in. About to start
No power for the entire day 😒 havent purchased generator yet. Still waiting for machines (till today)
Turns out that the chaps from the electricity board drove past. Saw the hustle bustle of new machines and decided to cut power for the unit.
Our people go to them in the evening and they demand a bribe to enable power to the unit
This is how India industrializes 🤡
The future cutting edge of India’s Defence capability will be shaped by startups.
This one just built a drone that outperforms the Shahed.
Don’t be deceived by the rudimentary lab or the untidy test field.
These teams are hungry, lean, and they rebuild their product every time the battlefield changes.
They’re quick enough to beat the enemy to the next move.
We need to nurture them like national assets.
Because that’s what they are.
India opened space to private companies in 2020, Government promoted startups, gave them access to ISRO infrastructure, transferred SSLV rocket technology to HAL
Private space companies went from 11 in 2019 to over 400 by 2024, Space startup funding crossed 147 million dollars in FY2025-26 alone. Now same government issues memo saying scientists cannot resign from Gaganyaan till mission is done.
You created competing market, funded it, celebrated it Then try to trap people from joining it, Fix is not restriction, Fix is better pay.
Meanwhile around 120 scientists working on key missions walked out in past year. ISRO has 1,050 vacant scientific positions it cannot fill fast enough.
When people who held deep mission specific knowledge leave and replacements do not come in at same rate, missions start failing
ISRO pays entry level scientist about 72,000 rupees per month in hand. Senior scientist with 20 years maxes around 2 lakh with all allowances. Aditya Rallapalli ran simulation team that generated 25 terabytes of data validating Chandrayaan 3 moon landing, He quit.
Skyroot founders who left ISRO in 2018 hold combined 2,440 crore in billion dollar company. Startup employees with stock options can earn more in one IPO or buyout than ISRO pays over full career.
Cadre review added 460 posts, Changes nothing when private pay runs multiples higher.
In recent times, several mid and senior level scientists have left ISRO, and the response now appears to be tighter restrictions on those seeking to resign.
Retention cannot be built on restrictions. If you want to keep talented scientists, give them meaningful opportunities, greater autonomy, challenging programmes, and clear career prospects. Otherwise, let them move on.
The same principle applies across our strategic R&D ecosystem DRDO, HAL, NAL, and others.
India has an exceptional pool of scientific talent, but too often its potential is constrained by mediocre decision-making.
Technology is sovereignty. The sooner we recognise that, the better.
