@authoramish True. But at home, if parents are busy in offices, & phones, grand parents r living somewhr else. Phone is full of rubbish (reels, shorts) - who will tell these stories to the kids? This needs a societal change.

[NHAI @NHAI_Official]

NHAI regrets the inconvenience caused to NH commuters due to the road surface cave-in at a location on the Delhi–Dehradun Economic Corridor following rainfall. The section has been restored and opened for regular traffic movement.

The incident occurred due to localized water stagnation, as the permanent cross-drainage system at the location could not be commissioned due to sustained resistance from local residents, who did not permit integration of the balancing culvert and instead used the culvert opening as a vehicular crossing. This prevented the intended drainage arrangement from becoming operational.

Following yesterday's incident, NHAI immediately undertook restoration works and has commenced construction of an interim parallel drain to ensure safe disposal of rainwater until the permanent drainage system can be commissioned. The affected location is under continuous monitoring to ensure safe and uninterrupted traffic movement.

Taking serious cognizance of the incident, Show Cause Notices have been issued to the concerned Project Director, Authority Engineer and EPC Contractor, while the Team Leader of the Authority Engineer and the Project Manager of the contractor have been suspended.

NHAI remains committed to taking all necessary measures to ensure resilient and reliable National Highway infrastructure.

Two Tomahawk missiles, reportedly fired from George Soros's Bedford residence in New York, in a bid to sabotage Shri Nitin Gadkari's infrastructure work, hit the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway this morning. Thankfully, no lives were lost.

What exactly is an E20-compliant vehicle? By definition, it's a vehicle engineered to safely and reliably run on E20 fuel. That also implies a non-E20-compliant vehicle is not designed for E20. Otherwise, the term "compliant" becomes meaningless.

So my question to Mr. @nitin_gadkari is simple: Why was E20 fuel rolled out nationwide when most vehicles on Indian roads were not E20-compliant?

If the answer is, "Nothing happens. Non-compliant vehicles can also run on E20," then what was the rationale behind mandating manufacturers to produce E20-compliant vehicles in the first place? Either E20 compatibility is technically necessary, in which case introducing E20 before the vehicle fleet was ready was questionable. Or it isn't necessary, in which case the compliance requirement itself appears redundant.

You can't simultaneously argue that E20 compliance is important enough to mandate for new vehicles, yet claim it doesn't matter because older, non-compliant vehicles can run on E20 anyway.

By the same logic, why stop at E20? Why not go full aatm-nirbhar and switch directly to E100? If compatibility doesn't matter, then non-E100-compliant vehicles should run on E100 too. Clearly, that's not how engineering works. So where exactly is the technical justification?

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Shobhaa De writes that Siya's behavior is "justified" as the "last resort" of a trapped girl.

According to this mentally deranged budhiya, killing Ketan was a last resort because she doesn’t consider Siya confronting her parents, saying no to Ketan's parents, seeking help from a women's helpline or the police, or eloping as viable and sane resorts, none of which Siya even attempted. To her, the only resort left was killing Ketan.

In the pre-social media era, many fools were considered "intellectuals," and Shobhaa De was one of them. Social media has exposed the hollowness, pretentiousness, and hypocrisy of many such figures. Now, this mentally deranged budhiya resorts to desperate hot takes just to stay relevant.

On July 24, 2017, the Supreme Court, saying too much time had elapsed, barred investigation of cases of atrocities committed on Kashmiri Hindus in 1990.

Exactly 6 months later, the same Supreme Court appointed an SIT to investigate cases of atrocities committed on Sikhs in 1984.

भारत तरक्की कर रहा है..!
आज भुसावल से गोवा ट्रेन से यात्रा करते समय एक अनुभव हुआ..!

अचानक, मेरे दोस्त के 2 साल के बेटे को बुखार आ गया। हमारे पास कोई दवा नहीं थी, और हमारी मंज़िल, मडगांव, पहुँचने में अभी भी 7 घं��े बाकी थे। हमने सोचा कि अगले स्टेशन पर उतरक��� डॉक्टर से सलाह लेंगे और फिर सड़क मार्ग से यात्रा जारी रखेंगे..!

मैंने यूँ ही ट्रेन में सामान बेचने वाले एक वेंडर से कहा..!
"हमें कुछ दवा चाहिए। क्या आप अगले स्टेशन पर इसका इंतज़ाम कर सकते हैं ? मैं आपकी मेहनत के लिए ₹500 दूँगा"

वेंडर ने जवाब दिया..!
"इसकी कोई ज़रूरत नहीं है। TTE (टिकट परीक्षक) से मिलिए; आपकी समस्या हल हो जाएगी"

हम तुरंत TTE से मिले..!
मैंने अपनी पूरी ज़िंदगी में किसी सरकारी कर्मचारी से इतनी तत्परता का अनुभव नहीं किया था..!
उन्होंने अपना काम रोका, तुरंत फ़ोन किया, हमारी सीट नंबर और बीमारी की स्थिति नोट की, और हमें अपनी सीट पर वापस जाने के लिए कहा..!*

सच कहूँ तो, हमें ज़्यादा उम्मीद नहीं थी। हमने पहले ही तय कर लिया था कि अगर ज़रूरत पड़ी तो हम अगले स्टेशन पर उतरकर बच्चे को डॉक्टर के पास ले जाएँगे..!

हमने सोचा था कि शायद कोई कागज़ में लिपटी कुछ गोलियाँ ही लाएगा..!
लेकिन ठीक अगले स्टेशन पर, एक डॉक्टर अपने असिस्टेंट के साथ हमारी सीट पर आए। TTE भी वहाँ मौजूद थे। बच्चे की जाँच करने के बाद, डॉक्टर ने तुरंत अपने असिस्टेंट को हमें सिरप की कुछ बोतलें देने का निर्देश दिया। उन्होंने दवा देने का तरीका समझाया और फिर TTE से पैंट्री से थोड़ा नमक मँगवाने को कहा..!

TTE ने तुरंत एक और फ़ोन कॉल किया। डॉक्टर ने हमें बच्चे के माथे पर नमक के पानी में भीगा हुआ कपड़ा रखने की सलाह दी और चले गए..!

जब हमने आवाज़ देकर पूछा कि हमें कितने पैसे देने हैं, तो हमें बताया गया कि यह सब पूरी तरह से मुफ़्त था..!

हम अभी भी हैरान और चकित थे कि जब तक हम अपनी सीट पर वापस पहुँचे, पैंट्री ��ा एक कर्मचारी नमक लेकर आ गया..!

मेरा देश सचमुच बेहतर के लिए बदल रहा है..!

इतनी सारी आलोचनाओं का हम क्या करें..!
क्या उन्हें पेट्रोल के साथ पी जाएँ..!

मीडिया या अख़बारों में अक्सर ऐसे सकारात्मक बदलावों को उजागर नहीं किया जाता है..!
बदलाव हो रहा है। हमें भी इन अनुभवों को अपने रिश्तेदारों और दोस्तों के साथ साझा करना चाहिए..!
इसमें समय लगेगा, लेकिन हम उस बदलाव को देख और महसूस कर रहे हैं जो हो रहा है..!

Vulgarity is not creativity. Obscenity is not courage. And shock value is not talent.
Gen Z should stop glorifying vulgar comedians who mistake cheap jokes for fearless expression. Boycott them. Tell them to their face that they can never be the heroes or role models of society.
A society becomes what it applauds. Choose your heroes wisely.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

In 1990, Sarla Bhat, 27, was working as a staff nurse at Srinagar’s SKIMS hospital to support her family, even as fear forced her community to flee.

On April 15, 1990, Sarla was abducted from her hostel. For four agonizing days, JKLF terrorists subjected her to brutal torture and sexual assault. When her body was dumped in Mallabagh on April 19, her killers had carved the acronym "JKLF" directly into her flesh from a knife.

The horror continued for her family. When Sarla’s bullet-ridden body returned to Anantnag, the neighborhood was already a ghost town emptied by the exodus. Marooned and helpless, the grieving family could not find enough people to carry her to a funeral pyre. As they attempted her final rites, a grenade was hurled at their home. This targeted terror forced the last remaining Hindu families to flee.

Systemic apathy followed. Though a police complaint was filed in 1990, the file was buried. It took until 2025 for a Special Investigation Agency to reopen the case, naming four terrorists. Two are dead, one is absconding, and one is imprisoned: Yasin Malik, who was once pampered as a Damaad by New Delhi, invited to the high table as one of the esteemed "stakeholders in the Kashmir peace talks." Yesterday, chargesheet was filed in this case.

Sarla’s case is not isolated. Thousands of women faced similar brutality in Kashmir during the late 1980s and 1990s, leaving behind stories that have been completely erased from the records today.

चंपत राय को लेकर जिस तरह की reporting हो रही है उससे RSS और VHP के कुछ लोग नाराज़ हैं. उनका कहना है कि चंपत जी ने 35 साल समाज की सेवा की, मंदिर के लिए जीवन खपा दिया. लेकिन इन पैरोकारों को ये भी बताना चाहिए कि जैसे-जैसे रामलला का मंदि�� बनता गया वैसे-वैसे चंपत राय बदलते गए. उन्होंने राम मंदिर को अपना showroom बना लिया. क्या राम मंदिर को showroom बनाकर लूट का तमाशा देखने वाले को राम मंदिर से हमेशा के लिए बाहर नहीं किया जाना चाहिए? क्या एक व्यक्ति की ज़िद और अहंकार के कारण RSS जैसे संगठन की प्रतिष्ठा को दांव पर लगाया जा सकता है? #RamMandirCase #ChampatRai

[Rajat Sharma @RajatSharmaLive]

अगर कोई ये कहता है कि चंपत राय सीधे-सादे हैं, जिसने अपने आप को स्वयंसेवक कहा उसपर भरोसा कर लिया, तो ये बड़ा बेकार का तर्क है. ये कोई एक दिन की बात नहीं है कि किसी ने धोखा दे दिया. राम मंदिर को मिले दान में चोरी, लूट, उसका cover-up और भाई-भतीजावाद लंबे अर्से से चल रहा था. चंपत राय और अनिल मिश्रा आग से खेलते रहे, कारवां गुज़र गया, गुबार देखते रहे. #RamMandirDonation #RamMandir

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Shri Champat Rai’s defense that he didn’t pocket a single rupee is completely irrelevant. He holds ultimate moral responsibility for the corruption that happened on his watch.

If you excuse Rai because he didn’t personally benefit, then you can never blame Manmohan Singh for the massive scams his ministers pulled under his nose. You cannot claim the authority of the top post but disown the corruption happening right in front of you.

As head of the Trust, Rai's absolute duty was to build a foolproof system to protect every single paisa. The poorest of the poor donate their hard-earned money out of pure faith for Ram Kaaj. Letting that money slip into the pockets of subordinates is a monumental betrayal of public trust.

Hiding behind personal honesty isn't a defense. In a position of supreme trust, a total failure of oversight is just as unforgivable as the theft itself.

Today is World Refugee Day.🥹💔
For many people, displacement is a chapter in history books. For Kashmiri Pandits, it is a memory that still breathes, still hurts, still waits for justice.

#TheKashmirFiles showed the world a glimpse of that pain. But those who lived through that exodus know that no film, no book, no speech can fully capture the fear of leaving your home overnight, the heartbreak of losing your roots, or the loneliness of becoming a refugee in your own country.
There are people who say that such stories should be forgotten, that old wounds should be allowed to heal. I respectfully disagree.
Some wounds must remain visible! Not to nurture hatred, but to preserve memory. Not to divide people, but to remind future generations of the price innocent people pay when humanity fails.
Remembering is not revenge. Remembering is responsibility.
On #WorldRefugeeDay, I remember every Kashmiri Pandit family that was forced to leave behind their homes, their temples, their neighbourhoods, their childhoods, and a way of life. Their story is not just a Kashmiri story. It is a human story.
May we never allow such suffering to be repeated. And may we have the courage to speak the truth, however uncomfortable it may be.
Because when memories are erased, history finds a way to repeat itself. And that is a price no generation should have to pay. 🥹💔

As I travel to Mathura, I want to urge everyone to do their part in keeping this sacred city clean.

Just as we cleanse ourselves of daily impressions and negativities through Heartfulness meditation, let us also help cleanse our surroundings.

Whenever we visit Mathura, let’s take a moment to pick up litter and contribute to a cleaner environment. Small acts can create a big impact. When others see us taking responsibility, they too may feel inspired to do the same, and together we can cultivate a culture of cleanliness and care.
