There is no room for a mistake in this airport
This is Lukla Airport, Nepal where every landing feels like a final exam for even the most skilled pilots. Nestled between mountains at an elevation of over 9,000 feet, with a short runway and extreme terrain, this airport is the main gateway for tourists visiting Mount Everest.

The Stambheshwar Mahadev - one of the most unique Shiv Temples on Earth.🔱
At high tide, it disappears completely beneath the sea.
As the tide lowers, the temple rises again, inch by inch, until the Shiva Lingam stands tall once more.
It’s a daily reminder that even the ocean bows to Mahadev.

I’m surprised by the number of people who still use useless apps on their smartphones.
Here are 16 apps you actually need (but probably didn’t know about):
Your iPhone can translate a live phone call in real time, while the other person speaks a language you do not.
It has been sitting on your phone for months. Almost nobody knows it is there.
Save this. Here is how to turn it on:
Please, please read this news thoroughly, for your own sake. I experienced chest discomfort only when I started to run at higher speeds, and it subsided when I just walked or was at rest. That's called 'stable angina' (or stress angina). Unhealthy cholesterol levels, high(er) blood pressure, diabetes are some of the causes for this - in my case, it was unhealthy cholesterol levels, long undetected, while my blood pressure, conversely, continues to be on the lower side because of my running... which my doctor confirmed as healthy since I wasn't experiencing associated fatigue. And I'm prediabetic too, as I discovered during the blood tests for my procedure.
Rana seems to have carried his 'chest discomfort' for 3 days, after which it was too late for any intervention. This is a thin line for most people because it is very easy to mistake a 'discomfort' for stomach acidity, physical symptoms like muscle strain, or even 'heartburn' (which is quite literal!). In a way, I obsess over my daily run more so for this - to include a reasonably stress-inducing activity every day (since there is none) to see if I feel completely alright with it. This helped me identify that I did experience something unusual and it needed medical intervention. And since I felt normal if I stopped the source of stress (running at a faster speed), I ignored it for about a week. But since it persisted exactly only when I stressed, I realized that I was going through something predictably unusual and that needed a check. This 'discomfort' was not a pain at all, ironically. It felt, at best, as a steady tingling sensation on my shoulders and neck - nothing close to my heart! All the more reason to ignore it. But it occurred every single time I stressed myself by increasing the speed of my run, and subsided if I just walked at a slower pace.

Why is Rahul Gandhi targeting Adani Group? (Thread)
The Real Reason
Until 2019, Rahul Gandhi's primary target was Ambani, but he shifted his focus to Adani from 2021 onward
Question is: there are so many industrialists in India, why is he targeting just one group?

JRD Tata loses a pen!
JRD Tata, then Chairman of the Tata group, and senior Tata Directors used to meet for lunch at Bombay House (the Tata Group's headquarters) every day. One day, JRD came to lunch, sad that he had lost his favourite pen. He used to always carry a Parker pen set - a fountain pen and a ball pen.
"Look", he said sadly, "I have lost the ball pen. I don't know where it has gone. I have looked all over...but it's gone."
One of the Directors in the lunch room that day was Dr. Jamshed (JJ) Irani of Tata Steel. He made note of JRD Tata's loss. A few weeks later, when he was visiting London, he went to a small shop near Selfridges specialising in pens, and found a ball pen identical to the one JRD had lost. He bought it immediately. The next time he met JRD Tata, he presented that pen to him.
JRD was delighted. "Yes, Jamshed, it is exactly like the one I lost." For the first one or two minutes, he used it and tried it out. Then, Dr. Irani saw JRD's expression change slowly.
After a couple of minutes, he gave the ball pen back to Dr. Irani, and said - "Thank you for the thought. This is exactly what I wanted, but I cannot accept it."
"Why?" asked Dr. Irani, "I thought you were looking for this."
JRD answered - "Yes, Jamshed. But it is a principle of mine not to accept any gifts from any of my colleagues at work. If I did, then I know my colleagues would try to outdo each other and give me exorbitant gifts."
Dr. Irani tried to persuade him. "But Sir, nobody would know that I have given you this pen. You can say that you found it in your room. I am not going to go around saying that I have given JRD an identical pen."
JRD responded - "Jamshed, I know you will not do any such thing. But I would know. I would know that I accepted this gift against my principles. I am sorry, but I cannot accept it."
Each of us decides the principles by which we lead our lives. The principles that we will stand by, even if no one is looking or speaking about them. The principles that define who we really are. This story of JRD Tata's lost ball pen can help us reflect on what our own life's principles are. #Tata #ethics

You probably have no idea who Salim Kumar is, but every Indian should read all about him today.
Salim Kumar was a Malayalam actor who passed away on Saturday night in Kochi at the age of 56. If you don't watch Malayalam cinema, strap in because his story is one of the most remarkable careers Indian cinema has produced, and it deserves to travel beyond Kerala.
He came from nothing. Born in North Paravur, a small town in Ernakulam, into a family that struggled with money. Government school. Graduated from Maharajas College.
So, no film connections, no family wealth, no shortcuts.
He started as a mimicry artist with Kalabhavan, a performance troupe in Kochi that has been the launchpad for dozens of Malayalam actors. Stage shows, comedy routines, television spots.
He was funny in a way that was impossible to ignore, the kind of performer who could make a room laugh in an instant.
His first film was Ishtamanu Nooru Vattam in 1997, a small role nobody remembers. For years he played supporting parts & background comedy.
Then the 2000s happened. His role as Mattancherry Mammathu in Satyameva Jayathe gave him his first real recognition, and after that the comedy roles started coming fast.
Pulival Kalyanam. Thuruppugulan. Kunjikkoonan. Marykkundoru Kunjaadu. If you grew up in Kerala in the 2000s, his face was in half the films you watched. He became the comedian audiences showed up for, the one whose scenes people replayed and quoted at family gatherings.
What separated him from most comedians was precision. He did not rely on volume or slapstick. He used his face, his body, his pauses.
He could get a laugh from the way he blinked. Directors started writing characters specifically for him, because they knew he would take whatever was on the page and make it three times funnier than they imagined.
For over a decade, he was the biggest comic face in Malayalam cinema.
Then came 2010 and a film called Adaminte Makan Abu.
A quiet, small-budget film directed by Salim Ahamed. The story follows an aging Muslim couple in a Kerala village whose only dream in life is to go on Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca.
They save every rupee. Things keep falling apart. The film is about their dignity, their patience, and their faith through one disappointment after another.
Salim Kumar played Abu. The man who owns nothing except his wife and his belief, and holds onto both with everything he has.
There is no comedy in the role. No punchlines, no funny faces, no playing to the gallery. It is the complete opposite of everything audiences had ever seen him do.
The entire performance is built on stillness, restraint, and pain carried quietly behind the eyes.
He won the National Film Award for Best Actor for it. That is the highest acting honour in Indian cinema. The film was also selected as India's official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards (Oscars) that year.
In one role, Salim Kumar went from "the funny guy from Malayalam films" to one of the most respected actors in Indian cinema.
He simply disappeared so completely into a character that you forgot you were watching a comedian at all.
He followed it with more serious work. Achanurangatha Veedu, which won him the Kerala State Award. Traffic, still considered one of the finest ensemble films in Malayalam cinema. Perumazhakkalam.
Each time, he proved the National Award was not a fluke. The man had range that most actors who only do drama cannot match.
Unfortunately, Salim Kumar suffered from liver cirrhosis, a condition he said was hereditary in his family and not related to alcohol. His brother had the same illness. He underwent a liver transplant a few years ago. He tried naturopathy. He talked about all of it openly, without shame, without self-pity.
He kept working between treatments. He kept being funny. He kept showing up, even when his body was failing him.
He was also fearlessly outspoken about politics and social issues, which in any film industry can cost you work. He did not care. He said what he believed and lived with the consequences.
He passed away Saturday night at a hospital in Kochi. He was 56. The Kerala government bore the funeral expenses and gave him police honours.
The Chief Minister paid homage personally. Mammootty, one of the biggest names in Indian cinema, mourned him publicly. Thousands of people lined up at the North Paravur Town Hall on Sunday to say goodbye.
350 films in three decades. A National Award for Best Actor. An Oscar entry. A career that started from mimicry stages and ended at the very top of Indian cinema.
The reason most of India does not know his name is because Malayalam cinema, despite being one of the best film industries in the country, still does not get the national attention it deserves.
Actors like Salim Kumar live and work in a language bubble, and their stories rarely cross over the way a Bollywood career would.
This is a loss for everyone who never got to watch him. A man who came from poverty, made millions laugh, then proved he could make them cry just as hard, and fought his own hardest battle with utmost dignity.
If you watch one film after reading this, make it Adaminte Makan Abu. It is a masterpiece.

Here's how to check if you're one of them and what to do about it: 🧵
I think the CJP is heading towards becoming an offline political movement with a different name, no matter the bans on their SM handles by the GoI.
That's fine in a democracy as long as it remains peaceful and lawful. But the issue is, I fear, that the movement and their politics will be launched out of Gen-Z protests and anarchy.
This is the 'familiar path' the USDS takes to push new politics in democracies whenever they find gaps - like in India, where GenZ are disillusioned with both the government and the opposition over their issues.
The DS do this to try dilute control in a democracy like India and make it their politically weak, economically malleable large market. Nothing good ever comes out of such revolutions. Things only become worse for the target country.
Gen-Z must just look at countries around India - Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives - to understand how such revolutions to overthrow their existing govts ruined their economies and stalled even the little bit of development they had.
The DS always start with the destabilization of the existing political power structure by exploiting the right timing - like now where they may be temporary issues caused by global crises and AI-driven job losses. And by doing massive psyops to instigate the public.
Which is what I believe they are doing now. I may be wrong, but some patterns are hard to miss.
Their strategy is to use local issues (some of which may even be created by sabotage) along with global crises to instigate their target population and turn it into their political base.
In 2012, they tried the same thing. They used issues like corruption and crimes to agitate the public, amplifying their discomfort with the then INC government many times above normal levels.
All done to weaken the existing political power structures and launch nationwide movements and protests to enable the DS's political push.
But fortunately, one nationalist had already captured the gap among Indians by then, much to their disappointment. He derailed their plans, even though they tried to stop him using all means possible.
They could never really recover after that to capture India nationally. The man and his government have derailed their plans ever since. Their enabled political movement and party couldn't become pan-national as they had imagined.
Now, they are sensing another gap and an opportunity to relaunch their mission using another movement, with another set of protests and anarchy, this time targeting a new generation to dilute India politically so that we end up with weak, malleable coalition governments.
Some say this is going to be done by fully utilizing Meta platforms and Reddit - their favorite tools for mass psyops and political upheaval around the world.
By now it's just hard to miss how these two companies seem to turn a blind eye to meddling in democracies by some actors. Experts claim they work hand in glove by allowing millions of bots, paid follower scams, AI fake videos, and tuning their algos to favor certain narratives.

1/10 India's deadliest aviation disaster - the Air India 171 crash, killed 260 people. But it didn't just take lives, it also took down people's reputations with it - one pilot was labelled suicidal, the other panic-stricken. But evidence shows neither were.
In my in-depth, long form investigation for @Caravan, I use the plane's satellite transmissions, maintenance records and internal correspondence for a decade between Air India and Boeing -- to show it was engine computer FADEC that was guilty and not the pilots.
At around 08:08:44 UTC, the plane's computer FADEC commanded a fuel cutoff and this is the story of how and why it did so.
