जिच्या डोळ्यांत बोलकी संवादाची भाषा होती,अभिनयात वास्तवता होती.तीने भारतीय सौंदर्याला एका उंचीवर नेऊन ठेवले.सौंदर्य म्हणजे विचारांची स्पष्टता,प्रखरता,चेहऱ्यावरचा आत्मविश्वास,बोलक्या डोळ्यांतील चमक .तिचे विचार,चित्रपट कायमच काळाच्या पुढे होते पण समाज मात्र आजही तिथेच आहे

This is the status of water level at Godavari River. The photo is taken by me at Ramagundam.
Water scarcity is real.
Fertilizer crisis is real.
Farmers are very much distressed.
I covered Nanded (Maharashtra)and Mysore(Karnataka)district also.
All the governments should reach out to Farmers.
I just checked the financial status of Agriculture insurance companies. They earned profit of more than 47K crores in last 3 years. How come Insuarance companies are enjoying profit while our Farmers are into severe distress.

Note : Telangana Farmers are out of the Agriculture insurance scheme presently.

Veteran actor Nana Patekar has passed away.

The Hindi film industry and Mumbai share an inseparable bond. When one speaks of Mumbai, it encompasses its theatre, its world of commercial cinema, and the middle and lower-middle classes striving daily to carve out their identity, from slums to chawls. Then came the working class that gradually faced ruin in this city and across the country; the rise of the underworld born out of that social despair; the period where communal harmony unraveled before our eyes; followed by the post-liberalization expansion of middle-class aspirations and the politics swirling around it all. Through every such era, Nana Patekar made his presence felt, sometimes on stage, sometimes on screen. From ‘Hamidabai Chi Kothi’ to ‘Parinda’, ‘Krantiveer’, ‘Ab Tak Chhappan’, and all the way to ‘Natasamrat’, Nana remained ever-present. Across each phase, he brought to life, whether on the screen or the stage, the common man living with persistent inner turmoil.

Anger, humiliation, powerlessness, despair, revulsion toward immorality, disillusionment with the system, and class struggle constantly simmer within the mind of the common man. It spills over only occasionally through petty arguments or domestic turmoil. Otherwise, it stays bottled up inside. Watching Nana perform felt like looking into this emotional pressure cooker of ordinary lives. When Nana, or the 'Angry Young Man' Amitabh Bachchan, confronted these realities on screen, they vented the steam trapped within the human psyche. As I often say, just as singers and composers like Lata didi, Asha tai, Kishore Kumar, and Rafi sahab, along with filmmakers, playwrights, directors, and artists, entertained Indian minds for at least 60 to 70 years, figures like Nana and Bachchan Sahab powerfully released that inner steam on screen. Had they not done so, chaos might have erupted in this country every month.

Watching Nana act always reminded me of Hollywood's Morgan Freeman. Neither fit the conventional type of Bollywood or Hollywood actors of their times in terms of looks or persona. Watching Morgan Freeman, one often feels this is a man who has absorbed wisdom, patience, and a quiet acceptance of things as they are over time. With Nana's acting, however, I sensed fury, restlessness, and a deeply entrenched despair. Freeman represents a man who seems to have seen it all; Nana represents a man who has endured too much and can take no more. These are two opposite ends of the human spectrum. Because Nana could bring that second extreme to the screen with raw authenticity, he was a truly great artist.

In the 2000s, polished, fair, and conventional leading men began making way for story-driven cinema, ushering in an era of character actors who could carry a narrative and draw audiences on merit. Nana was undoubtedly the pioneer of this era. The prominence that character actors enjoy today was paved by Nana.

Yet, despite all this, he was fiercely individualistic, spoke his mind without filter, and was outspoken (though it hardly suits me to call anyone outspoken; be that as it may). Because of this, even when producers and directors wished to cast him, they often hesitated. Did this hurt Nana? One cannot say; he remained indifferent. But it certainly deprived Hindi cinema and its audience. While Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the late Irrfan Khan were undoubtedly brilliant performers, one wonders whether they and others like them would have found those same opportunities had Nana been willing to compromise. Moreover, Nana was not confined to aggressive or intense roles, through films like ‘Welcome’, he demonstrated to the world that he could handle comedy with equal prowess.

India’s Fruit Export Story!

Banana – India’s most exported fruit
Main buyers: Iraq, Iran, UAE

Grapes – Second biggest export
Main buyers: Netherlands, UK, Russia

Mango – Famous worldwide (Alphonso, Kesar)
Main buyers: UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA

Pineapple – Smaller exports
Main buyers: Middle East & nearby Asian countries

Banana and grapes bring the most export money for India.

India is probably the only country ( outside of China which also had leverage over US)which stood its ground.

It neither bowed down nor it engaged in petty politics of calling names.

In a world of demographic collapse .. India offers 2 important things which no other country on planet has to offer.

1. A very large domestic consumption market
2. A large pool of young, educated semi skilled blue collar workers force.

Trade Deal announced Tariffs reduced to 18%, Trump says Modi agreed to stop buying Russian Oil (Diversification implied). India to buy energy, Technology, Agriculture, Coal and many other products of 500 billion $.

(Agriculture likely for Industrial Uses, Walnuts, Cranberries, Washington Apple etc is my reading, US LNG, Oil we are already buying. Reliance will go for Venezuela crude & PSU for Russian crude, Middle Eastern Crude.)

The EU, UK & NZ FTA strategy paid off. Well done Government of India & @PiyushGoyal 🙏🏻😁

The Attention Constraint https://t.co/O9XL4lgETX

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

The Indian government is sending a clear signal: it wants young Indians to spend time productively.

→ 40% GST on cigarettes + excise hikes every year
→ Liquor excise keeps going up state by state
→ Complete ban on real money gaming: Dream11-like, all gone overnight
→ F&O taxes nearly doubled, lot sizes increased

Every “vice” that traps young people into unproductive dopamine loops is being made expensive or straight-up banned.

You don’t have to agree with every move (the F&O one comes at a real cost to capital markets). But the direction is clear.

Read the room.

*Where to Stop is Satisfaction*

KBC
In a recent episode, Neeraj Saxena was the fastest to answer in the "Fastest Finger" round and took the hot seat.

He sat very calmly, without shouting, dancing, crying, raising his hands, or hugging Amitabh. Neeraj is a scientist, a Ph.D., and a Vice-Chancellor of a university in Kolkata. He has a pleasant and simple personality. He considers himself fortunate to have worked with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and mentioned that initially, he thought only about himself, but under Kalam's influence, he began thinking about others and the nation as well.

Neeraj started playing. He used the audience poll once, but since he had the "Double Dip" lifeline, he got the chance to use it again. He answered all the questions with ease, and his intelligence was impressive. He won ₹3,20,000 and an equivalent bonus amount, and then there was a break.

After the break, Amitabh announced, "Let's proceed, Dr. Sahab. Here comes the eleventh question..." Just then, Neeraj said, "Sir, I would like to quit."

Amitabh was surprised. Someone playing so well, with three lifelines still left, and a good chance to win a crore (₹1,00,00,000), was quitting? He asked, "This has never happened before..."

Neeraj calmly replied, "Other players are waiting, and they are younger than me. They should also get a chance. I have already won a lot of money. I feel 'what I have is enough.' I do not desire more."

Amitabh was stunned, and there was a moment of silence. Then, everyone stood up and applauded him for a long time.

Amitabh said, "We have learned a lot today. It is rare to see a person like this."

To be honest, it is the first time I have seen someone with such an opportunity before them, who thinks about others getting a chance and considers what they have as more than enough. I mentally saluted him.

Today, people are only chasing money. No matter how much they earn, there is no satisfaction, and the greed never ends. They are losing out on family, sleep, happiness, love, and friendship while chasing money.

In such times, people like Dr. Neeraj Saxena come as a reminder. In this age, satisfied and selfless people are hard to find.

After he quit the game, a girl took the hot seat and shared her story: "My father threw us out, including my mother, just because we are three daughters. Now, we live in an orphanage..."

I thought, if Neeraj had not quit, being the last day, no one else would have gotten a chance. Because of his sacrifice, this poor girl got an opportunity to earn some money.

In today's world, people are not ready to give up even a single penny from their inheritance. We see fights and even murders over it. Selfishness is rampant. But this example is an exception.

God resides in humans like Neeraj, who think about others and the country. I will never forget this great person in my life. I am happy to have had the chance to write about such a unique personality today.

When your needs are fulfilled, you should stop and give others a chance. Let go of selfishness, and everyone will be happy. This is the lesson I learned. I have always admired such individuals and believe that writing honestly about them is necessary for the betterment of society.

Fibonacci numbers have been known to Indian mathematicians for over two thousand years. They were first introduced to the western world in 1202 by the Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, who later became known as Fibonacci.
