Nothing sums up modern India better than this.
You follow every rule and wait your turn, while someone cuts the line, skips the system, and wins without a single consequence.
One man.
25 transfers.
21 years.
Still standing.
Every time Tukaram Munde takes charge, the same question is asked:
"How long before he's transferred again?"
Maybe that's because honest officers often make too many powerful people uncomfortable.
Since becoming Maharashtra's FDA Commissioner, the department has suddenly come alive. Raids are no longer symbolic they're relentless.
🚨 Synthetic milk rackets exposed.
🚨 Banned gutkha networks busted.
🚨 Adulterated food seized.
🚨 Unlicensed manufacturers stopped.
🚨 Restaurants & food businesses violating basic hygiene norms facing action.
🚨 Crores worth of illegal products seized, hundreds of raids conducted, and hundreds arrested in statewide enforcement drives.
What's remarkable isn't just the number of raids.
It's the change in mindset.
For the first time in a long time, businesses cutting corners are worried that the FDA might actually show up.
That's what real governance looks like not loud speeches, but visible enforcement.
You may agree or disagree with Tukaram Munde's style.
But it's hard to ignore the impact of an officer who has been transferred around 25 times in 21 years and still chooses duty over convenience.
Maharashtra doesn't need more headlines.
It needs more officers who make the law matter.
🇮🇳 He deserves to be head of FSSAI
Because whole India deserve good food
Respect. We get honest officers once in century
Filed my ITR today.
Paid income tax more than my fresher year CTC.
In return, now I'll have to struggle to get my own PF money back. Can't send my future kids to government school because we all know the condition. Can't depend on a government hospital if I want good treatment. To drive on good roads, still have to pay toll. Have to buy an air purifier and water purifier because air and water around me are polluted.
Feels very unrewarding to be a taxpayer. There should be some reward for people who pay a good chunk of their income in taxes every year.
Corporation: “We made ₹4,000 crore but spent ₹3,900 crore, so we pay Income Tax on ₹100 crore.”
Government: “Approved.”
Me: “I made ₹18 lakh but spent ₹17.5 lakh on survival, so I should pay Income Tax on ₹50,000.”
Income Tax Department: “Nice try. File your ITR by July 31.”
Me: “Wait, what?” 🤔

My dad went to IGI Airport Terminal 3 recently.
He needed a buggy because he is a senior citizen, but almost all of them were reserved for VIPs and politicians.
Modi ji talks about ending VIP culture, but at airports it still exists.
Few thousand politicians and VIPs get priority, while ordinary passengers, senior citizens, and people with disabilities have to walk long distances. Irony is most of these VIPs are young and healthy, while those who need the service can't get it.
GMR and Adani manage India's biggest airports. Passengers already pay airport taxes and user development fees with every ticket.
If senior citizens still have to walk hundreds of meters because buggies are reserved, what's the point?
Accessibility should be a basic service, not a political privilege.
Karnataka: Daughter of the KPSC Chairman got selected after declaring family’s annual income as ₹40K while her father, the Chairman himself, earns ₹2.17 L a month!
Justice Nagaprasanna tears apart the defence’s arguments!
One of the finest judges Karnataka has ever had! 🔥
The thread: a shooter's gaze, an agent's control loop, a single if-then sentence. Different domains, same principle — the best performers decide before the pressure hits. What's one "if-then" you could set up for tomorrow?
Your brain performs best when it doesn't have to think in the moment. Elite athletes, sharp AI systems, and disciplined people share one secret: design the decision BEFORE you need it. Here's how it shows up in sport, tech, and daily life 🧵
Want to actually hit a goal? Skip "I'll exercise more." Try: "If it's 7am, then I put on my running shoes." Psychologist Peter Gollwitzer's if-then planning research shows this simple format meaningfully boosts follow-through vs. vague intentions. Save this format.
The pattern: solar, AI agents, your to-do list. None of them improved by force. All of them improved by looping experience back into the system.
What's one constraint you could tighten today to get a better result?
Guess which energy source became the single biggest driver of new power on Earth in 2025.
Not nuclear. Not gas. Solar.
A 3-part thread on feedback loops — in energy, AI, and your own day: 🧵
Same principle applies to you. Parkinson's Law: work expands to fill the time you give it. Give a task less time than it "deserves" today and watch it still get done. Tightening one constraint is often faster than trying harder.
Anand Ranganathan explains the math behind his reservation stance 🚨
RJ Raunak: Anand sir, you criticize the current reservation system. But don't marginalized communities genuinely need it?
Anand Ranganathan: I fully support reservation, Raunak. But I believe it should be given only once per family.
RJ Raunak: Just once? Why restrict it like that?
Anand Ranganathan: Because quota seats are finite. Right now, if a wealthy family uses the quota for three generations grandfather, father, and son they consume three seats. As a result, three truly poor families from that exact same community get absolutely zero.
RJ Raunak: So you are saying the current system allows a few privileged families to hoard the benefits?
Anand Ranganathan: Exactly. Limiting it to one generation ensures the benefits stop looping at the top and finally reach the poorest people who actually need them.
Anand Ranganathan just dismantled a 70 year old system using logic math, and you can't even argue against it.🙏
