In my 22+ years of cricket watching
This is the least excited i have been for an india game (india series)
Something is off, cricket isn't the same anymore
A joyous moment for every Indian!
Chola Copper Plates dating back to the 11th Century will be repatriated to India from the Netherlands. Took part in the ceremony for the same in the presence of Prime Minister Rob Jetten.
The Chola Copper Plates are a set of 21 large plates and 3 small plates and largely contain texts in Tamil, one of the most beautiful languages of the world. They relate to the great Rajendra Chola I formalising an oral commitment made by his father, King Rajaraja I. They also showcase the greatness of the Cholas. We in India are immensely proud of the Cholas, their culture and their maritime prowess.
I thank the Government of the Netherlands and Leiden University in particular, where the Copper Plates were kept since the mid-19th century.

Major scams that Vijay needs to focus on controlling
1.TASMAC
2.TANGEDCO
3.Sand Mining
4.TNPSC and Govt recruitments
Most Departments have corruption but these are the big ticket ones. Losses to the Govt run into thousands of crores every year from just the first three.
Limited freebies, focus more on development, and ultimately empower people to become self-reliant rather than dependent.
Clean Government is the need of the hour.

🚨 Zoho's Arattai Reached #1 Spot on App Stores
Indian Businesses, both Larger Corporations and MSMEs Should Also Try Zoho's Products Instead of Foreign Software
For example, Zoho's CRM product is a Great Alternative To Salesforce
🚨 A new Indian app is trying to capture Watsapp market.
'Arattai', from Zoho has recorded daily signups from 3,000 to 350,000 in just 3 days.
Will it break the western monopoly and succeed?
Update on our Arattai messenger app:
It is another example of our patient engineering approach at work. We have taken the time because we have to make it work in low end phones, low bandwidth networks (we test down to 8 kilobits/sec), offer outstanding privacy and security, and be very easy to use, all at the same time!
We are diligently updating the app weekly. We are working on a lot of the features you expect and in another month, a lot of that will be done. We are also investing in the infrastructure for scaling. I am personally talking to the engineers daily on all this.
We will launch a big marketing campaign once that is all in place. You will like the campaign!
We are committed to offering the best messaging experience in the world. Stay tuned for more!
