Some of you never had dependents on your income or family debts and it shows. It’s almost like you and people around you are so privileged that you are unaware of the reality of a large population.
Do what makes most sense for you.

This Independence Day 🇮🇳, I asked, "What will the next century of young Indians look like?"
$0.01 Drone Deliveries. UAVs that never land. Groceries in under 10 minutes.
Meet The 22nd Century Indian. A Documentary on a New India.
When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
With grave concern, I bring to the attention of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @MohanMOdisha ji about the recent passage of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2026 by Parliament. This legislation poses a serious threat to #Odisha's fiscal autonomy and constitutional rights over its natural resources.
The provisions introduced in this Bill will disproportionately impact mineral-rich states like Odisha, leading to massive revenue losses and stifling our state's developmental agenda. The Amendment raises critical concerns through the provisions: Encroachment of State Land and Fiscal Jurisdiction, Restriction on State Revenue Powers and Delegation of Power to the Centre.
Odisha's natural wealth belongs to her people, and the revenue generated from mining operations is crucial for financing healthcare, education, social welfare schemes, and infrastructure development across the state. By stripping the state of its power to impose taxes and cesses on its own mineral-bearing lands, the Union Government has dealt a heavy blow to federalism and state revenue autonomy.
Given the gravity of this situation and its long-term adverse implications for Odisha's economy, I strongly urge Shri Majhi to convene an All-Party Meeting immediately to build a unified consensus on safeguarding Odisha's federal rights and mineral revenues. Urge you to summon a Special Session of the Odisha Legislative Assembly to formally pass a unanimous Resolution opposing this Amendment Act and protesting the Union Government's usurpation of state powers.
Fiscal autonomy is a constitutional principle built into our federal system. This Bill directly undermines a critical pillar of the Centre-State relationship, taking India's federal structure in a distinctly retrogressive direction and striking at the foundation of cooperative federalism.
This issue transcends political affiliations, as it directly impacts the financial stability and future growth of Odisha. If the Central Government takes away the State's authority over mineral-bearing lands and its right to levy cesses, only pollution, displacement and burden of mining will remain with Odisha, while the benefits are taken away from its people. I hope you will act swiftly in the paramount interest of the people of Odisha.
Last year, I paid around 2000 rs for a 750ml bottle of ballantine’s using Rupay UPI Credit card mode.
Just as I was about to leave, the shopkeeper stopped me and made me pay another 40, saying I had to bear the credit card charges.
Turns out, I was the merchant all along.
He brought class & intellect to the table while dealing with global leaders and tackle economy.
Not afraid of random press conferences anywhere. Never spent a penny on his PR.
If such a leader was in full majority, we actually would have progressed a lot. That time had flaws but it was a good period and people had hopes.
You pay tax when you earn your money. You pay stamp duty and registration charges when you spend that already-taxed money on property. Then the bank charges you for transferring the money if you use UPI. And if you withdraw your own money from an ATM beyond the free limit, you are charged for accessing it. By the time you're done, everyone seems to have made money from your money except you.
The Odisha government appears to be run by a group of clueless people, and as a result, ordinary citizens are suffering hell in their everyday lives. Odisha was once known for its effective disaster management until 2024; today that reputation has collapsed. The handling of relief during the current floods has exposed the hollowness of the Majhi government. It feels as though there is neither a government nor any real governance in Odisha.
