Taiwan is a small island with no oil, no iron mines, and no room to waste. It did not become a military superpower. It became something rarer.

The world cannot build its best phones, computers, and AI machines without Taiwanese chips.

The story did not start with TSMC. It started with a choice. In the 1970s Taiwan still lived on cheap assembly. Leaders like Sun Yun suan decided the next climb had to be harder: integrated circuits.

Critics said Taiwan was too poor and had started too late. The government spent the money anyway.

A state lab, ITRI, paid RCA in America for a real technology transfer. Young engineers were sent to US plants to learn design, process, testing, and equipment.

They came home and built a small demo factory. Within months their yield beat the American plant that had taught them. The first products were humble, like chips for electronic watches. The point was mastery, not glory.

Then they built a cluster. Hsinchu Science Park put labs, factories, universities, and suppliers next to each other.

Taiwanese engineers who had worked in Silicon Valley came home. Knowledge moved fast because people sat close.

The master stroke was Morris Chang. He had spent decades at Texas Instruments. He knew Taiwan was weak in chip design and brand marketing, and strong in making things with care.

So in 1987 he founded TSMC as a factory for others. It would not design its own branded chips. It promised never to compete with its customers.

That promise unlocked the industry. Apple, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and many others could invent chips without building a $20 billion plant. TSMC would make them. Trust became the product.

From there Taiwan did the unglamorous work better than anyone. The factories had to be cleaner than a hospital. More chips on each wafer had to work. The lines drawn on silicon had to be finer every few years. Each new generation was smaller and much harder to make.

The island treated a missed wafer as a national failure. That obsession, plus a dense web of tool makers, packagers, and engineers, is why the most advanced chips still run through Taiwan.

A small country becomes indispensable when it picks one hard thing, learns it legally and thoroughly, and then refuses to be sloppy.

Taiwan won by becoming the factory the world is afraid to lose.

I’m convinced that life will test you with the same challenge until you learn the lesson. The same fight in every relationship. The same burnout in every job. The same regret in every missed chance. Until you do the inner work, the outer world won’t change.

Paracyclist Rakesh Banik, on Thursday, announced a new international cycling expedition from Malaysia to China via Thailand, Laos and Vietnam to promote Assam as a tourism destination.

Rakesh announced the expedition at a press conference held at Dispur Press Club. The expedition, covering around 6,000 km, will be held under the theme ‘Awesome Assam’ and will seek to promote Assam Tourism and Incredible India among international audiences.

During the journey, Rakesh plans to showcase Assam’s natural beauty, wildlife, culture, heritage and hospitality, while promoting adventure, cycling and sustainable tourism.

The expedition is scheduled to begin after Durga Puja and is expected to take around two-and-a-half to three months.

“Last year, my journey from Russia to Guwahati gave me the confidence to take this mission further. This year, I am travelling from Malaysia to China through Thailand, Laos and Vietnam with the message of ‘Awesome Assam’, while continuing to carry the message of Assam Tourism and Incredible India,” Rakesh said.

“As a paracyclist, I also want to show that physical challenges should not limit our dreams. With determination, courage and hardwork, we can cross borders and achieve the extraordinary,” he added.

Rakesh had earlier undertaken the Volga to Brahmaputra cycling expedition, cycling from Russia to Guwahati for more than 9,000 km over nearly four months.

Senior journalist and mountaineer Pranay Bordoloi, who had cycled with Rakesh on some stretches in Russia during the previous expedition, was present at the press conference. Bordoloi wished Banik success and appealed to the government to extend support to the expedition.

The upcoming expedition will also seek to strengthen people-to-people connections through cycling across the countries on the route.

One of the hardest lessons from Bhagavad Gita is also one of the hardest things to practise:

You can control your effort, but not the outcome.

You can love someone sincerely, but not control how they love you back.

You can do your best at work, but not control how others perceive it.

We spend so much energy trying to control the result that we forget to give our best to the part that actually belongs to us.

Assam’s iconic Gamosa design has found a place on Air India’s new cabin crew uniforms, showcasing the state’s rich cultural heritage.

Introduced from September 1, the new uniforms celebrate India’s cultural diversity by incorporating traditional textiles and designs from five states, blending heritage with modernity.

The inclusion of the Gamosa design marks a proud moment for Assam, taking the state’s cultural identity to the skies.

Accountability at every level is essential to make #EaseOfGovernance a reality for our people.

That is why we have put in place a system that fixes responsibility for the timely clearance of pension files and penalises undue delays.

मर्दों की जिंदगी भी कितनी कठिन होती है💔

ये लड़का घर से दूर मजदूरी करने आया था। काम करते-करते जब उसे भूख लगी तो वह बैठकर खाना खाने लगा। तभी जब मालिक को अपनी तरफ आते देखा तो डरकर अपना खाना छुपा लिया।

मालिक ने जब खाना दिखाने को कहा, तो सामने सिर्फ प्याज और सुखी रोटी थी।

मर्द की जिंदगी भी अजीब होती है… पेट की भूख भी छुपानी पड़ती है और मजबूरी भी।
