He was actually explaining the Jesus Nut.

AI makes images.
Hands make art.

This took time.
Mistakes.
Corrections.
And a bit of heart.

And that’s exactly why it feels better.

The sailing community in India has been in a state of shock ever since it learnt that Cdr Mahesh Ramachandran, one of the stalwarts of the sport, has been missing at sea following a boating accident off Maldives since Thursday night/ Friday early morning. He was the skipper of the Ashena, a 46 meter luxury yacht belonging to Gautam Singhania.

One can only speculate on how the accident might have occurred, but it is clear that out of the 7 in the speedboat, the 2 missing are Cdr Mahesh and rally driver Hari Singh.

Cdr Mahesh, a renowned dinghy sailing, Arjuna Awardee, winner of multiple national and international titles, has been a towering figure of Indian sailing. The sailing community is holding on to every bit of hope that Cdr Mahesh and Hari Singh are rescued at the earliest.

“The Supreme Court banning Prof Michel Danino and others for their NCERT chapter on judicial corruption, is nothing short of judicial dictatorship.”

Thank you, @priyankac19, for being the voice of a billion Indians. You have said what the govt and its law minister should have.

Simply outstanding!

The Naval Band’s performances included ‘Namaste’, ‘Sagar Pawan’, ‘Matribhumi’, ‘Tejasvi’ and ‘Jai Bharati.’

The Matsya Yantra formation was flawless.

Wow

[The Sacred Scroll @SacredScroll]

They went as Peacekeepers. They returned as Warriors. How a trapped unit of the Indian Army & Air Force executed a textbook tri-service blitzkrieg 10,000 km from home. This is Operation Khukri: The siege that broke the rebels. 🚁⚔️

In the sweltering jungles of Sierra Leone in 2000, the world witnessed a masterclass in grit, honor, and firepower. This wasn't just a rescue mission; it was the Indian Army shattering the myth of an invincible enemy.

The story of how 223 Indian soldiers chose death over surrender-

1. THE SIEGE
-->It was meant to be a UN peacekeeping mission. But the 5/8 Gorkha Rifles found themselves surrounded by the brutal Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels, a militia known for chopping off civilian limbs.
-->For 75 days, 223 Indian soldiers were held hostage in Kailahun. Cut off from supplies. Surrounded by thousands of drug-fueled rebels.

2. THE ULTIMATUM
The RUF demanded that the Indians surrender their weapons to walk free.
Major Rajpal Punia (the Company Commander) delivered a response that should be etched in history:

"We are Indians. We are Gorkhas. We do not surrender our weapons. We will die fighting, but we will not give you our rifles."

The soldiers preserved their honor, surviving on half-rations, preparing for the inevitable fight.

3. THE PLAN: OPERATION KHUKRI
Diplomacy failed. The Indian government decided: If they won't let us out, we will break out. It was a tri-service, multinational blitzkrieg.
The Hammer: Indian Para (SF) dropped behind enemy lines.
The Shield: 18 Grenadiers & Mechanised Infantry pushing through the jungle.
The Sky: Indian Air Force Mi-35 Attack Helicopters and Mi-8s flying 10,000 km from home.

4. THE BREAKOUT (July 15, 2000)
At dawn, the jungle exploded. While the Para SF secured the flanks, Major Punia’s besieged Gorkhas did the unthinkable; they didn't just wait to be rescued.
They launched a fighting breakout. Storming out of their base, they engaged the rebels head-on. The "peacekeepers" unleashed hell, dismantling the rebel blockade mile by mile.

5. THE IAF THUNDER
The weather was atrocious, but the IAF pilots refused to stay grounded. Mi-35 gunships provided devastating close air support, raining fire on RUF positions, clearing the path for the ground columns. It was a rare display of Indian air power on African soil.

6. THE VICTORY
-->In 48 hours, the siege was broken.
-->Indian Hostages Rescued: 223 (100%)
-->RUF Rebels Neutralized: 500+ (estimates vary, but their command structure was shattered)
-->Indian Casualties: 1 Braveheart, Havildar Krishan Kumar.

7. THE LEGACY
Operation Khukri wasn't just a win; it restored the UN's credibility in West Africa. The RUF, previously feared as "invincible ghosts of the jungle," was crushed by the discipline and ferocity of the Indian Army.

You can surround an Indian soldier. You can cut off his food. But you never ask him to surrender his weapon.

Jai Hind. 🇮🇳
