China absolutely dominates the market.

By 2025, China’s installed solar capacity is more than double the USA + India + Germany + Japan combined. China completely dominates global solar power deployment.

There have been discussions recently about courts taking U-turns from some of their old decisions. It reminded me of an interesting incident.

An old investigation had reached a dead end after years of effort. My predecessor had proposed closure of the case. The proposal had moved through channels, been agreed to at senior levels, and was awaiting a final decision from headquarters.

HQ later sent the file back asking for some documents. By then, I had just taken charge. My role was only to send the required papers.

But being new to the unit, I read the entire file carefully over several days. Most of the earlier conclusions were reasonable. Yet I felt a few important leads still remained unexplored. While sending the documents, I suggested that these possibilities should first be exhausted before the investigation was closed.

The file then went back to my immediate senior, who had earlier supported the closure proposal.

What happened next left a deep impression on me.

He could easily have defended his earlier view. Most people would have. Instead, in his note, he admitted that some aspects had been missed earlier, appreciated the fresh observations, and supported my opinion.

In government systems, where changing a stand is often seen as weakness, it takes courage to say: “I missed something earlier, and my earlier opinion may not have been entirely correct.”

Every U-turn is not bad. Some U-turns reflect honesty. Some reflect humility. Some show that we humans are prone to mistakes, capable of learning, and willing to improve.

The results of the recent state elections have been dramatic by any measure.

But for me, this image will remain the most unforgettable outcome of the elections.

More than 166,000 votes were cast between the two leading candidates in this constituency in Tamil Nadu.

And history was changed by just one vote.

This image should be shown in every school in the country & perhaps around the world.

So that every child understands that when they grow up, the greatest power they may possess is the Power of One.

The power of their one vote.

Late Shri Manohar Parrikar Ji once narrated his ordeal.

"I'm from Parra, a village in Goa, so we're called 'Parrikars.' My village is famous for its watermelons. When I was a child, the farmers there held a 'Watermelon Eating Contest' in May, after the harvest. All the children were invited and asked to eat as many watermelons as they wanted.

Many years later, I went to IIT Mumbai to study engineering. Then I returned to my village after 6.5 years. I went to the market to look for watermelons. But they were gone. The ones I found were very small.

I went to meet the farmer who used to hold the 'Watermelon Eating Contest.' Now his son had taken his place. He still held the contest, but there was a difference. When the old farmer offered us watermelons to eat, he would ask us to spit the seeds into a bowl. We were forbidden to chew the seeds. He was collecting seeds for the next crop.

We were, in effect, unpaid child laborers.

He would keep his best watermelons for the competition, using them as the best. He obtained good seeds, which produced even bigger watermelons the next year. When his son arrived, he thought the larger ones would fetch a higher price in the market, so he started selling the larger ones and keeping the smaller ones for competition. The next year, the watermelons grew smaller, and the next even smaller. A watermelon generation lasts one year.

In seven years, Parra's best watermelons were wiped out. In humans, a generation changes every 25 years. In 200 years, we will realize the mistakes we were making in educating our children.

Selecting good seeds, that is, talent, is a huge task in itself. Due to irrelevant ideas and useless things, our good watermelons will go to market, leaving us with useless, inferior seeds.

We must think about this in today's context.

Apparently, this is one of the earliest known photographs of the sacred Kedarnath Dham, taken in 1882.

Couldn’t take my eyes off it.

No roads. No railheads. No helicopters.

Just the abode of Lord Shiva, cradled by the Himalayas

Back then, the yatra demanded time, endurance, & faith. The journey wasn’t incidental; it WAS the pilgrimage.

Today, access is easier. And that’s a good thing because it opens the experience to many more.

But perhaps something still needs preserving?

The ability to slow down & savour the experience of traveling.

Because journeys are about who we become along the way.
