IFS is used by both Indian Forest Service and Indian Foreign Service, and their tussle over the abbreviation is quite amusing. In 2016, MEA wrote to DOPT that Indian Foreign Service was created in 1946, whereas Indian Forest Service came into being in 1966, so they should have the sole claim over IFS and Forest Service should instead use IFOS.
In response, MoEFCC said that the very nomenclature Indian Foreign Service sounds unconvincing: how can a service be both 'Indian' and 'Foreign' at the same time? it appears incomplete and alien, and proposed that it be renamed "Indian Diplomatic Service (IDS)" or "Indian External Affairs Service (IEAS)."
They further pointed that Imperial Forest Service (IFS) was established in 1866 and later revived as the Indian Forest Service in 1966, therefore, they have the earlier claim over IFS.
Hilarious.

Kamsundari Devi, the last Maharani of the Darbhanga (in Bihar) royal family, died on Monday, January 12. Her death has brought attention to one of India's wealthiest former princely estates,

Her estate's assets in 1962, valued at around Rs 2,000 crore, would amount to nearly Rs 4 lakh crore at current market prices.

The Darbhanga estate played a major role in education and industrial development of India. Lalit Narayan Mithila University is located within the royal complex, while institutions such as Banaras Hindu University, Calcutta University, Aligarh Muslim University and Patna University received substantial grants from the family. Darbhanga Medical College is also among its contributions.

One of the most widely cited acts of public service by the Darbhanga royals dates back to the 1962 India-China war. When the government sought help, the family donated 15 maunds, around 600 kg, of gold. In addition, the royal family donated three aircraft and 90 acres of land for the development of an airport.

Mount Everest from Bihar 🏔️

How could I miss this truly Eureka moment of Everest, Lhotse and surrounding ranges from the Bihar! First clear views I've seen from here.

This is what the Great Trigonometric Survey of India would've witnessed on a regular basis in the 19th century.

I was laid off in 2012 for the first time ever in my career.

I was quite social at workplace, used to hang out with colleagues, have drinks, dinner with em. I felt I had a good network out there.

After I got laid off, not one of em bothered to contact me. None helped out in giving leads that would have helped in job search. None even bothered to check whether I was dead or alive.

Don't take workplace friendships seriously, it's everyone to their own. Just do your work go home.

It was a lesson learnt the hard way.

This is for some Indians and Chinese: Whenever you travel, please be considerate and mindful of others.

Stop standing in the middle of walkways and in front of escalators doing group chat if you meet someone you know. Step aside and talk. Leave way for others.

Talk softly and not loudly. It doesn't matter it is a public place and you don't care about your privacy. Nobody wants to hear your talk.

Similarly, play music or drama on your phone only if you have an ear phone. Don't sit in metros, buses, planes with full volume on your phones watching your videos.

At buffets, behave yourself. Don't put your hand into food. Use the cutlery. Don't put back food from your plate. Don't stuff your plates taking all, if you like a dish. Don't jump over others taking food.

Be polite with service staff and everyone you meet. Don't talk like you are the boss and behave like you own the place. It looks obnoxious and makes you look like clowns.

Reign in your kids. Your kids may be your treasure and you may tolerate all that they do. Others do not need to tolerate rowdy, monkey like behavior. Stop them from climbing on chairs and seats. Ask them to sit and eat.

Many nationalities when travelling also display obnoxious behavior like being loud, putting their legs on seats, and not being considerate of others.

But I am saying Indians and Chinese specifically as they are a very large number of travellers and many among them display these behaviors.

China is using its tourist agencies and internal propaganda to change the behavior of chinese tourists. It is high time India's MEA hands over Indian tourists exiting India some basic book on courtesy and manners to ensure they don't go out and en-masse misbehave to affect India's soft power.

a hardest pill to swallow is that people will hurt you. dehumanize you in so many ways and not feel badly about it. they won’t feel a thing actually. they’ll move on with their day, their week, their life, happy as ever but there you are, crushed. loss of appetite. loss of sleep.

Odisha ranks among the top 10 states in the country in terms of the total number of rape cases reported annually... but this guy will never call out them.

- Odisha consistently in the bottom five among all major states in sub national HDI rankings.

- One of the worst ranked in Multidimensional Poverty Index

- Has the highest poverty rate among tribals, an alarming 63%

- 5th from the bottom in the Social Progress Index

- Lowest scores nationally for water and sanitation

- Worst in malnutrition. High rates of stunting & wasting

- 3rd worst state in India for access to clean cooking fuel and cleanliness standards

- Worst rural infrastructure

- 2nd-worst governed large state after UP (as per Public Affairs Index)

- Sharp regional development gaps... with many districts far worse off in terms of almost all indicators

Half of the Odias look like descendants of a forgotten tribe from Africa but this guy’s out here flexing like he’s royalty... Mocks others like he’s above it all... Will never call out the mess in his own backyard.
