Sustaining hope for India in various aspects, may it be in cricket, economy, defence, scientific development, infrastructure, leadership, societal change or Olympics, is not for the faint-hearted. Every alternate day can be a blackpill or whitepill.

The only way this stupidity could be restrained is if the Army officer who changed the requirements is made to have 55 kg weight while being able to run a marathon at Hanle, and also being able to resist penetration by a 9mm bullet. If they fail in any of these, court martial

[Tsukuyomi (EMALSpaglu) @Tsukuyomi2170]

What is this stupidity
Zorawar weighs 25 tons and has a STANAG 4 Frontal and STANAG 2 side protection.

However now Army wants a tank with only 25 tons to have STANAG 6 level of frontal armour without increasing the weight that too for mere order of 25 tons

Army will keep demanding these WunderWaffe requirements from Indian vendors while importing Irsaeli products with barebones capability fulfillment

@manishariprasad @IndiAves @Britnatureguide Super!

[Manish Hariprasad @manishariprasad]

Lifer no 12, yes.
The Violet Cuckoo. One of the rarities from this trip.
The only bird from India with Violet in the name.
Observed it for almost an hour flitting between low canopy greens and open leafless trees.

Oh, And that little ant!

@kushanmitra It won't. The English are too castrated to do anything about it. They'll punish the protestors instead

Even before the case, we must challenge the sheer audacity of a White woman in the US telling the Indian Ministry of Culture that she knows what Indian culture better than them is staggering. Can any Indian ever get away directing something like this towards America? This happens

[Chandrashekhar Dhage @cbdhage]

They are robbing the nation in broad daylight in every possible way. Imagine if every sector is in this same condition—no wonder our roads aren't clean. Having 10,000 workers on paper is a huge number. But if only 4,000 show up, the final tally of people genuinely working full-time is probably closer to just 1,000 to 1,500. Parties come and go, but the system always remains the same.

@manishariprasad Beautiful!

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Russian forces attempted to shoot down a real stork with an FPV interceptor drone on the southern front.

The stork narrowly escaped by entering a sharp spin at the last moment to evade the attack.

Pakis, I swear.

@1pterson Risk is very rare. Risk is everywhere. Will you stop driving a bike because there is a risk of accident?

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

You will appreciate what life has to offer much better if you ever made a 36+ hr journey in 2nd class sleeper across India in peak summers.

If by any chance you fall asleep, the seat sticks to your skin. You are forever short of water, the window is like a 21 inch hair dryer. You wish to splash your face with water for some respite, the water in the sink is boiling. The only respite is the guys moving around with buckets with icy water, with an assortment of cold drink bottle submerged in it, sold at the rate of an arm & a leg. You settle for a chilled Frooti. It tastes so godly that you write about it on Twitter 20 years later :)

'Your Weather App Can't Predict Rain Because It Was Never Built For India'

https://t.co/LGOGrFqd5C

Most 'weather apps' use foreign weather models and don't utilize IMD models (which are very good for our conditions)

Some good work by Pune technologist @AbhijitVaidya in trying to address this...

A River Tern from #Pune. Since this year has been low on birding in general and photography in particular, I'm posting stuff from the archives

Romila Thapar’s false claim for 30+ years

For more than thirty years, eminent historian Romila Thapar has claimed that Patañjali compared the relationship or conflict between the Brahmanas and the Shramanas to that between the snake and the mongoose.

The claim is completely false. Watch to know more.

[Chinmay @crahane09]

@unraveaero Been there. Decent food and good owners

[Chinmay @crahane09]

@Firezstarter1 @F15sRdaBest @metal00008 Power will always be an issue. Also decision will be delayed since that will never be real time.
