Promised to myself that I will do 100 little things to help traffic/safety. Things that I can do without need for help or permission. Lets see how far I can go. (0/n)

It's a shame no major film has been made about Biju Patnaik. He lived a life that sounds almost fictional:

In 1938, he flew his entire wedding procession by aircraft to Rawalpindi for his marriage to Gyanwati Sethi (who became the first Indian woman to hold a commercial pilot’s license, and the couple later flew daring missions together.)

While serving in the Royal Indian Air Force (including as head of Air Transport Command), he secretly ferried freedom fighters like Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, and Aruna Asaf Ali to their hideouts. He also airdropped 'Quit India' leaflets to Indian troops while evacuating British families.

The British once jailed him for transporting nationalist leaders and distributing anti-British literature but also honored him for bravery in evacuating civilians from Japanese-occupied Burma.

During WWII, he flew daring missions delivering arms and supplies to Soviet forces in Stalingrad, and over the treacherous 'Hump' route to China in
support of Chinese Nationalist forces against the Japanese.

In July 1947, he and his wife flew a Dakota into Indonesia, landed on an improvised airstrip while evading Dutch anti-aircraft fire, rescued Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir, refuelled using abandoned Japanese fuel, and flew him safely to India via Singapore.

A couple of months later, during the Pakistani invasion of Kashmir, he airlifted one of the first Indian troops into Srinagar.

The same year he founded Kalinga Airlines, one of India's earliest private airlines.

As Odisha CM post-1962 India-China war, he secretly visited CIA headquarters at Langley to forge a covert India-US partnership against China, which led to the Aviation Research Centre (ARC) at Charbatia, which supported U-2 recon missions over Tibet.

He was also a legendary administrator and statesman, laying much of the foundation of Odisha's industrial empire (mines, ports, heavy industries etc).

When he passed away, Indonesia observed 7 days of state mourning. Russia observed 1 day. He remains the only person in Indian history whose body was draped in the national flags of 3 nations - India, Indonesia, and Russia.

Few public figures have left such a footprint.

His extraordinary life needs to be brought to the big screen.

పెళ్లి కానోళ్ళు పెళ్లి చేసుకోండి,
పెళ్లి చేసుకున్నోళ్లు పిల్లల్ని కనండి,
మీ పెనిమిటి, పెళ్ళాం, పిల్లల్ని ప్రేమించండి.
జీవితం బాగుంటుంది.

@manachittooru The road is literally empty throughout. My guess - Google tracks all vehicles and averages the speeds. There are stationary/slow moving tractors and lorries which must be showing up as yellow. As traffic improves and patch works come down, this stretch should be uniformly green.

@manachittooru They actually taught in this schools as teachers?

@BalajiS83715534 @manachittooru @NHAI_Official @rovijayawada you have to exit at baireddipalle. and then take the road to palamaner. from there its the normal route via chittoor.

[Anvesh @decentgrad]

@manachittooru @NHAI_Official @rovijayawada Sorry, I meant exited at Sundrapalya toll and drove towards VKota for about 2 kms before taking the cut and joining BCE.

[Anvesh @decentgrad]

@manachittooru @NHAI_Official @rovijayawada I travelled in this section yesterday. I got down at the Vkota toll, drove on the road to Baireddipalle and joined BCE a bit after. I am attaching the point where you can rejoin BCE. Some final works like painting are still going on. https://t.co/49lfrHOmje

[Socratic Experience @socraticexp]

We routinely do things to students that we would never tolerate from another adult. If someone walks up to you at a party and starts lecturing you about bitcoin or the history of Venice or anything at all without asking what you think, your eyes start looking around the room. Who else can I talk to? How do I escape this person?

We would never accept that socially from a peer. We'd think they were rude and boorish. But we do it to children every day for thirteen years and call it education. The standards are completely different, and nobody questions it.

Autism being an umbrella condition, there really are subsets of kids who respond to specific medications. You have to wade through a lot of quackery first and unfortunately even my friends from IIT do not bother to read the medical literature.

[Bhooshan Shukla @docbhooshan]

Everyday.
Parents of autistic kids.
Falling prey to scams masquerading as "treatment"

No.
It is not lack of information.

It is inability to understand what "evidence of effectiveness" really means in healthcare.

And

Emotional difficulties due to having a disabled child.

No matter what is ephemised as "differently abled" and "दिव्यांग". Parents know what it is. They live through it everyday.

Serious advice: Tell ChatGPT your emotional problems and ask for advice. It is mind blowing good.

Almost 2,000 years in age, the Roman aqueduct located in Zaghouan, Tunisia 🇹🇳, an example of ancient engineering. Spanning 132km, this aqueduct supplied water to Carthage, a city that was once Romes greatest rival.

The Roman aqueduct of Zaghouan, located in modern-day Tunisia, is one of the most remarkable feats of Roman engineering in North Africa. Built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian in 2nd Century AD, it was constructed to supply fresh water from the springs at Zaghouan to the city of Carthage, which had grown into one of the most important urban centers of the Roman Empire.

Stretching an impressive 132km, the aqueduct is among the longest built by the Romans. It carried water through valleys and across open plains, using a combination of underground channels, bridges, and towering arches like the ones still visible today. This system provided a steady supply of clean water for Carthage’s population, supporting not only everyday life but also public baths, fountains, and agricultural estates.

The aqueduct highlights the sophistication of Roman hydraulic engineering. Its slight, precise gradient ensured that water could flow smoothly across great distances without modern pumps. Even after centuries of decline, parts of the structure remain standing, a testament to Roman craftsmanship. Today, the ruins serve as both an archaeological treasure and a reminder of how Rome’s infrastructure helped sustain its vast empire.
