Thank you for making the case for a stronger FCRA regime. This, right here, is the real #DeepState.

Amazing that instead of East Asia, AMD wanted to Make India its Semiconductor Manufacturing Hub and was investing 3 Billion$ in a Fab in India back in 2005 but it all fell apart just because,

When their Equipment came it got stuck at customs and wasn’t cleared leading to return!

@itsmandybhatia @volklub @nitin_gadkari Agree with govts madness in pushing e20 and lack of choice but a e10 compatible car should comfortably work with e20 without any noticeable issues long term.

[Deepak @deepakbhatp]

@volklub While reduced mileage without corresponding drop in price, lack of choice for a customer is a valid concern, vehicle health being affected especially for newer vehicles I think is fear mongering 😅

[Deepak @deepakbhatp]

@volklub @volklub paji, the analogy is slightly invalid. Almost all cars on road today run on closed loop engine management & should be able to adjust to e20. About double dosage, technically air fuel ratio for e10 and 20 varies only by 3-4%..3 4% higher dose medicine wouldn't kill me.

I taught JEE physics for years. That paper breaks strong kids in three hours.

This exam is five hours of theory and five hours of lab work, and these five did close to perfect scores on it.

Let me tell you what actually happened.

The International Physics Olympiad is the world championship of school physics. It was the 56th edition. Held in Bucaramanga, Colombia, from July 5 to 12.

381 students. More than 85 countries. Every one of them the best physics student their country could find.

India sent five kids.

All five came back with gold.

Their names are Kanishk Jain from Pune. Riddhesh Anant Bendale from Indore. Rishit Garg from Dwarka in Delhi. Shresth Suraiya from Mumbai. Svarit Joshi from Ahmedabad.

We know a hundred cricketers by their nickname and not one of these boys. :)

That clean sweep put India at joint World Number One. Tied with China, Russia, Kazakhstan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Those are countries that pour serious money and national pride into science education. We are standing level with them.

Now here is what the exam actually was.

Two papers. Each five hours long.

The theory paper had three problems. One on the thermodynamics of paramagnetic cooling. One on the photoionisation of ozone. One on the dynamics of electron positron pairs.

The experimental paper was another five hours in a lab, working through heat transfer and thermodynamic processes in fluids.

That means you get given equipment you have never seen, and you have to design your own experiment, take your own readings, handle the errors, and reach a real answer.

Not multiple choice. No shortcuts. No pattern recognition. You either understand physics or you sit there for five hours.

HBCSE says the Indian students were near perfect on theory and excellent on the practical too.

Now, this was India's 27th appearance at the IPhO.

Across all those years, about 44 percent of Indian students have won gold, 41 percent silver, 10 percent bronze.

In the last ten years, every single Indian student has come home with a medal. 62 percent gold, 38 percent silver.

Not one kid has gone and come back empty handed in a decade.

Five golds in one year has happened only twice. This year, and in 2018.

So who built this.

The programme is run by HBCSE, the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education. It sits under TIFR, which sits under the Department of Atomic Energy.

They run the whole funnel. A national exam, then a national olympiad, then a brutal selection and training camp, and out of everyone in the country, five kids get on a plane.

The team was led by Professor Anwesh Mazumdar of HBCSE-TIFR and Dr Leena Joshi from St Xavier's College, Mumbai.

The scientific observers were Professor Ananda Dasgupta from IISER Kolkata and Nisha Kelkar from Gogate-Joglekar College in Ratnagiri.

Yes. Ratnagiri. A college in a small coastal town in Maharashtra.

This is public education doing something the private coaching industry could never do on its own.

The coaching industry is very good at one thing. Teaching you to solve a known problem fast.

That is what JEE and NEET reward, and I say that with love because I was part of that world.

But an olympiad paper does not have a known type. There is no shortcut chapter. There is no formula sheet that saves you. You have to sit with a problem you have never seen and think.

That is a completely different muscle. And a government funded centre has been quietly building it in Indian teenagers for 27 years.

So yes, be proud. Loudly.

HBCSE also shared that around 64 percent of India's olympiad medallists go on to do a PhD.

But only about 32 percent of medallists end up settling in India.

I do not say that to spoil the moment. These kids owe the country nothing. They earned every option they have.

But it should tell us something. We are excellent at finding this talent. We are excellent at training it. We are still not great at giving it somewhere worth staying.

Congratulations Kanishk, Riddhesh, Rishit, Shresth and Svarit. This is one of the best things an Indian did this year and most of the country will never hear about it.

Success of Bengaluru’s footpath clearance campaign will be measured not by the kilometres cleared, but by the kilometres that remain walkable in the long-run. Sustained enforcement must become a permanent mechanism to prevent re-encroachment and build a truly walkable city.

[Krishna Byre Gowda @krishnabgowda]

🚶 BENGALURU'S FOOTPATHS ARE GETTING THEIR SPACE BACK

From July 1–10, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is running a 'Safe Footpath Campaign' across 1,000 km of road network — clearing encroachments from footpaths in all five city corporations.

📊 WHY THIS MATTERS

30% of every 1,000 road accident deaths in Bengaluru are pedestrians. The Supreme Court has been clear: walking on a footpath safely is a fundamental right, not a privilege.

🚫 WHAT'S BEING CLEARED
➡Illegal parking on footpaths (vehicles will be towed)
➡Name boards, chairs, tables, and kiosks blocking pedestrian paths
➡Vendors and shops spilling onto walkways

✅ HOW IT'S BEING DONE
➡Notices will be issued before any action — not a sudden crackdown
➡Action will follow the Street Vendors' Protection Act and SC guidelines
➡Municipal officers, police, and clearance teams will coordinate
➡Damaged slabs and kerbs will be repaired alongside clearance

It follows the #1KmChallenge encouraging people to walk short distances instead of driving — Bengaluru is trying to become more walkable, one footpath at a time.

🗣️ WE NEED YOUR EYES ON THE GROUND

Let's make Bengaluru's footpaths walkable again — together.

Date: 10/06/2026
Time: Approximately 09:29 PM
Location: Kodigehalli Gate, Airport Road U-Turn, Dasarahalli Road Starting Point, Bengaluru

On the evening of 10 June 2026, light rainfall resulted in severe traffic congestion in and around Kodigehalli Gate. Long queues of vehicles had formed on the Main Road, Service Road, and extended up to Byatarayanapura Signal.

As a Traffic Warden and volunteer, I was assisting the Traffic Police and Home Guard personnel in managing and clearing traffic while wearing a reflective jacket. I was stationed at the U-Turn point, while a Home Guard was regulating traffic on the Service Road. We were working in coordination to reduce congestion and maintain smooth traffic movement.

At approximately 09:25 PM, a white Innova vehicle attempted to enter the Service Road by taking a U-Turn and proceeding in the wrong direction. The Home Guard on duty stopped the driver and instructed him not to proceed, but he refused to comply. An argument continued for nearly five minutes.

I then approached the driver and explained that there was heavy traffic congestion ahead and advised him to use an alternative route. However, he refused to follow my instructions and insisted on driving on the wrong side, claiming that he needed to enter his company premises located approximately 100 meters ahead.

The situation became more serious when the driver allegedly attempted to drive his vehicle toward me on three separate occasions. I immediately called 112 and informed the Control Room about the incident. During the confrontation, the driver challenged me by stating, “No one can do anything to me.”

I subsequently informed the Inspector of Hebbal Traffic Police Station about the incident. Acting promptly, he directed the traffic staff deployed at Kodigehalli Signal to respond to the scene. Both parties were then taken to the police station.

However, upon reaching the police station, the outcome left me disappointed. After hearing both sides, the driver was issued a fine of only ₹500 and was allowed to leave.

Several important questions still remain:

• Attempting to drive on the wrong side of the road.
• Obstructing traffic and contributing to congestion for nearly 30 minutes.
• Ignoring instructions issued by personnel managing traffic.
• Allegedly attempting to intimidate and drive a vehicle toward a person.
• Displaying threatening and aggressive behavior.

Are all of these actions serious enough to warrant only a ₹500 fine?

I was also informed that the matter was treated lightly because the driver had not misbehaved with a Traffic Police Officer. If that is indeed the reasoning, it raises a serious concern: Are the safety, dignity, and contributions of Traffic Wardens and volunteers considered less important?

I am not writing this post against any individual. Rather, I am raising a broader question. If a person intentionally attempts to drive a vehicle toward a citizen, volunteer, or Traffic Warden, should such conduct not be treated more seriously?

For many years, I have voluntarily assisted the Traffic Police and have always remained committed to serving the public interest. My only objective is to ensure that in the future, any volunteer, Traffic Warden, or ordinary citizen facing a similar situation receives appropriate protection, respect, and justice.

This incident also highlights another important concern. We often see that many people hesitate to help accident victims or assist during emergencies. One of the primary reasons is the belief that even after helping, their concerns may not be taken seriously, they may not receive adequate support, or they may become entangled in unnecessary complications. As a result, many people prefer to stay away from such situations.

Zoho keeps doing things the rest of Indian tech has decided are impossible.

They just built its own computer server, but the way they did it is so fascinating.

First, let's understand what a server is. It is the big computer sitting in a data centre that runs your apps. Every time you use Gmail or WhatsApp, a server somewhere does the work.

Almost every server running in India is designed by foreign companies. Indian firms just buy them.

Zoho decided to design its own. And I cannot stop thinking about how they went about it.

They set up the project in Nagpur.

Now, Nagpur had no experienced hardware engineers at all. So Zoho did not hire experts from Dell or HPE. They started a training programme called SETU, hired freshers straight out of engineering colleges, and gave them one hard problem to work on for five years.

Think about that. Every big IT company in India complains that freshers are unemployable.

Zoho took those same freshers, in a smaller city, and got a working server out of them. They have filed more than five patents on the designs, and the key parts were designed fully in-house and put together by Indian manufacturing partners.

So the talent has always been there. A company patient enough to train people was the missing piece.

But why build your own server at all?

Zoho runs all its apps on its own machines. Until now, every server they bought from a foreign company included that company's profit and licence fees.

By designing their own, they get the same performance while using 12 to 18% less electricity, and the total cost of owning each machine drops by 20 to 30%.

With a few hundred servers, that saving is small. But Zoho plans to move all its apps worldwide onto these machines.

Also there is an AI angle. Running AI is expensive because AI needs huge computing power. Zoho's plan is to run smaller, focused AI models on its own servers in its own data centres, to manage costs.

Most companies rent computing power from Amazon or Google but Zoho is attacking the bill at the machine level.

The timing is important too.

In 2023, the Indian government put restrictions on importing hardware like servers. Zoho had already started its server team in Nagpur back in 2020.

Three years before the government rule arrived, Zoho was preparing for a world where India cannot simply import its computers.

So, they moved on their own belief.

The best part is that the design is fully owned in India, Zoho does not depend on any foreign company for security checks, software updates, or licences.

If some country imposes sanctions or a licensing fight breaks out tomorrow, nobody abroad can switch off Zoho's machines.

Zoho has been honest about the fact that the chip inside the server is still an Intel processor, and Intel helped in the development.

That is fine. Every country that builds hardware starts this way. China's server companies started by assembling other people's parts and slowly went deeper. The chip is the next decade's problem.

What I love most is how Zoho-like this whole thing is.

> This company took no investor money in 25 years.

> It opened offices in villages and small towns.

> It hires school students and trains them.

> It built its own browser and its own AI model.

> Now its own server.

Now compare this with the big Indian IT companies. TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL.

Together they earn over $250 billion. They have managed the world's computers for decades. But not one of them designed a server of their own.

Even the name is a nice touch. Nathu La is the mountain pass in Sikkim through which India traded with the world on the old Silk Route.

Naming your first server after a trade gateway, while building it so India depends less on imported tech, shows someone thought about this for years.

They have a few hundred servers running today and want 2,000 by the end of the year. Small numbers. But the team is trained, the design works, and the path is proven.

Indian software companies spent 30 years building on other people's machines.

One of them finally built the machine. :)
