So shameful. Cruel.

There was no rain in the village for a long time and the land became dry. Farmers could not grow crops and were facing water problems.

The villagers asked the government to build wells.

An officer sent the request to higher officials.

The request was approved.

Money was given to build 50 wells. The money was spent. No wells were built. The records showed that 50 wells had been completed.

A new officer joined.

He checked the government records. The records said that 50 wells had been built.

He visited the village and could not find a single well.

Instead of reporting the truth, he sent another request. He said the wells were damaged and needs repairing.

More money was approved to repair them. The money was spent again.

No repair work was done because there were no wells to repair.

Another officer joined.

He checked the records. The records showed that the wells had been built and repaired.

He visited the village. Still, there were no wells.

He sent another request and said the wells had become dry. They should be filled for safety.

More money was approved. The money was spent again. The records showed that the wells had been filled.

So this is how corruption works. The wells were dug, repaired, and filled only on paper. In reality, no wells ever existed. No one notices because everyone in the chain gets a share of the money.

This gets worse.

So not only did the US Navy fire two missiles and kill three Indian sailors they refused to rescue the 24 Indian crew despite saying they are on fire, the vessel is sinking and that they are an all Indian crew.

The Omanis rescued them.

A 25-year-old housewife in Chennai earns ₹250/hour ($3) just by doing her normal housework.

She wears a phone on her head and records herself making coffee, cutting fruit, folding laundry.

These first-person videos get sent to AI companies training humanoid robots to handle real-world tasks. She shoots 90+ clips a day.

Her quote: "Who else will pay you ₹250/hour ($3) an hour just for doing housework?"

She's part of a growing gig economy in India where thousands are doing the same thing, filming everyday life to train the robots of tomorrow.
