Eggs are the cheapest and most convenient form of protein for India's protein deprived children in government schools. This CON job of ritual "purity" at the expense of child nutrition, must cease.

That is not “direct poison”. It’s the egg’s membrane. In fact, there are 2 membranes - one that is attached to the inside of the shell and one wrapped around the egg white. It offers additional protection against microbial attack in case there is a crack in the shell.

Fun fact: it’s not only edible, it’s made of collagen, and many collagen supplements are made from this membrane.

Even more fun fact: in very fresh eggs, the membrane sticks to the egg white and is harder to remove. As the egg gets older, the membrane is easier to remove from the boiled egg.

The egg is one of nature’s most accomplished works. A single, self-contained marvel, packed with every protein the body craves, brimming with vitamins and fats laid down to nourish new life. And yet, in the modern poultry farming context, IT IS PURELY VEGETARIAN because an unfertilised egg hosts no life, just the raw material to nourish it. Cracked into a hot pan, it firms into culinary gold. Whipped, it rises into airy clouds. Coddled, poached, folded into the silkiest of custards, or scrambled into bhurji, it bends endlessly to the cook’s will. Few things on this Earth give so generously, in so many guises. This, surely, is perfection in miniature. The greatest single ingredient in the kitchen.

When KRK makes sense, you can understand how stupid this Modi Govt must be.

Every medical science communicator must help prevent pseudoscience from infiltrating credible science databases.

[Srikanth Narasimhan @srikanthn1975]

The reason Bengaluru's roads are in poor condition is not because contractors don't know how to build roads, but because the tendering and contract allocation process is mired in corruption and misgovernance.

50% of the contracts in the past have been awarded to one agency called KRIDL, which is a corrupt organization designed to siphon off money, and which currently is under investigation by ED.

For the other 50% of the projects, the contractor is pre-decided (relative of the politician)!

Competent & capable contractors who want to focus on quality work are threatened with delayed payments and kept out of the tendering process.

The result is predictable. Roads are built poorly, roads are dug up repeatedly, public money is spent & siphoned off, and citizens continue to suffer from potholes and flooding.

This is not an engineering problem. It is a governance problem.

Until there is transparency and accountability in the tendering process, Bengaluru will continue to spend thousands of crores without getting the infrastructure it deserves.

The Bengaluru Development Minister needs to ask questions to the Ministers & Politicians, including from his own party (and not the Officials), to get the right answers.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

With all the forced pseudoscience projects with questionable outcomes emerging from Indian Institutes of Technology across India, degrading decades of scientific credibility, mostly from political and religio-cultural agenda from the BJP and the Ministry of Ayush, this is a timely piece. Never before seen kind of "secret war" for those who really love this nation. Science community in India needs to be stronger than ever and come together to fight this spreading blight and growing rot. The hapless public deserve our candles in the dark.

JNU STUDENT EXPOSES MODI’S EXAM HYPOCRISY 🔥

REPORTER: PM Modi spent two hours at the airport so students would not face traffic disruption. What more do you want from him?

NEHA 🎯: Modi ji does Pariksha Pe Charcha very well, but when the exam paper gets leaked, he does not do charcha on that.

REPORTER: So what should the PM do?

NEHA ⚡️: If he really wants to cooperate with students, he should remove the minister sitting in his own cabinet who has destroyed the future of crores of students.

REPORTER: Why are students still sitting at Jantar Mantar?

NEHA 🔥: Students are not here for fun. They were forced to leave their preparation, risk their future and sleep on the road until Modi makes his useless minister resign.

[Cockroach is Back @Cockroachisback]

Wow what a brave girl taking on Godi media’s defense of Dharmendra Pradhan’s incompetence!

ABHIJEET CALLS OUT CELEBRITY SILENCE 🔥

REPORTER: When it is about students and NEET paper leak, why is no celebrity or cricketer speaking?

ABHIJEET 🎯: Celebrities do not speak until they get a forward from IT cell.

REPORTER: Have things changed in the last 10-12 years?

ABHIJEET ⚡️: Not just celebrities, even citizens were scared. But today these people have lost their fear. They are standing here in this heat.

REPORTER: So celebrities will also speak?

ABHIJEET 🔥: When the public mood changes, their mood will also change. They only change sides and speak for whoever is in power.

[Sabeer Bhatia @sabeer]

I’m sorry to say this, but the Government in India increasingly resembles institutionalized corruption. It’s tragic that this is happening in the world’s largest democracy. Even more troubling is that many good people seem to have become so accustomed to it that they no longer question it.

[Cockroach Janta Party @CJP_for_India]

REPORTER: Police say you are not even listening to the Supreme Court. How long will this protest continue?

ABHIJEET 🎯: Protest after 5 PM is wrong? But staying on the chair after 12 student suicides is right?

REPORTER: NEET exam is also tomorrow. What would you tell the students?

ABHIJEET 🔥: Go give your exam. Don’t take tension. Your brothers and sisters are here fighting for your rights.

[Cockroach Janta Party @CJP_for_India]

Most important data shared by Rahul Gandhi Ji today and it completely exposes the Education system.

1 out of 3000 clears UPSC
30 out of 3000 goes to IIT
180 out of 3000 clears NEET

And, only NEET students spend ₹1.32 lakh crore while the Modi govt education budget is ₹1.4 lakh crore
