Gurindervir Singh smashes India’s 100m national record with a 10.09s sprint, becoming the first Indian to officially break the 10.10s barrier.
https://t.co/bml2y5xiiG
Usain Bolt’s 9.58s (WR, 2009) remains untouched. In Paris 2024, Noah Lyles clinched gold at 9.79s, Fred Kerley took bronze at 9.81s.
Meanwhile, in Bengaluru, Gurindervir Singh clocked 10.20s—India’s new national record at the Indian Grand Prix 1.
The gap? Still wide. But in a country where sub-10 remains uncharted, 10.20 is a marker. A step. A beacon.
The chase continues 🔥🔥

@brahma_4u Stop crying about it. USA has a system which plugs people efficiently, be it Indian origin or from anywhere else. Build the system, and incentivise R&D an you will have such examples at home too. Infosys spends 0.5% of its revenue on R&D, then we cry about working hours.🤷♂️
@parthpunter Incompetence is what you show by putting a narrative always that too not very nicely. If you want to blame BJP to have waited for political gains in Bengal elections before raising price I would agree, but incompetent? See this coming from Singapore's PM https://t.co/tmjyavCPzM
Her name is Pooja Jain Gupta.
Her father D K Jain founded Luxor in 1963 from the busy streets of Old Delhi with Rs 5000 and five employees. He built India’s largest writing instruments company.
But he never handed it to his daughter. He made her earn it.
In 1992 he took her to an international stationery fair in Japan. She was still in school. That trip changed everything.
She joined Luxor as an Assistant Product Manager while still in her teens. Her first salary was Rs 1743 a month.
She did not report to her father. The marketing manager was her first boss.
She graduated from Lady Shri Ram College. She studied International Business at the London School of Economics and the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade.
She helped bring Parker and Waterman pens to India. She expanded Luxor into more than 95 countries.
Today it is a Rs 2000 crore business and India’s largest exporter of writing instruments.
But what she is building now is the more interesting story.
At a time when every parent is pushing children toward screens and AI she is making the opposite bet.
Handwriting. Journaling. Doodling. Tactile creativity.
Not as nostalgia. As skills for the next generation.
Most companies sell products. Very few sell possibility.
The future will not belong only to AI native companies. It will also belong to brands that make humans feel human again.
India’s creativity economy is still massively underestimated. Pooja Jain Gupta is betting her company on it.
In collaboration with Luxor Group.

Remember Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman who spent 8 years on death row after being accused of “blasphemy” for drinking water from a Muslim’s cup.
Asia was working in the fields with her Muslim coworkers. She got thirsty and went to fetch water from the well, where she took a drink with an old metal cup she had found. That’s all it took.
Christians are considered dirty and impure in Islam, and she was accused of attempting to contaminate the Muslims’ water just by drinking from their cup. She was sentenced to death by hanging.
The governor of her province voiced opposition to the verdict and was assassinated by his own bodyguard.
When she was finally acquitted in 2018 due to international pressure, tens of thousands of Muslims rioted, demanding her immediate execution.
A local poll found that 10 MILLION Pakistanis would personally kill her if given the chance. Just for drinking water from a Muslim’s cup.
Her lawyer had to flee the country. And after months in hiding, she was finally able to escape Pakistan and received asylum in Canada.
This is Pakistan, where non-Muslims live under the constant threat of death. The more I learn about this country, the more it just feels like ISIS with a formal government.
This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating Chrissy, a 14 yr old giraffe, who gave birth yesterday to a healthy female calf after a quick 27-minute active labor.
The drop is natural & helps sever the umbilical cord & stimulate the calf's first breath.

We aren’t celebrating this enough..
Understand: At Mach 6+, you aren't building a square pipe. You’re managing a 2,500C inferno for 20 minutes.
This is a total thermal soak that would melt any standard structures (including ones used in Brahmos)
The Complexity:
✅ Material Science : A hybrid of C-C composites, SiC/SiC liners, and nickel superalloys.
✅ Physics: Managing supersonic shockwaves while the engine's geometry literally expands from the heat.
✅ Most importantly Manufacturing: Mastering precision diffusion bonding and superalloys indigenously is the real "world beater" with our own industrial base here.
One mother forbade medicines to the dying, converted them, then laughed at the death count; the other mother has provided free treatment to 5.9 million, built 13 million sqft, 95 OT, 101 speciality, 4050 bed hospitals employing 1540 doctors.
The first mother got the Nobel Prize.
Pat Cummins did a special act on his birthday yesterday.
On the occasion of his 33rd birthday he decided to donate his blood to Apollo Hospital as it was his lifelong dream to get it done in India and save lives through this gesture. There was a traditional party which was planned out for him by the Hospital but he didn't accept it.
He went there to inaugurate a new sports injury centre and then had his blood taken.
When it's community service Pat Cummins is always the first one to raise his hand up and give a helping hand.
People should never forget he help Covid-19 victims suffering in India during Covid.
Respect Pat Cummins 👏 🙌
@stats_feed Then we need to study what Japan is doing that is allowing people to live that longer instead of keep putting the label of fastest aging society in human history. Your argument sounds like Japanese are aging faster than the rest of the world. Birth rate is the problem not Aging🤷🏻♂️
🇯🇵 Japan has more people over 100 years old (95,000+) than most countries have doctors.
1 in 1,500 Japanese people is a centenarian.
In 1963, there were only 153 centenarians in all of Japan.
The fastest aging society in human history.
"It’s entirely possible that Claude is, in fact, having conscious experiences of some sort."
No it isn't. It's not complicated. The "hard" problems of philosophy simply don't apply. We know how Claude generates its output. It's entirely impossible that consciousness is involved.
