You're planning a trip with 6 people.
Someone suggests: "Let's do a cooking class."
Another person: "Actually, I want to go diving."
Third person: "What about a hike?"
Fourth person: "Can we just relax at the beach?"
Now you have 4 competing ideas and zero decisions.

Ravi Kumar, an engineer from DU and MBA from IIM Kozhikode, appeared for the 2016 ISRO Administrative Officer exam, which he topped.
ISRO then allegedly applied a normalization rule after the results, lowering his score so he lost the top spot.
Ravi challenged this before the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), arguing no such normalisation rule was disclosed earlier and was illegal. Even the Union of India admitted no such rule existed in the recruitment notice.
CAT first adjourned the case (meaning it would be heard later). Ravi claimed this original “adjourn” order was destroyed and replaced with an order dismissing his plea. He then challenged it in Delhi High Court, which also dismissed it.
Ravi openly accused Tribunal members and judges of corruption and forging orders to protect ISRO. CAT found this scandalous and gave him a suspended three-month contempt sentence.
Hurt, Ravi enrolled in law college, became an advocate, and filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking FIRs against six sitting/former judges for alleged forgery.
Yesterday, he appeared in the Supreme Court. The Court called his plea “scandalous” and even made sarcastic remarks, but still appointed former CJ Dr. S Muralidhar as amicus curiae to advise whether FIRs can be filed against judges for allegedly forging orders. If even prima facie evidence emerges, the SC could order a limited probe or internal inquiry.
Hope Ravi wins this one! It is not love nor wisdom, but the sting of pride that drives man beyond his limits. Absolute cinema.
Operation Sindoor Establishes a New Doctrine for India.
My thoughts on Operation Sindoor (full version) https://t.co/ttZ9WSqFYo
Operation Sindoor achieved the following strategic effects:
- Established a New Red Line
Terror attacks launched from Pakistani territory will now be treated as acts of war. That threshold has been redefined—and enforced.
- Demonstrated Superiority
India showcased its offensive and defensive capabilities, particularly the performance of indigenous platforms under live combat conditions.
- Restored Deterrence
Pakistan escalated with drone swarms and cross-border fire. India struck back harder, but stopped short of general war. That is textbook deterrence: calibrated, controlled, and credible.
- Asserted Strategic Independence
India managed the crisis entirely through its own military and diplomatic mechanisms. It neither asked for nor relied on outside assistance. This is a sovereign doctrine—enforced on sovereign terms.
Critics who believe India should have conducted a more massive military operation—calling for deep strikes, occupation of territory, or regime change—misunderstand what sound strategy demands. India was attacked by terrorists who launched from Pakistani soil. It responded not with indiscriminate escalation, but with a measured, phased military campaign, each step calibrated to achieve specific strategic objectives tied to the events at hand.
This is not unlimited war. It is limited war, conducted for limited but vital aims: to re-establish deterrence, impose costs on Pakistan’s terror infrastructure, and redefine the rules of engagement between the two nuclear-armed nations. Restraint in this context is not weakness—it is discipline in pursuit of strategic clarity.
“War Is the Real Test: What Operation Sindoor Revealed About Indian and Pakistani Military Capabilities,”
War is always the ultimate proving ground—not just for military hardware, but for the operational effectiveness of a nation’s defense posture. While exercises and parades may show off new systems, only combat reveals what actually works under pressure. The recent Indian response to the April 22 terrorist attack in Kashmir—Operation Sindoor—did exactly that. https://t.co/NP8F98FBSZ
