ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

india’s youth is becoming dangerously easy to manipulate. everything runs on reels, edits, and viral hype. people stop asking the basics: who is this person? what has he achieved? what’s the agenda? critical thinking is fading, and that’s the real crisis
At current prices, I genuinely think rooftop solar is one of the best investments you can make for your family.
I’ve spent way too much time researching, comparing quotations, and talking to installers while getting solar installed at both my factory and home. So I thought I’d share everything I learnt because why not 🧵🔽
A super-refreshing take from @milinddeora that goes to the heart of why India’s cities aren’t rain-proof.
Whether or not you agree, if you genuinely care about a lasting solution, listen to this:
June 6 script:
• Protest at Jantar Mantar.
• Police stop it due to lack of permission.
• Scuffle over "constitutional rights."
• Social media: "We can't even protest anymore!"
• A few detentions. Wangchuk becomes the face of the story.
• Selective clips of alleged mistreatment go viral.
• International media: "Modi government jails youth activists."
• Twitter screams dictatorship.
•German Shepherd uploads a video,India under dictator.
By the end of the day, a permissions dispute will be sold as proof that democracy in India is dead.
@nykaafashion@MyNykaa new scam by Nyka. Ordered 3 products from Nykaa and placed a return request for 1. 2 days later the return request is not visible on app and the team claims now I can't return the product as the window is closed. Kudos on dark patterns to reduce returns!
Today, due to VVIP movements, heavy vehicles were off Mumbai roads — and the result was unbelievable.
🚗 Kandivali to Bandra on the Western Express Highway in just 30 minutes.
No chaos. No bottlenecks. No endless crawling.
Sometimes a temporary decision exposes a permanent solution.
It’s time Mumbai seriously considers restricting heavy vehicle movement on major arterial roads from 7am–11pm, allowing structured, regulated movement only during night hours. (11pm to 6am)
If one day can transform traffic flow, imagine what a well-planned policy can do.

12–13 hours stranded on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway. ZERO information. ZERO facilities.
No public announcement. No guidance to avoid travel or take a U-turn. IRB continued collecting tolls while passengers were left stranded for hours without water, toilets, or medical aid. Helplines went unanswered. Officials vanished.
VVIP convoys got priority. Common citizens got chaos. This is not inconvenience, this is criminal mismanagement. Refund tolls to all affected motorists. Fix accountability.

Dear @ICC,
It is with a heavy heart that we now announce our unavailability to replace Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Regardless of whether they now withdraw, the short timescales ensure it is impossible for our squad to prepare in the professional manner necessary to compete effectively in this global cricketing spectacle. We are not like Scotland and able to turn up on a whim, with no kit sponsor.
Our players are from all walks of life and cannot simply drop their occupations to fly halfway around the world to experience temperatures only normally felt in Finnish saunas. Our captain, a professional baker, needs to attend to his oven, our ship captain needs to steer his vessel, and our bankers need to go bankrupt (again). This is the harsh reality of cricket at the amateur level of the game.
This news will be extremely disappointing to our fans. Despite being the most peaceful nation on Earth, we maintain an army of online followers, and are the world's 14th most followed national board on X. We were ready to give the Dutch the biggest shock they have experienced since William of Orange lost the Battle of Landen in 1693. And the Americans were looking forward to taking on Greenland, or so their orange-dyed leader thought.
Our loss is likely Uganda's gain. We wish them well. Their kits cannot be missed unless you have epilepsy, in which case they are probably best avoided.
The future is always ice, until it isn't.
Yours sincerely,
Icelandic Cricket Association
