Nobody gives @akshaykumar enough credit for doing comedy films in this time and era, no one even tries to do comedy.
Its always a big risk, yet he takes it.
He is literally the only one. Same people will years later say “ohhhhh people were harsh on this film, humare time ki comedy movies best thi”
France gonna hit 45 coming week
Paris already touched 41
UK some places 39
Netherlands ~ 34
Germany ~ 38
Italy - 47.6 (Sicily island)
US many places > 35-40
Yet, no psyops going on in Europe or US against their govts and development. Especially no psyops and instigation against development in far away islands using it.
There are no news or screenshots claiming "hottest cities of the world are in EU." Their social media influencers aren't instigating their populations against their govt using the weather parroting foreign communist propaganda.
But in the US the same red-green cabal, working for China, is instigating citizens against data centers and AI, just like in India.
India is the absolute first to achieve this and every Indian should be extremely proud of how clever this is.
Let me explain what you are even looking at.
That video shows a freight train carrying shipping containers stacked two high, one box on top of another, running under live overhead electric wires.
Sounds simple. But it is not. No other country in the world has pulled this off. India is the only one.
Here is why it is so hard.
When you stack two containers on a wagon, the train becomes very tall. Around 7 metres. Normal electric train wires in India sit much lower, around 5.5 metres. So the two cannot share the same track. The train would smash straight into the wire.
That leaves you with a choice. Go electric and stack only one container. Or stack two containers and pull the train with a diesel engine.
The US, China, Canada and Australia all run double-stack trains. But they mostly do it with diesel, or on routes that were never electrified in the first place. Nobody bothered raising electric wires that high on old tracks.
India did both electric and double-stack together. That is the world first.
The reason India could do this is a decision from the early 2000s.
So, Indian Railways had a basic problem. Goods trains and passenger trains shared the same tracks. Passenger trains always get priority.
So freight trains crawled at 25 to 30 km/h. For a growing economy, moving goods that slowly is a major problem.
So we built separate tracks only for freight. No passenger trains allowed. These are the Dedicated Freight Corridors.
The government approved the project around 2006 and set up a company called DFCCIL to build two corridors.
The Western one runs from near Delhi to the port near Mumbai, around 1,500 km. The Eastern one runs from Punjab down to West Bengal, around 1,875 km.
Because they were building from zero, the engineers were not stuck with old bridges, old tunnels or old wire heights. They could decide the clearances themselves.
So they made a deliberate call to build the whole corridor tall enough for two stacked containers. And electrify it.
Then they had to solve two hard problems.
First, the wire. On a normal Indian line the wire hangs around 5.5 metres. On the freight corridor they raised it to about 7.5 metres. This is called high-rise OHE.
No railway in the world had run a regular freight wire that high before.
Second, the engine. If the wire is way up high, a normal loco cannot reach it. The arm on the roof that touches the wire, called the pantograph, would be too short.
So India needed a new locomotive. A taller reach. And enough power to drag thousands of tonnes.
This is why we built a new loco called the WAG-12.
It is a beast.
12,000 horsepower. Double the power of the old WAG-9 it replaced. It can haul trains over 6,000 tonnes, and up to 15,000 tonnes in some setups, at 100 km/h. That is roughly three times the old freight speed.
The WAG-12 has its own backstory. In November 2015, Indian Railways signed a deal worth about ₹19,604 crore, around 3.4 billion dollars, with the French company Alstom.
They built a new factory in Madhepura, Bihar. Indian Railways holds 26 percent, Alstom holds 74 percent. It was the largest foreign investment ever in Indian Railways.
Over time the factory reached close to 90 percent local manufacturing. So most of each loco is now made in India.
So, the government approved an infrastructure decision in the mid 2000s, then it got built over almost two decades by DFCCIL, Indian Railways and RDSO. The locomotive came through the Alstom joint venture.
The first double-stack train ran under high-rise wires in June 2020, from Palanpur and Botad in Gujarat. The corridor sections were opened in stages after that.
And finally, why only India can do this.
Three things stack up together.
One, broad gauge.
India runs on a wider track than most of the world, 1,676 mm. A wider track gives a bigger loading box. So India can run plain flat wagons with two containers on top. Many countries need special low well-cars to manage height, and those still do not fix the wire problem.
Two, the fresh corridor.
India built new track with no height limits baked in. Old networks in Europe and the US are full of low tunnels and bridges never meant for 7 metre trains. Rebuilding all of that is close to impossible and crazy expensive.
Three, the system.
The tall wire, the high-reach pantograph and the powerful WAG-12 were all designed to work together as one package. You cannot copy just one piece. You need the whole thing.
Put those three together and other railways simply cannot recreate it without rebuilding from scratch.
But the part I keep thinking about is that India approved this in 2006 and ran the first train in 2020.
Fourteen years. :)
During dhurandhar telecast BCCI were arranging special screening for Dhurandhar but RCB management denied it and none of them watched it.
But now RCB captain and Krunal pandya are putting stories for Alia Bhatt movie "Alpha" and promoting it openly.🤡
Why don't these people openly support movies which show the reality of Pakistan? What are they afraid of?
This is a massive win for the government's Samudra Manthan Mission and every Indian should know about this.
Let me explain what just happened and why it matters.
Oil India just found natural gas in the Andaman Sea. Again.
This new well is called Sri Vijayapuram-3, drilled about 15 km off the east coast of the Andaman Islands at a water depth of 355 metres. At a depth of over 1,900 metres underground, the well hit natural gas in a rock formation called the Eocene. The gas came up with continuous flaring, which means a steady, sustained flow, not just a small trickle.
This is the second gas find out of three exploratory wells Oil India has drilled in the Andaman Basin.
The first one, Sri Vijayapuram-2, struck gas back in September 2025 at a slightly different spot. That gas tested at 87% methane, which is a strong, usable quality.
So 2 out of 3 wells have hit gas. In exploration terms, that is an extremely high success rate.
Most exploration campaigns are lucky to get 1 in 5. Getting 2 in 3 from a brand new basin is a very strong outcome.
A very important thing to note is that this well is brand new.
Before September 2025, nobody had ever confirmed the presence of hydrocarbons in the Andaman Basin.
People believed the gas was there. Geologists had suspected it for decades. But nobody had drilled deep enough and gotten proof.
Since the Andaman Basin sits in the same underwater geological belt that runs from Myanmar in the north down to Indonesia in the south, and both of those countries have proven, producing gas fields in that same belt, the chances were already pretty good.
This is very important for us as India imports roughly 85% of its crude oil and about 50% of its natural gas from abroad. That is a massive amount of money leaving the country every single year. The oil import bill alone runs into hundreds of billions of dollars.
When the Strait of Hormuz gets blocked or oil prices spike, India takes a direct hit because it has no choice but to keep buying.
Every litre of gas India can produce at home is a litre it does not have to import, a litre that keeps dollars inside the country instead of sending them abroad, and it means a stronger rupee, cheaper energy, and less vulnerability to whatever happens in the Middle East next.
So a new domestic gas basin opening up is a currency story, an inflation story, and a national security story, all in one.
But how did all this happen?
The answer is the Samudra Manthan Mission?
The exploration is happening under a bigger programme called the Samudra Manthan Mission, which stands for National Deep Water Exploration Mission.
Modi Ji announced it on Independence Day 2025. The idea is to drill a large number of deepwater and ultra-deepwater wells across India's offshore basins to find and tap new energy reserves.
The Andaman find is one of the first big results from that push. And the government is not doing this alone. It is partnering with some of the best deepwater exploration companies on the planet, Petrobras from Brazil, TotalEnergies, BP, Shell and ExxonMobil.
These companies have decades of experience finding and producing oil and gas from extremely deep ocean floors.
Petrobras in particular is worth knowing about. It is the company that turned Brazil from an oil importer into a major global energy power by discovering and producing oil from deep pre-salt layers under the ocean.
If India can do something even partially similar in the Andaman, it would be transformative for the country.
If the reserves turn out to be large and commercially viable, this opens up an entirely new source of domestic energy for India.
Natural gas is also cleaner than coal and oil, so more domestic gas can help India shift away from dirtier fuels for power generation, factories and cooking.
It could mean new infrastructure, new jobs and new economic activity in the Andaman region.
Of course, finding gas is not the same as producing gas. There is a long road between confirmation and commercialisation.
Right now, Oil India knows the gas is there. What it does not yet know is how much. The size of the reservoir has not been estimated. Gas sampling and isotope studies are still underway just to understand the composition and origin of the gas properly.
Even after the size is confirmed, the next question is whether it is commercially worth extracting. Deepwater drilling is expensive. Building the platforms, pipelines and processing infrastructure to bring gas from 355 metres underwater in a remote island chain all the way to mainland India is a massive, multi-year, multi-billion dollar undertaking.
The Andaman Islands are also ecologically sensitive, and any development will have to balance energy needs with environmental care.
The hard work of turning that into actual energy is ahead, but the door that was closed for decades just opened, and it opened wider than anyone expected this early.
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.
Eddie McGuire revealed that the Melbourne Stars once explored a highly unusual idea involving Sachin Tendulkar potentially coming out of retirement for a one-off Big Bash League appearance.
McGuire said, “I was just thinking about the international angle because I was lobbying at times when they started taking all our players. Ridiculously, some were being picked up and not even playing. You’d have to go all the way to Tasmania, sit on the team bus, and then not get a game.I said to him, ‘Well, if you’re going to take four of my batsmen or four of my bowlers, at least allow me to bring in one international player.’ And I actually said at one stage, ‘If I can go and get Sachin Tendulkar, I’ll fill this ground five times over. Just for one game, if we get him to come and play in the grand final. You’ve taken three or four of my best batsmen, so let me bring in one. Let me get Sachin Tendulkar as our batsman and Shane Warne as our bowler, and let’s see how many people turn up.”
He added that such a match would have been “the biggest cricket match in Australian history.” [StarsBBL]
Not really. Right after 2011 when Sachin Tendulkar was asked if he wanted to play the next one, he denied.
He was also asked the same question in 2012 after completing 100 tons where he told it’s too far in the future.
Sachin never told he wanted to play 2015 WC.
Yes BCCI had a conversation with him in 2012 before India vs Pakistan series but there’s no record of SRT publicly accepting he wanted to play the 2015 World Cup.
Since 4th May many things have changed in Kolkata.
I don't see those goons anymore in the street extorting money from poor rickshaw/auto/toto riders.
I don't see the local TMC goons in my locality standing in groups and passing vulgar comments on passing by women and girls.
I don't see the huge garbage dump in my locality anymore.
Law and Order has been fixed.
Women's dignity has been restored.
Pending Chingrighata Metro work is almost done.
The change is real. Bengal is changing!
Dude don't throw all mud to Central government.
Central is ready to execute big big projects which will bring more than 50k crore into tn single handedly.
⚡Parandur Airport
⚡Defence corridor
⚡Inaiyam Mothership port (Flagship 😭)

Now tell me which ecosystem opposed it ?
- Falta was Sandeshkhali 2.0
- Shopkeepers were forced to pay ₹5K/month to TMC
- Voters were stopped & terrorized by TMC
Even a robbery in UP becomes national news, but the horrors on Bengalis were never reported
Didn’t expect to receive this one 😄
A signed Lionel Messi jersey!
This one’s definitely going straight to the favourites… Nandil and Sukanya would be ecstatic.
PM Modi tells us to use public transport. In Mumbai?
BEST bus fleet shrinking- We have just 2800 buses while we atleast need 10k buses-BEST is being killed
Locals packed past breaking point- 6 people die daily on an avg in MMR
Metro fares unaffordable for daily commute of the masses, Veg and fish vendors not allowed
Thousands of crores splurged on a Coastal Road for the car-owning few- the most expensive road in the world
Fix the system before lecturing citizens.
We can be sure as the war ends, there will be another distraction by the US using "Aliens, UFOs, and UAPs".
If Iran war was a distraction from Epstein files, this will be a distraction from war crimes. We can be sure of some Aliens dot gov site launching distracting the world.
