दिल्ली की ट्रैफिक पुलिस @dtptraffic पिछले 25 साल के सबसे निकृष्ट दौर से गुज़र रही है... और इसका सबूत आपको तब मिलता है जब आप प्रगति मैदान टनल से होकर रिंग रोड पर निकलते हैं... यहां एक सीएनजी पंप है... यहां अवैध दुकाने बनी हैं... ऊपर से पंप वाला ट्रैफिक कंट्रोल नहीं करता... जिसकी वजह से यहां चोक प्वाइंट बन जाता है... और नतीजा इंडिया गेट तक रोज़ जाम लग जाता है...
हैरत की बात है कि ये बेवकूफी रात 9.30 बजे तक और कई बार तो 10 बजे तक रहती है... और ये सब पिछले तीन से साल से रोज़ हो रहा है... लेकिन सबसे शर्मनाक बात है कि जो बात राहगीरों को समझ में आ रही है वो ट्रैफिक पुलिस को समझ नहीं आ रही है... पिछले चार साल में मैंने आज तक इस प्वाइंट पर किसी ट्रैफिक पुलिस वाले को व्यवस्था संभालते नहीं देखा... जागो भाई... नींद से जागो...

How to destroy a booming market.
A short post ft. the Haryana excise department.
The video is of Sector 29 on a Sunday evening. Shutters down. Shops sitting with no tenants. Half of them had not even bothered to open.
This is the same market that once ran a parking mafia. Tickets of 50, 100, sometimes more, just to park. Cars crawling all night. You could not get in.
I stood there this Sunday and there was nothing. 10 percent of the old crowd, maybe less.
A few years ago this place did not feel like India. At night the whole market was shining. Music, lights, people everywhere, that feeling of standing somewhere abroad for a few hours. Today it is quiet and in shambles.
Everyone will tell you the towing killed it. GMDA lifted thousands of cars, Sector 29 topped the list, people got scared and stopped coming. That scared some of them off. The market was already bleeding from somewhere else.
That somewhere else opened right next door, with a friendly name. BYOB. Bring your own booze. Sounds like freedom.
Except you cannot bring your own booze. A friend lands from abroad, hands you a bottle of scotch from duty free, and they stop you at the door. You get in only if you buy the liquor from their shop. The one attached to the place. So the name is a lie. It is a liquor shop wearing a restaurant costume.
Now look at what the licensed bars were carrying. Haryana raises the bar license fee almost every year. A proper brewery or bar in Sector 29 pays that every single year before it pours one glass. The BYOB next door pays none of it. No license. No excise weight. And it still charges food prices as high as the bar it is busy killing.
Here is the part that should end the argument. Around 2 years ago some of these BYOB spots quietly built a mezzanine floor over the ground seating to double the covers. No fire safety. No clearance worth the name. The places breaking every rule got bigger. The places following every rule shut down. The mezzanines were pulled later, but by then the crowd had already moved.
And the young crowd never cared about any of this. The BYOBs stay open till 4 in the morning. Live music, belly dance, theme nights, pool parties. Sector 29 with its licenses and its rules and its closing time could not fight a format that had no rules to begin with.
Then look at the real estate. Around 3 years ago an SCO here was touching 50 CR. Today those same units are hard to sell. The rent is so high that nobody can run a business that covers it, so the shutter just stays down. The demand is still there. It just walked next door, to the cheaper version with no license and no rules.
That is how you destroy a booming market. You charge the ones who follow the law every single year, you leave the ones who break it completely free, and then you act surprised when the lawful ones are the first to die.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has suspended the License of M/s Park Plaza (A Unit of Mahagun Hotels Pvt. Ltd.) based in Shahdara, Delhi with immediate effect. Following a thorough inspection, multiple critical and gross non-compliances were observed.

Two Tomahawk missiles, reportedly fired from George Soros's Bedford residence in New York, in a bid to sabotage Shri Nitin Gadkari's infrastructure work, hit the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway this morning. Thankfully, no lives were lost.
Indus waters treaty surviving wars waged on India was India’s magnanimity, if not stupidity.
For all the rona dhona Pakistan is doing, fulfill the simple criteria—STOP TERRORISM against India.
But you won’t. That exposes Pakistan even more, which the international community must notice.
We built Delhi metro -271 stations with 8 million daily riders ( amongst top 10 globally) for just $8Bn
Our moon mission costed us just $75 Million
Built Largest biometric system in world for 1.4 Bn people -aadhar built with just $1bn
Worlds tallest railway bridge Chenab for $175 Mn
Codeveloped BrahMos missile-unique in the global arms market, combining a high top speed (Mach3)multi-platform launch versatility (air, ship, sub, land), and supersonic cruising, which sets it apart from both legacy subsonic cruise missiles and newer, more expensive hypersonic weapons for $4 million.
Our precision engineering, technology usage and frugality is unmatched.
Foreign media & brokerages claiming India has no technology, precision engineering play are biased and spreading propaganda…
It’s been a minute.

Today
CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t change. Just the role.
Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction.
Team CRED, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves.
As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally.
Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data.
While it’s come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth.
Onwards.
So Russia is banned from FIFA because of their invasion of Ukraine, but America is allowed to HOST THE FIFA GAMES WHILE BOMBING IRAN???
HOW DOES THAT WORK?????
Nobody's asking the hard questions about #Ethanol
- it has ~33% lower energy density than petrol. You WILL see worse fuel efficiency. You WILL feel a drop in power. And long-term? what about Pre 2022 cars which are barely E10 compliant?
Rubber seals, injectors, fuel pumps quietly degrading in engines never engineered for aggressive ethanol blends.
Reliability concerns that only show up after a few thousand kms.
And the poor car buyer? Told this is "green mobility" while silently absorbing every cost.
Also, what will happen to resale values of older non E20 compliant cars when the blend goes upto E25, E30 Etc in a couple of years?
Worse still, buyers have no choice at the pump but to buy E20 fuel. No option for E10 or E5.
A mandate without consumer protection, without transparent pump labelling, without honest disclosures really feels rushed.
The environment matters. Energy security is paramount too. But so is durability, efficiency and basic honesty.
