The owner of this red car has a question for Mr. Nitin Gadkari.
He bought the car in 2019, and the car's manual clearly says that only E5 or E10 petrol should be used.
However, from April, E20 petrol has been introduced by the government.
So his question is: If his car is not designed for E20 fuel, where should he get suitable petrol, and who will be responsible for any loss or damage caused by this change?
His name is Harekala Hajabba.
For decades he has sold oranges from a small cart near the bus stand in Mangaluru, Karnataka. He earns around a hundred and fifty rupees a day.
He has never been to school and cannot read or write. By every measure the world uses, he is a poor, unlettered fruit seller.
One day, sometime in the 1990s, a foreign couple stopped at his cart and asked him, in English, the price of his oranges. He could not understand them and could not answer. They walked away.
The moment did not anger him. It shamed him. Then it changed him.
He decided that no child in his village should ever have to stand there the way he had, unable to understand a simple question, locked out by language and the lack of a school.
His village, Newpadpu, did not have one. The nearest school was about seven kilometres away.
So an illiterate orange seller earning a hundred and fifty rupees a day set out to build a school. He saved his coins, approached officials and donors, and donated his own land.
In the year 2000, the school opened with twenty-eight children in a place that had never had one.
Today that school teaches up to Class 10 and has around a hundred and seventy-five students. Children from his village now study in classrooms he helped build from the price of oranges.
People began calling him Akshara Santha, the saint of letters.
In 2020, the Government of India awarded him the Padma Shri, one of the nation’s highest civilian honours. He walked up barefoot, wearing a plain white dhoti, to receive it.
He said it was not his award. It belonged to the school.
He still sells oranges and has said he wants to use whatever he earns and receives to build a college next.
A man who could not answer one question in English made sure thousands of children after him would never be left speechless the same way.

A plastic cup and spoon tossed out of a moving car on the way to Mussoorie.
Most people would’ve ignored it and driven ahead.
But Dehradun-based founder Anoop Nautiyal chose to stop, pick up the waste, walk up to the tourists, and calmly hand it back to them.
No shouting.
No public humiliation.
Just one simple reminder: If we can visit the mountains for peace, the least we can do is not leave our garbage behind.
While travelling with his wife and associate on, Anoop noticed tourists ahead throwing plastic waste out of their taxi window on the road to Mussoorie. He approached them respectfully, asked them not to repeat it, and the tourists reportedly admitted their mistake.
We often blame governments, municipalities, and systems for dirty streets and polluted hills. But sometimes, the problem starts with a single careless act we think nobody is watching.

An IIT graduate built a faster railway booking app than IRCTC.. and ended up going to jail for it.
This is the story of S. Yuvarajaa, an IIT graduate engineer.
In 2016, he built two apps
- Super Tatkal
- Super Tatkal Pro
To Help people book Tatkal tickets before they sold out in seconds.
Anyone who has used IRCTC knows the pain:
- slow website
- payment failures
- captcha delays
- tickets disappearing instantly
So he created an app that automated and sped up the process.
The app became hugely popular and got Around 1 lakh+ users downloaded it.
Instead of charging users directly, the app used a “coin system”:
- 10 coins = ₹20
- every booking used 5 coins
Over 4 years, he reportedly earned around ₹20 lakh through the app.
But got into a huge problem that he was not an authorized IRCTC agent.
Railway authorities said the app was bypassing official systems and giving users unfair access to Tatkal bookings.
The Railway Protection Force (RPF) cyber cell investigated him, tracked the servers and payment trails, and arrested him in 2020.
After the arrest:
- both apps were removed from the Play Store
- legal cases were filed under the Railways Act
So Was he a hero or a villain?
Michelin’in havasız ve patlamayan lastikleri; patlak derdinin olmadığı, daha dayanıklı ve çevreye daha az atık bırakan bir geleceğin sinyalini veriyor.
Patna to Bengaluru: aerial distance around 1790 km. Airfare: ₹8530.
Varanasi to Bengaluru: aerial distance around 1750 km. Airfare: ₹5200.
A difference of barely 40 km in distance, but nearly ₹3300 extra in fare.
So the question is simple: if aviation fuel, aircraft type, and flying time are almost the same, why are passengers from Patna being charged so much more?
Is this “dynamic pricing” or simply exploiting limited connectivity and high demand from Bihar?
Can the Ministry of Civil Aviation explain why one route is being priced like a premium corridor while another with almost identical distance is far cheaper?
Air travel cannot become a system where passengers from certain cities are forced to pay a “regional penalty” just because they have fewer options. @Pib_MoCA@samrat4bjp@PMOIndia@MoCA_GoI@RamMNK@Jduonline@RJDforIndia@BJP4India @
La Chine vient peut-être de créer l’un des matériaux les plus importants des prochaines années.
Des chercheurs de l’Université forestière de Nanjing ont développé un plastique fabriqué à partir de bambou.
Et le plus fou c’est qu’il est aussi résistant que le plastique classique.
Sauf qu’au lieu de rester dans la nature pendant des centaines d’années…
il peut se dégrader en environ 50 jours.
Quand on sait que le monde produit plus de 400 millions de tonnes de plastique chaque année, ça paraît presque irréel.
Le détail qui surprend le plus, c’est que ce matériau ne vient pas du pétrole.
Il vient du bambou.
Une plante capable de pousser jusqu’à 1 mètre par jour et connue pour absorber d’énormes quantités de CO₂.
Les chercheurs expliquent aussi que ce nouveau plastique pourrait être utilisé pour :
Des emballages, des objets du quotidien, des composants industriels, et même certaines pièces automobiles.
Donc on ne parle pas d’un “plastique écologique fragile”.
Les tests montrent une résistance impressionnante, supérieure à certains plastiques déjà utilisés aujourd’hui.
Et même après recyclage…
Le matériau conserverait encore environ 90 % de sa solidité.
Évidemment, il reste encore des défis.
Les 50 jours de dégradation dépendent de conditions précises et les tests à grande échelle sont encore en cours.
Mais une chose est sûre :
Le simple fait qu’un matériau biodégradable puisse rivaliser avec le plastique pétrolier aurait semblé impossible il y a encore quelques années.
Et si le futur du plastique venait finalement… du bambou ?
New York City flooded after a few hours of rain today
No global city is equipped for heavy rains. Indian city just get called out more as there is trash on the streets which is more evident in the rains
Frogs are disappearing across India—and that could make dengue 5× worse. 🐸
They eat crop pests, mosquito larvae, and clean toxic ponds. Their death signals poisoned ecosystems. From deadly fungi to climate change, 40% of India’s amphibians are under threat.
On International Day for Biological Diversity ,let’s celebrate and protect every croak, every leap. Citizen scientists with FrogWatch are helping—one sighting can save a species. Are frogs still singing near you?

A ₹1.6 crore hospital bill collapsed to just ₹27 lakhs, not because of a lawyer, not because of connections, but because of an AI chatbot. This family uploaded the entire medical bill into an AI system and let it audit every line item. The AI detected duplicate billing, illegal code stacking, and procedures that hospitals are not legally allowed to charge for. It then drafted a legally structured dispute letter referencing exact compliance violations. The hospital had no counter. The bill was slashed by over eighty percent. This is the real power of AI in healthcare — medical bill audits, hospital compliance checks, insurance dispute automation, and patient protection at scale.
🚨 SUPREME COURT : "If both parents are IAS officers, why seek reservation?"
"The parents have studied, they are in good jobs, they are getting good income, and the children want reservation again"
"We will never get out of it"
"With educational and economic empowerment, there is social mobility"
"See, they should get out of reservation"
