@CARadhakrishnaa@nkalwani@SadhguruJV A friend of mine was in one of the groups. I don't know which subgroup she was in. She travelled to Nepal this sunday. Is there a list? Her name is Divya from BLR and I am not able to reach her.

Best response to the ' We are GenZ"
I hope people like her soon realise that they are "GenZ" because their parents chose to have sex without condom between 1997 and 2012. That's all. There is nothing special about that.
If Army had closed the road, they must have had a reason. Instead of understanding the situation, she is shouting at the armed forces.
She said, these people lock Kashmiris and now doing the same with us tourists. I hope she gets a little famous and regret this moment.
These fatsos shout "We are GenZ" as it is some sort of qualification. I hope people like her soon realise that they are "GenZ" because their parents chose to have sex without condom between 1997 and 2012. That's all. There is nothing special about that.
@KiranKS I can answer that! The general population is taking it as a painful task, while a particular community is taking it very seriously. I can see special camps being conducted in areas of their higher density. Karnataka ia doomed.
The Youth Who "Downloaded" Everything
At 12 yrs old, Śvetaketu was sent away to a traditional gurukul to study the Vedas, logic, grammar & formal sciences. He spent 12 yrs memorizing the entire canon of ancient knowledge, essentially building a massive, human-database equivalent of an LLM in his head.
When he returned home at 24, he did not walk in with humility. The text explicitly describes him as:
स्तब्ध एयाय महामना अनूचानमानी
Stabdha eyāya mahāmanā anūcānamānī
He returned arrogant, highly opinionated, proud of his vast learning & convinced he knew everything there was to know.
Śvetaketu had instant access to every text, rule, formula & debate structure. He was, for all practical purposes, a walking search engine.
His father, Uddālaka, saw through his son’s surface-level confidence. He did not test him on rote recitation / facts.
Instead, he asked a single, deceptive question that shattered Śvetaketu’s pride:
"Śvetaketu, my dear boy, since you are so proud, so well-read & so confident in your knowledge... did you ask your teachers for that instruction by which the unheard becomes heard, the unthought becomes thought & the unknown becomes known?"
Śvetaketu froze.
He had memorized 1000s of rules, texts & definitions. But he had no idea what his father was talking about. How could a single principle explain the unseen core of everything?
Confused & humbled, Śvetaketu replied: "How can there be such an instruction, father? My venerable teachers surely did not know this, for if they had known it, why would they not have taught it to me? Please, father, tell me about it."
In that single moment, his entire "I know everything" syndrome collapsed. He realized he had gathered data (jñāna), but lacked insight (vijñāna).
To teach him, Uddālaka did not hand him another book. He brought him a tiny fruit from a banyan tree (Nyagrodha) & asked him to perform a physical experiment:
"Break open the fruit."
Śvetaketu broke it: "It is broken, father."
"What do you see inside?"
Śvetaketu looked: "Extremely tiny seeds, father."
"Break 1 of those tiny seeds."
Śvetaketu crushed it: "It is broken, father."
"What do you see inside the crushed seed?"
Śvetaketu peered closely & said: "Nothing at all, father."
Uddālaka then said words that carry a terrifying resonance in the age of AI: My son, from that subtle essence inside the seed which you claim is 'nothing', this entire massive, sprawling banyan tree arises and stands.
You can count the leaves, measure the branches & memorize the bark. But if you do not know the invisible, unquantifiable essence that creates the tree, your knowledge is only of the surface.
Uddālaka then delivered the immortal Mahāvākya:
"Tat Tvam Asi"
We live in a time where anyone with a prompt can generate a 1000 word essay, write code in languages they never learned / summarize 50 books in secs. It creates a psychological trap: confusing retrieval speed with personal depth.
Śvetaketu represents the modern AI user: Armed with instant outputs, convinced that possessing access to answers is the same as understanding reality.
The Seed represents the limits of computation: AI can analyze every branch, leaf & pattern of human thought (the external banyan tree), but it cannot supply the silent, conscious, lived reality from which true insight springs.
Accessing a library of 100 million texts does not make us a sage, just as downloading an entire database did not save Śvetaketu from his own ignorance.
@RailMinIndia please review the number of announcements in Vande Bharat trains. Each station gets 7-9 announcements in 3-4 languages making it sound like a train platform. It is extremely annoying. #vandebharat
