One more vaaila vanthurum TVK manifesto promise. They claimed TANGEDCO has 16% AT&C losses and promised to reduce them to 10% Reality? TN AT&C losses have already fallen from 14.26% in FY21 to 11.85% in FY25.
No one really fact checked it. Even I ignored it at the time. Formula is simple... create a fake crisis, sell yourself as the saviour and it worked 🚶
/#DMK regime cannot wash its hands off responsibility either. Years of poor planning, inadequate infrastructure upgrades/
Slippers varum
TANGEDCO was literally awarded an A grade ranking among DISCOMs in India based on the services it provided, along with 24hr uninterrupted power supply for industries. Whats happening now is due to a lack of power procurement, cancellation of tenders and peak summer demand. In the last five years, such disruptions were relatively rare. These narratives are just an attempt to whitewash their own shortcomings...
யாராவது ஒரு ஆசிரியரின் ஆர்வக்கோளாறால் பள்ளியில் ஆன்மீக பிரச்சாரம் ந��ந்தாலே தமிழ்நாடு அல்லோலகல்லோலப்படும். அரசு விளக்கமளித்து பணி இடமாற்றம், இடைநீக்கம்னு போன��ிறகும் டாபிக் ஓயாமல் ஒலித்துக்கொண்டிருக்கும்.
ஊடகங்களும் சனநாயக சக்திகளும் அப்படியொரு அறச்சீற்றத்தில் இருப்பார்கள். ம்ம் அதெல்லாம் ஒரு காலம். இப்ப பாருங்க ஆளுங்கட்சி படிக்கற குழந்தைகள வெச்சு புள்ள புடிக்கற வேலை பாத்துட்டுருக்கு. பூராப்பயலும் சோபால படுத்துட்டு வெரல் சூப்பிட்டிருக்கான். பதிலளிக்க வேண்டிய முதல்மிச்சர் மல்லாக்கப்படுத்துட்டு விட்டத்த பாத்துட்டுருப்பார். How cute ல 🥰
Have been quiet on this topic, just so it doesn't create a bad image for the state... But look at the narrative. Mobis plant is completely gone, yet there has been no review meeting press release by the CM or the Industries Minister. No official press statement from the government so far. Only the company has put out some PR posts 🫠
Way back in 2019, I reported extensively about the Globarena Intermediate marks fiasco in Telangana.
In fact, I had run a major campaign on my media company Mojo TV. We were the first TV channel up pick the story too.
23 students died by suicide, I spoke with all their families and it was truly heartbreaking.
I remember one particular case where a single mother who worked as a farm labour was very proud of her bright daughter. The entire village came to support her education, everyone pitched in with books, commute and all expenses. When the Globarena marks mess up happened, she cried the whole night. Her mother told her it is okay, and she can go for reevaluation or write the exam again, morning the mother wakes up to see her daughter hanging in the middle of the house.
I had demanded blacklisting Globarena, arresting the officials. But I guess companies like Globarena are pests that never die, they just transform into something bigger and dangerous and come back to haunt.
Globarena now has become Coempt Edu Teck that messed-up the CBSE evaluation.
Globarena in 2019 messed up results of 9.74 lakh students in Telangana. Out of this total, approximately 3.8 lakh students failed. 23 suicides were reported. Back then too Globarena failed to provide the answer sheets.
After all this, Globarena transforms into Coempt Edu Teck, messes up the future of 18.5 lakh CBSE students across the country.
It is almost like they got rewarded for bad behaviour.
The officials who were giving approvals for CBSE just 74 days prior knew the history of Coempt Edu Teck. They knew the company is incompetent, but still decided to go ahead and give them the tender.
Yes, the Globarena/ Coempt Edu Teck guys are fabulous at landing tenders. The names and associations of Coempt Edu Teck board now seem to run pretty deep in the highest offices.
Unless the rot is burnt right from the root level, this won’t stop. All board members, directors, CEO, investors, government employees that tweaked the system to ensure Coempt Edu Teck got the contract should be dragged to the courts & never should be allowed near any business again.
But in this country that is so much in love with corruption, I doubt if this will ever change. Coempt Edu Teck may soon get the tender for all exams across the country.
PS: To all the students, one exam is not the end. Kudos to your fight. Keep fighting, never ever give up.
And if you are feeling low, speak with friends and family or reach out to any helplines.

This is an unbelievable piece of work by Sarthak and something that requires amplification.
Let me explain what he found, in simple terms.
Sarthak is a Class 12 student from the 2025-26 batch, one of the 17 lakh students whose answer sheets went through CBSE's new On-Screen Marking system.
He spent days reading through CBSE's evaluation tenders, scraped all 576 tenders CBSE has issued, and tracked how the rules changed across three versions of the same tender.
The core finding is that the company that won the contract to scan and grade 17 lakh students' answer sheets is Coempt Eduteck.
Coempt used to be called Globarena Technologies. Globarena was the company behind the 2019 Telangana intermediate exam disaster, where software failures led to 3.8 lakh students getting wrong or missing marks, and 23 students died by suicide.
A government committee found systemic failure and negligence. Six months later, Globarena rebranded to Coempt Eduteck.
So a company with that track record won a contract to handle 17 lakh CBSE students. Sarthak's investigation is about how the rules were rewritten to let that happen.
The tender was issued three times.
> First tender, February 2025. It existed, then disappeared from the public GeM portal. Sarthak scraped all 576 CBSE tenders and this one was missing from the archive entirely.
> Second tender, May 2025. Four companies applied including TCS and Coempt. All four failed the technical evaluation. Cancelled.
> Third tender, August 2025. Coempt won. Between the second and third tender, a series of rule changes happened, and every single one made it easier for Coempt to qualify.
Here is what changed, one by one.
01. The old rules disqualified any company with a history of abandoning work, failing to complete contracts, or financial weakness. The new rules deleted this clause entirely. Coempt's Telangana history stopped being a barrier.
02. The old rules disqualified any company that was "blacklisted earlier." The new rules changed this to "currently blacklisted." Because Globarena rebranded after Telangana, removing the word "earlier" effectively erased their past.
03. The rules required Rs 50 crore average turnover over three years. Coempt's exact average came to Rs 50.86 crore. They cleared the bar by less than 1%. Earlier, a smaller company had asked CBSE to lower the bar to Rs 30 crore for fairer competition. CBSE refused. So the bar was kept high enough to block small players, but sat exactly low enough for Coempt to scrape through.
04. Software maturity is measured on the CMMI scale, 1 to 5. The old rules required Level 5. The new rules dropped it to Level 3. Coempt is a Level 3 company.
05. The cooling-off period for engaging retired CBSE officials was cut from two years to one. This makes it easier to use recently retired insiders to influence the process.
06. The old rules required experience with large projects of at least 5 lakh students each. The new rules removed the student count and counted cumulative answer-book volume across small projects instead. Coempt has many small fragmented university contracts. This helped Coempt and hurt TCS.
07. The old rules required bidders to own their own data centre and disaster recovery centre on Indian soil. The new rules allowed third-party MeitY-empanelled cloud hosting. Coempt runs on AWS and Azure. This helped Coempt and hurt TCS, which owns its own data centres. It also means student data is no longer on sovereign, Indian infrastructure.
08. The old rules required the bidder to own or control the complete source code of its software. The new rules deleted this. Coempt's platform runs on Microsoft's proprietary IIS, which they don't own.
09. A last-minute corrigendum, issued right before bid submission, removed CBSE's own power to blacklist the firm if its software failed catastrophically. So even a Telangana-scale failure couldn't get Coempt banned from future government tenders.
10. The penalty structure shifted from punishing mistakes to punishing delays. The old rules fined the vendor for wrong scanning, merged pages, and unscanned books. The new rules dropped those and instead levied Rs 50,000 per day for delays. This incentivises rushed scanning over accurate scanning.
11. The old rules had a hard accuracy threshold, error rate not to exceed 0.5%. The new rules removed this number entirely.
12. The old rules specified proper book and robotics scanners. The new rules just say "sufficient scanners." The definition was vague enough that, as Sarthak notes, the scanning could be done with a phone on a stand.
13. On the security side, the contract required a VAPT (vulnerability and penetration test) certified by CERT-In before go-live, and a restricted beta phase before launch. The system clearly wasn't restricted, because the other researcher, Nisarga, was able to access it and find vulnerabilities four days before go-live. So the mandatory security audit appears to have been bypassed.
These are more than a dozen rule changes, all between the failed tender and the winning tender, all pushing in the same direction, all benefiting the one company with the worst track record in the field.
The security holes Nisarga found last week now have an explanation. The system was built by a vendor that was specifically allowed to skip the security certification, the source code ownership, the data sovereignty, and the quality thresholds the original rules demanded.
Following things need to happen immediately;
1. An immediate CAG audit of the tender process.
2. A parliamentary debate on the topic.
3. An independent investigation into
> Why the first tender vanished?
> Why the disqualification clauses were deleted?
> Why the turnover bar was held exactly where it was?
> Why the security level was dropped?
> Why the blacklisting power was removed at the last moment?
Sarthak, this is genuinely exceptional investigative work. Far better than most journalists with full resources ever manage. Take a bow. :)

To all the journalists talking about the ADMK-DMK alliance, where are you getting the magic number of 118?
DMK - 59
Admk - 47
Total = 106
Let's say IUML sticks with DMK then the tally is 108 again! (What's with 108 I don't know!)
Now for the remaining 10 - PMK 4, DMDK 1, AMMK 1
Total = 114.
VCK, CPI, CPM won't come to this alliance! Since PMK is present
Alternatively if all of the existing SPA and 50 of ADMK+AMMK will still be 115.
If you ask a 3rd standard child, it will tell you mathematically it is not possible! But all you educated journalists are sitting and debating it out for days!

Breaking News -
Sources inside the CPIM and VCK have made some shocking revelations!
CPIM and VCK leaders wanted written assurances from Vijay on the following factors
1. No support in future to NDA parties in the future - Vijay was ok !
2. No support for PM Shri 1 and NEP - Vijay said he cannot commit !
3. No lottery and gambling in Tamilnadu - Vijay refused to accept the same !
4. Don’t cancel Naan Mudhalvan , Tamil Pudhalvan and Tamil Pudhalvi schemes - vijay said he cannot commit !
5. No supporting NDA schemes in future- Vijay said he cannot commit until CBI case concludes !
Since their 5 point common minimum program did not meet largely , the VCK and The left are confused if Vijay’s anti BJP stand is a hog wash !!!
Bottom line - Vijay is a coward and slave of the BJP , the left and VCK have seen through his secular drama ! He is planning a sympathy wave !
Highlight of the Meeting - It was Vijay’s astrologer who did most of the talking 😬
Ena da idellam? I was really happy reading that an auto driver was given a seat and he actually won. Adhuvum poi ah 😭
@DrGanesh_Japan @elchapguzman @jothims Are you asking a congress party member to work at ground level? 😂😅😅
Can enlighten why how he is an antidote considering he is contesting from two places especially for one of the reason that you mentioned as toxic? 4 word english ae pesira vendiathu
The reason I am so thrilled about Vijay's politics is that his ideas are refreshingly universalist. He's an antidote to the toxic identity politics of caste /religion/ language /race. It's about time we had an identity agnostic voice of sanity.
Apa kooda avaru hardwork pana mataru.. veetla irunthu video matum tan poduvaru.. makkal ozaikanum ivaruku😂
ஒன்னும் ஆகாது - தோத்துட்டார்னு நெனச்சு IT விங் வச்சு நோண்டுவீங்க , அவருடைய தனிப்பட்ட வாழ்க்கையை இழுத்து கேவலம் பண்ண நெனைப்பீங்க , உன்ன ம���றி நாய்கள் குறைக்கும் .
மக்கள் பார்த்து கடுப்பாகி , எல்லாரும் ஒன்னு சேர்ந்து , தனி மெஜாரிட்டில முதல்வர் ஆக்கிடுவாங்க அடுத்த தேர்தல்ல !!
உங்க வாய் போதும் - விஜய் முதல்வர் ஆக !
already, then cherish them. If we had them and not now, he/she should be the first person that we need to talk to. That’s how life goes, it will not be always one way!!
IMHO, In our 20’s or 30’s one of the guy will be free(not completely but atleast free of certain commitments) but in 40’s everybody would be in a similar state. So having friends(not colleagues) in office is one way or calling our friends is another thing that can keep us out of
Confessions and realities
42M, 55LPA
I am a 42-year-old man with a senior job in IT. I have a house in Chennai, a supportive wife, and two children. On paper, everything about my life looks perfect. I have achieved all the things society says a man should achieve.
In my twenties, life felt different. I had friends to spend time with. We would hang out at Marina Beach and Besant Nagar beach, watch movies at Rohini, Udayam, and Kasi theatres, and ride around Mount Road on my RX100.
In my thirties, I had colleagues to talk with over tea breaks. We would discuss apartments, onsite trips, and share random stories about life and work.
But now, in my forties, life has turned into a quiet routine. My phone rarely rings for anything personal. Most calls are about office work, bank alerts, or someone from home asking me to pick up milk on the way back.
The loneliness of a man in his forties is unusual. I am not physically alone, but I often feel like a machine.
When I enter my home, I am simply “Appa.” I am the person who pays school fees, fixes the Wi-Fi, and handles repairs. My wife is busy with her work and the kids. My children are teenagers now, living in their own worlds and their own rooms. They love me, but they mostly see me as the person who provides comfort and stability. They no longer see me as an individual.
At the office, I am the senior person. I am expected to have all the answers. I cannot tell my team that I feel tired. I cannot tell my boss that I sometimes struggle to keep up with new technologies. I must appear confident and strong, even when I quietly worry about the future.
Sometimes I drive home slowly from work just to spend a few extra minutes in the car. I listen to songs from my college days.
For those fifteen minutes, I am not a manager or a father. I am simply myself again.
I realize that I have not had a real conversation about my feelings with anyone in years.
My old friends now exist mostly as names on WhatsApp. We send “Happy Birthday” or “Congratulations” messages, but rarely talk. When we meet at weddings, our conversations revolve around our children’s grades or the cars we drive. We never talk about what we actually feel.
The hardest part is that I cannot even complain. If I tell my family that I feel lonely, they look confused and say, “But we are all here with you.”
They do not understand that a person can be surrounded by people and still feel like they are on a desert island.
Society teaches men that if they provide money and security, they have succeeded in life.
But no one teaches us how to deal with the silence that comes with it.
I have built a beautiful life for everyone around me, but sometimes it feels like there is no space left for me inside it.
And maybe… this is what life in your forties feels like.
this. Because in our early days there is no need for us to call someone either they ll call us or we happen meet them randomly but at this stage, it won’t happen. So one of the guy has to be ‘that’ person who groups the other guys for a chit chat. If we happen to have one of them
