Some moments test a pilot’s skill. Some test his courage. And some reveal the very character of a human being.
Captain Smit Machchhar faced terror at 14,000 feet and chose to fight. Salute to the extraordinary courage.
Q. Why is CEC Gyanesh Kumar the only Indian with lifelong blanket legal immunity?
A. Because PM Modi uses him to steal elections.

“If you do not acquire the fine art of suppressing your ego when you are young, it will surely overtake you when you are older, after which it will become an incurable disease…. … Human beings are not born humble, and the tendency to show off is congenital, but it has to be suppressed.”
- Fali S. Nariman [Before Memory Fades, Chapter 1, The Great Trek]
Because my wife has her salary account with @TheOfficialSBI, about a year ago some local SBI officials almost fell over themselves trying to persuade her to take a credit card.
She kept resisting, but eventually agreed on one condition: she would decide whether to activate it after receiving the card. We were specifically told that there would be no fee if the card was not activated, and that there would be no charges during the first year in any case.
The card arrived. She never opened it. It remained sealed in the original envelope for almost a year.
Then, one evening few days ago, she suddenly received a message saying that ₹3,538 would be auto-debited from her account the next day.
She immediately contacted the official who had persuaded her to take the card. The official was equally surprised and even visited our home to see for herself that the card was still sealed in its original envelope. My wife had never activated or used the card.
The official helped her connect with SBI's online helpline, where she was assured that the amount would be reversed within a few days. The next day ₹3,538 was deducted from her account.
Today, five days after, however, my wife received a message saying that her request for annual fee reversal of ₹2,999 had been approved.
So what happened to the remaining ₹539 that was deducted?
Even the SBI official who helped us has no explanation for this deduction.
What kind of “dadagiri” is this, @SBICard_Connect?
First, you charge a customer for a card that was never activated or used. Then, when the customer complains, you reverse only a part of the amount deducted -without explaining the balance.
This is simply not acceptable.
@TheOfficialSBI @SBICard_Connect, please take cognisance of this matter immediately, explain the ₹539 deduction, and ensure that the entire amount deducted is refunded.
A bank cannot build customer trust by making customers fight to get back money they should never have been charged in the first place.

The Indian Express exposé has deepened public concerns about the credibility of the Election Commission. The three Commissioners must function transparently, collegially and within the law. Public trust in the ECI is indispensable to the legitimacy of free and fair elections.
My mother was around 70 in 2002, and she passed away a few years later. So her age froze.
24 years later, I get an SIR notice saying me to explain how I am <= 15 years of my mother's age!!
Extraordinary software checks they have.
The Election Commission is a multi member regulator. It cannot become the mouthpiece of its Chief Election Commissioner alone.
If two members of a three-member constitutional Commission repeatedly say they were not consulted, can it be said decisions over objections were on behalf or for the Commission?
मोरल पुलिसिंग होनी ही क्यों चाहिए? जो मनचले, मनबढू, लफूए एक लड़की को जीवन भर की मानसिक पीड़ा दे गए, वे मोरल पुलिसिंग करने के अधिकारी हैं?
और कौन ऐसा लंपट है जिसे लगता है कि वह इतना पाक - साफ है कि उसे यह अधिकार मिलना चाहिए?
जमुई की घटना आपराधिक घटना है। बच्चे वहां क्यों गए? शाम में क्यों गए? यह सब सवाल करने वाले लंंपट रेप की मानसिकता को बढ़ावा दे रहे हैं। वे बराबर के दोषी हैं। बस।
What happened in Jamui Bihar and the reactions of those in power should make us uncomfortable for reasons that go beyond this terrible incident.
Two young people were surrounded by a group that decided they had the right to attack them.
And those in power dismiss it as a stray incident or portray previous governments being worse makes it pathetic. This is bigger than politics.
Police can make arrests after the event, but preventive action and good governance is a basic right.
जिस तरह लोग (“लिबरल” और तमाम लोग ) राहुल गांधी की हर सभा के एक एक पॉइंट को नोट करते हैं फिर “आहत “ होने का “बहाना” खोजा जाता है,फिर “पोलिटिकल डिस्कोर्स” पर लंबा चौड़ा ज्ञान दिया जाता है कि सही है क्या ग़लत है,काश इसका आधा मानक भी दूसरे पब्लिक डिस्कोर्स पर लागू करते/सवाल करते तो सूरत बदल चुकी होती! पब्लिक डिसोर्स सुधार चुका होता!
दरअसल इन्हें “डिस्कोर्स” से मतलब नहीं है। मतलब/एजेंडा कुछ और है!
For the record: 80% of Indians are non-vegetarian.

Satya Niketan Has Become the Hostel Delhi Never Built
Delhi needs an online student housing registry, graded safety regulation, and one lakh new student beds in five years.
The Satya Niketan incident is not just a story about a five-storey building collapse, the deaths of seven students, and injuries to several others. The screams of students buried under the debris are a haunting manifestation of a full-blown student-housing crisis in Delhi. The crisis did not begin last week. The incident merely made visible what Delhi has ignored for decades. Delhi has a vast network of colleges and academic institutions without adequate, safe residential infrastructure.
For a few days, media hubbub will centre on shock and condolences, high-profile visits, suspended officials, FIRs, arrests, and promises to inspect PGs better. After every tragedy, the ritual of seeking accountability is played out with diligence. A few weeks later, we wait for the next tragedy. This is shameful.
When Student Demand Meets Institutional Failure
Delhi University alone has only 7,000 hostel beds for its 2.5 lakh regular students, more than half of whom come from outside Delhi. Only about 6% of these students get a university or college hostel bed.
Accommodation can determine whether students, especially girls, can afford higher education or fully access college facilities. Student housing must be viewed as education infrastructure. The university may provide students with subsidised education and often outsources the responsibility for student housing to neighbourhoods outside its gates.
Satya Niketan, a modest resettlement colony, has transformed itself into a residential wing of South Campus colleges. This institutional shortage has created this informal PG economy with weak oversight. It is often supported by a regulatory ecosystem vulnerable to corruption. In a distorted market like this, students lose almost all bargaining power. They are forced to accept high rents, additional electricity charges, crammed rooms, dingy pathways, and dirty bathrooms as the norm.
Landlords Get the Premium, Students Carry the Risk
For a student from an affluent Delhi family, admission is admission. For a student from a middle-class or lower-income family in Bihar, Rajasthan, UP, J&K, or the Northeast, it is admission plus rent, security deposit, brokerage, commuting, safety concerns, and uncertainty. The hostel shortage functions as an additional tuition fee.
Landlords exploit the demand-supply gap. They charge a premium for proximity. They add floors, divide rooms, and squeeze in extra beds at will. But they rarely invest this additional income in improving safety or conducting independent structural audits. Students carry the risks every day. An 18-year-old arriving in Delhi can check the bed, bathroom, fan, and kitchen. But they rarely get the answers for structural safety, legality, and permitted occupancy.
The problem extends far beyond Satya Niketan. Mukherjee Nagar, Kamla Nagar, Katwaria Sarai, Laxmi Nagar, and Jamia Nagar have variations of the same model. A high-density student-housing economy operates inside neighbourhoods never designed for such loads.
In the early 2000s, I spent four undergraduate years in one such neighbourhood—Shakarpur in East Delhi. Two decades later, student housing remains remarkably similar: informal, unsafe, unhygienic, and overcrowded. The student housing market rewards density but does not price safety.
One major earthquake could create thousands of Satya Niketan-type collapses in Delhi. One major fire in one of these dense neighbourhoods could turn into a catastrophe. That day is unimaginable, but possible.
Regulation Without Supply Will Not Work
Structural audits, safety certificates, and inspections of PG hostels are not emergency responses. These are part of the basic safety framework for any kind of housing and should be conducted periodically. Do we really need the High Court to direct the Municipal Corporation to perform its basic function of examining permissions and violations of building bye-laws? Do we even have an adequate legal framework to regulate student housing? Satya Niketan has raised many such questions.
Knee-jerk reactions such as sudden crackdowns or the closure of existing PGs in one neighbourhood are not solutions. Where will those students go? If we squeeze a balloon at one end, we can expect the pressure to move elsewhere. Similarly, regulation without creating additional supply can worsen the situation.
The Way Forward: Map It, Make It Safe, Fix the Shortage
I would not make the mistake of framing the Satya Niketan catastrophe simply as individual misconduct. Satya Niketan exposes institutional failures on three fronts—an information failure, a regulatory failure, and, above all, a supply failure. Delhi therefore needs three corresponding solutions—map the market, make existing housing safe, and build the missing hostel beds.
First, map the market by creating an Online Student Housing Registry covering every student-housing facility. All basic information, including structural certification, fire and electrical safety compliance, permitted occupancy, rent, electricity charges, and other fees, must be made available in one place.
A student looking for accommodation should be able to enter an address on a website or an app and find out its safety and certification status. At the very least, the online registry will begin to correct the information gap students face today.
Second, make it safe by introducing a Graded Regulation System. I would think of it as a simple green, yellow, orange, and red safety-labelling mechanism.
Green-flagged properties should be certified for occupation and undergo periodic inspections. Yellow-flagged properties should have rectifiable deficiencies and should be given strict deadlines to meet the safety framework and undergo rigorous reinspection.
Orange-flagged properties may be structurally weak but repairable. They should be vacated in a planned manner and repaired before being allowed to reopen. Red-flagged properties, with imminent structural or fire risks, should be closed immediately. If a building is beyond repair, it should be demolished. The purpose of regulation is to make student accommodation safer, not to launch an indiscriminate sealing drive.
Delhi Needs a Student Housing Mission
Lastly, the biggest challenge is fixing the shortage. Delhi needs a Student Housing Mission. We cannot solve a shortage of two lakh hostel beds by adding another 500-room hostel at a time. The solution has to match the scale of the problem.
Delhi needs one lakh new hostel beds in the next five years, located on or well connected to campuses. At least one-third should be reserved for women. The mission would require an investment of roughly ₹20,000 crore. That is ₹4,000 crore annually, and it need not be funded entirely from the exchequer.
Universities, DDA, MCD, the Delhi Government, and the Central Government can come together to form a Joint Action Group to raise resources and execute the mission. Universities can expand existing hostels. DDA and MCD can examine vacant buildings for conversion into student accommodation and pool additional land. The Delhi and Union governments can provide necessary capital. Regulated private developers can also be brought in. What is needed is one mission that connects all these pieces.
Delhi has built a Metro network of more than 350 kilometres, is undertaking a ₹20,000-crore Central Vista redevelopment, and has spent nearly ₹100 crore repairing 70 ministerial bungalows. Surely Delhi can find the resources to build safe housing for students. The constraint is not Delhi’s capability to build. It is what Delhi chooses to build.
Satya Niketan should change the debate. The scale of the solution must finally match the scale of the problem. Not another round of blame games, sealing drives, and forgotten promises.
The question is no longer simply who violated which building bye-laws. There is a more uncomfortable question. How did Delhi build universities and colleges for lakhs of students but forget to build places for them to sleep?
Satya Niketan has become the hostel Delhi never built. Delhi should now build them. One lakh safe, affordable student-housing beds in the next five years!!!

The ability to effectively cross-examine
1) The investigating Officer
2) The Doctor
3) The Victim/Informant
Single handedly the most important facet of Litigation. The ability to make a tutored witness spill the truth or break, is real Litigation.
Rest all is word-smithing.

It's high time for DU to rise for Hostels in Campus. 40+ acres of land is allocated & available for Hostels. DU is one of the biggest universities. PMs CMs have been ignoring this demand for Hostels since long now! Start #HostelDo

गुजरात में कुछ ऐसी अनाम पार्टियां हैं जिनका नाम किसी ने नहीं सुना - लेकिन 4300 करोड़ का चंदा मिला!
इन पार्टियों ने बहुत ही कम मौकों पर चुनाव लड़ा है, या उनपर खर्च किया है।
ये हजारों करोड़ आए कहां से? चला कौन रहा है इन्हें? और पैसा गया कहां?
क्या चुनाव आयोग जांच करेगा - या फिर यहां भी पहले एफिडेविट मांगेगा? या फिर कानून ही बदल देगा, ताकि ये डेटा भी छिपाया जा सके?

Putting aside whether the advertisement got the festival itself right or wrong, I find the debate around the women’s clothing rather curious.
If clothing is being questioned in the name of "Indian culture", have we stopped to look at our own history?
The sculptures at Konark. The Ellora caves. The Dancing Girl from the Indus Valley civilization.
Some of them are among the oldest windows we have into how people in this land lived, dressed and expressed themselves.
So I wonder how we arrived at such a narrow idea of what is “appropriate” for an Indian woman to wear.
We should know our traditions well. We should also know our history well enough to understand that Indian culture has never been as simple or as restrictive as we some make it out to be.
Perhaps we just need to be a little more aware of our own history before deciding what needs to be protected in its name.
The officials should be held liable for contempt of Hon'ble SC's order. The citizens can't be abandoned like this.
