"Sir, this is my confirmed seat."

The passenger showed the ticket

PNR was confirmed,
coach matched,
seat number matched too.

But someone else was
already sitting there.

When the passenger
complained to the TTE,
the reply was

"I won’t do anything now,
the system will handle it.

This is an administrative matter."

And that’s where the alleged ‘TTE Game’ begins

where some Ticket Examiners

have been accused of reselling confirmed berths to
other travelers in exchange for bribes.

An ordinary passenger
books tickets months in advance

struggles for Tatkal bookings for hours

but some people
allegedly get berths with cash after the train starts moving.

Everyone knows this game exists.

Passengers know it.
Railway staff know it.

Yet every time,
the blame is shifted to the "system."

The saddest part ?

The ticket may belong to you
but sometimes the seat does not.

Has corruption become the new normal in Indian Railways ?

Manoj Madhusudhanan took a ₹1.86 crore home loan from ICICI Bank.

As collateral, he handed over his original property documents. Every homebuyer does this. You have no choice.

ICICI Bank sent those documents to their storage facility in Hyderabad via courier. Somewhere on that journey — Bangalore to Hyderabad — the documents vanished.

Gone. Originals. Irreplaceable.

When Manoj found out, ICICI Bank had one answer: it was the courier company's fault. Not ours.

He went to the Banking Ombudsman. They told ICICI to publish a public notice about the loss and pay him ₹25,000 for the trouble.

Twenty-five thousand rupees. For losing the original documents to a ₹1.86 crore property.

Manoj sent a legal notice. ICICI denied any mistake.

He went to the NCDRC.

The apex consumer court looked at the facts. The bank had taken custody of the documents. The bank had chosen the courier. The bank could not hand that liability to a third party and walk away.

ICICI Bank — India's second-largest private bank, ₹9 lakh crore in assets — was held liable. Ordered to obtain reconstructed certified copies, issue an indemnity bond, and pay ₹25 lakh in compensation.

One loan. One lost file. One bank that blamed the courier.

Save this — if your bank loses your original property documents, they cannot blame their courier agent. The documents were in their custody. The liability is theirs. File at your district consumer forum. The law is on your side.

PM is traveling abroad to secure investments and ensure energy security in this period of economic gloom due to various global wars. It is one thing to know that, as a contender of PM post over the last 16 years, you don't have the intellectual capacity to understand this. However, I am intrigued to see your irritation towards promoting a reputed Indian brand (Parle). Is it because you don't want Indian brands to be showcased on the global stage? Or are you disgruntled by your intelligence (or lack of it), which has kept you puzzled over why melody is chocolaty?

IIT Delhi to IIM Bangalore to IAS. I got the best education my country had to offer. It taught me how to crack tough exams and manage big responsibilities. But it never taught me how to quiet my own mind or handle loneliness. We spend many years learning how to achieve, but not a single day learning how to be happy.
My thoughts on what is missing in school education.

Emotional Regulation:
We memorized the periodic table, but no one explained the chemistry of a broken heart. School demanded we stay quiet, confusing silence with peace. Now, we don't know how to host our own storms without drowning in them. We feel lost because we were taught to suppress, not to process.

Deep Communication:
We were taught to write perfect essays, but not how to say "I’m hurting" or "No." While there is a strong emphasis on communication, we are not taught the vocabulary of the adult life. There is no course on how to stand our ground in face of bullying by a boss or how to protect our work boundaries by saying 'No'

Critical Thinking:
In school, the person with the most answers won. In life, the person with the most questions survives. This is the reason many adults can repeat opinions confidently without ever questioning where those opinions came from. We are told everything as the gospel truth. So we end up just following blindly

Financial Literacy:
We spent years learning maths and solving for x, but never learned how to keep ourselves from falling in a debt trap. Money isn't just about math; it’s about the dignity of choice. We do not learn how to use debt effectively without it controlling our freedom. How impulsive spending compounds over time, or how money affects stress, relationships, and mental peace. Financial literacy is missing because education often focuses on earning money someday, not managing it wisely once it arrives.

Self-Discipline
School is a world of bells and schedules. Someone else always tells you what to do and when. But adulthood is a world of total silence. We feel stuck because we were never taught how to push ourselves without a teacher watching. Discipline is simply the habit of keeping promises to yourself. This is a habit many of us are lacking

Handling Loneliness
In school, you are always shrouded by people. You never realize how loud the silence of adulthood can be until you’re in it. We feel lonely because we weren't taught how to be our own best friends. Peace is learning that being alone doesn't mean being lonely. It is a sacred space, not a sign of being unwanted.

Reading People
School is a time of innocence where friendships are often given to you. But as we go along, not everyone retains that purity. We feel cheated because we weren't taught to see the hidden intentions or the masks people wear. Reading people is the quiet wisdom of seeing the truth behind the words.

Mental Health Maintenance
We have gym class for our bodies, but nothing for our souls. We are taught to push through exhaustion to finish a project, which is exactly how we end up in burnout. Honoring your nervous system is the only way to make sure the light inside you doesn't go out. We should know when we are dealing with a stressor and unable to handle it anymore. We should know when to reach out for help if we feel that we are drowning in that distress

Knowing Yourself
We spend years trying to be the "best" student, only to realize we don't know who we are without a gold medal. We are left inadequate because we studied every subject except our own souls. The ultimate education is discovering what truly matters to you before the world tells you what to want.

“Bhai, I drive honestly all day… why are you treating me like a criminal?”

That’s what Nitesh Dwivedi kept saying with tears in his eyes.

Nitesh works as a driver in Delhi. Like every normal day, he had taken a passenger and parked his vehicle near a metro station.

Suddenly, a few police officers arrived.

“Show your first-aid kit.”

Nitesh immediately showed it.

Then they asked for his driving licence.
Nitesh opened DigiLocker and showed the digital licence issued under government rules.

But the officer refused.

“We don’t accept all this. Show the original document in hand.”

Nitesh tried explaining calmly that DigiLocker documents are legally valid in India.

The officer didn’t listen.

Instead, the situation became more aggressive.

According to Nitesh, the officer started threatening him — saying the vehicle would be seized and he would be sent to court.

Then things turned humiliating.

The officer allegedly grabbed Nitesh by the ear and pushed him.
A hardworking driver who had spent the entire day earning barely ₹3000 eventually broke down and cried.

And the worst part?

Nitesh claims the money he earned that day was also taken away.

Sadly, many online drivers in Delhi are now sharing similar experiences.
They say they are often harassed despite carrying valid DigiLocker documents, and are pressured simply because they don’t have physical originals with them.

A system meant to protect citizens should never become a reason for fear.

A Bank of India employee, sitting there in a red shirt, openly says —

“We won’t do your work… do whatever you can.”

This incident is from the Madhubani branch in Bihar.
A young man went there to open a bank account.
He has been living in Madhubani for the past 5 years, although his permanent home is in Darbhanga.

As per rules, a landlord’s electricity bill from the place where you currently live can be used as valid address proof.
The boy had carried exactly that…

Yet, the bank staff refused straightaway —
👉 “Your account won’t be opened here. Go to Darbhanga.”

The next day, when he returned with another person, the response suddenly changed —

👉 “The account will be opened, but not after 2 PM. That’s the rule.”

Sensing something wrong, the young man immediately called customer care from there.
And the truth came out —
❌ There is no such rule about 2 PM.

When the customer care executive spoke to the bank employee, he blatantly lied —
👉 “He doesn’t have a local address proof.”
Even though the young man was standing there holding the electricity bill.

As soon as the call ended, the same arrogant tone returned —
👉 “Do whatever you want… we will not open your account.”

This is not just negligence — it’s outright misconduct and abuse of power.

Strict action must be taken against such employees. Otherwise, common people will continue to suffer, and trust in the system will keep eroding.

Why I am so obsessed with @Lenskart_com and their lying CEO @peyushbansal ? I am obsessed with Lenskart because we Hindus have short memories. We flare up, we trend for a day, we forget. We move on.

Corporate India knows this. They have studied our pattern. They wait us out, before launching another anti-Hindu policy, another advertising campaign that demonises Hindu values.

Lenskart is not the disease. I know that Lenskart is just a symptom of the larger disease, of corporate India looking down upon Hindu culture and values. But you never ignore a symptom. You treat the symptom first, then you trace it back to its source. This is exactly what I am doing. Taking this matter to its logical conclusion, whether anyone stands with me or not.

A few years ago, I started #NoBindiNoBusiness alone.
No big handles. No political parties. No Hindu organisations supported me. All I got at first was ridicule, abuse, trolling. But then, something miraculous happened, ordinary Hindus, from Delhi to Dibrugarh supported me. They were tired of being invisible in their own land, tired of their sacred symbols being erased by the very brands that profit from them. The campaign became a success, everyone knows that.

This is another battle from the same war for cultural identity. I have been called obsessed before. I have been abused before. I have been ridiculed before. But what I have is tenacity.

I have been called a lone warrior tilting at windmills. But some windmills are real monsters. And someone has to fight them. Someone has to stay. Someone has to refuse to be distracted by the next outrage, the next news cycle.

I am not going anywhere.

Mock me. Troll me. Laugh at me. Every taunt sharpens my resolve. Every dismissal reminds me why this matters. I have a voice. I have presence. I have credibility and I know how to use it, for this cause, on this battlefield, until there is a result worth recording.

The question is not whether I will see this through. The question is, will all of you? #AntiHinduLenskart

ONE SOLDIER. ONE KHUKURI. 40 CRIMINALS. ZERO FEAR. 🇮🇳🔥

In September 2010, aboard the Maurya Express near Chittaranjan, a gang of 30–40 armed robbers turned a moving train into a mobile hell looting passengers and attempting to gang-rape an 18-year-old girl in front of her parents.

Panic. Screams. Helplessness everywhere.

And then ONE man stood up.

Gurkha soldier Bishnu Prasad Shrestha.
Indian Army.

No backup.
No weapon except his khukuri.
No hesitation.

He charged straight into the mob.

What followed was sheer terror — for the criminals.

• 3 attackers killed
• 8 brutally injured
• Entire gang fled for their lives

Bleeding, wounded, yet standing — he saved the girl, crushed the attackers, and restored fear where it belonged: inside criminals’ hearts.

This wasn’t a battlefield.
This wasn’t duty hours.
This was instinct. This was dharma. This was the Gurkha spirit.

When 40 cowards hunted the helpless,
ONE Indian soldier became death itself.

This is what real heroism looks like.
This is what Indian Army blood stands for.
This is why Gurkhas are feared in war and revered in peace.

SALUTE TO BISHNU PRASAD SHRESTHA.
SALUTE TO THE INDIAN ARMY. 🔥

In last 2 weeks:

1) Rajasthan: A factory producing adulterated milk using soybean oil, Dalda ghee and other chemical powders was busted in Diggi town. The factory supplied about 80,000 litres daily to markets in Jaipur, Ajmer and Tonk.

2) Gujarat: A factory producing over 1800 liters of milk daily using detergent and urea fertilizer was busted in Sabarkantha district.

This will not stop until India introduces the death penalty for mafias involved in food adulteration & fake medicines. It is costing lives, causing cancer, organ failure, and more.

These are not mere violations; they are profits built on human suffering and death.

As a respected and trusted financial institution with a long-standing legacy, Saraswat Bank has always been seen as a responsible corporate entity.
