SHEETAL DEVI BECOMING WORLD CHAMPION 🏆🥺

India's First Ever Individual Para World Champion! 🇮🇳

#Pune is the 4th largest goods exporter in the country (top in engineering goods export).

Mumbai at the 3rd spot.

(Note - this doesn't include services (IT, etc.) exports).

No surprise - Jamnagar is at the top spot (refined petroleum).

Kanchipuram at the 2nd spot (smartphones).

⏱️ 44 SECONDS. THAT IS ALL IT TAKES. 🇮🇳🔥

Imagine an entire grid square (1km x 1km) vanishing in less than a minute. No warning. No escape.

The Pinaka MBRL isn’t just an artillery system. It is a Grid Eraser.

While the world hypes up billion-dollar missiles, India’s DRDO has perfected the art of "Affordable Mass Destruction." Here is why the Pinaka is the ultimate battlefield nightmare:

1. The "Salvo" Doctrine ⚡️
Modern wars are won by volume.
Pinaka Mk-1 fires 12 rockets in just 44 seconds.
A single battery (6 launchers) can fire 72 rockets in under a minute.
It overwhelms enemy air defense systems (Iron Dome) simply by throwing more metal than they can intercept.

2. From Unguided to Sniper Precision 🎯
The old Pinaka sprayed rockets to cover an area. The NEW Guided Pinaka (LRGR) acts like a sniper rifle for artillery.
-->Range Jumped from 40km (Mk-1) → 75km (Mk-2) → 120km (New Guided Variant).
-->It uses GPS + Inertial Navigation to hit high-value targets (Command posts, depots) deep behind enemy lines.

3. Shoot. Scoot. Survive 💨
In the drone age, if you stay still, you die. The Pinaka is built for Shoot and Scoot.
-->Park.
-->Unleash 12 rockets.
-->Move location before the first rocket even hits the target. By the time the enemy counter-battery radar detects the launch, the Pinaka is already gone.

4. The "Silent" Export King 🌍
Why did Armenia choose Pinaka over other global systems? Because it works in the mountains (Kargil proven), it’s rugged, and it doesn't cost a fortune. It is arguably the best value-for-money artillery system on the planet right now.
-->Azerbaijan is backed by Pakistan and Turkey (The "Three Brothers" drills).
-->Pakistan supplies(Chinese Trash) to Azerbaijan; therefore, India has a strategic interest in supporting Armenia.

5. The French Connection? 🇫🇷
It is rare for a P5 nation to look at Indian hardware, but reports suggest France is evaluating the Pinaka system to replace its aging M270s. If this deal goes through, it will be the biggest stamp of approval for Indian Defense Tech in history.

6. The "Cost vs. Kill" Ratio 💸
-->Western systems (like HIMARS) are elite but incredibly expensive to operate.
-->The Pinaka offers a fraction of the cost for massive firepower.
-->For a nation with a tight defense budget facing a larger enemy (like Armenia 🇦🇲), the Pinaka is the perfect equalizer. It is rugged, reliable, and affordable.

The Pinaka creates a "Wall of Fire" that no army wants to walk into. It is 100% Indigenous. It is lethal. And it is ready.

3 Bengaluru police inspectors suspended after a major mephedrone racket was busted by Maharashtra Police, exposing laxity and dereliction of duty at the local level.

It’s deeply embarrassing that an interstate force had to crack a racket operating in the city while local cops either (willfully?)missed or failed to act. And city is already battling a synthetic-drug surge.

Hope it is a grave failure by specific officers, not evidence of a system-wide rot.

We earlier had instance of a cop masterminding a heist. And cops being suspended for armed robbery, smuggling etc (check QTs)

A bridge built in 2019 between Balewadi and Wakad in Pune at a cost of ₹31 crore still remains unused because the connecting road was never completed. Officials could not acquire the land needed for the approach road on the Balewadi side, leaving the bridge without access for vehicles.
Commuters now take a 7-km detour every day, adding up to an hour to their travel time. The Bombay High Court has directed authorities to complete the formalities and open the bridge for public use.

[Ramanajyothi @Searchof_WhoamI]

Once a devotee asked Bhagavan about the significance of fasting. With a benevolent look towards him, Bhagavan said,
“If all the activities of the indriyas are given up, the mind becomes single-pointed. When such a mind gets concentrated on God, it is real upavasam (fasting).

‘Upa’ means being near;
‘vasam’ means living.
Where is he going to live?
He will live in his Self.
Desires are the food for the mind. Giving them up is upavasam.

If there are no desires whatsoever there is no such thing as mind.
What remains then is the Self. One who can ‘fast’ the mind, need not ‘fast’ the body,” said Bhagavan.

The same devotee asked again,
“Why is it that people say that one should perform yagnas, yagas, abhishekas, pujas and the like and fast on such occasions?”

Bhagavan replied,
“That is secondary. For those who cannot manage to fast the mind as aforesaid, fasting of the body has been suggested so as to purify the mind. For those who cannot do even that, i.e., fasting, bhajan and sankeertanam have been suggested. All that is to the good.”

I assure every Matua and Namasudra family that we will always serve them. They are not here at the mercy of TMC. They have the right to live in India with dignity thanks to the CAA, which our Government brought. We will do even more for the Matua and Namasudra communities once a BJP Government takes oath in West Bengal.

POLYGAMY IN INDIA:

A Female Professor, Arfa Begum, was invited for a lecture and the topic she chose to talk about was polygamy.

She talked on the benefits of polygamy, why women should embrace it & support their husbands towards achieving it.

As she kept emphasising on this topic, a lady from the audience raised her hand, stood up and introduced herself before speaking.

Lady: "Professor, I really appreciate this topic because am relieved of my fear, I never knew you are this simple and understanding. Your message has given me the opportunity to open up to you."

She cleared her throat & continued....

"I have been married to your husband for the past four years, and between us, we have a set of twins."

To the greatest surprise of all in the hall, the Professor, Arfa, fainted and was rushed to the hospital.

After she was revived, she opened her eyes to see same lady standing by her bedside.

Lady: Professor I don't know who your husband is. I just lied to you to see if you can handle what you preach to others. Next time, please pick on subjects that you are good at. Don’t stand up on a stage and throw your shit around just because you have the title professor in front of your name.

The Vaishnavas of Srirangam – The Night Ranganatha Refused to Be Taken

The year was 1311 CE.

Malik Kafur’s banners were already drinking blood in the south.

Madurai had fallen.
Chidambaram trembled.
Srirangam stood next — the living heart of Sri Vaishnavism.

The Kaveri flowed quietly that night.
Too quietly.

Inside the vast corridors of the Ranganathaswamy Temple, lamps burned low.

Not in panic.
In preparation.

The priests of Srirangam knew the pattern.

Invaders did not come for stone.
They came to humiliate faith.

And Ranganatha was not a symbol.

He was seva itself — daily rituals, living presence, unbroken worship.

No army would defend Him.
No walls would stop fire.

So the Vaishnavas chose movement.

Under cover of darkness, the utsava murti — the walking form of Ranganatha — was lifted.

Silk replaced gold.
Mantras replaced music.

No conch was blown.

Because survival does not announce itself.

Through river crossings, forest paths, and villages that spoke only whispers,
Ranganatha moved south.

Away from records.
Away from conquest.
Away from the satisfaction of destruction.

By morning, Malik Kafur’s men entered Srirangam.

They broke pillars.
They shattered halls.
They proclaimed victory.

Imperial chroniclers recorded a temple “defeated.”

But the deity was gone.

Not stolen.
Not destroyed.

Withdrawn.

For decades, Ranganatha lived on the move —
in Tirupati,
in Kerala,
in hidden sanctums where lamps never went out.

Seva continued.

Not reduced.
Not altered.
Not afraid.

When the storm passed, Ranganatha returned.

The temple was repaired.
Rituals resumed as if no interruption had ever occurred.

Because for Bhakti, time pauses — it does not break.

History remembers Malik Kafur’s raids.

Bhakti remembers something else:

That the god they came to conquer
was never there to be conquered.

The Vaishnavas of Srirangam did not resist with swords.

They resisted with continuity.

They did not fight history.

They outlived it.

That is why Ranganatha still reclines on Adisesha today.

Empires collapse.

Seva remains.
