@atulkasbekar I recall this
We used to get a postcard from the local Ganesh idol making karkhana which was 2 min away from my house, that you can book your idol.
We have a small idol but with specific requirement as given by my grandfather. In later years these specifics became a hot and miss

This is Kyrgyzstan , world’s 125th largest economy which Modi is visiting.

Look at the roads, the air quality, the lane discipline, the 0 pothole movement, the side walks.

Now compare it with the capital or any city of world’s 6th largest economy and Vishwaguru and you will realise how badly we have been scammed by our politicians and babus.

[Lee Kuan Yimby @LeeKuanYimby]

I was just in Mumbai, and I have to give them credit for the progress they’re making on infrastructure. The new Aqua Line metro is phenomenal. But the amount of work India still has to do on basic cleanliness and sanitation and it is hard to understand until you see it yourself. Would love for more westerners to go just to understand how wealthy they are, but that's a different point.

Mumbai is completely surrounded by water, yet there are almost no places where people can actually enjoy the water. The beaches are filled with trash, the water is badly contaminated, and almost nobody swims, even when it’s brutally hot outside. Walking on the beach is just mud and trash meeting filthy water on the horizon.

There are much poorer places around the world where people can still use the beaches. This is not just about money. India has gone decades without adequate trash collection, sewage treatment, or enforcement for a population of more than a billion people. At this point, the scale of the problem feels almost impossible, and the oceans around the world are paying the price for Indias garbage output as well.

I like the direction Modi is taking the country, but India needs to treat cleanup like a national emergency. Stop with the small campaigns and organize a full scale blitz.

Offer unemployed people paid work picking up trash, clearing drains and waterways, cleaning beaches, and maintaining public spaces. Give them proper equipment and supervision. Then build the collection and waste processing systems needed to stop everything from becoming filthy again a week later.

India has shown that it can build metros, airports, highways, and digital infrastructure. Clean streets and usable water should be treated as infrastructure too.

Mumbai should have one of the greatest waterfronts in the world. Instead, it's has basically an irrelevant feature of the city and feels surrendered to sewage and garbage.

Can you guess what this number is: 43 crore?

That is 430 million. Not vaccine doses. Not Aadhaar cards. Not UPI txns this time.

That is the number of free doctor consultations delivered by a govt telemedicine platform most urban Indians have never even heard of.

It is called eSanjeevani.....

And it might be the most quietly massive digital health system on the planet, bigger, by consultation volume, than any telemedicine platform any country has ever built, public / private.

Look at how fast this scaled, most people assume govt tech moves at govt speed.

This one did not....

- 2019: platform rolled out, mostly experimental.

- Mid-2020: crossed 3 million consultations, right as COVID lockdowns hit and OPDs across the country shut their doors.

- Within a couple more years: past 120 million.

- By January 2025: past 250 million.

- By November 2025: 430 million.

That is not linear growth. That is a curve that bent hard upward because a health worker sitting in a primary health centre in rural Chhattisgarh, with zero specialists for a 100 KMs, suddenly had a video line straight to a doctor at a district hospital.

How it actually works and why the model is smart:

- It runs on a hub & spoke system. 131,000+ rural health centres (the "spokes") connect to ~17,000 hospital hubs.

- A nurse / health worker at a village level centre does the first line consultation and if it needs a specialist, they do not send the patient on a bus ride to the nearest city. They connect them, live, on video, right there.

- And this is not a niche pilot anymore, 93%+ of all usage runs through this doctor to doctor model, meaning it has become genuine day to day rural healthcare infrastructure, not a COVID-era stopgap.

A few more fascinating data points for people mostly doubting any govt run schemes:

- 57% of beneficiaries are women, the demographic that has historically had the hardest time physically travelling to a city hospital for a routine consultation.

- 12% are senior citizens. This is reaching exactly the population that private telemedicine apps, built for smartphone literate urban users with credit cards, were never going to reach.

1 of the largest single interventions in healthcare access in human history, built quietly, by an Indian govt lab (C-DAC), running almost invisibly in the background of "Digital India" headlines that usually go to UPI and Aadhaar instead.

Bharat is rising. 🙏🙏

I don’t want to live the American dream, I want to live the Indian dream!

For 13 years, I’ve lived in the US and UK. Every single day in these 13 years, I wanted to move back to India, but it only got progressively harder as the years flew by.

I strongly believe that “no one will back you, if you don’t back yourself”

3 years ago, I decided to listen to myself and quit my job to move back to India.

I want to thank the architects of the Indian constitution for instilling “Freedom of Speech” as a core principle of India because of which I can openly speak out against brands and encourage them to do better. I am grateful to be living the Indian dream.

Jai Hind!

School kids are doing an excellent job:

This is Dombivli in Maharashtra. This cute girl says that whenever she travels on this road, she feels like she is doing bungee jumping.

She says the road has been in this condition for a long time, and no maintenance work has been done.

This area comes under youth leader @DrSEShinde.
