As a highly experienced and accomplished Software Department Head, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in leading and driving software development.
I took some time to review the White Paper published by the TVK Govt on the state of Tamil Nadu's finances.
No surprises, as most of it was already known. In many ways, it serves as a post-mortem of the State’s fiscal mismanagement over the past five years, laying bare the extent of the deterioration and benchmarking Tamil Nadu’s key financial indicators against those of other similarly industrialised states.
-₹10 Lakh crore outstanding debt & per capita outstanding debt at ₹1,28,934
-Interest payments at 22.8% of total revenue receipts.
-State’s own tax revenue (SoTR) to GSDP ratio fell from 5.93% in 2021-22 to 5.45% in 2025-26.
-Major State PSUs in power, transport, and civil supplies hold a combined debt of ₹3.18 lakh crore.
-Revenue loss due to systemic corruption, suppressing registration revenues by undervaluing real estate prices and many more.
The shrinking working-age population in TN by 2031 leaves the state with very little time to recover and strengthen its revenue base. This is a serious issue!
The TVK Govt, therefore, has very little time at its disposal and must not treat this White Paper as an excuse for non-performance; instead, it should explore ways to repair the damage done. I propose that the government form a “functional” consultation group that includes not only academicians and economists but also experts from all fronts to find constructive ways to mitigate the crisis at hand.
This is how Qatar 🇶🇦 cheated against India 🇮🇳 during the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers 😯
Today, Qatar suffered a 6-0 defeat against Canada, and two Qatar players received red cards 💥
Group B Points Table:
1) Canada
2) Switzerland
3) Bosnia
4) Qatar
Not the crossover anyone expected. Orry calling Dhruv Rathee anti-national, right in front of a die-hard supporter, has to be one of the most unexpected moments on the internet this week 🤣
When I visited India a few years ago, I got my blood work done at 7am by a Healthcare worker who visited me, got the reports by 9am, doctor's appointment at 10am, followup multiple scans at 2pm, scan results came back at 3pm, followup doctor's phone appointment at 4pm, and medication delivered at 5pm at my doorstep.
All this costed me 3000 rupees (~$30)
🚨🔥 फ्रेंच मोटो व्लॉगर ‘Frenchy’ को भारत ने हैरान कर दिया! 🇮🇳
भारत बाइक पर घूम रहे फ्रेंच व्लॉगर के गले में गांठ निकल आई। लोकल डॉक्टर से पूछा तो बोला — सिर्फ $500 (लगभग ₹42,000) में सर्जरी + एक हफ्ते में पूरी तरह ठीक!
व्लॉगर हैरान रह गया। ऑस्ट्रेलिया में उसी तरह की सर्जरी उस पर $12,000 (लगभग ₹11 लाख) खर्च हो चुकी थी! 😱
उसने पूरा सफर कैमरे पर रिकॉर्ड किया — जांच, सर्जरी, रिकवरी — सब कुछ। भारत में वर्ल्ड क्लास ट्रीटमेंट, कम वेटिंग टाइम और बेहद कम खर्च देखकर वो दंग रह गया।
अगर पश्चिम में भारत के खिलाफ फैलाई जा रही नफरत और नेगेटिव परसेप्शन न होती, तो भारत मेडिकल टूरिज्म से सैकड़ों अरब डॉलर कमा सकता था!
भारत के डॉक्टर्स, अस्पताल और सस्ती सुविधाएं दुनिया के लिए गेम चेंजर हैं। बस इमेज सुधारने और इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर बेहतर करने की जरूरत है।
भारत की मेडिकल पावर को दुनिया अब मान रही है! 💪 #MedicalTourism #IncredibleIndia #AffordableHealthcare #FrenchyInIndia
A French moto vlogger "Frenchy" was traveling through India on his bike, He had a lump on his neck. Curious about the cost and process to remove it, he inquired locally and was quoted just $500 for the treatment.
Stunned by both the price and the short waiting time, he went ahead with the procedure. Within a week, the lump was removed. He documented the whole journey on camera.
He later shared that the same type of surgery in Australia after an accident had cost him $12,000.
If manufactured online hate and negative perceptions in the West didn’t exist, India could easily be earning hundreds of billions of dollars every year from medical tourism alone.
And this is why India needs to fight bad image/perception, that is being promoted by India's adversaries.
🚨 HEATED ARGUMENT BETWEEN VAIBHAV AND SRI LANKA 🚨
Sri Lankan Players : This is not an IPL, this Int'l cricket 🧐
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi : This is not the end of the tournament, just a normal match 🤪
Sri Lankan started this and Vaibhav ended it 😳

"My wife and I had retired from Punjab National Bank. Unfortunately, she passed away 10 years ago. We had planned to travel the world using our PF and savings, but that dream remained unfulfilled. After her death, I no longer felt like travelling anywhere. I decided to donate half of the money we had saved for our dream journey to Indian Army so I donated Rs 25 lakh to Indian Army...Perhaps this will give me the same happiness that travelling with my wife would have given me..." ~ Shrikant Sahasrabuddhe.
Indian-origin restaurant manager in London sprinted across rooftops and caught a 3-year-old girl as she fell from a second-floor window after dangling for nearly 9 minutes.
While onlookers watched in horror and police struggled to reach her in time, he acted without hesitation. The rescue ended with an emotional hug from a police officer.
Funny how anti-India clips go viral worldwide within hours, but stories of Indians saving lives rarely get the same attention from major Western media or social media algorithms.
Courage doesn't trend as easily as propaganda. But this hero deserves to be seen. 👏
Yesterday, he was drunk at his fans' house in Kanakapura and unable to walk straight to Bangalore when gunmen took him to a car and made him sit.
We are blessed to have such a Chief Minister 🤣🤣
