Live life to the fullest

[Aravind @aravind]

The brown sepoys of the yellow emperor have been activated to try tell you and the world that Make in India is of no use, and even if we do, it is bad.

My only question is:

If Make in India and Made in India are so useless why waste time and effort trying to analyze it? This weak commie logic never made sense to me.

It's like all the time they claim "Oh India doesn't matter", "it is of no consequence", "nobody cares", "everything India does is a failure", but spend billions to try analyze and attack India's work as useless.

Just let India be. As a weak, worst, worthless country. Why waste your time and energy talking about it and how it is failing? Go write something better like how your masters are so amazing.

Annamalai doesn’t owe BJP a single thing.

He did the heavy lifting wiping out anti-Modi sentiment in Tamil Nadu.

BJP handed him national recognition.

Textbook win-win.

Now TN BJP must stop crying and focus on their party.

I repeat again, Annamalai doesn’t owe you fellas!

It’s actually crazy how you grow up thinking home-cooked meals every day are just normal, then get older and realise how much time and effort it took your Mom to make that happen and how lucky you were to have that.

Who are you guys to grade nations into 1st 2nd 3rd worlds. This is not a grading based quality or values or moral worth. The so called 1st world colonially exploited the rest.

Otherwise the 1st so called first world is guilty of genocide of 200 million in Americas and Comprehensive global studies like Peter Brecke's Conflict Catalog indicate that Europe alone accounts for roughly 50% to 65% of all war-related deaths worldwide since 3000 BC.

Stop grading the world as you have been doing too long

Those days are over

[Aravind @aravind]

This is the reason many deep state networks are after India to destabilize it politically and derail its economic growth. Still, India manages to remain sovereign, survive, and succeed. It is important for Indians to stay united and prevent anarchy, riots, and regime change.

First in my bloodline to see protesters facing protests themselves. 😂

[Subash R @subashr232]

I was fascinated by the idea of migrating abroad when I was in middle school. I had heard so many “wow” stories about the sons and daughters of my father’s colleagues who had gone overseas.

I wrote the SAT way back in 2003. Got multiple admits, including NUS and NTU. Everything was ready for me to migrate.

But I also got admission to CEG, then among the best engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu. And I did the unthinkable. I chose Mechanical Engineering at CEG over NUS/NTU.

Dad went wild!

At the end of my undergraduate years, I had two choices: GRE or CAT. Dad wanted me to take the GRE and leave India at the earliest. I chose CAT. I stayed back.

I eventually started a venture in one of India's most heavily regulated industries.

And the regulators nearly killed my venture thrice. Closing down MSE. Slashing commissions at their whims and fancies. Arbitrarily increasing net-worth requirements and questioning the very viability of my business.

There were moments when I wondered whether staying back had been a mistake. The system certainly gave me enough reasons to feel that way.

Yet, by God's grace, I survived. Seventeen years of running a company in India.

And despite everything, I still love this country. I don't entirely know why.

Perhaps it is the mananimmathi I experience when I travel through her countryside. Perhaps it is the atma tripti her temples give me. Perhaps it is the inexplicable happiness I feel in Malnad, in my Pandya desam, or in my beloved Travancore whenever I set foot on that soil and walk its paths.

Priceless. Absolutely priceless.

Look at where India was in the 1960s and 1970s and where she is today. She has come a long way.

From confiscatory 97% marginal income-tax rates to a much lower peak rate today. From a hopelessly Fabian socialist model to a mixed economy. From waiting endlessly for a Bajaj Chetak to being able to buy a Toyota in minutes. From waiting years for a telephone connection to becoming one of the world's cheapest mobile-data markets. From mud roads to expressways. From extreme poverty — remember Kamal Haasan eating an apple that had fallen into a gutter in Varumayin Niram Sivappu — to Shimla apples being available even in village markets.

India has travelled an extraordinary distance.

Of course, she could have done much better. She could have become another Singapore in terms of civic infrastructure, public services and urban planning. We have squandered decades and opportunities. There is no denying that.

But she remains India.

I take comfort in how far she has travelled despite decades of socialist policies and political mismanagement, rather than spending every waking moment complaining about everything that is wrong with her.

I can criticise India. I can demand better governance, better infrastructure and better public services. I can be frustrated with her bureaucracy and regulations.

But my affection for her runs deeper than my frustrations.

And perhaps that is what people who constantly compare India with the West fail to understand. A country is not merely the quality of its roads, the efficiency of its bureaucracy or the size of its paycheques. There is also a sense of belonging, a civilisational connection and a peace of mind that cannot be measured on a spreadsheet.

I would rather be a small soul in a country I love than spend my life as an indentured servant in a soulless system.

I had my opportunities to leave. I chose to stay.

Seventeen years later, with all the scars, setbacks and struggles, I still feel it was worth it.

She is far from perfect. But she is mine. She will never ditch me. She will not ask for a VISA to accommodate me as she has soul and I am her son.

And that makes all the difference.

India has the among the lowest data prices in the world. It is so good that I don't even bother to connect to local Wifi when I travel in India and just tether my phone to work on my computer. Indians routinely have dual SIM phones with large data plans because they are so affordable. Ambani's launch of Jio is directly responsible for the low data prices Indians enjoy.

India has among the lowest drug prices in the world (and going lower still). People who visit India buy medicines to take home quite regularly now.

India has among the lowest cost payment systems in the world in UPI.

On the other hand, Tesla is protected from Chinese competition in the US market, keeping EV prices higher in America than elsewhere.

Prime Minister Modi has worked hard to create a competitive economy where the benefits flow to the average Indian. His government does not tolerate monopolies. He has also actively promoted and encouraged a massive surge in startups and that is the best signal of a highly competitive economy.

Directly due to Modi government policy, Indian startups are making major advances in low cost rockets and that poses a threat to SpaceX the same say the Chinese EVs threaten Tesla.

These are the facts Elon.

Starlink is available in about 172 countries/territories per its Sep 2026 map data, so "over 165" holds.

It has engaged India since ~2021 (pre-sales, formal GMPCS application Nov 2022), secured the GMPCS licence (Jun 2025) and IN-SPACe authorisation (Jul 2025), built 20 local gateways, and tailored operations for Indian rules including data localisation. Executives confirm five years of work. Full commercial spectrum and security clearance remain pending.

India has issued GMPCS licences to Starlink, OneWeb and Jio; all three are at the same security-assessment stage before spectrum. The Ambani question is rhetorical with no supporting evidence of preferential treatment.

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

Tenkasi: A mother with two young children sets them and herself on fire, and they all died. She was heartbroken because her huband came drunk to the temple festival and insulted her character in front of everyone.

During my morning walk today, I came across a woman with two children who had a similar tale of woe about her alcoholic husband.

Alcohol is the leading cause of murders, suicides and social conflict in rural areas. Alcohol is destroying young men and alcoholic men cause destruction to their families.

This is why I am strongly in favor of prohibition in Tamil Nadu. With technology, it can be made to work. We owe it to these women and their children.

Every step tells you how important this job is to her 🫡

We all have different battles in life 👏🏻

[Dr Tolu @tolubinutu]

She tied her two young children together in the basement. Then she threw her body on top of them.

A tornado was heading straight for their home.

When it hit, the house collapsed.

Two steel beams crushed Stephanie Decker’s legs. Seven ribs broke. Her legs were almost completely severed.

But underneath her were her two children.

Alive.

Then they realised something horrifying:

Another tornado was coming.

Stephanie couldn’t stand. Couldn’t run. Couldn’t free herself.

So she pulled the blanket over her children, wrapped her arms around them and covered them with her broken body.

Again.

The second tornado passed.

Neither child had even a scratch.

Stephanie survived, but lost both legs.

People called her a hero.

She simply said:

“I call myself a mom.”

[Rahul Raj @RahulRajVerse]

She Lost Both Her Parents in Kailash Mansarovar Yatra .

Out of nowhere I saw her video and she was crying And it is one of the most heartbreaking stories to come out of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra tragedy.

Tanvi’s parents had travelled to Nepal for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.

On August 26, they went missing after the devastating floods near the Nepal-China

Just four days later, Tanvi had her NEET-PG examination.

She still went to the exam centre and she had no idea if her parents dead or alive .
And completed the exam while crying .

She just gave the exam because she believed her parents would have wanted her to keep going.

And now its been a month and now she has accepted they wont come back .

This is a incredibly sad story

The new Indian Icon. A fearless hero !

[Aravind @aravind]

🇮🇳 This is the Indian captain Smit Machchar who valiantly fought off the terrorist co-pilot attacker, who suddenly stabbed him allegedly to hijack and crash the plane full of Israelis.

🙏 Let's all pray for Captain Smit's speedy recovery. Look at him - he's such a gentleman that he's requesting passengers to be kind and treat all airline crew well.

[Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.

Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.

He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.

I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
