Hardeep Puri said that ethanol is used in racing cars as well to defend his stand on E20. This is the Petroleum Minister's understanding of the issue. What can one even say to that!
First, race cars are specifically engineered to run on ethanol; therefore, it does not harm them. This is not the same as forcing E20 into regular cars that are not engineered to handle it. In non-compliant vehicles, ethanol will aggressively degrade standard rubber gaskets, plastic parts, and aluminum components over time.
Second, a racing engine is built to survive for only a few hundred miles before being stripped down and rebuilt by professional mechanics, who easily manage any fuel-induced wear. An average citizen, however, needs their car to last for over a decade. Running non-compliant engines on E20 will certainly not help achieve that.
Third, race teams use ethanol solely for a performance boost due to its high octane rating, not for fuel economy. For regular people, however, fuel economy matters immensely.
Two Tomahawk missiles, reportedly fired from George Soros's Bedford residence in New York, in a bid to sabotage Shri Nitin Gadkari's infrastructure work, hit the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway this morning. Thankfully, no lives were lost.
Ads always portray it as Men vs Women. Sheer madness! It's actually the opposite gender which watches their matches. Over 90 percent crowd consists of Men. Over 90 percent followers of Women Cricket are Men. It's amusing that Men still get shamed for not supporting Women Cricket
Smriti Mandhana fires only in the first two matches of the ICC tournaments, Jemimah scores run a ball in every T20 game, and fielding standards of this team is pathetic. It's high time now there needs to be some accountability, this team can't run on gender agenda anymore.
@JemiRodrigues doesn't deserve a place in T20Is. Strike rate of just above 100 is a crime, that too in a WC.
Selections in T20s shouldn't happen on ODI form.

India is drowning in culture of mindless self hatred.
India lost to Ireland in a T20 match after a massive batting collapse. Vaibhav Suryawanshi wasn't playing. Why? Because the team management wanted experienced top-order players.
Arre, what is more important? Experience or current form? You have a beast who is scoring big with a strike rate near 300 every now and then, but you won't play him because 'he lacks experience.' He will only gain experience if you actually give him the chance to play!
Why was he even selected for the team if experience is the deciding factor for the playing XI?
The absolute horror of the Siya-Ketan incident lies in the sickening asymmetry between them: Ketan’s pure, almost childlike innocence paired against Siya’s hollow, predatory sociopathy.
Four days before he died, Siya had already tried to murder him by shoving him off a cliff. Ketan survived only because a stray tree branch broke his fall. But he was so hopelessly, blindly in love that he swallowed her absurd lie whole, she claimed she saw a snake and panicked, pushing him away to "protect" him.
Instead of feeling suspicion, Ketan felt profound gratitude. He hugged his near-executioner, thanked her for saving his life, and proudly recounted the story to his mother and relatives. The entire family praised Siya as a hero.
To possess even a shred of humanity means you would be crushed by guilt after such an act. Watching a completely innocent person, someone whose only crime was loving you blindly, thank you for attempting to end his life should break a normal human psyche.
But Siya is a different breed of monster. Looking at Ketan’s grateful smile, she didn't feel remorse; she felt irritation. Her only regret was her own poor execution. She didn't see a human being; she saw unfinished business. Four days later, she lured him right back to the edge of that same cliff. This time, she brought reinforcements, her boyfriend. Together, they finished what she had started. Imagine the horror and betrayal Ketan would have faced in last few seconds of his life!
Siya has forfeited her right to exist in a civilized society. Yet, under our flawed justice system, she will likely walk free in ten to fourteen years. She will go on to build a comfortable, quiet life with her accomplice or some new, unsuspecting victim, completely unburdened by an ounce of remorse, carrying the secret of Ketan's final, terrified moments like a casual memory.

Give gaalis to ‘Gujaratis’ 24/7, but get your daughter married off at Jio convention center, curse Ambani-Adani 24/7, but invite both of them as honoured guests. Call RSS ‘communal’, but get your daughter married into a RSS family and invite Mohan Bhagwatji to bless the couple. Talk about ‘austerity’, and ‘farmers distress’ but spend crores at a wedding. It is great to be a politician in India today! You are not expected to walk the talk at all, and you can STILL play politics!
Radio stations are shutting down. Radio Nasha, Radio One, and Fever FM are just the beginning, and more will follow soon.
If the FM industry wants to save itself, it should just play songs with just a few sober ads in between. Nobody is interested in weather, traffic, or score updates, cringe jokes, loud ads, useless lectures, love guru preaching, and lousy pranks.
And most importantly, fire RJs. They are insufferable because they replace actual talent with screaming and fake energy. They talk at you in bizarre, plastic accents, laughing hysterically at their own terrible jokes and scripted prank calls that just bully ordinary people. When they aren't blasting obnoxious sound effects, they are lecturing you with cringey, copy-pasted life advice. They barely even play music anymore; it's just endless talking, ad plugs, and noise.
In a world with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Spotify, etc, their loud, fake, and preachy style is nothing but an auditory assault that makes you want to smash your car radio.
