For any Pakistani seeing this tweet, i have a question. Does the general public at large still believe whatever the fauj puts out? 20 yrs back it was different.
Only in India will you get your private vehicle that you paid for with your hard earned money seized by RTO at midnight to be used for election duties.
The toughest they do immediately, the impossible take a little time.
You all need to understand what kind of odds this Indian Army's Aviation team is battling here for the rescue.
- No Landing Zone – Hover rescue on a razor-thin ridge.
- High Altitude – Thin air reduces lift and engine performance.
- Strong Mountain Winds – Sudden gusts can destabilize the helicopter.
- Rotor Clearance – Inches away from snow and hidden rocks.
- Avalanche Risk – Rotor wash can trigger unstable snow.
- Whiteout Effect – Snow makes depth perception difficult.
- Extreme Cold – Freezing temperatures affect both crew and survivors.
- Low Oxygen – Faster fatigue for pilots and rescuers.
- One-by-One Extraction – Precise boarding is critical.
- Zero Margin for Error – A small mistake can be catastrophic.
Meet Rahul Bansal,
A 2022-batch trainee IPS officer of the Chhattisgarh cadre who allegedly wanted ₹1 cr in bribes to settle a cyber fraud case.
The money was transferred to him through hawala channels in two instalments of Rs 50 lakh each in May 2026.
He has previously worked as an Income Tax inspector, so he has plenty of practice in bribery. Unfortunately, not enough to keep it quiet.
Millions of Indians spend years preparing for competitive exams, believing these services are for people with integrity.
Cases like this raise a disturbing question: if the enforcers of the law are themselves corrupt, who will protect ordinary citizens if they choose to abuse their power?
FDA laboratory employees in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar approached a minister over workload, demanding:
• Fixed working hours (10 AM–6 PM)
• No overtime
• One fixed weekly off
IAS officer Tukaram Mundhe’s response:
“You are not working in an office; you are working in a laboratory that is expected to function 24×7. Your responsibility is to work an 8-hour shift. If you have a problem with that, you are free to resign and leave the job.”
I remember entering Mumbai for the first time from Pune via the Atal Setu. It was one of the most thrilling experiences of my life.
The vast expanse of the roaring ocean felt terrifying at first, but then the view of the high-rise cityscape standing proudly, like conquerors, seemed to have tamed the mighty ocean for the rest of us humans. From a feeling of powerlessness, I found myself confidently smirking, as if I belonged to the winning side.
A few days ago, this video went viral, showing speed breakers on NH-25. People naturally assumed that locals had installed them, because who else would? After all, speed breakers are illegal on highways.
Today, NHAI issued a "clarification" that they only had installed them at the "request" (read: political lobbying or pressure) of a local public representative, and that these are not speed breakers but rumble strips. Lol!
The way these people think the aam janta of this country has no brains of their own is unbelievable!
For most of our lives, we are measured by ordinary questions.
How much do you earn? How much have you saved? What car do you drive? What is your company's valuation? Where did you spend your vacation? Which restaurants you eat in?
But every once in a while, you come across people who have quietly stopped playing that game.
They choose to wager their youth, their careers, their savings, and often their peace of mind on an idea that appears absurd to everyone else. They are drawn not by certainty, but by possibility. Their ambitions are so disproportionate to the odds that failure is almost the expected outcome.
Engineers who attempt moonshots belong to this rare tribe.
Today's Skyroot launch is one of those moments.
