A clock company was given a 140 year old bridge to repair. Four days after it reopened, the bridge fell into the river with 500 people on it. 135 died, more than 50 of them children. The man accused was later weighed in sweets at a ceremony in the same town.

His name is Jaysukh Patel, managing director of the Oreva group, the company behind Ajanta clocks.

In March 2022 the Morbi municipality gave Oreva a 15 year contract to repair and run the bridge.

On 26 October 2022 the bridge reopened. The town's chief officer later said the company opened it without telling them.

On 30 October 2022, around 6.40 pm, it was Sunday evening and the bridge was packed with families. It collapsed.

The youngest to die was 18 months old.

A forensic report said the cables were rusted, the anchors broken and the bolts loose.

Ten people were arrested, including Jaysukh Patel. He was charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder.

In December 2023 the Gujarat High Court rejected his bail. In March 2024 the Supreme Court granted it, with a condition that he stay out of Morbi.

In November 2024 a court relaxed that condition. Days later a community group in Morbi honoured him at a temple event and weighed him in sweets.

Narendra Parmar, whose 10 year old daughter died on the bridge, said, "It is a matter of sadness for us to see the main accused being honoured like that."

Four years later, the trial is still going on.

The invisible Glass experiment

Scientists once placed a transparent glass barrier inside an aquarium.

On one side was a fierce pike, and on the other side were several smaller fish swimming freely.

When the hungry pike saw the smaller fish, it immediately rushed forward to attack.

Bang. It slammed straight into the glass and bounced back.

Confused, the pike kept trying again and again, but every attempt ended the same way.

The repeated collisions injured its head and knocked off some of its scales. Eventually, the pike became frightened and retreated to a corner of the tank.

After some time, the scientists quietly removed the glass barrier. The smaller fish now swam freely throughout the aquarium, even brushing against the pike’s mouth.

But the pike never tried to eat them again.

Even though it was hungry, it refused to attack. In its mind, the invisible wall was still there.

A few days later, the pike reportedly died of starvation, surrounded by food. This phenomenon is often referred to as the Pike Effect or Pike Syndrome.

It’s often used as a metaphor for how repeated failure can create invisible limits in the mind.

We are currently 6 days away from 20th March, 2026, the day the patent on semaglutide expires in India.

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories has already trademarked the brand Obeda & is poised for a Day 1 launch on 21st.

Sun Pharma is launching Noveltreat & Sematrinity in pre-filled pens.

While current innovator pens cost ~₹10K (~$108), these Indian generics are expected to hit the market as low as ₹3500-4000 (~$38-43) for starter doses, with some analysts predicting a price war that could eventually drop it by 80-90%.

The man who wrote "How to Save Your Marriage" in the U.S. shot his wife and posted the photo online.
Dale Carnegie, author of "How to Win Friends and Influence People," died completely alone. Benjamin Spock, who shaped modern parenting and sold millions of books, had sons who tried to place him in a nursing home. Maria Montessori, the world's most celebrated educator, gave her own son to foster care to raise other people's children. A Korean author behind the bestseller "How to Be Happy" took her own life after years of depression. The pattern is disturbing: the people selling life answers often couldn't save themselves. Coaches. Gurus.
Influencers. They package clarity, confidence, and control while privately unraveling. Teaching wisdom doesn't equal living it - and sometimes, the louder the advice, the deeper the chaos behind it. Self-help isn't proof of mastery. It's often proof of searching.

SUPREME COMEDY

In 2005, the Chief Information Commissioner asked the Supreme Court to declare the assets of its judges.

The Supreme Court got angry. "We don't listen to orders. We give orders."

The Supreme Court appealed to the Delhi High Court against the order of the Chief Information Commissioner.

But the Delhi High Court said, "You have to release the information."

So the Supreme Court appealed the decision of the Delhi High Court to a 2-judge bench of the Delhi High Court.

The 2-judge bench of the Delhi High Court referred the matter back to the Supreme Court, saying this is your matter, you decide.

Now the Supreme Court became the judge, jury and executioner in its own case. Cricket bookies would kill to have such a fixed match.

A single-judge bench of the Supreme Court took up the matter and said a 3-judge bench should decide the case.

The 3-judge bench of the Supreme Court sat on the case for 8 long years and arrived at a verdict - the matter should be looked at by a 5-judge bench of the Supreme Court.

Finally in 2019, the 5-judge bench of the Supreme Court gave its verdict. It did not say that Supreme Court judges should declare their assets. It merely said the Supreme Court should release any information it had. So basically if a judge does not declare his assets, then there is nothing to declare.

Comedy, yes. Funny, no.

How to get hoardings removed as per law:

1. Do not complain to @GHMCOnline as GHMC Act is not deterrent and officials do not enforce it fully.
2. Instead, call to local police station and ask them the official email id of police station.
3. Write the brief facts of the complaint like place, type of risk etc. Mention that you want to get it removed under section 152 BNSS and 168 BNSS.
4. While sending email, at last line write that "Please acknowledge the receipt of this email (electronic record) u/s 12(1) of IT Act"
5. It becomes a official record.

If action is not taken, then you can file an RTI for Action Taken Report of your complaint sent via email under life/liberty case (Right to Safety & Security) and authority has to respond within 48 hours.

DK Sharma, an employee of the ITDC, was terminated from his job in 1991.

He challenged the dismissal, and his case moved through the legal system for 34 years, from labour court to Rajasthan High Court and finally to Supreme Court.

He died in 2024. Supreme Court has now ruled that his termination was wrongful and directed that 50% of his back wages be paid to his family.

He waited for 34 years for justice and died before it arrived. He never lived to hear it. This is our Judicial system.

See how peanut oil, soybean and mustard oil are made from palm oil for Rs 35 a litre.

All caterers, hotels and restaurateurs use the same oil, so think about eating outside food.

No matter how expensive and standard, branded food items on the outside may seem, resist the temptation.

Eat only home-cooked food, don't get bored of making it at home, it will kill you. Stay healthy.
