From another Captain
Capt Smit, something happened yesterday on my flight to Yerevan which honestly stayed with me.
When I stepped out during refuelling, the refueller asked me where I was from. I told him I’m Indian.
He just came up, hugged me and then gave me a salute.
I honestly can’t explain what that felt like. Standing there in another country, in my pilot uniform, and having someone show me that kind of respect simply because I’m Indian… it genuinely gave me goosebumps.
And my immediate thought was — this is because of you.
The way people look at India today, the respect Indians are getting around the world, and especially the way Indian pilots are being seen when we represent our country… I feel like something has really changed.
And I want you to know that I’m genuinely grateful to you for being a part of that change.
Sometimes we see things from far away and don’t realise the impact they’re actually having on ordinary people like us. But yesterday, that hug and that salute made me feel it personally.
That guy probably had no idea what that moment meant to me. But I walked back to the aircraft feeling incredibly proud to be Indian — and incredibly grateful to you.
I just felt I had to tell you this.
And most importantly, wishing you a very speedy recovery!
Congratulations Vithya!!
Records are meant to be broken & there is no greater reward for an athlete than to see the next generation go beyond the boundaries we once set. Vithya Ramraj breaking my 43-year-old national record in the 400m hurdles is an incredibly special moment.
WHAT A RACE! 😱🔥🇮🇳
India were around 4th-5th place, but Abinaya Rajarajan, the rising 19-year-old, made that final 100m INSANE! 😱
WHAT A COMEBACK! 🔥🇮🇳
Smriti Irani DESTROYS Rahul Gandhi over his “Smash Patriarchy” remark 🔥
“What patriarchy do you want to smash in Hinduism?
– Ever heard of Nayiki Devi? She defeated Muhammad Ghori in Gujarat so badly he couldn't return for 13 years
– Rani Laxmibai rode into battle with a 2 kg sword and a baby tied to her back, leading an army of men
– Ahilyabai Holkar ruled as a widow from an ordinary caste
– 76 battles were fought across 500 years for Ram Janmabhoomi where caste didn't matter, and villagers gave up turbans and leather footwear
– You called us ‘terrorists’ to our face and coined ‘Hindu terror’. You want us to be apologetic?
– I am a Hindu woman married to a Parsi. My surname is Irani, yet nobody in the BJP questioned me
– I never breached a Parsi temple's boundary out of respect, while raising my children in my husband's faith
– Congress stopped Vande Mataram stanzas naming Maa Bhagwati & Lakshmi. Is Lakshmi ji from BJP?
– If you don't accept my Dharma, why flaunt your Gotra and visit temples?
– Ardhanarishvara, the divine balance of Shiva-Shakti, is our concept
– You mock our Gods and call us communal when we respond. You wouldn't dare do this to other religions”

@mnjmanoj810 @RameshOffcl @CMOTamilnadu @tnhrcedept @chennaicorp I too was there at Vadapalani temple this morning
Saw couple of stray dogs inside the darshan queue
So unfortunate that temple authorities care a damm on upkeep of our precious temples
As a new young Govt we request the HR&CE authorities to take strict actions thank you

I saw a girl on the Latent Show who hated the entire male species.
She used to say that all men look the same to me… every single one of them feels disgusting and worthless. I even hate my own father simply because he’s a man.
The girl in this picture is Asmita De. She’s from Tripura.
In her village the usual mindset was that once a girl grows up, her greatest achievement in life should be getting married. But Asmita’s father was completely against that outdated thinking. He poured every bit of his energy and every last rupee into his daughter “If you want to do judo, do it. I’m right behind you.”
Asmita says that when she came to Delhi for training, even if she got the smallest injury, her father would drop everything and rush to take care of her. Relatives and the rest of the family kept discouraging them “What’s the point of all this?” but her father never listened.
In 2023 she got a job in the UP Police through the sports quota. Things became a little easier. With the remaining time she started training even harder.
Then in December 2025 her father passed away after a brain stroke. In that moment Asmita felt everything was over.
But just ten days later her mother sent her back to training with these words: “If I stop you today, your father will be furious. He’ll say that after I’m gone, no one is left to look after my daughter.”
Asmita turned that pain into strength. Two months later she topped the Asian Trials and began preparing for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
Today this girl has won India’s first-ever gold medal in judo. First gold… that’s no small thing. Asmita has dedicated this medal to her coach and to her father.
I don’t remember the name of that girl from the Latent Show, and I don’t want to. I want Asmita’s name on every post, every newspaper, every Indian tweet and Instagram story.
These are the real heroes of our country the ones who carry the tricolour on their shoulders and light up India’s name on the world stage. Instead of some bitter, frustrated girl, Asmita’s story is the one that deserves to go viral.
Proud of you, girl.
Everyone remembers the attack on the Mumbai railway station on 26/11, the gunmen walking the platforms, more than fifty people killed. Almost nobody remembers the announcer whose voice sent hundreds of strangers running the other way while the bullets were still flying.
His name is Vishnu Dattaram Zende.
On the night of 26 November 2008, he was on duty in the announcer's cabin at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, a raised glass room looking out over the platforms. It was near the end of his shift when he heard a loud blast and gunfire, and saw people running.
Two terrorists had walked into the busiest station in the country and begun shooting everyone in sight. At that station alone, they would kill more than fifty people.
From his cabin he could see the whole layout, and he understood something fast. Local trains were still pulling in, each one about to pour hundreds of passengers straight onto the platforms where the gunmen were standing.
He had a microphone that reached every platform. He decided to use it, even though it meant staying exactly where he was, in full view, instead of hiding.
He began making announcements, over and over, in Hindi and Marathi, telling people not to come to the main concourse, telling them to leave by the rear exits, warning them away from the guns.
Hundreds of people changed direction because of that voice and walked out of the station instead of into the bullets.
The terrorists worked out where the announcements were coming from. They came and stood almost directly below his cabin. One of them fired up toward him. He kept low, waited, and when he could, went back to the microphone.
He was an ordinary railway announcer on an ordinary shift. He had no weapon and no protection, just a mic and a clear view of what was coming. He stayed at his post and used the one tool he had to push strangers out of the path of the killers.
The men with the rifles are the names everyone remembers from that station. The voice that quietly saved hundreds of the people they came to kill belonged to Vishnu Zende.
This isn’t AI or CGI.
It’s a Kantara tiger sculpted from waste.
From a small workshop in Kerala, artist Sreejith S.S. recreated Kantara’s majestic tiger using nothing but waste — dried banana leaves, straws, coconut husk, and papier-mâché.
On International Tiger Day, this stunning creation is a reminder that art can celebrate one of nature’s most iconic species while inspiring us to protect both wildlife and the planet.
Every whisker, stripe, and fierce expression was sculpted patiently by hand.
From Varaha to the Game of Thrones Direwolf, Sreejith proves that with imagination, even scrap can roar back to life.🐯✨

Meet Dr. Veezinathan Kamakoti :
He has 2136 citations, h-index of 25 and i10 index of 10
Open challenge to the entire pidiot ecosystem to tell me what this means without looking up
She needs no qualification to talk a obout a highly qualified Prof because she has the dynastic authority. Shamless 4th generation feudal.
Namaste, Ma'am...Aapko 1 story sunata hoon....
In the summer of 1980, a distraught 7th grade boy stood in the courtyard of a modest house in Mylapore, watching his father toss his cricket bat down a deep well. A fast bouncer had shattered the boy's spectacles during a local match & his father, a renowned Sanskrit logician, was terrified for his son's sight.
"Your cricket days are done," his father declared, handing him a violin. "If you want to master precision, master this."
The boy did not throw a tantrum. He directed his focus toward the strings, training until he was performing alongside musical legends, even taking direct corrections from Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi.
5 yrs later, he suffered another blow: he failed to clear the IIT-JEE examination.
He did not give up. He enrolled in a regional engineering college, quietly mastering computer science logic gates. He eventually worked his way into IIT Madras as a postgrad researcher, earned a PhD, joined as a prof & eventually became the Director of the very institute that had once turned him away.
By 2011, while the world was building consumer mobile apps, this prof was looking at a hidden national vulnerability: every radar, fighter jet, banking server & defense system in India was running on foreign-designed microprocessors.
He had a single question in his mind: "We can test that a foreign chip does what we WANT it to do. But can we guarantee it does not do something we DO NOT want it to do when a war starts?"
He proposed building a completely indigenous, industrial-grade microprocessor from scratch. Global tech giants insisted it could not be done w/o billions of dollars in infrastructure & massive foreign patents.
He did not care. Working out of cramped labs on long shifts, he & his team adopted the open source RISC-V instruction set. They hand-coded logic gates, mapped silicon layouts & verified billions of instruction cycles.
In July 2018, a tiny 16mm² piece of silicon codenamed Risecreek arrived back at the lab. The team wired it up, flipped the switch & watched a flickering monitor as the Linux operating system booted on 100% Indian-designed silicon for the 1st time in history.
Today, his SHAKTI processor architecture powers everything from defense communications to space grade controllers built in collaboration with ISRO.
That young boy whose father threw his cricket bat down a well...
The student who missed the JEE list in 1985...
The violinist who turned down the official IIT Director's mansion to stay in his family home & protect his late father's Sanskrit library...
His name is Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti.
He was a schoolteacher in Kohima.
Then, he became a soldier who fought on the icy heights of Drass. When his boots couldn't grip the treacherous terrain, Capt. Neikezhakuo Kengurüse of Nerhema took them off and climbed barefoot into enemy fire. He never came back. He was just 25.
The Barefoot Hero of Kargil. Maha Vir Chakra. A proud son of Nagaland🇮🇳
Every peak they defended lets us sleep in peace beneath our own skies.
Heartfelt thanks to Neha and Diksha for bringing Nimbu Sahab to life.

He’s Yash Raj from Bihar, just 10 years old. For the last 6 months, he’s been on a yatra to the 12 Jyotirlingas and Char Dham by cycle. he’s also good at his studies too.
Don’t worry, after seeing the youth at Jantar Mantar, they can never remove Dharma from Bharat’s heart.
