There was no traffic police car on Mumbai bound or Gujarat bound road to give instruction. Even after requesting COPs to intervene they are sitting duck on the side line. Worst behavior at NH48 @NHAI_Official
No traffic mgmnt by National highway on NH48.The Mumbai bound NH48 is completely closed at Khaniwade toll. No comm.Stand still 2hr+ traffic till Varai phata. Car need to climb divider,drive on wrong side till toll @DGPMaharashtra@NationalHways@nitin_gadkari@CMOMaharashtra
Making UPI transaction chargeable is one of the unfortunate decision in finance sector, UPI game changing innovation our USP.. keep it free…
There are many other ways to make UPI framework sustainable #keepupifree@narendramodi@nsitharaman@aravind@Dev_Fadnavis
@aravind Can banning monetisation of social media or changing the business model, so instead only paid subscription should be monetised so this farming can be curbed? This will heal the addiction of SM also?
Today, NTA exposed 5 students who digitally altered their OMR sheets to claim a discrepancy in their final NEET marks.
Some of them scored as low as 38 marks out of 720.
It is one thing to get low marks and another thing to come on national media and lie with impunity.
Some of these students are just 18 years old.
These kids are manipulating their OMR sheets using AI and playing the 'victim card.'
Vulture journalists are then using their fake sob stories to peddle political propaganda.
But this made me think about the mindset of these students and, particularly, their parents.
The NTA needs to file FIRs against them. This will act as a deterrent for those willing to create mass hysteria and panic.
Amazing achievement by @SkyrootA and their team. Proud moment for not just them but all Indians. Feedback: Skyroot, next time please get a live feed, overlay launch parameters and better commentary. Make the launch look as cool and slick as it really is.

I taught JEE physics for years. That paper breaks strong kids in three hours.
This exam is five hours of theory and five hours of lab work, and these five did close to perfect scores on it.
Let me tell you what actually happened.
The International Physics Olympiad is the world championship of school physics. It was the 56th edition. Held in Bucaramanga, Colombia, from July 5 to 12.
381 students. More than 85 countries. Every one of them the best physics student their country could find.
India sent five kids.
All five came back with gold.
Their names are Kanishk Jain from Pune. Riddhesh Anant Bendale from Indore. Rishit Garg from Dwarka in Delhi. Shresth Suraiya from Mumbai. Svarit Joshi from Ahmedabad.
We know a hundred cricketers by their nickname and not one of these boys. :)
That clean sweep put India at joint World Number One. Tied with China, Russia, Kazakhstan, South Korea and Taiwan.
Those are countries that pour serious money and national pride into science education. We are standing level with them.
Now here is what the exam actually was.
Two papers. Each five hours long.
The theory paper had three problems. One on the thermodynamics of paramagnetic cooling. One on the photoionisation of ozone. One on the dynamics of electron positron pairs.
The experimental paper was another five hours in a lab, working through heat transfer and thermodynamic processes in fluids.
That means you get given equipment you have never seen, and you have to design your own experiment, take your own readings, handle the errors, and reach a real answer.
Not multiple choice. No shortcuts. No pattern recognition. You either understand physics or you sit there for five hours.
HBCSE says the Indian students were near perfect on theory and excellent on the practical too.
Now, this was India's 27th appearance at the IPhO.
Across all those years, about 44 percent of Indian students have won gold, 41 percent silver, 10 percent bronze.
In the last ten years, every single Indian student has come home with a medal. 62 percent gold, 38 percent silver.
Not one kid has gone and come back empty handed in a decade.
Five golds in one year has happened only twice. This year, and in 2018.
So who built this.
The programme is run by HBCSE, the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education. It sits under TIFR, which sits under the Department of Atomic Energy.
They run the whole funnel. A national exam, then a national olympiad, then a brutal selection and training camp, and out of everyone in the country, five kids get on a plane.
The team was led by Professor Anwesh Mazumdar of HBCSE-TIFR and Dr Leena Joshi from St Xavier's College, Mumbai.
The scientific observers were Professor Ananda Dasgupta from IISER Kolkata and Nisha Kelkar from Gogate-Joglekar College in Ratnagiri.
Yes. Ratnagiri. A college in a small coastal town in Maharashtra.
This is public education doing something the private coaching industry could never do on its own.
The coaching industry is very good at one thing. Teaching you to solve a known problem fast.
That is what JEE and NEET reward, and I say that with love because I was part of that world.
But an olympiad paper does not have a known type. There is no shortcut chapter. There is no formula sheet that saves you. You have to sit with a problem you have never seen and think.
That is a completely different muscle. And a government funded centre has been quietly building it in Indian teenagers for 27 years.
So yes, be proud. Loudly.
HBCSE also shared that around 64 percent of India's olympiad medallists go on to do a PhD.
But only about 32 percent of medallists end up settling in India.
I do not say that to spoil the moment. These kids owe the country nothing. They earned every option they have.
But it should tell us something. We are excellent at finding this talent. We are excellent at training it. We are still not great at giving it somewhere worth staying.
Congratulations Kanishk, Riddhesh, Rishit, Shresth and Svarit. This is one of the best things an Indian did this year and most of the country will never hear about it.
@MBVVPOLICE@thelenseye@RoadsOfMumbai@MTPHereToHelp@BhayandarMira Please fine and issue challan for everyone who is driving in wrong direction, once the fine/challan is issue no one will dare to go next time. All drivers are habitual because there is no law and order.. wrong driving can cause major causality and accidents @MBVVPOLICE
This should settle debate of GOAT - Leo Vs CR7,
In any field, Greatness is not just measure by achievements but also the respect you have earn from your colleagues,opponents. In sport,respect from your coach,supporting staff,rivals & team matter most #worldcup#GOATDebate#messi
🚨Lionel Scaloni on Lionel Messi after Argentina’s comeback against Egypt:
🗣️ Reporter: “Scaloni, people always say this team is trying to win the World Cup for Messi. Do you feel that pressure?”
🗣️ Lionel Scaloni:
“I actually think people have it the wrong way around.
Today, it looked like Leo was trying to win it for all of us.
We were two goals behind. The game was slipping away. He never complained, never pointed fingers. He simply asked for the ball.
He created our first goal.
Then he scored the equaliser.
That is what leaders do.
After the final whistle, I saw something people rarely see. Leo was emotional. Not because he had scored, but because he genuinely carries the responsibility of this team on his shoulders. Sometimes I think he worries more about letting his teammates down than any of us worry about letting him down.
That’s why this dressing room respects him so much.
People admire Lionel Messi because of the goals and the trophies.
We admire him because, even after everything he has achieved, he still feels responsible for every player wearing the Argentina shirt.

This Must Go Viral. I am Happy that More People are Talking about this & must be reconsidered.
Government has an opportunity to Listen to us !!!
