Bloomberg has used words like "exquisite" and "delicacy" to explain Kopi Luwak, an Indonesian coffee whose beans are literally collected from poop of Asian civet.
But since "some" of the rocks of Indian Shilajit "might" have feces of birds stuck to it before cleaning, they wrote an entire hit piece to demean ancient Indian natural heritage.

This is Anagha Rajesh.
And she is crazy.
She wants to store data in bacterial DNA.
Her startup is called BioCompute.
And last year, they actually did it.
They stored data in DNA and retrieved it in their tiny lab in Bengaluru.
This is a huge moment.
But why is she even doing it?
Because DNA is the ultimate storage tool available to us.
Just 1 gm of DNA can store about 215 petabytes of data - that's like storing over 2 million movies in 4K.
On top of that - this data can last for literally 1000s of years.
Right now, they still need to figure out a way to make the reading and writing process faster and cheaper.
But if BioCompute solves this problem - we could theoretically store all the data created in the world every year in the palm of our hands.
And that would be insane.
P.S. Check out this video from @vy0mbhatia going to Anagha's lab and actually doing it.
🚨India just honoured a healer
who has cured Stage 4 CANCER, Stage 4 DIABETES and Stage 4 ARTHRITIS WITH HERBS!🔥
Meet Yanung Jamoh Lego — the Adi “Queen of Herbs” from Arunachal Pradesh, awarded Padma Shri 2024 for traditional herbal medicine.
The official Padma citation credits her with helping 10,000+ patients with life-threatening diseases and 3 lakh+ patients over 29 years through herbal/traditional practices.
But her story is bigger than healing:
✅ BSc & MSc from Assam Agricultural University
✅ Former Agriculture Inspector, Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh
✅ Learned herbs from her folk-healer father
✅ 15-year apprenticeship before practice
✅ Founded Indigenous Herbal Heritage in 2009
✅ Trained/educated 1 lakh+ people
✅ Plants 5,000 medicinal plants every year
In an age obsessed with labs, one woman proved that India’s forests were also pharmacies — and our ancestors were scientists of nature.
Respect modern medicine. Preserve ancient knowledge. 🇮🇳🌿

Dozens of leopard cubs reunited with their mothers in India
After being found alone in farmland and sugarcane fields, dozens of leopard cubs were safely reunited with their mothers by Wildlife SOS and forest officials
@MeghUpdates Also if you surf through SM , in every platform there is always suggestion of semi porn videos. This is dangerous for kids and teens as they are attracted towards it.
Something most people don't know:
India holds the largest written record of any civilisation.
1 crore manuscripts. 3 lakh inscriptions in stone.
We gave the world zero. Wrote down surgery and calculus centuries before the West did.
Today, less than 1% can be read or searched. The rest is quietly turning to dust.
In the age of AI, knowledge a machine can't read is knowledge the world will never use.
MIDF is working to change that.

India throws away over 7 million tonnes of textile waste every year, not because people don't care but because they don’t know how to dispose of it.
Two engineers saw this gap and built NoKasa, an app where you can book a pickup. An agent comes to your home, grades your clothes on the spot, and sends cashback via UPI immediately.
They've already kept 1 lakh garments out of landfills. Such a good innovation to keep cities clean.
Horn OK Please is written on the backs of trucks in India.
During World War 2, Britishers were sending India’s diesel to Europe. This caused a shortage naturally and India switched to Kerosene as fuel to run trucks.
Kerosene is volatile and trucks would blast in accidents and collisions.
So they started writing “HORN PLEASE ON KEROSENE”.
On Kerosine eventually became “OK” and got placed between Horn Please.
That’s how we got Horn OK Please.
India has overtaken the US in having the longest road network in the world as per Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
India is now having 6.7+ million kms of roads, followed by the US at 6.6 million kms, and China 5.5 million kms. India also has the highest road density in the world.
India will continue to lead as India is now adding around 7,000-10,000 kms of highways a year. And will quickly catch up to China in paved roads, where China leads India by 0.5 million kms (India, US come second & third).
10,000 kms of road addition is like laying a road from Tokyo to London every year. This is no joke because if you think post 2020 India's infra boom was spectacular, India has only doubled its investment in infra now compared to 5 years ago.
America is doing what Dr Abdul Kalam wanted the Indian govt to do in 1998. After pokharan II blast US-West sanctioned India. Kalam told me (which I have recorded many times) to persuade PM Vajpayee (who I was close to) to ensure the sanctions continue for our tech to develop
On the left is Nikhil Ravishankar. He went to school in New Zealand, worked all his life in NZ. Yet in 2025 when he was appointed CEO of Air New Zealand, the wave of online racism directed at him became such a tsunami that the country's 3 leading media outlets, the New Zealand Herald, 1News and Radio New Zealand, had to shut down their comments section. The sheer volume of racist comments made it impossible for moderators to do their job. It was like half the population of New Zealand had decided to be racist on Ravishankar.
On the right is Air India’s current CEO - New Zealander Campbell Wilson whose appointment in 2022 attracted no such backlash in India. Wilson hails from Christchurch, arguably the most racist city in New Zealand.
Indian worker Vipin Kumar has been awarded honorary citizenship by the city of Craiova, Romania, after he jumped into an icy lake and saved the life of a 5-year-old girl. 🇮🇳🇷🇴
For nearly 30 minutes, he held the child above freezing water until rescuers arrived.
This is the side of Indians the world rarely sees in headlines: courage, sacrifice, compassion and humanity.
Yet stories like this seldom receive the attention that anti-India narratives do. No coverage from Western media outlets.
As India's envoy noted, Vipin's actions embodied the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam "The World is One Family." ❤️
Western Scientists believe that Black Hole has the strongest Force, sadly they don't know about GODDESS KALI.
Today we will know about the most powerful force as per the Hindu Philosophy and interestingly that force has many many similarities with Black Hole
