@Jiankui_He Ethics ensures science serves humanity, not the other way around. Unchecked innovation risks harm progress without guardrails isnโt progress, itโs recklessness.
Sejal Pawar thriving in 3rd year MBBS while running a full-time reel-making drama on Insta proves that Indian MBBS standards have utterly collapsed. Sheโs a professional influencer first, medical student second. Real MBBS means brutal duties, ward crashes, pathology grinds and rigorous studies โฆnot curating Insta content 24/7.
If sheโs acing it like this, then obviously exams are diluted, clinical postings are fake and faculty are either complicit or uselessโฆ half baked doctors. Standards are dead.
So plz take care of your health.
He entered prison at 23.
He walked out at 43.
In between, an entire lifetime disappeared. ๐
When Vishnu Tiwari stepped out of prison in 2021, it was not the triumphant moment people imagine when someone finally regains their freedom.
It was the moment a man confronted everything he had lost.
For twenty years, he lived behind bars after being arrested in 2000 and later convicted in a case that would eventually collapse in court.
Year after year, he waited.
For justice.
For a hearing.
For a chance to prove his innocence.
Outside the prison walls, life continued.
Children grew up.
Technology transformed the world.
Governments came and went.
Families celebrated festivals and milestones.
But inside, time seemed frozen.
The hardest part wasn't just losing twenty years.
It was losing the people he wanted to return to.
His parents spent years waiting for their son to come home.
They never saw that day.
By the time the Allahabad High Court acquitted him in 2021, saying the evidence could not sustain the conviction, the freedom he received came with a painful truth:
Some losses cannot be reversed.
No judgment can return twenty years.
No court order can bring back parents who died waiting.
No compensation can replace birthdays missed, funerals unattended, and dreams that never got the chance to exist.
His story is bigger than one individual.
It raises difficult questions about justice, due process, and the human cost of delays within legal systems.
Because when an innocent person loses decades of life, the punishment continues long after the prison gates open.
Freedom is precious.
But freedom delayed for twenty years carries a sorrow that words can barely describe.
Vishnu Tiwari did not simply walk out of prison.
He walked into a world that had moved on without him.
And that may be the most heartbreaking part of all.

The govt should reserve emergency alerts with loud, alarming sirens for truly exceptional threats to life and national security.
Using the same system for routine weather advisories, especially at odd hours, is not just irritating, it creates alert fatigue. If people are repeatedly jolted awake at odd times for warnings that may not affect them, many will eventually start ignoring these alerts altogether.
Weather updates are important, but they can be delivered through SMS, apps, TV, and location-specific notifications, and that is possible because weather events can be predicted well in advance. There is no need to send real-time emergency alerts for them.
Those who agree with me can try (android) settings > safety and emergency > wireless emergency alerts > disable allow alerts.

The loss of three Indian lives is heartbreaking. But beyond the immediate outrage, we need to ask a bigger question: are we building the kind of nation that can command respect globally? Without serious investment in R & D & innovation, our options will remain limited.

We dream of becoming a superpower, but superpowers are built in laboratories, research centers, and factories not through endless freebies & short-term politics. Unless India makes R&D a national priority, we'll spend the next few decades supplying labor while others lead. #modi
From Odishaโs fields to a sustainable ecosystem , one manโs vision is fuelling a revolution.
Odishaโs agri tech vision story just got stronger and solid.
Dr. Ramesh Chandra Biswal, an IIT Kharagpur alumnus and former USA based postdoctoral researcher , returned to his roots and founded VillaMart in Bhubaneswar.
In a few years, he built a tech enabled, zero waste farm to fork platform that connects farmers directly to consumers through phyGital mobile supermarkets and value added processing.
Today, VillaMart has crossed โน12 crore in annual revenue, partnering with 15,000+ farmers across 3,000+ villages of Odisha.
Farmers earn 20-50% higher prices, post harvest losses are slashed, and fresh Odisha produce now reaches domestic and export markets.
His return from the USA deserves huge appreciation he chose impact and Odishaโs soil over a comfortable abroad career, bringing world class science back to our motherland.
Fellow Odias, proof you donโt need metropolitan cities or abroad life to build something big.
Start with purpose. Stay rooted. Think scale.
Odisha is rising. Letโs celebrate heroes like Dr. Biswal.
Decades ago, I was listening to Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Aap Ki Adalat with @RajatSharmaLive
Vajpayee ji said:
โBorder ke us paar China nuclear bomb le ke baitha hai aur Diego Garcia mein America.โ
My nanu nudged me and said, โSamjhoโฆโ
At that age, I couldnโt. Today, I can.
You need leverage to stand up to the US.
However, when companies like SMPP are white-labeling freaking Belarusian UAVs and presenting them as indigenous products, what exactly am I supposed to be hopeful about?
Deeply devastated by the tragic news from the Gulf of Oman. Three innocent Indian civilian seafarers โ Patnala Suresh, Shivanand Chaurasiya, and Aditya Sharma โ have lost their lives following a targeted US precision military strike on the commercial oil tanker, M/T Settebello.
These men were not combatants. They were civilian mariners doing their jobs, caught in the crossfire of a geopolitical standoff.
I strongly support the Government of India's swift and firm response in calling out this unacceptable overreach. By summoning the US Chargรฉ d'Affaires to lodge a strong protest and forcefully raising the matter at the United Nations, New Delhi has made it clear that Indian lives are not acceptable โcollateral damageโ.
While the US enforces its maritime blockade, it must cease and desist from targeting commercial civilian infrastructure and crews. A military strike on an engine room, knowing civilians are on board, is unjustifiable.
Global maritime forces have plenty of non-lethal methods to intercept, redirect, or board non-compliant vessels. Resorting to missile strikes that kill civilian crews must stop immediately. Freedom of navigation must apply to the safety of the sailors who power global trade. I hope india firmly demands this of its US interlocutors since practically every ship in those waters carries Indian crew.
Our deepest prayers are with the bereaved families. We stand with you. ๐๏ธ เคถเคพเคเคคเคฟ!
