Ethanol is terrible for mileage because its energy density is too low, plus it absorbs water and rusts engine parts. Upgrading it to isobutanol fixes that. It adds carbon chains so it behaves like oil instead of water, giving you proper combustion and actual fuel efficiency.

[Arvind Kejriwal @ArvindKejriwal]

मोदी सरकार के लिए पूरा देश एक experiment lab है। लोगों पर जबरदस्ती E20 पेट्रोल थोपा जा रहा है। Ethanol से लोगों की गाड़ियां बंद पड़ रही हैं, parts खराब हो रहे हैं और mileage गिर रहा है। लोगों में बहुत ज़्यादा गुस्सा है।

I can’t stop crying watching this moment. Beyond the flags and formal protocols lies the irreplaceable reality of a family's personal tragedy. A humbling reminder that the collective peace we enjoy is anchored entirely upon, private sacrifices of our soldiers' mothers and wives.

[Mike Lima @MikeLimaBravo12]

A heartbreaking moment as the mother of Sepoy Janjal Pravin Prabhakar breaks down while receiving her son’s Kirti Chakra. He made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty on July 6, 2024, during a fierce anti-terror operation in Kulgam, Jammu & Kashmir. Displaying exceptional courage and devotion to duty, he eliminated two terrorists before laying down his life for the nation.

His bravery will forever inspire generations. India salutes this brave son of the soil, and stands with his family in their moment of pride and grief.

Jai Hind. 🇮🇳

Primary mechanism of cooling is optical. Slaked lime consists of fine calcium crystals. When dried, the crystals have a high albedo, means they reflect up to 80–90% of solar radiation rather absorbing. prevents solar heat from transferring into the concrete slab beneath.

Anthropogenic landscapes force wildlife into an evolutionary trap. This perfectly illustrates the concept of "synanthropic struggle"—animals adapting to environments built exclusively for human utility, often with tragic consequences.

Is this conservation or a motorized siege? By forcing a tiger into this anthropogenic bottleneck, we are ignoring the park's carrying capacity. If our presence spikes their stress hormones by 100%, are we protecting them or just paying to watch a physiological breakdown?

One of the most viral videos on India’s conservation crisis starkly showing how booming tourism and disturbing visitor behaviour are turning forests into stress zones for wildlife.

ये जो छोटू होते हैं ना चाय की टपरी पर, बस स्टैंड पर और ढाबों में। ये अपने घर के बहुत बड़े होते हैं।

बस इनके हाथों से पेन, पेंसिल, किताबें, शिक्षा छीनने वाले वही लोग होते हैं जो इन्हें पांच - दस रुपए की टिप देते हैं।

I think it's our mistake,We glorify IITs and IIMs so much that missing them feels like missing life. Real tragedy is how easily we label someone ‘not enough’. we built dreams so high that falling isn’t allowed, and when it happens, people don’t fear failure, they fear becoming it

His name was Saurabh Kumar Ladda.

He was 25 years old. Chemical Engineering from IIT Madras. MBA from IIM Calcutta. CFA Level 1 certified. He joined McKinsey and Company as a junior analyst in August 2022.

On Friday, February 23, 2024, he returned home to his apartment in Wadala, Mumbai, after a work trip to Ahmedabad at 10:30 at night.

At 11:15, he jumped from the ninth floor.

In his last phone call to his girlfriend, he spoke about the pressure he was facing on his project. Police recorded statements from his flatmates, family, colleagues and seniors. The official police investigation concluded his death was due to pressure at his workplace.

He was 25 years old. IIT. IIM. McKinsey. Every milestone India tells its young people to chase.

Today is International Labour Day. The day the world stops to ask what we owe the people who work.

India has no law that limits working hours for white collar professionals. The Factories Act caps factory workers at 48 hours a week. For salaried office employees, there is no legal ceiling.

Saurabh Kumar Ladda is not the first. He will not be the last.

His name was Irrfan Khan.

He was born in 1967 in Tonk, Rajasthan. His father ran a tyre business. He was selected for a national cricket tournament for under 23 players. He could not attend because he could not afford the travel expenses.

He won a scholarship to the National School of Drama in Delhi in 1984. Acting was not the plan. The scholarship was.

In his final year at NSD, Mira Nair cast him in Salaam Bombay. His scenes were cut because he was too tall for the frame.

He moved to Mumbai with nothing. He repaired air conditioners to pay rent while waiting for his next role.

The 1990s were television serials and forgettable films. The industry had no space for a man with unconventional looks who refused to perform emotions instead of feeling them.

He almost quit in 2001. A British film called The Warrior changed his mind.

Then everything shifted.

Slumdog Millionaire. Life of Pi. Paan Singh Tomar. The Lunchbox. Piku. Talvar. Two films he acted in collectively won 12 Oscars. At the Academy Awards, Julia Roberts stopped him outside the venue to tell him she loved his work in The Namesake. Christopher Nolan offered him a role in Interstellar. He turned it down because he had committed to The Lunchbox.

In 2016, he dropped Khan from his name. He said he wanted his work to define him, not his lineage.

In 2018, he was diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine cancer. He flew to London for treatment. Came back in 2019 and went straight back to work. He completed Angrezi Medium while undergoing chemotherapy. It was his last film.

Today marks five years since he left. He was 53.

The man who repaired air conditioners in Mumbai turned down Christopher Nolan. India just never told that story loud enough.

In Punjabi we say "Vand Chako". It means Share what you have. Serve those in need. Stay humble.

[The Better India @thebetterindia]

Every evening, as Mohali slows down, one 70-year-old chooses to show up with warmth.

Near Sectors 54–55, on the road towards Franco Road, he quietly serves free chai to anyone passing by his home. No banner, no announcement. Just a simple act of seva that has continued for over a year.

Winters bring steaming cups of tea. Summers bring both chai and cold drinks. But what truly stays constant is the feeling he offers, that someone cares enough to pause for you.

In a world chasing bigger things, he reminds us that sometimes, the smallest gestures leave the deepest impact.

When God has a plan…

From selling bhatura chole at Vivek Public School in 1989,
to opening Lawrence Garden Banquet from the back of my house in Amritsar in 1990.
In 1991, I chose culinary arts—
a decision that embarrassed almost everyone except my grandmother.

There were years of humiliation I rarely speak about.
Moments that nearly broke me.
In 2000, when my banquet was torn down, I almost gave up.
Instead, I moved to the United States and started over.

Cleaning homes.
Selling food on the streets of TriBeCa.
Sleeping at Grand Central.
Experiencing homelessness at NYC Rescue.
Sleepless nights.
Being called “Curry Boy” on the 7 train.

And still, I kept going.
From there…
8 Michelin stars.
Then losing myself again.
Then starting over—one last time as a promise to my sister—with Bungalow.

And now…
TIME100 Most Influential People in the World 2026.
I’m still trying to process it.
The journey continues.
