This is water 🚰 from our society this week
No added preservatives, that’s exactly the colour of water delivered by tankers
We pay ~70L every year for water tankers, if this is the situation for us … imagine what the restaurants and roadside eateries are getting
A silent health pandemic is awaiting in Pune. With this type of water for chores and drinking, very soon health, skin diseases, water borne diseases will follow
The condition is pathetic after paying 1-1.5Cr for flats and have to live in such circumstances
Radio stations are shutting down. Radio Nasha, Radio One, and Fever FM are just the beginning, and more will follow soon.
If the FM industry wants to save itself, it should just play songs with just a few sober ads in between. Nobody is interested in weather, traffic, or score updates, cringe jokes, loud ads, useless lectures, love guru preaching, and lousy pranks.
And most importantly, fire RJs. They are insufferable because they replace actual talent with screaming and fake energy. They talk at you in bizarre, plastic accents, laughing hysterically at their own terrible jokes and scripted prank calls that just bully ordinary people. When they aren't blasting obnoxious sound effects, they are lecturing you with cringey, copy-pasted life advice. They barely even play music anymore; it's just endless talking, ad plugs, and noise.
In a world with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Spotify, etc, their loud, fake, and preachy style is nothing but an auditory assault that makes you want to smash your car radio.
This girl is apparently a doctor, yet she is publicly mocking a cadaver.
A cadaver is not a prop, or an object for cheap humour. It is a human being who chose to donate their body for medical education and scientific advancement after death.
When students enter medical college and step into the dissection hall, they take a cadaveric oath, a solemn pledge that serves as a tribute to body donors. The cadaver is regarded as the student's "first teacher" to foster empathy, ethics, gratitude, and respect for human dignity.
During my first year of MBBS, our cadaver was a retired Brigadier. We treated him with dignity because we understood that we were learning from a person who had made a conscious, and rare in Indian society, decision for the benefit of future patients and future doctors.
Mocking a cadaver and making lewd remarks about the body's private parts is not edgy, funny, or bold. It reflects a complete failure to understand one of the most basic ethical principles taught in medicine: respect for human dignity, even after death.
It may or may not attract liability under the BNS, but it is unquestionably conduct that falls far below the ethical standards expected of a medical professional.
The @NMC_IND should take cognizance of this matter and ensure that such behaviour has consequences.
There was also a boy on the same show who made derogatory remarks about a girl who was apparently his date, and he is rightly facing the consequences of his actions. This girl should be held to the same standard.
🇨🇳🇮🇳 Chinese-developed cancer immunotherapy is bringing new hope to patients in India by making advanced treatment more accessible and affordable. 🩺💊
When a 72-year-old patient in Mumbai was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and faced prohibitively high treatment costs, a China-developed alternative offered a lifeline.
This shows how medical innovation can make a real difference in people’s lives. 🌏✨

Legalise Virtual Digital Assets (like Crypto, Stablecoin) in India. Don’t drive them offshore.
India taxes VDAs (virtual digital asset) like they are legal. But regulate it like they are illegal.
India taxes cryptocurrency at 30% Capital Gain Tax + 1% TDS; yet offers no legal recognition, no investor protection, no dedicated AML (anti-money laundering) framework.
The result is:
• 12 crore Indians invest via overseas platforms
• ₹4.8 lakh crore in VDA trading moved offshore
• 73% of India's trading volume shifted to foreign exchanges
• 180 Indian crypto startups relocated abroad
The answer is : compliance in India. Give VDAs clear asset class status in India.
A clear domestic regulatory sandbox, with strong AML guardrails can bring activity back onshore, protect investors, improve compliance and add ₹15,000–20,000 crore in annual tax revenue.
Let us not fear innovation, let us regulate it.
Prohibition is not protection, Regulation is protection.
My Demand: Make Long Term Capital Gain TAX on Equities NIL for individual investor.
I welcome the hike in STT (security transaction tax) on derivatives as it can curb reckless speculation. Nearly 90% of retail investors lose money in F&O, turning markets into gambling.
When STT was originally introduced, LTCG was zero. But now with both STT and LTCG in place, investors are disincentivised.
I urge the govt to abolish LTCG on equities for individuals, as done in Switzerland, Singapore, UAE & others. This will boost household wealth, reduce speculation, and shift savings from gold & real estate into equities.
Many BJP leaders do not practise at home what they aggressively preach to the public.
Their children grow up in elite schools, insulated colonies, English-speaking bubbles, and socially liberal environments, and their parents are perfectly comfortable, and even proud, of this private lifestyle.
When these children move to Western Ivy League universities for higher education, they enter campuses where their parents’ political ideology (real or apparent) is viewed critically. In such spaces, mere association becomes a social burden. To gain acceptance, they overcompensate, becoming more vocal, more aggressive, and openly hostile toward the very politics their families represent in public. The parents, again, are completely comfortable with this.
Congress–Left politicians’ kids are also liberal, but since they grow up in that ecosystem since childhood, being liberal abroad feels normal to them, not forced. They blend in easily.
Farooq Ahmed Dar, alias Bitta Karate.
Despite openly admitting on camera to killing around 20 Kashmiri Pandits, he has never been convicted.
Between 1990 to 2006 he was in preventive detention multiple times and was released on bail in 2006, ironically by a Kashmiri Pandit judge. Since then, he has remained on bail, with the case against him never meaningfully progressing.
During this period, he joined JKLF under Yasin Malik, and emerged as a prominent separatist leader. He was even part of the Hurriyat Conference delegation that used to negotiate with India. He has been in jail since 2019, but in connection with a different terror-financing case.
Think about it: an individual who confessed to killing 20 people has not even been convicted. By any reasonable standard, such crimes warranted swift capital punishment. Another example how extraordinarily soft, and self-defeating, we have been as a country.
Pushing E20 without first phasing out non-compliant vehicles was rash and unethical. But since politicians only respond to electoral arithmetic, here’s why this is a blunder purely in electoral terms.
As of 2022, India has 21 crore registered two-wheelers that are not E20 compliant. That’s essentially 21 crore families. They’ve already started facing trouble, and the issues will only grow. People aren’t clueless, they’re reading up, petrol pump staff and mechanics are warning them. This won’t end well.
Someone close to the PM needs to spell this out. Nitin Gadkari will still win Nagpur easily, but the PM has to win the whole country in 2029. If two-wheeler owners turn resentful, it’s not going to help him.
The sensible move is to pause E20 until the overwhelming majority of non-compliant vehicles are phased out.
Very satisfying ending!
Not saying this about the kid, but the parents. If you can't teach your kids humility, patience, and manners, they turn out to be such rude overconfident lot. Not winning a single rupee will surely pinch them for a long time.
Bhagwan, downfall jaisa bhi de, comeback Cian Agro jaisa hi dena. What a company, man! While the Indian share market is struggling, this one’s soaring like a rocket.
Must be due to sheer ethics and hard work by owners. What else could it be the reason? Can’t think of any other.
Shri @nitin_gadkari,
You don't give direct answers to direct questions, instead, you deflect with lines like “mere against hitjob hai” or “paid propaganda hai” to media channels.
Again asking a few direct questions. If you can answer these satisfactorily, directly, through media, or even via your influencer campaigns, promise I won’t raise E20 petrol issue again.
1. Why fast-track E20? The original plan was to implement E20 by 2030. That timeline made sense because, by then, most vehicles on Indian roads would be E20-compliant. Accelerating it so quickly is like launching 6G services when no 6G phones exist yet. This is not like polio eradication, where early achievement deserves praise. There was no pressing reason to push it ahead of schedule. Even NITI Aayog had reservations about rushing it.
2. You said there’s no car damage due to ethanol blending “world over.” That’s because other countries match fuels with compatible vehicles. Brazil rolled out E20–30 only after most vehicles became compliant and still offered E0–E10 for older ones. E20 cars on E20 are safe; non-E20 cars, which form the majority in India, are not. India is probably the only country that created this mismatch. If E-20 doesn't damage the non-compliant cars, like you claim, why is there even need for E-20 complaint cars then?
3. Why hasn’t fuel price reduced as you promised? Instead, mileage has gone down, so people are paying more for the same distance.
To summarise, we have no issue with E20 itself, only with how it was implemented. Please answer these questions. And no, saying “we did it for the benefit of farmers” is not an answer. If you want to help farmers, do it through your budget, people are already paying enough taxes for that, don’t cut into ordinary citizens’ pockets or damage their vehicles. "To become self reliant fast" is also not an answer. In that case, non compatible vehicles given E5-10 option would not have stopped you from becoming self-reliant. If you can’t answer, at least don’t call us paid propagandists. You are one of the most powerful ministers; if you truly believe this is a paid hit job, then investigate and prove it. Who’s stopping you?
Gold has touched $3000 since my last post on it. And now is touching $4000. A recession by next year will take it to $5000 sooner than later. The issue I talked about, like a major exchange scare, will sky rocket it from there too. Along with cryptos. But don't tell me I didnt warn you. "They" will crash both one day (I can't say when exactly as it will be financial advise) to bring another form of USD, a world reserve currency.
The Himalayas are very important. They feed rivers that sustain the greatest populations and population densities on earth. All through South Asia, South East Asia, and China. India still controls a large part of this range. But China, after taking Tibet which it calls its palm, is now eyeing what it calls the five fingers of the palm - Ladhak, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, and Arunachal to get complete control over Himalayas.
It will do everything to take control but it won't risk a full scale war. If India has to build a strategy against this, I would recommend one of a full scale war with China for any border transgression from now on. In 2020, India already showed that it can escalate a lot. And China can't get away with low intensity aggression and salami slicing. This has to be coded into India's military strategy.
Any conflict by China should be viewed as an act of war and India should be ready to escalate it into a full fledged war. If the CCP supremacists think India is a toilet less sh1t hole, so be it. China too will become one sh1t hole fighting India. This must be the official policy no government in India can overrule.
@theskindoctor13 SC ST Act, Reservations, freebies, judicial reforms....will never be touched by any political party . We actually need dictatorship and not democracy to set things right.
