Hilarious! 🤣

This protestor in Patna says, he had never ‘tasted’ tear gas.

So, when the police threw tear gas, he jumped into the smoke!

After the experience, he gave a review-

“It's very kadak maal. 0% Ethanol." 🤣

@VishnuNDTV As a father, I couldn't agree more. Seeing kids caught up in harsh realities breaks my heart. Yes, Protest is a right. Protecting our children and securing their future should always be the priority. Appreciate you speaking up for them. 🙏

At least I know, whom not to vote for in next election.

Guard: "Sir, a thief escaped the prison".
Jailer: "How?"
Guard: "I don't know sir, but he picked the Enfield bike parked at the gate and vanished before we could react."
Jailer: "Oh no, let me talk to the Home Ministry and get a blanket ban on Enfield. We can't afford another escape."

1/10 🚨BREAKING ⚡️My @frontline_india story on Air India 171 crash that AAIB Report's relight story is impossible, as per GE engineering.

This means AI 171 likely had engine computer FADEC commanding relight, seconds after it cut off fuel under TCMA.

As plane had no electrical power left at 10th, 14th second for a crew commanded relight after AAIB's implied fuel cutoff at 08:08:42 UTC; as per GE documents.

The story also has exclusive internal correspondence between @airindia and @Boeing; where the airline over the years increasingly gets desperate with recurring issues of escalating seriousness on crash flight VT-ANB (AI 171), including a major fire in Aug 2022, leading to it's grounding in Frankfurt #AirIndia #AirIndiacrash #Boeing787 #AI71 #AI171crash

Indian social media accounts often get excited when an passenger aircraft performs a go-around, with instant judgments passed on pilots by people who may not even understand what a go-around is — a normal, safety-driven maneuver in aviation.

But how often do we apply the same level of scrutiny to other professions we trust with our lives?

Before visiting a doctor, how many people ask:

Has the doctor been screened for mental health conditions that could affect professional performance?

Are doctors subject to alcohol testing?

Are there random drug tests?

Is there a periodic criminal background verification process?

Is the doctor periodically screened for communicable diseases?

Is every decision, action, and communication reviewed after each patient interaction?

When was the doctor last formally assessed for knowledge, competence, and proficiency by an independent regulator?

In aviation, these are not hypothetical questions. Airline pilots operate under rigorous oversight. They undergo medical examinations, mental health evaluations, recurrent training, simulator checks, proficiency tests, regulatory audits, background verification, substance-abuse rules, and continuous monitoring throughout their careers.

Before rushing to sensationalize aviation events or judge airline pilots without context, it is worth understanding the extraordinary standards of accountability the profession already operates under.

[LaughBreak: Dad Jokes ‘N More @MediocreJoker85]

A juggler is driving to his next performance when he gets pulled over by the police.

The officer spots some matches and lighter fluid in the car and asks, “What’s all this for?”

“I’m a juggler,” the man says. “I juggle flaming torches in my act.”

The cop looks skeptical. “Oh yeah? Let’s see it.”

So the juggler gets out of the car and starts expertly juggling flaming torches on the side of the road.

The cop stands by, watching intently.

Meanwhile, a passing couple slows down to watch.

“Wow,” says the driver to his wife. “I’m so glad I quit drinking. Look at the test they’re giving now!”

सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा दिल्ली NCR में डीजल कार नहीं चलने देंगे। तो पेट्रोल कार खरीद लो। पेट्रोल मंत्री ने पेट्रोल का अधिकार सड़क मंत्री को दे दिया है जो असल में गन्ना मंत्री है। दोनों ने कहा शुद्ध पेट्रोल नहीं देंगे। 20% मिलावट वाला ही देंगे। तो E20 पेट्रोल कार खरीद ली। मिलावट इतनी है कि अब फ्यूल पंप का इश्यू हो गया। सब कह रहे हैं नई इलेक्ट्रिक कार ले लो। हाउसिंग सोसाइटी ने कहा चार्जिंग सिस्टम नहीं लगेगा, उससे आग लग जाती है। कह रहे हैं कहीं और नया घर ले लो। इधर पेट्रोल वाली गाड़ी कहीं भी खड़ी हो जा रही। फिर टो कर के सर्विस सेंटर में खड़ी रह रही। पेट्रोल की बचत हो रही है। मोदीजी आह्वान करते उसके पहले ही गडकरी जी ने इंतजाम कर दिया। ऐसी दूरदर्शिता से ही देश चलेगा। दादा कोंडके कहे रहे आगे की सोच। काहे की तुम्हारे पीछे क्या हो रहा है देख लोगे तो तन बदन में आग लग जाएगी। सदन में ठण्डक बनी रहेगी। वहां तुम्हारे चुने गए चन्द्रवदन कोई क्रंदन नहीं करेंगे। क्रंदन तुम्हारे माथे पर लिखा है जिसे वो पढ़ चुका है। तीन आखर का ही है वो भी। तुमको नहीं अखरेगा। तुम यूज़्ड टू हो। जो लिखा गया है नहीं बदलेगा। तुम��हारा भाग्य, बाबासाहब का संविधान, और सरकार की नीतियां। सरकारें आएंगी, जाएंगी, पार्टियां बनेंगी, बिगड़ेंगी मगर ये देश रहना चाहिए। गाड़ियां आएंगी, जाएंगी, पॉलिसियां बनेंगी, बिगड़ेंगी मगर इथेनॉल रहना चाहिए। काहे कि एक बार हमने कमिटमेंट कर दी तो अपने आप की भी नहीं ��ुनते। जनता का फीडबैक घंटा सुनेंगे, मीटिंग की मिनिट्स लेंगे और एक सेकंड में एंटी नेशनल कह कर खारिज़ कर देंगे। सब सहन करो। अपने कर्मों का फल वहन करो। वाहन तुम्हारा गारत, बोलो जय भारत। देश के लिए इतना नहीं कर सकते। तुम पर लाख लानत।

@manishasinghal @AkasaAir Has anyone considered that the difference between adjacent bays is slowly reducing with newer airport terminals all over.
Other than human error this could be a contributing factor.

[R-T @UdtaPilot]

@EncrypticTV @iamankitpande 1. It's their own blood they couldn't confront or go against.
2. A ruined relationship post marriage give them an exit option, which wasn't possible earlier.
For them a destroyed, tortured husband & his family (outsiders) is just collateral damage with a payout.

One Bad day.
$ 7 billion company.

Bad experience continues.

[Deep @DeepStarts]

Bhavish Aggarwal was travelling from Bangalore to Bandipur.
Midway the driver stopped.
Started demanding more money than agreed.
Bhavish refused.

Driver left him on the highway and drove away.
No signal. Middle of nowhere.
He stood there and made a decision.

Quit Microsoft the next week.
Filed 2 patents there. Published 3 research papers.
Left all of it on the table.
Started Ola from scratch in 2010.

A cab driver abandoning him on a highway cost him one afternoon.
And gave India its largest cab company.
One bad ride.
$7 billion company.

YOUR PHONE IS TECHNICALLY A RADIO JAMMER THE MOMENT THE PLANE LEAVES THE RUNWAY.

Read to learn how👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

When you are on the street, your phone is quiet because the cell tower is close. But at 10,000 feet, your phone loses its grip and panics. It is programmed to never give up, so it cranks its internal transmitter to maximum power.

It starts screaming electronically to find a signal. Now I need you to imagine about 200 people with phones screaming at the same time, it creates a massive cloud of electromagnetic interference.

In the cockpit, the pilots can actually hear this. It sounds like a rhythmic click or a loud buzz in their headsets, similar to what a speaker does right before a phone rings. Think about the most dangerous three minutes of a flight: takeoff and landing.

This is when the pilot is receiving rapid-fire instructions from Air Traffic Control. If your phone buzzes at the exact second a controller gives a life-saving coordinate, the pilot might miss it.

Now in 2026, the danger has actually increased because of 5G. These new networks operate on frequencies very close to the Radio Altimeter. That is the tool that tells the pilot exactly how many feet the wheels are from the ground during a foggy landing.

If your phone is active and searching for 5G, it can cause the tool to give a false reading. Even a 10-foot error can be the difference between a smooth landing and a disaster.

Flight attendants tell you to switch it off because they have no way to verify if your Flight Mode is actually on. People lie and people forget too. Better safe than sorry.

In aviation, safety is based on a zero signal environment, not trusting 200 random strangers. Arguing with the crew is not a sign of being smart or exposed. It is a sign that you don't realise your device can literally drown out a pull up command in the pilot's ear.

We can do better!

INALEGWU.

@ari_maj @manishasinghal What about having a basic DVOR for navigation and approach? How are the flying schools preparing tomorrow's aviators with only VFR?

[manisha singhal @manishasinghal]

Baramati crash & the hypocrisy is staggering.

-No tears for pilot fatigue

-No questions about a so-called “airport” that’s really just a strip for VIP ops & training .

-No scrutiny of ATC communication.

-No accountability for the regulator or AAI that allowed this ‘strip’ to function.

💥Instead? Pilot was alcoholic! Convenient.

-If an “alcoholic” pilot was cleared to fly VIPs & a DCM, the failure is systemic, not individual.

-The pilot is dead. Blaming him solves nothing.

India’s rush for air connectivity without infrastructure, nav aids, or regulation is the real risk.
Burying that truth helps no one.
