@mybmc How can I get borehole water?

What about the 100 odd reconstruction bldgs in my area being converted from 3/4 stories to 25-50 storied towers do for water when they are completed?

And the reconstruction in the rest of the city...

Converting Mumbai into Bengaluru?

@BihuBiswas @BergerPaintsInd The same thing happened to me. Complained multiple times, went and met the Area manager for mumbai. Nothing happened.

This needs to be renamed as Roorkee Ayurvedic. It does not deserve to be an IIT. Industry should stop hiring any "so called" engineers from this place.

[IIT Roorkee @iitroorkee]

IIT Roorkee researchers have identified key bioactive compounds in Ayurvedic Cow Urine Distillate (Gau Mutra Ark), demonstrating significant antiviral activity against the Chikungunya virus.

Led by Prof. Shailly Tomar and her team from the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, the study reports over 90% reduction in viral load using Cow Urine Distillate and up to 99.85% reduction through an optimized natural compound-based formulation under laboratory conditions.

Published in ACS Agricultural Science & Technology, the research advances scientific understanding of Ayurveda-inspired antiviral therapeutics and highlights the potential of integrating traditional knowledge with modern biotechnology.

Autoplay is off. Spotify inserts nonsense in the Q. Locked episodes (which I cannot play). Random episodes which I have finished start playing. All because I follow the podcast but am not a member of @EmpirePodUK . Forced to unfollow.

Apart from the fully A.I generated article written for the Times of India by Mr. Ranjan Kumar with a degree in administration, the Principal Secy of AYUSH Department, Uttar Pradesh who is himself an I.A.S officer without any training in medicine or healthcare, none of the details in this AI fabricated and hallucinated article is really true of Yoga.

There is absolutely no way that an IAS officer is writing about NK cells and inflammatory signalling pathways and Yoga without even realising the folly. And Times of India directly published this garbage without vetting sources and citations with clinically relevant outcomes that are exaggerated and extrapolated by Mr Ranjan at the behest of the pseudoscience Ministry.

He exploits scientific terms to fit his narrative that Yoga is some kind of a magical panacea for a lot of preventive and therapeutic healthcare. It is not. Educated fools and uneducated dogma and religion loving imbeciles will drool over this article, not a scientifically tempered person.

Classical Yoga is an activity that is better than no activity. Classical Yoga is not aerobic which means it doesn't help your cardiovascular system.

Modernized and bastardized Yoga variants are more likely to benefit health than what was written in the ancient Yoga pseudoscientific scriptures.

Please go read Yoga texts before making A.I write an article for your masters.

There's a secret history of India's software exports that has been quietly buried.

It wasn't the IT giants that we know today who pioneered software service exports — government-run organisations like ASCI and CMC did it much before that.

In the 1970s, ASCI in Hyderabad began exporting software to Soviet bloc countries to earn foreign exchange to buy computer hardware. It sold software packages for "financial accounting, vehicle scheduling, classroom scheduling" and even "went to work at customer sites in Russia—what came to be known as onsite work" (Sharma, Dinesh C. Beyond Biryani: The Making of Globalised Hyderabad, Westland, Chennai, 2024, p.170).

In the 1980s, CMC (Computer Maintenance Corporation) — also from Hyderabad — developed various software for the government, especially the railways. Its success helped it win the contract to "develop scheduling and signalling of London Underground"(Op.cit., p.174)

Government-funded programmes helped lay the foundation of the IT services industry in India. Many of the private companies that emerged in the 1980s came from this ecosystem and were started by people trained in these govt organisations.

Incidentally, the Tatas got full management control of CMC in 2001 and then merged it into TCS in 2004.

(I learnt most of this only in 2024 when I was asked to review @dineshcsharma's book Beyond Biryani. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history of Indian tech)

Just 7 states control 94% of India's FDI.

Maharashtra alone has pulled in ₹8.59 lakh crore since October 2019. Add Gujarat, Karnataka, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Haryana and Telangana, and you've accounted for almost all of the ₹27.26 lakh crore that's flowed into the country.

Meanwhile, states like Bihar, Jharkhand and the entire Northeast are fighting for scraps.

This isn't really about who has the best "investment climate." It's about ports, talent pools and decades of infrastructure compounding on themselves. Once a state becomes the default choice for global capital, it's incredibly hard to dislodge.

So here's the question: can policy alone fix this gap, or is geography just destiny when it comes to FDI?

@theliverdoc The system often leaves ordinary citizens feeling helpless. Courts take years, and police ignore our pleas.
@Tukaram_IndIAS sir, as Maharashtra's FDA Commissioner, we urgently need your intervention. There is a valid case against a company putting our little ones at risk.

I went to few medical shops in my town. I simply asked “give me ORS drink”!

All five b@stards gave me ERZL which was previously ORSL.

I argued “Why you are giving me this when i asked ORS drink”

“This is same, only O is changed with e.”

@chinmay If the politician refuses to fire the Babu and just transfers him, then it is because of some vested interest. Plus the govt has a big hand in appointment of Babus and Judiciary during their tenure and after their retirement.

[VU2tapori @vu2tapori]

@theliverdoc @arunprakashlk Perhaps the Dept of AYUSH has been promoted by the dept of Family planning to cover up their failure leading to India becoming the most populous country on the planet. Perhaps they think this is the fastest way to reduce the population!

Deccan Herald confirmed: 'Govt has NO PLAN to go back to E0.' Ethanol-free petrol is gone from India forever. Vintage bike owner. Carburetted two-stroke. Racing vehicle. Sensitive medical generator. There is no pure petrol for you, anywhere in this country. A fuel monopoly enforced without a single parliamentary vote.

[Pune Mirror @ThePuneMirror]

Residents and housing societies in Pimpri-Chinchwad have raised concerns over PCMC's decision to levy property tax on common amenity spaces such as parking areas, gardens, clubhouses, gyms and open spaces. The civic body says the move aims to bring previously unregistered properties into the tax system, but societies argue that these shared facilities are essential services and should not attract additional charges. The new tax is expected to increase maintenance costs for many residents.
