@talk2anuradha Your argument is besides the point Justice Chandrachud made. Discrimination exists is a reality. Reservation has helped to some extent, but it is not the long term solution. The change will have to come from within.

Totally disagree with Justice Chandrachud here If 75 years of Reservations has not solved discrimination issue, then it's time to rethink. Not only it punishes General Category, but ensures caste consciousness still thrives in 2026. Reservation is a failed experiment. Period.

@WokePandemic Who's right or wrong is not the point. This shouldn't be the priority in the first place when endless footpaths lie unattended, and this seems to be privately beautifully developed.

Rameshwar Cafe in Pune had to face this action from Authorities Same authority first gives permission or allows it and same authority decides to demolish it. Can you guess why?

@VishakhRanotra Hiring am intern/contractor is the move then

@VishakhRanotra You can ignore drawings as long as you are okay to receive the parts with default tolerances per Iso 2768

I need to create technical drawings, raw stock sizes and cycle times of each and every component (there are hundreds) of our CNC machines. I’ve been doing it manually and I feel like it will be the death of me. Please tell me there is an easier way to do it or automate it. 🙏🏼

@VishakhRanotra - Try and use standard OTS parts as much as possible so the ext PN can be linked along with drawings - Ignore 2D for the ones that can get away with relaxed default tolerances - For the rest it’s a painful one time investment for basic part + asm drawing

@jignasu_in @samyak128 Are there any smart options that anyone has tried that prevented people from trashing the places again? Funnily I think the only two places people keep clean are - Their own home and places of worship

@samyak128 Please look up the Ugly Indian. The slogan was literally kaam chalu mooh band. We tried doing this in Bangalore, we actively cleaned spaces & beautified it by painting Some stayed, some or most went back to the same state eventually. I personally gave up because it felt futile.

@sanjeevsanyal This post might get you an invite for lunar new year celebration 🧧 It’s amazing how open people are to sharing their culture and food!

How does one get invited?

@IndianTechGuide Subsidise commercial upgrade to non polluting vehicles, start investing in mega charger stations (this will be a bigger challenge since India’s grid will prioritise home use before commercial transportation)

🚨 Trucks are just 3% of India's vehicles, but produce 53% of all particulate matter emissions. (IIM Bangalore report)

@mayursejpal @Dev_Fadnavis More lush green public parks please; anywhere, everywhere.

I think this is the perfect patch for the central park of mumbai... @Dev_Fadnavis ji

@SomTheBuilder While setting big goals, not being able to execute on such basics is very disappointing. This is similar to the experience at International terminals at Indian airports. These things matter - as they are the first touch points to any potential international investors.

Today’s India AI summit was a disaster, and it was not our AI minds that let us down. There were many issues, but the most prominent ones are outlined below. First was crowd management. There were lines so long that you couldn’t see the end at the entry gate itself. While the first event started at 9:30 a.m., the entry gate was not opened on time. In fact, I reached there before 9:20 a.m., but I could only enter the premises at 10:10 a.m. I had to go through two or three rounds of rigorous screening to enter, and each line was nearly 300 people long. Once inside, many session rooms were not fit for the audience size. Some rooms were over-occupied, with people standing, and you couldn’t even leave your seat for fear of someone else taking it. At the same time, other auditoriums were half-empty. The venue was not at all accessible or inclusive. Construction debris was lying around. There were pylons everywhere. It was completely inaccessible for wheelchair users or visually impaired attendees. There were no signs in multiple languages. In fact, there was a lack of signage in general. The food court was extremely limited. Even basic Indian weddings know you need four or five parallel counters to manage a crowd of 300. Here, we were dealing with thousands of attendees. There was also visible segregation. Certain food and water areas were accessible only to select members and cordoned off from others. Although the session intimation mentioned that delegates could attend any session within the premises, this was not true. Many sessions were closed-door. Security even had to shut down several sessions in the west wing due to overcrowding, and many people missed out. There was no seating provided across the premises. Elderly attendees or people with children had nowhere to rest. Even in the dining area, seating was inadequate. There were barely twenty to thirty tables in total. Most people were sitting on the grass or eating standing up. Most people attend summits for networking, yet there were no proper spaces, alcoves, or side rooms to sit and talk. I was meeting a very senior professional, and we had to take shelter in a corner on Level 2 just to have a quiet conversation. I want to take nothing away from the quality of the sessions. I attended excellent discussions by disaster management professionals explaining how drone imagery is being used for better disaster response. I learned about the India Energy Stack being developed to democratize energy access and empower prosumers. I saw how AI is being deployed to improve road safety. There were many high-level applications on display and many senior professionals sharing thoughtful insights. But unless we get the basics right, we cannot claim to be utilizing AI to its fullest. AI is only part of the system. We must solve basic on-ground issues first. If we want to project an amazing image of India, we cannot afford such simple mistakes. Grateful to have met amazing people along the way who helped me survive today! #IndiaAISummit2026 #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 #IndiaAIExpo

@sardesairajdeep Lol

This is EPIC!😂😊

@PrinceArihan 100%

The land conversion mafia and their political protectors both must be thrown out of Goa.

@marinebharat Don’t be the Trump of pollution. If you believe in Indian talent - This study from IITK has been out for 2 years - please read and give the real issues the seriousness it needs - home.iitk.ac.in/~mukesh/Public…

AQI increases to 3 digits every morning… becomes 2 digits by 11 AM to 3 PM and starts to increase again by evening These machines are basically capturing micro dust inside Dew Particles.. hence a Scam. AQI is a scam to sell you the most useless tech - Air Purifiers

@jai_a_dehadrai It’s not even funny anymore, India truly deserves a more responsible and intellectual opposition leadership no matter how good/bad the ruling party is. Why is this guy still relevant- he had 0 achievements to show.

This is the mindless drivel one has to endure when a man-child dynast, who has zero experience of working a real job that requires the application of mind or skill, nonetheless possesses the unshakable confidence to pontificate on how India should “deal” and “negotiate” with the United States. They will eat him before breakfast. Rahul Gandhi is an utter and complete embarrassment and the Congress Party with a leader like this is destined to remain irrelevant for the foreseeable future.

@ShekharGupta @mihirssharma Central Government has done a lot of things right, but States have been disastrous, struggling with the same old - Lack of cleanliness - Lack of sustainable public infrastructure - Pollution at all levels - Air, water, Food, Noise - Local level corruption

You could say that again, and again.. 'India is wealthier, but its cities are unliveable' Mihir Sharma @mihirssharma writes theprint.in/india/india-is…

@VishakhRanotra Need both labor intensive low tech and precision high tech manufacturing to fire on all cylinders.

Has to be done. Needs to be done. Manufacture here!

@marinebharat Where's the wooden walkway?

My Quality of Life will degrade massively the day I step foot outside India Blessed to born and living life to the fullest in Bharat 🇮🇳 - World’s fastest growing Economy Infra works of ₹2 lakh crores within 5 KM range 😇 Pic Source - me

@anandmahindra @PMCPune 3. Moreover there isn't a dedicated sustenance department that's serious in maintaining public goods. Preventative maintenance is missing in most of the projects again leading to failure of sustenance high quality service.

@anandmahindra @PMCPune No doubt a great start! However it's easier to build harder to maintain. The real test will be what the above picture looks like in 2-3 yrs. I have seen similar well designed and built footpaths deteriorate progressively and people switch back to🚶‍♂️on roads.

Good to see @PMCPune taking concrete steps to repair and upgrade footpaths across the city. 👏 Last November, I wrote about how well-designed, continuous pavements can transform urban life, often faster and at far lower cost than big-ticket projects. Footpaths aren’t add-ons to roads. They are the most democratic layer of a city. They mean safer streets, walkable neighbourhoods, healthier citizens, and more vibrant local businesses. A town planning policy of ‘Footpaths First, essentially puts ‘People First’.

@anandmahindra @PMCPune 2. Hence we see public utilities treat the infrastructure like nobody's business - digging and patching for siloed departmental work - ultimately leading to premature destruction.

@anandmahindra @PMCPune 1. The issue is not that local civic bodies don't build - it's that the system is not designed to repair, maintain and work in harmony with other departments. There is no single platform which maps public infrastructure geographically.
