Quite SHOCKING - The Samsung 990 Pro 4TB SSD costs ₹46,000 in the US. In India? ₹1,13,660. Same drive. Same brand. Made in South Korea. The entire price difference was created in government offices — not factories. (Detailed Article Link in the end) 🧵 Here's exactly how they did it 👇

@saaiyer This is the tastiest Indian food. Full of nutrition and taste. It is better than nothing and it is better than all the western food clubbed together.

Carb on carb on carb with sugar and some fried food. What can wrong with our children? Nothing! Just malnutrition with more stunting, muscle wastage and prep for diabetes as they grow older.

Here’s a concise long-tweet style reply: Here are some reasons why latecomers are not allowed into exams like NEET: • Prevents answer sharing and paper leak risks. • Ensures the same rules apply to every candidate. • Allows biometric verification and security checks to be completed properly. • Reduces impersonation and cheating opportunities. • Avoids legal challenges from candidates who followed the rules. • Prevents disruption to students already writing the exam. • Protects the security chain of question papers. The individual case may be heartbreaking, but national-level exams involving lakhs of students are run on uniform rules, not case-by-case discretion. The moment exceptions begin, fairness, security, and credibility become difficult to maintain.

This is heartbreaking How does it matter if the aspirant is late? If anything the kid gets less time to finish the paper right? What’s the logic in shunting them away? Pls explain if I missed something

@ripper_dhruvaa It is your social media algorithm because you like those posts where BJP is getting thrashed so you are seeing more of those posts. That is why you think everyone hates BJP but that's not true.

How is BJP still winning when everyone hates this party? Genuine answer, please.

@ManjeshKumarPa For Corruption In one Frame.

India need this leadership for all issues...!!!!!

@rautsanjay61 You were once with BJP... what happened ??🤣🤣🤣

50 50 कोटीला विकले गेलेले चार खासदार मुंबई विमानतळावर उतरले आणि भेदरलेल्या नजरेने शशस्त्र पोलिस गराड्यात बाहेर पडले ये जिना भी क्या जिना है लल्लू? चित्रगुप्ताने पापांचा हिशोब लिहायला सुरुवात केली आहे! ह्यांची पुढील पिढी सांगेल मेरा बाप गद्दार था मेरा पती गद्दार था मेरा नाना गद्दार था! जय महाराष्ट्र! @OmRajenimbalkr @mieknathshinde @Dev_Fadnavis

@Anika_Breaths What a blah writing!!

I am not a supporter of TMC, nor do I belong to any political camp. But fairness demands that truth be spoken. Whatever one’s political views may be, Mamata Banerjee is one Chief Minister who dedicated herself unconditionally for her state. She was one who contributed relentlessly during every crisis of Bengal during her Governance. Mamata Banerjee dedicated her youth and more than half her life to building the TMC from the ground up. She stood against powerful forces, fought unyielding political battles, faced intimidation, humiliation and countless obstacles, yet never gave up. The party that exists today was built on her struggle, sacrifice, and determination. Yes, she made mistakes. Yes, she trusted the wrong people. And some of those very people, whom she nurtured and elevated, chose to repay her loyalty with betrayal when she needed support the most. They plunged a dagger into the heart of the person who gave them their political identity. No leader is perfect and Mamata Banerjee is no exception. There were shortcomings, there were limitations and there were corrupt individuals within the party, as there are in almost every political party. But the fact remains that she carried the burden of the movement largely on her own shoulders and lived a life far simpler than most politicians. Today, to see attempts being made to humiliate, sideline or even remove the very person who created the party through blood, sweat, tears and decades of sacrifice is heartbreaking. And not to forget, the entire BJP machinery has, quite successfully, executed its strategy of portraying her as the villain in the public narrative. BJP has mastered the art of shaping perceptions and controlling political narratives. No parties do it as effectively as they do. Politics may forget. Power may forget. Opportunists may forget. But history remembers. And one question remains: Where is justice? Where is conscience? And where is God when loyalty is rewarded with betrayal? Mamata Banerjee doesn’t deserve this. I wish to see the end .

@sagarikaghose @narendramodi @ThePrintIndia Duh... Modi is the PM of India. How else do you think India should be represented? With a big photo standee of Indian MAP. 🤣

The Instagram-isation of India’s foreign policy. How @narendramodi turned India’s foreign policy into a social media meme, in which Modi is visible, but India is not. My column in @ThePrintIndia . theprint.in/opinion/our-fo…

@NateMatherson Damn I wish God never gives me a life like that !

If your WFH desk setup doesn't cost more than a used Honda Civic, you aren't serious about your pipeline. My ergonomic chair is built from the salvaged suspension of a 2019 Tesla Model S. My primary monitor is a converted IMAX screen I bought from a bankrupt theater in Oakland. When I drag a cell in Google Sheets, I physically have to rotate my entire torso. I burn 400 active calories a day just searching for the Slack icon. Stop complaining about back pain and optimize your environment.

@sphavisha Damn you cannot be a Doctor for real if you support this!!

Prolonged collective silence of common people has led us here to this hypocrisy and dark reality

@sabeer Today he is teaching world's oldest Dharma, for the lack of better word 'religion', to 1.2 billion Hindus, without knowing the 1.2 % of it. The guts it takes to be this arrogant and dumb at the same time.

The current form of Hinduism looks for God outside. In reality, God is within each of us. Course correction needed.

@sagarikaghose Then Why Nehru didn't resign after 1962 China war.

In democracies, usually, when elected officials are accountable to the public, and they fail the governance test, they resign. Of course when they are self styled non-biological messengers of God there is no such compulsion. #KeirStarmer

This photograph stayed with me. Not because it is Rahul Gandhi. Not because it is politics. But because of what it reveals about the strange times we live in. A politician floating in the waters of Great Nicobar, trying to understand what lies beneath the surface before speaking about one of the largest and most ecologically contentious projects in independent India. It struck me that there are two ways of looking at a country. One is from the comfort of air-conditioned rooms, surrounded by books, data sheets, opinion polls and ideological certainties. The other is by walking dusty roads, sitting with ordinary people, climbing mountains, entering forests, crossing rivers and, sometimes, diving into the sea. I know which one I find more convincing. The Great Nicobar project is not merely a development project. It is about ancient rainforests, irreplaceable coral ecosystems, endangered species, indigenous communities and a fragile geography that took millions of years to evolve. Yet much of our mainstream media discusses it as if it were a real-estate brochure. Every forest becomes “vacant land.” Every river becomes a “resource.” Every coastline becomes an “investment opportunity.” Every environmental concern becomes an “obstacle to progress.” And every citizen who raises questions becomes anti-development. The same media that rolls out red carpets for corporate promoters and celebrates every mega-project with breathless enthusiasm suddenly discovers scepticism when Rahul Gandhi talks about environmental destruction. The same television anchors who never ask difficult questions about forests being cleared, mountains being blasted or coastlines being transformed overnight become relentless interrogators when someone questions those projects. It is a fascinating form of journalism. The billionaire gets a prime-time celebration. The rainforest gets a footnote. The coral reef gets ignored. The tribal community gets erased. And the politician raising uncomfortable questions gets mocked. Meanwhile, many of our public intellectuals continue their favourite pastime: measuring leadership from a safe distance. A leader walks across India? Publicity stunt. A leader sits with farmers? Optics. A leader meets tribal communities? Symbolism. A leader dives into the sea to understand an ecological crisis? Performance. Apparently, the highest form of public service is sitting comfortably in a chair and explaining why everyone else is inadequate. The irony is almost poetic. For decades, India’s environmental movements have pleaded for leaders who would listen to scientists, conservationists, indigenous communities and ordinary citizens before approving projects that alter landscapes forever. Now, when a major political leader actually invests time and energy in understanding such concerns, he is ridiculed for doing exactly that. Looking at this photograph, I was reminded of a simple truth. A nation is not understood from drawing rooms alone. It is understood from its forests. Its rivers. Its mountains. Its coastlines. Its villages. Its people. And sometimes, from beneath the sea. The armchair experts may continue debating gravitas. The television studios may continue manufacturing narratives. The corporate cheerleaders may continue selling dreams of limitless development. But this image tells a different story. It shows a politician willing to leave the shore. And in today’s India, that is rarer than many would like to admit.

@TheReal_Jassi White skin - My lord, you are great. Brown skin Indian - You are dirty and corrupt. When will Indians learn to respect their own and stop bowing to West. Mental slavery still hasn't gone.

Keir Starmer didn't do Vote Chori, Modi did.

Because it's not one student. 22 Lakh students. Imagine if all the students had the flexibility to come in and go out anytime. A headache for the invigilators, centre heads, and even the students appearing. It's an exam centre, not a shopping mall.

The whole emotional drama on kids not being allowed to appear for exam for being late is symptom of deep rooted chalta hai attitude! We don’t want to respect discipline or our own rules. Kids had 2.5 hour window to reach exam centre which was known for weeks in advance yet they reached late fully knowing the repercussions . All these bleeding hearts India to become like Japan China or Europe but don’t want the basic discipline all these countries have. It doesn’t work both ways. So stop crying over the crying kids. They learnt a lesson for the life about being punctual #NEET

If 100 students are appearing for NEET at a centre and 60% arrive on time while 40% fail to make it before the gate closes, then it's an issue that needs to be examined. But if only 1–2% of students arrive late, then the responsibility largely lies with those students/parents.

“Swiss timing” isn’t the issue. Exam integrity is. The moment the paper starts, every minute increases the risk of leaks, communication, and unequal conditions. A national exam with millions of candidates cannot run on “Indian Stretchable Time.” If 2 minutes is acceptable, why not 5? Why not 10? Why not 15? The rule becomes whatever generates the most sympathy on social media that day. Rules announced months in advance are not unfair. Expecting them to be waived for you is.

Dumb suggestion. Here is why - This sounds compassionate until you think about how large-scale exams actually work. Timed entry isn’t just about punishing latecomers. It’s about exam integrity. Once the exam starts, even a few minutes can be enough for information to leak outside the center. A candidate arriving late could potentially receive details about the paper, questions, or patterns from someone who has already entered. In exams involving millions of students and high-stakes careers, rules have to be designed for the system, not for individual anecdotes. If exceptions become routine, every delay becomes a dispute, every center becomes responsible for judging excuses, and the scope for favoritism and litigation explodes. It is unfortunate when genuine candidates are delayed by circumstances beyond their control. But a rule that is harsh in a few cases may still be necessary to protect fairness for everyone else. The purpose of a competitive exam is not merely to test knowledge; it is also to ensure that every candidate takes the test under identical conditions.

I may be proposing something radical but what exactly is the point of timed entry on exams ? A student comes late, he/ she gets less time to answer. That’s punishment enough. Why stop anyone from appearing ? It’s not administrative hassle also because while thousands have entered and giving their exam, a single person can just be appointed to check the late entry and let them go in. Yes, it’s all about discipline and seriousness of the event, but we all have faced situations where things were out of our control. Flights, trains etc getting cancelled, road blocked due to many reasons, health etc etc. The data leans more towards students coming on time and hence the automatic thought process that those coming on time are more serious, keen and particular. But that doesn’t actually imply that if someone is late, their dedication can be questioned. We don’t know what caused the delay. Let students appear. Give them a chance at least. They’ve worked all their lives for this single exam and day. Let reduced time be the penalty. But not letting them appear isn’t fair. 🙏
