India trains the engineer. America files the patents. Gurtej Sandhu was raised in Amritsar and trained at IIT Delhi. He now holds 1,299 US patents at Micron, Edison topped out at 1,093. Sandhu is the 7th most prolific inventor in American history. His titanium nitride deposition work is why every DRAM cell in your phone and every GPU training a foundation model actually holds charge. Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix own 95% of global DRAM. None of them are Indian. We export the inventor. We import the chip.

@clrtlaltron @chand2579 Currently ,NKR is kind of bits and pieces player who does not command a place in test side based on either his batting or bowling .Auqiib Nabi Dar would have been better .

@Ritz1975 @chand2579 Assuming pace not good enough for a frontline pacer and currently we don't need a 3rd pacer. Nkr will probably do that job and nabi mostly did well on green tops which won't be the case. They are picking on raw attributes that'll get importance at the international level.

Gurnoor Brar has not played a single game in the IPL this season, so his selection has come as a surprise to many. But if you have followed his short career, you can tell that the selectors have been grooming him by picking him for A games against South Africa A and Australia A

The NEET paper leak would probably have stayed buried forever if a school teacher from Sikar had not refused to stay silent. Shashikant Suthar, a chemistry teacher from Rajasthan, was shown a “guess paper” by one of his neighbors after the NEET exam. That PDF had reportedly been circulating in Telegram groups for weeks. Out of curiosity, he matched it with the real exam paper. The result was terrifying. Around 140 questions were identical. Same sequence. Same wording. Even punctuation marks matched. He rushed to the local police station expecting immediate action. Nobody listened. No FIR. No urgency. No investigation. But instead of giving up, he kept escalating the matter emailing the NTA, PMO, President of India, and CBI while continuously raising the issue online. Only then did the system move. Rajasthan Police formed a Special Operations Group. What initially looked like a small leak soon exploded into a nationwide examination scam connected across multiple states. The case eventually reached the CBI. NEET was cancelled. And investigators uncovered an organized network of professional paper leak operators. This entire scandal was exposed because one ordinary teacher decided that remaining silent was not an option. Sometimes one honest citizen is more powerful than an entire broken system.

Why is the West not curious on the great Indian 🇮🇳 civilization? This week Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Norway. The government rolled out the red carpet. King Harald invited for lunch. All bigwigs of Norwegian business turned up. This is of course as it should be at such a historic visit. Rather different was media. No curiosity, no real attempt to understand India. When the third most powerful man in the world visits Norway, you may expect some real interest? An attempt to understand the world’s third largest economy, a global green leader, one of the world’s brightest civilizations?? It’s not that Norway is overrun with visit at this level. Last Indian top visit was Indira Gandhi in 1983. Last Chinese president visit was 1996, last American president was 2009. Here are some taste bits from Norwegian media: * Aftenposten the largest newspaper printed a caricature of Modi as a snake charmer, many found it racist and derogatory. The accompanying article (written by an otherwise brilliant journalist) described Modi as a “slightly annoying man” and simply showcased that India is not high on the papers reading lists. * Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), the state broadcaster, explained “why prime minister Støre is clearing his desk to receive Modi”. From everyone outside Norway I got exactly the opposite question: Why did Modi use his valuable time in such a small and insignificant place? * Dagsavisen, a left of center daily, sent a young journalist to throw questions after Modi - claiming that India is 157 on a global democracy ranking. When a ranking is so contrary to common sense - why doesnt she ask those who created the ranking why they spread such nonsense? I am not aware of one Norwegian journalist closely following India. NOT ONE! How can the public learn more? Unless you believe democracy only fits a handful of small, homogenous, ultra rich western nations, India is the miracle of democracy. The large, complex, lingustically and religiously diverse nation with many poor people - which has etablished a vibrant democracy and is much less violent than Europe or America. India can in fact make a claim to be the worlds most homegrown and impressive democracy. We are entering the Asian century. Unless we Europeans become more curious - to civiliazation, history, politics and economy in the Global South - we will become the big losers of history.

Booked an @AkasaAir ticket via @agoda and accidentally selected Navi Mumbai instead of Mumbai. Tried cancelling via Agoda - they showed a cancellation fee of ₹4,764 and refund of just ₹1,571. Then I checked directly with Akasa Air. Akasa Air’s own cancellation page shows: • Total deduction: ₹299 • Refund amount: ₹6,076 Akasa customer care also confirmed the airline cancellation charge is only ₹299, and since the booking was made through Agoda, the refund would go back to Agoda. So the obvious question: If the airline is deducting only ₹299, why is Agoda charging me ₹4,764? That’s an extra ₹4,465 for what exactly? Charging 15x the airline’s actual cancellation fee for the same ticket feels completely unethical. @agodaindia please explain this loot. @AkasaAir passengers deserve transparency from booking partners. @jagograhakjago @MoCA_GoI

@dj_america73671 @_be_logical__ @ErikSolheim @IndiainNorway @norwayinindia @RinaSunder @norwayindia @Aftenposten @Dagsavisen What a joke 🤣 and shallow understanding !!

@_be_logical__ @ErikSolheim @IndiainNorway @norwayinindia @RinaSunder @norwayindia @Aftenposten @Dagsavisen But Norway government is not killing his own citizens right Which Indian Modi government doing

@torsae @ErikSolheim @IndiainNorway @norwayinindia @RinaSunder @norwayindia @Aftenposten @Dagsavisen It's a bullshit ranking ..when 180-200 odd "selected" press give ratings to assess 180 countries, such hogwash pf World press freedom index should be thrown to where it belongs-dustbin

Hi, Erik. Helle is a close friend of mine, and she deserves better than to be publicly misquoted by you. What you call a "global democracy index" is actually the World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders. Don't you agree there is a big difference? Helle is a brilliant journalist who simply asked a solid question to PM Modi. I do not understand why that makes people so upset, that they start twisting the truth about what happened, but maybe you can explain?

Can you guess this bowler in the below picture 👇 Without using AI or any other internet option

No amount of justification can convince me of the non-selection of Aquib Nabi. Poor guy bowled his heart out for two seasons and picked 100+ #RanjiTrophy wickets only to be ignored for someone who had played just 2 games this season. Please stop this nonsensical justifications: Hit the deck bowler, hit the head bowler, hence picked. While I can understand they are special skill sets, it can’t be rewarded without decent game time, by ignoring someone with unprecedented performances for seasons. I’m afraid, a wrong message has been sent out to the youngsters who are giving their heart and soul in the #RanjiTrophy

There was never much love lost between Arjuna Ranatunga and some Australians, and his spat with Ian Healy in the 1996 Sydney ODI final summed it up. When Ranatunga complained of cramp, Healy was caught on the stump mic saying: ’‘You don’t get a runner for being an overweight, unfit, fat c***.” Healy: “Sanath Jayasuriya was padded up, the fastest man in world cricket, to replace the slowest man. So I blew up. There was no way he was as injured as he was making out. He was nine not out or something, and he said it was cramp.’’ Ironically, the pair later shared dinner together in Brisbane. #ThrowbackThursday

@BabajiSutar3 Sadagoppan Ramesh

Blud became became an MVP (Man of the Series) on debut but rapidly disappeared from international cricket like he had never existed before !

@OversLife Nantie Hayward

You might recall his face… but can you name this Cricketer❓ Fun fact: Bowled the fastest recorded delivery by a South African (154 km / hr) ⚡️ Australian legend Steve Waugh wrote in his autobiography that he was amazed that “this bowler” didn’t become world-class… Also admitted the Australian dressing room would cheer whenever 🇿🇦 left him out.

@clrtlaltron @chand2579 I think we need a bowling allrounder and he would have been a better fit compared to NKR especially with NZ tour coming up .You cannot expect a rookie to bot the grounds running in away tears and letting him be part of dressing room and possibly playing XI would have been better.

@ErikSolheim @harshvshringla This is bulshit ranking gained by polling approx. 200 or so selected people who are supposed to represent 180+ nations .What kind of tomfoolery is this ?

In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy! During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape. May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy? Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process? In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people? The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings. It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world. Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges. Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy? India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.

@RajeswariAiyer @Sanjay_Dixit Good ..we had a US client for a visit once and our security in deferential mode allowed them in without visitor badge .Later , whole addressing the team , he flagged it as an issue and told that he expected him to be issued visitor badge to go to the ODC :).

America Gets a Taste of Its Own Medicine No Badge, No Entry — China to Washington: “Credentials First, Superpower Later.” US Treasury Secretary Basent entered the venue without wearing the conference badge and was directly stopped by Chinese security guards. He was only allowed in after his entourage brought the credentials. After Decades of Checking Others, America Got Checked That's right, no matter who you are, you have to follow the rules. 🤔 Event & Place: During the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing on May 14, 2026, at the entrance to the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂). US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (贝森特) was briefly stopped by Chinese security personnel over a badge/credential issue.

My school had 4 houses Bhabha Sarabhai Raman Bose What about yours?

@shriharap @hvgoenka Dec /Jan schedule will never happen as iconic matches like boxing day tests are played and it clashes with Australia/SA/NZ summer .Their Cricket boards will never give NOC to their players during those months .

@hvgoenka I totally agree with #IPL being played in Dec-Jan dry months where no matches will get abandoned or disturbed by rain. April-May is worst time where match gets disturbed by weather and students are disturbed from studying for competitive exams.

My article in Times of India today

@OversLife Gary Gilmour

Can you answer who he is without using internet❓ He was a left-arm swing bowler and useful batsman… Famous for his heroic 6/14 in the 1975 World Cup semi-final against England. Injuries and competition from Lillee/Thomson limited him. Often compared to Alan Davidson but overlooked. Could player only 15 Tests (54 wickets at ~26) and a handful of ODIs in the mid-1970s.
