India’s first, in Odisha 🇮🇳 The country’s first Advanced 3D Glass Semiconductor Packaging Unit to break ground in Bhubaneswar on April 19, 2026. Powering the future - aerospace, defence, AI, 5G & data centres. 2,500 jobs • 50 million units/year Odisha is stepping onto the global semiconductor stage.

A 65-year-old man added his son as nominee to his bank account. After his death, bank refused to release funds. Reason: “legal heir certificate required.” Son filed complaint. Court said: nominee is a trustee, not the owner — but bank cannot refuse release. Funds ordered to be released immediately. Nominee doesn’t mean ownership. But it also doesn’t mean the bank can hold your money hostage.

ये बहुत ही शानदार निर्णय है इससे insurance के लिए भुगतान किए जाने वाले करोड़ों रुपये के प्रीमियम को देश से बाहर जाने से रोका जा सकेगा और foreign insurance कंपनियों पर भारत की निर्भरता भी कम होगी।

I have seen intelligent people destroy their careers by never learning to play dumb strategically. And game theory explains why: in most high-stakes hierarchies, influence is perceived as a zero-sum game. If you appear "too intelligent," you are perceived as a threat. That locks you out of important networks. Let the others feel superior for a while, and hide your intelligence until deployment.

Sachin Tendulkar narrates a story 🎤 India were playing against New Zealand in Mohali when Cairns was in middle of a good bowling spell, bowling at him and Rahul Dravid. Tendulkar reveals that the ball was reverse-swinging and Cairns was beating them two to three times in the over. Tendulkar mentions that they were getting beaten as they were clueless as to where the shine and where the rough side was on the ball. “I told Rahul Dravid that I had an idea, since i was at the non-strikers end I was closer to the bowler so when he is walking back to his run-up, I would be watching him closely and I’d be watching the ball, so i could tell which side was shiny and which one was rough. So I told Rahul that whichever side was the shiny side, I’d hold my bat in that hand. If he bowled an outswinger the bat would be in my left hand, if it was an inswinger that was coming, the bat would be in the right hand.,” said the master blaster when asked about his revolutionary strategy. “That’s the only time in my career I’ve seen a batsman looking at me instead of the bowler who was bowling,” added Tendulkar. “In short, it’s all about being a step ahead of the opposition

THE COUNTRY TO WATCH OUT FOR IS NOT CHINA, IT IS INDIA Modi is playing Geopolitical chess better than anyone

Such a heartwarming story: If just ten percent of our population opened our hearts and treated every Domestic and Foreign Tourist with this Pure, overflowing Love… we can generate a trillion dollars from Tourism every year.

If the goal, as the PM keeps saying, is women's empowerment and nothing else, then here's a plan: 181 of 543 seats reserved for women in next Lok Sabha. Done. Everything else in the constitutional amendment has nothing to do with women's empowerment. It's just politician enrichment.

Humble Tributes to Biju Patnaik on his death anniversary. #DidYouKnow Most of his ventures proudly carried the name “Kalinga”. - Kalinga Airlines (nationalized and merged into Indian Airlines in 1953) - Kalinga Refractories - Kalinga Tubes - Kalinga Iron Works - Kalinga Refrigerator - Kalinga Publications - Kalinga Mines This reflects his deep love for the state and its heritage. He is also the founding father of one of the biggest ports in India - Paradip port. The credit has been duly given on their website. ‘UNESCO Kalinga prize’ was started by him to popularize science across the world. Kalinga Cup: Established the national-level football tournament in 1961.  Odisha will always remain proud of its beloved “Biju Babu.” 🙏 A heartfelt tribute to a legend.

@sachin_rt All format Team India captain should be Shreyas - But still he plays only one format 🫣

What made Shreyas Iyer’s catch so special was not just the athleticism, but the awareness behind it. He had to judge the speed of the ball, the height, where the boundary rope was, how close he was to stepping on it, and get his jump absolutely perfect. Then, while still in the air, he caught the ball and released it to a teammate before landing, all the while knowing exactly where that fielder was positioned. To process all of that in a split second takes unbelievable awareness, timing, fitness, and composure. @ShreyasIyer15 got everything spot on. One of the best catches I’ve ever seen live! x.com/IPL/status/204…

I love how he calls out the BCCI for not improving the stadiums. He says 50% money of IPL was left on the table for BCCI so it could be funneled to the state associations for infra improvement. But nothing is happening. With the money BCCI has, we could have better stadiums than Lord's, but we have shit instead

Why does Bangalore have useless Infrastructure? One Major Reason, is what I refer to as Dhandho Mindset of people up top in government: Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has converted over 1000 acres of mostly agricultural land for residential purposes in a span of one year for years. The BDA also routinely clears the formation of dozens of private housing layouts and high-rise buildings annually. In all, 2500 Acres. This leads to unorganised development in certain pockets, making it difficult to provide basic infrastructure such as water supply, drainage and road network. Urban planners believe the sheer number of approvals, especially in the absence of a zonal plan, will turn peripheral areas into an “urban slum”. For BDA, Dhandho se bada koi Dharm nahi.

Interviewer: You're an IIT engineer working in tech. Why join civil services? Kajal Meena, RAS (2024 batch), state topper (ST): Because a civil servant has authority to bring positive change in people’s lives. Yesterday she was arrested by the ACB for accepting a ₹60k bribe.

**NVIDIA JUST TERMINATED 800 SOFTWARE ENGINEERS WHILE JENSEN HUANG COLLECTED $7.8 BILLION IN STOCK WEALTH AND ANNOUNCED THEY'RE REPLACING THEM WITH THEIR OWN AI CODING AGENTS** The same company selling AI chips to automate everyone else just automated their own goddamn engineers 800 software engineers. Gone. The people who built CUDA, who optimized the drivers, who made the AI revolution possible in the first place Jensen's personal net worth jumped $7.8 billion in Q1 alone while he walked out the humans who created his empire But here's the truly sick part: sources inside are saying NVIDIA's new "CodeGen AI" agents wrote 73% of their latest driver updates The engineers getting terminated? They spent the last 18 months training those exact systems "Workforce optimization through internal AI deployment" is corporate speak for "we taught machines to replace ourselves and now we're fired" I'm hearing the remaining teams are 90% prompt engineers managing AI workflows with skeleton crews of senior architects The company that's powering every other tech layoff just ate its own children Stock hit $1,847 after the announcement because Wall Street knows exactly what this means If NVIDIA's own engineers aren't safe from their AI, what the fuck makes you think you are Every line of code you write is training data for your replacement

**ORACLE JUST BURNED $1.6 BILLION ON "RESTRUCTURING" COSTS TO ELIMINATE 30,000 ENGINEERS WHILE SITTING ON $523 BILLION IN FUTURE CONTRACTED REVENUE** Let me walk you through the most psychotic corporate mathematics I've ever seen 30,000 people terminated via automated email at 6AM Pacific $6.13 billion net income this quarter. 95% jump. $523 billion in contracted future revenue already locked in But they spent $1.6 billion just to fire people That's $53,333 per terminated employee in severance and "restructuring costs" I'm hearing the badge deactivations happened before people even read their termination emails Sources saying Oracle's new AI data centers need that exact $1.6 billion and cutting humans was the fastest path to free cash The same week Larry Ellison announced partnerships to hire 15,000 AI specialists in Bangalore and Chennai Word is the entire cloud infrastructure team got eliminated and replaced with automated deployment agents they spent two years training Oracle called it "operational excellence through workforce optimization" Translation: we taught machines to do your job then deleted you to fund the machines Meanwhile Safra Catz and Larry Ellison are splitting $400+ million in executive comp this year If your company just announced an "AI transformation roadmap" start interviewing tonight Because Oracle just proved the playbook: take worker knowledge, feed it to algorithms, eliminate the workers, pocket the difference Every single Fortune 500 CEO just screenshot this earnings report

Tennis players live 9.7 years longer than sedentary people. Not 9.7 months. 9.7 years. Nearly a decade. The Copenhagen City Heart Study tracked 8,577 people for 25 years and ranked every sport by how much life it adds. Badminton: 6.2 years. Soccer: 4.7. Cycling: 3.7. Swimming: 3.4. Jogging: 3.2. Tennis almost triples jogging. A separate study of 80,000 adults found racket sports cut all-cause mortality by 47% and cardiovascular death by 56%. Swimming hit 41%. Aerobics hit 36%. The question is why racket sports destroy everything else. Three mechanisms stack on top of each other. First, the physical demands. A tennis rally requires explosive sprints, lateral cuts, and sustained aerobic output. You're training fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers simultaneously. Most cardio only trains one system. Second, the cognitive load. You're reading spin, predicting angles, adjusting position, and executing motor patterns in real-time. Your brain is solving spatial puzzles at 80+ mph. That hand-eye coordination and strategic processing builds neural connections that protect against cognitive decline. Third, and this is the one researchers keep coming back to: you literally cannot play alone. Every racket sport requires another person on the other side of the net. That forced social interaction triggers neurochemical benefits that solitary exercise cannot replicate. Strong social connection alone increases your chance of longevity by 50%. Jogging is you and your thoughts. Tennis is you, a strategic opponent, and a community. Dr. Daniel Amen is right. The data is overwhelming. If you want the single highest-ROI activity for a longer life, pick up a racket.
