the resistance unsuspended

I had written a few days ago; in my earlier avatar, that there is a difference between the @RahulGandhi who raked up Rafael & the RG of the Voter Adhikar Yatra. I do believe that there was enough in that plane deal to go after the govt, however RG was badly let down by 1/8

PM Modi also personally supervised the NEET paper leak.

Read this story. Carefully. CBSE called for OSM tenders thrice. Zero bids the first time. No qualified bidder the second time. And finally, the technical bar was lowered until COEMPT could clear it. Scanning resolution cut. Robotic scanner requirement dropped. CMMI certification lowered from Level 5 to Level 3. Penalties for errors in answer sheets removed. TCS, India’s biggest IT services company, qualified in the third round too. TCS lost. COEMPT - a company with a spectacular track record of failure - won. And what are CBSE students complaining about today? Badly scanned answer sheets. Missing pages. A broken evaluation portal. Teachers had warned CBSE that the OSM system needed at least a year or two for further preparation before nationwide implementation, yet it was rushed through. So I ask again - who wanted COEMPT to win? Who lowered the bar, step by step, until this company could clear it? Pradhan ji and CBSE say “due process was followed.” That is not an answer, that is not accountability. The question is whether the contract was honestly awarded to the best company which could do the job correctly. The futures of 18.5 lakh children were handed to a company that could only qualify after the rules were bent for it. To the BJP Ministers attacking me for asking questions - I have, from day one, demanded an independent judicial probe. Expand it from CBSE to every contract awarded to COEMPT. Our youth deserve the truth. And Modi ji, your silence on the CBSE debacle and inaction against the Education Minister tells the country what you actually care about - not the futures of lakhs of students, only the survival of your own government.

A lovely experience at Pousada...

Beautiful article by @manojkjhadu Nehru dreamed of building a modern India. Guru Dutt gave that India a soul through cinema. One shaped the nation’s future, the other captured its emotions. Together, they represent an era where India believed in both progress and art. frontline.thehindu.com/the-nation/gur…

Dharmendra Pradhan ji, you can attack me all you want but it won’t absolve you of your crimes. Nor will it stop me from demanding answers for 18.5 lakh children. Why was the CBSE OSM contract handed to COEMPT - a company already mired in controversy under its old name, Globarena? On whose orders was it done? Why were no background checks done? What is the connection between COEMPT’s management and the Modi government? Either you ran a background check and went ahead anyway - or you didn’t run one at all. Either way, you are complicit. As for responsibility - if the PM cared, he should have sacked you long ago for ruining the futures of lakhs of students.

uuss ka juice...

आज NEET पेपर लीक से आहत होकर आत्महत्या करने वाले होनहार छात्र प्रदीप मेघवाल के परिवार से मिला। उनका दर्द शब्दों में नहीं समा सकता। एक माँ-बाप ने अपना बेटा खोया है और उनका कोई कसूर नहीं था। देश के लाखों बच्चे पढ़ाई, प्रतियोगिता और भविष्य के दबाव में जी रहे हैं। और जब पेपर लीक होता है, तो सिर्फ़ एक परीक्षा नहीं टूटती - एक बच्चे का सपना, और एक पूरा परिवार टूट जाता है। प्रदीप की मौत आत्महत्या नहीं - एक टूटी हुई, भ्रष्ट व्यवस्था की देन है। जिन्होंने परीक्षा प्रणाली को माफ़ियाओं के हवाले कर दिया, और आज भी अपनी कुर्सी से चिपके हैं - मोदी-प्रधान की जोड़ी इस परिवार के सामने जवाबदेह है।

CBSE परीक्षा परिणाम में भयंकर हेर-फेर हो गई जिससे देश के लाखों बच्चे और उनके माता-पिता सदमे में हैं। और मोदी जी? हमेशा की तरह - न जवाब, न ज़िम्मेदारी, न शर्म। जिस कंपनी COEMPT को यह ज़िम्मेदारी मिली, वह पहले Globarena के नाम से तेलंगाना में 2019 में यही कारनामे कर चुकी है। नाम बदला - पर नीयत वही, फितरत वही। इतिहास सबको पता था, फिर भी ठेका दिया गया। ऐसी कंपनी के हाथ में 18.5 लाख बच्चों का भविष्य सौंप दिया गया और किसी को फ़र्क़ नहीं पड़ा। यह गलती नहीं - यह सोचा-समझा षड़यंत्र है। कुछ ज़रूरी सवाल हैं: - COEMPT को CBSE का ठेका क्यों और किसके कहने पर दिया गया? - कौन-कौन से नियम और प्रक्रिया दरकिनार करके इस कंपनी को ये ठेका दिया गया? - COEMPT पहले Globarena के नाम से विवादों में घिर चुकी है, ये CBSE को क्यों नहीं पता चला? Background checks क्यों नहीं किए गए? - COEMPT प्रबंधन और मोदी सरकार के बीच आखिर क्या संबंध हैं? हम मांग करते हैं कि इस पूरे घोटाले के असली दोषियों को सामने लाने के लिए स्वतंत्र न्यायिक जांच और SIT का गठन तत्काल किया जाए। CBSE के Gen Z साथियों - आपकी मेहनत, आपका भविष्य, कोई चुरा नहीं पाएगा। हम इस साजिश की तह तक जाएंगे, और इस भ्रष्टाचार को जड़ से उखाड़ फेंकेंगे।

A denial is not an answer. Why are the Education Minister and CBSE unable to answer the four simple questions I have asked? The future of 18.5 lakh students have been put in jeopardy. They deserve the truth.

Indian middle class should now demand their salaries should be paid in petrol. This way they will get a hike every 3 months.

living is always enhanced by nature. It goes on with quiet efficiency, transitioning into different seasons. I wait for the podder's horn. Other than bread, will catch up with the village gossip. And he may just tell me what day it is. 5/5

then falling onto our courtyard. And the indentations it made in the soil. Goa was where we experienced Petrichor in its full glory. Then just life that it was time to head back to Mumbai. The first few days were very difficult. Then life took over. The mundane business of 4/5

The common thread for all our trips to Goa has always been "the suspension of time". Two days in Goa is enough for one to forget which day of the week it is. It's been drizzling a bit, nature's test runs before the onslaught. The second half of always meant getting ready 1/5
