माननीय CJI ने जब कॉकरोच वाला कमेंट किया तो लाखों युवा नाराज हो गए। लेकिन उसके बाद उन्होंने सफाई दी है कि वो तो फर्जी डिग्री वालों को कॉकरोच बोल रहे थे। अब एक बूढ़ा उनसे नाराज हो गया।

In my opinion piece I write "India’s whole could end up being less than the sum of its parts”. Farmers in Mandi Sadiq Gunj in Pakistan’s Punjab province are paying 5.8 times more for Urea & 1.5 times more for diesel than my son who farms just a few kilometres away in Maujgarh—a village on the Indian side of Punjab. It’s time to redraw the whole agricultural canvas from scratch. To prioritizing environment & livelihoods and not production & price. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

This is equivalent to trying to sell a cop drugs while he’s in uniform in his police car.

In case you're wondering why I haven't published my latest video... you can thank @DistroKid for STILL not white-listing my channel from MY OWN MUSIC despite asking them to fix it for MONTHS. After 6 months of work, I'm sorry, but I need the ad revenue to make a living.

Guys, stop it please. "It's not idli, it's dosa. It's not cricket, it's hockey. The first is A. The second is B. The third is C. It's not letters. It's the alphabet." The more you write and sound like this, the more you think like this. AI wins, you lose. Stop AI slop.

The Astronaut Class of 1998 - the "anointing" of a call sign.  It's very common for astronauts to have a call sign. Those with military backgrounds typically enter the astronaut corps with one but as a civilian astronaut, it was something I didn't have..., yet!  The "gist" of most call signs is that they are given based on a "significant" situation that relates directly to you.  Oftentimes, it's a mistake you've made or something embarrassing you've done. You can also have multiple call signs based on your mission.  Let me give you an example of one related to me. My STS-131 call sign stemmed from a session in the Shuttle Mission Simulator (SMS).  As one of the flight deck occupants for the Space Shuttle Discovery's planned entry, I was required to sit in the Mission Specialist 1 (MS1) position, back right on the flight deck.  A four-hour sim meant that I was essentially "locked" into my seat --a small aluminum chair with minimal padding-- for the entire session. You can imagine how uncomfortable that was. Completing one of our 4- hour stints, the training team was poised to go over our mistakes (hopefully we didn't make any) and then offer it back to us for our comments or questions.  Of course, Astro Clay spoke up!  4 hours in that damned chair led me to say, "Yes..., would it be possible for me to get a different chair pad - this one was pretty uncomfortable." The next training session in the SMS, upon me entering the simulator, found my seat was stacked with pillows reaching all the way from the top of the seat  to the ceiling of the simulator. Hmmmm..., ha ha, very funny." Our standard debriefing that followed the training session, found me entering the conference room to see a crown and scepter sitting on my chair along with a pink hat adorned on its crown with the word 'Princess' (in script font) on it.  And that was it. Princess became my call sign 😒

Good morning, US Treasury 30-yr yield is now 5.06%. That's globally consequential, especially on the back of JGB yields rising too. Now, if you are an EM that has a current account deficit and need capital account surplus to offset, you should think, what's the right amount of compensation I am offering for higher risks? As in, risk premium on the rise.

@RoflGandhi_ @BJP4India Congress वाले बड़ा कहते थे कि मोदी नेहरू से बराबरी नहीं कर सकता। देखा, कर ली ना बराबरी।

@BJP4India जब सरकार को 75 साल पहले के हालात से तुलना करने पर मजबूर होना पड़े तो देश की मौजूदा हालात का अंदाजा लगाना मुश्किल नहीं है।

Jawaharlal Nehru spent years speaking about food shortages as India’s biggest crisis… and yet, Congress only offered lectures, not solutions. “Skip rice.” “Miss meals.” “Tighten belts.” “Don’t organise feasts.” And when the crisis deepened? Blame businessmen. Blame hoarders. Blame Partition. Blame Korea. Blame “talk in America.” But when did Congress ever blame its own failed policies? While millions faced rationing, scarcity, and hunger, India remained dependent on foreign food aid. Instead of building a self-reliant system, the Congress kept asking citizens to consume less, because it could not provide more.

@suzukisapers This analysis explicitly excludes the 480,000,000 copper needles that were launched for Project West Ford

SpaceX is only ~200 satellites away from having launched as many satellites as the rest of the world combined (despite giving the rest of the world a 61-year head start)

This is Mr. Avinash, who has an Instagram page called TheAvinashWay. He received a legal notice from “Dabur”. Watch this video to know the reason. Do you think he is right?

इस देश में जो होता है, अंततः Congress होता है।

“By means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms—elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest—will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial—but democracy and freedom in a strictly Pickwickian sense. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit.” — Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited

@deepakshenoy Does this remove gold imports while retaining jewellery exports?

If you removed gold, India's current account has been a surplus (not a deficit) for 11 of the last 12 quarters. It's useful to reduce imports, or somehow reuse it internally.
