There's a new parliamentary committee report on 'Reforms and Strengthening of the National Testing Agency'. This is the key paragraph.
1. Surprised me that NTA is conducting recruitment exams for EPFO, High Courts, etc. when it can't do the job it was supposed to do.
2. 1 might be happening because NTA is a society that must raise its revenue by conducting exams.
3. Just look at the state capacity gap.
Approvals is not a proof of sanity. This project is stupid. And should not go through. Will not go through in all eventuality.
Puri International Airport’s environmental clearances along with construction plans have been published in local newspapers.
- 3,700-metre runway for wide-body aircraft
- The airport is proposed to handle aircraft types including ATR-72, Q400, A320, A321, A350 and B777-300ER.
- Link taxiways and parallel end-to-end taxiways are planned.
- CAT II Instrument Landing System (ILS), approach lighting and visual aids are proposed.
- Phase 1 passenger capacity: 4.6 million passengers per annum (MPPA).
These are just Phase 1 plans. The airport is planned to be developed in multiple phases.
A major step forward for Puri’s connectivity and tourism!

Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.
Trump & Hegseth aren't just proposing to livestream an execution for people who want to watch.
They're proposing to broadcast a man being shot to death, even if deserved by our system, and even if you agree with this version of the death penalty, knowing that the footage will be clipped, shared, and pushed into social media feeds.
Including those of our children. The gruesome image will be everywhere.
Parents will have virtually no control over whether their kids see it. Once those images are released, there is no taking them back.
Hope all the parents in the Trump Admin are cool with that.

Very important work on cancer caregivers - the burden of care givers of patients with cancer. Sad to see the large impact on employment, and career of these good folks. How can we help thm regain their lost hours?

Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize. She founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees.
Today we announce the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

Good policy intervention - IMHO - but hope the drug quality/active drug quantity doesn't follow the Parle-G phenomenon
(cost stable over years - but quantity of biscuits in 100 gram pack dropped).

More bad news for NR/NMN supplements
In a randomized clinical trial of 410 participants with early Parkinson disease, NR did NOT improve clinical outcomes and was associated with WORSE clinical outcomes than placebo
Dil behlane ko Ghalib, ye khayal bhi acha hai..
