The sneak peek blends patriotism, sacrifice, and a young soldier's fire to protect his nation

Image
Soldier never dies they martyrs. Arun Khetarpal was the 21- year-old Second Lieutenant, who made India proud in the 1971 war with his no-backing-out attitude, despite his burning tank. 'No Sir, I will not abandon my tank. My main gun is still working, and I will get these bas***ds," were the final words of the brave Indian soldier that echoed in the ears of the superior officer over the radio. But not just him, his bravery even made an echo across the borders and reached his killer's ears.  Who was Arun Khetarpal? For the unversed, Arun Khetarpal was the eldest of the two sons of Lt. Brigadier M.L. Khetarpal. The love for Army and country ran in their veins as his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather fought for the land and served in the Indian army. It was in June 1967 that Arun joined the National Defence Academy, Khadakwasla. With his hard work, he rose up in the hierarchy and was appointed as the Squadron Cadet Captain of the 38th Course in Foxtrot Sq...

Agriculture needs more automation to make it a lucrative business

The need now is to promote novel and state-of-the-art technologies, such as geospatial programming and artificial intelligence, to optimise farm productivity The scale and nature of farm mechanisation varies widely across the country, depending largely on the type of crops and the kind of agronomic tasks to be undertaken. The decline in the prices of agricultural machinery, thanks to the recent cut in goods and services tax (GST) from 12-18 per cent to 5 per cent, is expected to impart the much-needed impetus to mechanisation in Indian agriculture. Doing field work mechanically, rather than manually, is warranted not merely to lessen dependence on human labour, which is turning scarce due to unabated migration from rural areas, but more so to ensure greater precision in farm operations to boost productivity and profitability. It also mitigates drudgery in farm work, which is driving the rural youth away from farming.   Innovative Automation Technology in the Agricultural Industry V...

Extracting Fluorine from Teflon - Circular Economy way to sustainable future

A simple, eco-friendly method has been developed to recycle one of the world’s most durable plastics into useful chemical components. Developed an energy-efficient method breaks down Teflon (Polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE).  Known primarily for non-stick coatings, Teflon is a material valued for its exceptional chemical and thermal stability. The material’s strong resistance properties are a double-edged sword, making recycling difficult. The new work shows that the Teflon waste can now be broken down using a clean process that requires only sodium metal and mechanical movement.  Interestingly, this simple process occurs at room temperature and avoids using toxic solvents. “Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of Teflon® are produced globally each year – it’s used in everything from lubricants to coatings on cookware, and currently there are very few ways to get rid of it. “As those products come to the end of their lives, they currently end up in landfill – but this process allow...

Day to Remember - Ever loved Hero who shooked up the British Raj - The Legend The Bhagat Singh

It's beyond imagination that 114 days Bhagat Singh and his comrades continued hunger strike just to have proper food, hygiene and human treatment at Jail exactly same as British prisoners recieved. How cruel were the Britishers and worth mentioning is that how brutal were Indians working to Britishers. How couldn't any Indian felt the pain and starve for 114 days. Hunger strike started on 11June and called off by Bhagat Singh on 5th Oct. What not Britishers done to discontinue their strike but not agreeing to their conditions. No water was given, kept milk infront of them to cease their hunger strike. The cuts on body were thrown by salt, this is next level of brutality.  Freedom is not free, we should be obliged to each of our freedom fighters.  At very young age he choose to die over life for mother land when today's generation dreams for getting settled in life and earn money and fame. The level of maturity and commitment Bhagat Singh had, is the must requirement for any...

Earth's "atmospheric rivers" have shifted, causing big weather changes

Image
Right now, above your head, narrow bands of moisture flow through the air. These “atmospheric rivers” can carry more water than the Amazon River. The difference is that they contain water vapor, not liquid water. When these atmospheric rivers reach land and slow down, a key process occurs. The vapor condenses into clouds and can release large amounts of rain or snow. One strong atmospheric river can bury the Sierra Nevada mountain range in several feet of snow. It can rapidly refill depleted reservoirs, but will also cause floods that damage or destroy neighborhoods. Shifting paths of atmospheric rivers Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, report that these atmospheric rivers are no longer traveling along their historical paths. They are shifting toward both poles, a change that was not anticipated. “Atmospheric rivers are shifting poleward in both hemispheres, “bringing heavy rain and storms to higher latitudes, which could reshape precipitation patterns glob...

Seva Beyond the Visible: Through Mind, Words, and Actions

Image
When you hear the word  Seva , what comes to mind? Perhaps offering food to someone in need. Donating time to a noble cause. Helping someone through kindness. These are all beautiful, noble expressions of service — deeply valued and essential in our world. But what if  Seva  is far more than what we usually imagine? What if, beyond these visible acts, there exists a subtle kind of service — one that does not flow from the hands, but from the very being? At the heart of spiritual wisdom is a timeless truth: you are a soul  — a being of light, of peace, of purity.  Not the body you wear, but the silent, living energy behind the eyes. And when you, the soul become full — with love, power, silence — you begin to serve effortlessly.  Not always through action, but through your very presence. This is the deeper dimension of  Seva  – A form of service that begins  not with  effort ,  but with  alignment   — alignment with peace, ...

How authentic is to say - Self Reliant is only cure for numerous sorrows

Trump has not abandoned any unturn folds that can crush USA India relations. In a development that could more adversely affect Indian professionals in the U.S., President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation to raise the fee for H-1B visas to a staggering $1,00,000 annually, a move described by American lawmakers and community leaders as “reckless” and “unfortunate”. The proclamation ‘Restriction on entry of certain non-immigrant workers’, counted as an abuse of the H-1B visa programme is a “national security threat”. Recent tarriffs and closeness to Pakistan are already decaying India USA relations. While our bureaucrats and government is looking for an opportunity in all these adversities. We all know how much Indians love foreign purchases, being extravagant and trusting other countries brand over indigenous brands.
