An inspirational career!

Her mother was an economics teacher. She grew up in New Delhi and graduated in History from St. Stephen's College, Delhi University.
She wanted to be an IAS officer. After graduation she joined a UPSC coaching centre in Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi.
In 2012 she cleared the Civil Services Examination on her first attempt. All India Rank 188. She was 22 years old. She became the youngest woman IPS officer from Kerala.
She later said she was not fully satisfied with her interview performance. She had cleared it anyway.
In 2019 a child rape accused named Sunil Kumar Bhadran fled to Saudi Arabia to evade arrest. He had allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl in Kerala in 2017.
Merin Joseph flew to Saudi Arabia personally, coordinated with local authorities and brought him back to India to face trial.
She said this: "Cases related to women and children are very close to my heart. I take special interest in solving them."
She has served as Deputy Commissioner of Police and Commissioner of Police in Kerala. She is currently posted as Superintendent of Police in the Crime Branch of Kerala Police.
She cleared UPSC at 22, became the youngest woman IPS officer from Kerala and flew to Saudi Arabia to bring back a child rape accused. All before she turned 30.

Entirely agree with @svembu
Once again, my appeal to Indians in America on a visa. Please come home. Even if you feel it is hardship and sacrifice, self-respect should dictate your course. Let's make Bharat proud 🙏

कितना सही कहा है!
टाटा समूह में 7,50,000 कर्मचारी हैं।
एल एंड टी में 3,38,000 लोग कार्यरत हैं।
इंफोसिस में 2,60,000 कर्मचारी हैं।
महिंद्रा एंड महिंद्रा के 2,60,000 कर्मचारी हैं।
रिलायंस इंडस्ट्रीज के 2,36,000 लोग हैं।
विप्रो में 2,10,000 कर्मचारी हैं।
एचसीएल में 1,67,000 कर्मचारी हैं।
एचडीएफसी बैंक में 1,20,000 कर्मचारी हैं।
आईसीआईसीआई बैंक में 97,000 कर्मचारी हैं।
टीवीएस समूह में 60,000 कर्मचारी हैं।
मात्र ये दस कंपनियां मिलकर लगभग 25 लाख भारतीयों को रोजगार देती हैं - सम्मानजनक वेतन के साथ।
ये केवल वो आँकड़े हैं जो इनके डायरेक्ट पेरोल पर हैं। इनके अलावा ऑफ रोल्स, ऐसोशिएट्स, डीलर्स, एजेंट्स, इनके प्रोडक्ट्स से जुड़े सहायक प्रोडक्ट्स की कंपनियां। इनके सहारे जन्मी पैकेजिंग कंपनियां, ट्रांसपोर्ट सेक्टर। लिस्ट बहुत लंबी है।
किसी कंपनी के अगर डायरेक्ट 1 लाख कर्मचारी हैं तो मान के चलिए कि कम से कम चार लाख ऐसे हैं जिनका चूल्हा उसी कम्पनी के कारण चलता है।
और मैं मात्र 10 बड़ी कंपनियों की बात कर रहा हूँ। हजारों ऐसी प्राइवेट कंपनियां हैं देश में जो रोजगार पैदा कर रही हैं।
ये 25 लाख कॉर्पोरेट नौकरियां भारत में पिछले 70 वर्षों में सृजित कुल केंद्र सरकार की नौकरियों (48.34 लाख) के आधे से अधिक हैं।
यह पिछले 70 वर्षों में कर्नाटक जैसे बड़े राज्य में सृजित कुल सरकारी नौकरियों का भी 5 गुना है!
निजी क्षेत्र का सम्मान करें, उन्हें गालियों से मत नवाजें। अपने राजनैतिक एजेंडे और पसंद नापसंद के कारण उन लोगों का मजाक ना उड़ायें जो देश के विकास में बहुत बड़े सहभागी हैं।
नौकरी देने वालों के लिए जयकार जयकार भले ना करें लेकिन उन्हें इज़्ज़त देना तो सीखिए।
वे लाखों भारतीयों के लिए आजीविका पैदा कर रहे हैं।
भारत में 3 पीढ़ियों की आर्थिक क्षमता को बर्बाद करने वाले असफल समाजवादी राजनेताओं की बात न सुनें। यदि आप आने वाली पीढ़ियों के लिए उज्ज्वल भविष्य चाहते हैं, तो भारत को ऐसे हजारों नए निगमों की आवश्यकता है जो उच्च वेतन वाली नौकरियों का सृजन करते हैं।
अपने दो कौ ड़ी के राजनैतिक एजेंडे के चलते अपनी आने वाली पीढ़ियों का भविष्य बर्बाद ना करें। खुद कभी आईना जरूर देखें कि क्या आपकी राजनैतिक नफ़रतें आपकी पीढ़ियों के भविष्य से ज्यादा जरूरी है।

Her name is Anu Kumari.
She was born in 1984 in Sonipat, Haryana. She completed her engineering degree and then her MBA.
She got married, moved to a new city and became a full time homemaker raising her young son.
She was not unhappy. But she felt unfinished.
In 2013 she attempted the UPSC Civil Services Examination for the first time. She did not clear it.
She was 29 years old with a child, no coaching institute and no institutional support.
Most people around her said she had already missed her window.
She attempted again in 2016.
She cleared it. All India Rank 2. The second highest rank in the country that year.
She had prepared almost entirely at home, studying after her son went to sleep, waking before he did.
She used free online resources. She had no study group. Her husband supported her fully throughout.
When journalists asked her what had pushed her to try again after failing, she said this.
“I wanted my son to see that you do not stop because you failed once. You stop when you decide to stop. I had not decided to stop.”
She is currently posted as an IAS officer in Haryana.
Most people who cleared UPSC Rank 2 that year were straight out of coaching academies.
She was a 32 year old homemaker who studied after her child went to sleep.

Worst experience with Zomato & Domino, ordered Pizza. didn’t arrive for over an hour. Then ordered also in Nirulas. No trace for 45 mts. In end, when lost all hunger, arrived with Deepak Pandey, said was searching. For complaint gave 8377076975. Still no reply constantly. Refund?
I ordered Pizza on Zomato, from Dominos, did not arrive for over an hour, then ordered on Nirulas, did not arrive for 45 minutes! It’s pathetic! Lost all hunger! Called Dominos they don’t pick up. What should I do?

Late Shri Manohar Parrikar Ji once narrated his ordeal.
"I'm from Parra, a village in Goa, so we're called 'Parrikars.' My village is famous for its watermelons. When I was a child, the farmers there held a 'Watermelon Eating Contest' in May, after the harvest. All the children were invited and asked to eat as many watermelons as they wanted.
Many years later, I went to IIT Mumbai to study engineering. Then I returned to my village after 6.5 years. I went to the market to look for watermelons. But they were gone. The ones I found were very small.
I went to meet the farmer who used to hold the 'Watermelon Eating Contest.' Now his son had taken his place. He still held the contest, but there was a difference. When the old farmer offered us watermelons to eat, he would ask us to spit the seeds into a bowl. We were forbidden to chew the seeds. He was collecting seeds for the next crop.
We were, in effect, unpaid child laborers.
He would keep his best watermelons for the competition, using them as the best. He obtained good seeds, which produced even bigger watermelons the next year. When his son arrived, he thought the larger ones would fetch a higher price in the market, so he started selling the larger ones and keeping the smaller ones for competition. The next year, the watermelons grew smaller, and the next even smaller. A watermelon generation lasts one year.
In seven years, Parra's best watermelons were wiped out. In humans, a generation changes every 25 years. In 200 years, we will realize the mistakes we were making in educating our children.
Selecting good seeds, that is, talent, is a huge task in itself. Due to irrelevant ideas and useless things, our good watermelons will go to market, leaving us with useless, inferior seeds.
We must think about this in today's context.

I haven’t yet seen, but reviews show pure genius, raised the bar very high! Ranveer, Aditya and team have been brilliant!
Audience, including nextGen, who are generally impatient for a 4 hour film, are spell bound!
Kudos! @RanveerOfficial
Just saw Dhurandhar 2.
Rarely comes a film that has technical finesse, fabulous storytelling, virtuoso acting, and a soul that connects with the mood of the times. What. A. Movie!
I am a fan! @AdityaDharFilms , @RanveerOfficial , @ActorMadhavan , @duttsanjay , @therakeshbedi

Patients vehicles need to be prioritised, need to be given stickers on vehicles, lot of unauthorised vehicles; entry to the porch is also very difficult!
@DhanendraKumar4
Max Hospital Saket in New Delhi is one of the busiest hospitals, thousands of patients and visitors, but access on road and entry to hospital is most congested! Mainly due to shops, vendors & vehicles parked on both sides of the road! Need to be cleaned for patients!

Traffic police in coordination with hospital management needs to look into urgently!

Max Hospital Saket is one of the most popular hospitals in New Delhi, but approach is very congested with heavy traffic, takes very long, difficult for patients. Should be opened up and streamlined!
