Please remember to wear your seatbelt at all times for safety. 😳😳😳 I wish I could have this kind of calm all the time.

Everyone you love in one photo ❤️ Before its imaging camera was turned off, NASA's Voyager 1 took this iconic photo known as the "Pale Blue Dot" #OTD in 1990. In it, Earth is visible as a miniscule speck in the inky darkness.

📑Some articles/ reports in the media have raised concerns about the potential negative impact of 20% ethanol blending (E20) in petrol, particularly with regard to older vehicles and customer experience. These concerns, however, are largely unfounded and not supported by scientific evidence or expert analysis. ▶️International studies on the effect of using Ethanol-Petrol Blends on Mechanical, Energy and Environmental Performance of Vehicles through testing of carbureted and fuel-injected vehicles every 10,000 km during their first 100,000 km showed statistically no significant differences in power and torque generated and fuel consumption. Material compatibility and drivability tests by Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Indian Institute of Petroleum (IIP) and Indian Oil Corporation (R&D) have confirmed that legacy vehicles also showed no significant variations, performance issues or abnormal wear-and-tear when operated with E20. Moreover, E20 fuel passed hot and cold startability tests without any engine damage. ▶️Multiple concerns have been addressed as below: 🔹Fuel efficiency:- Ethanol, being lower in energy density than petrol, results in a marginal decrease in mileage, estimated at 1–2% for four-wheelers designed for #E10 and calibrated for #E20, and around 3–6% in others. This marginal drop in efficiency can be further minimized through improved engine tuning and use of E20-compatible materials, which leading automobile manufacturers have already adopted. In fact, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) has confirmed that E20-compliant vehicles with upgraded components began rolling out from April 2023. Thus, the allegation that E20 leads to drastic drop in fuel efficiency is factually incorrect. 🔹Material corrosion:- Safety standards for E20, including corrosion inhibitors and compatible fuel system materials, are well established through BIS specifications and Automotive Industry Standards. Replacement of some rubber parts/ gaskets could be advised in certain older vehicles after prolonged use of say 20,000 to 30,000 kms. This replacement is inexpensive and easily done during regular servicing of the vehicle 🔹Environmental concerns:- Ethanol replaces petrol, a fossil fuel and reduces CO2 emissions. India’s ethanol blending programme is through feedstock diversification. Ethanol is increasingly being produced from not only sugarcane but also from surplus rice, maize, damaged foodgrains, and agricultural residues, especially under the push for second-generation (2G) biofuels. This makes ethanol blending not only technically viable, but environmentally sustainable as well. A study on life cycle emissions of ethanol done by Niti Aayog has assessed that GHG emissions in case of sugarcane and maize based ethanol use is less by 65% and 50%, respectively, than that of petrol. 🔹Benefits: 🔸Ride quality and vehicle performance: Ethanol has a higher octane number than Petrol (~108.5 vs. 84.4) which implies that ethanol-petrol blends have a higher octane number than traditional petrol. Therefore, the use of ethanol becomes a partial alternative for providing high-octane fuels (~95), required for modern high compression ratio engines providing a better ride quality. Vehicles tuned for E20 (having increased RON) deliver even higher performance. Ethanol is also characterized by having a higher heat of vaporization than petrol. This aspect makes the temperature of the intake manifold lower, which increases air-fuel mixture density, therefore increasing the engine’s volumetric efficiency. 🔸E20 blending significantly strengthens India’s energy security by reducing dependence on crude oil imports. In fact, since 2014-15 India has already saved more than Rs. 1.40 lakh crore in foreign exchange through petrol substitution. Ethanol blending supports the rural economy, with expeditious payment of over Rs. 1.20 lakh crore to farmers, thereby creating income and employment opportunities in the agricultural and biofuel sectors. #E20 blending has helped India reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 700 lakh tonnes, contributing to climate change goals. ▶️The claim that this transition is abrupt or poorly communicated does not align with the detailed rollout plans outlined in the Government of India’s Roadmap for Ethanol Blending in India 2020–25, available on the websites of #MoPNG and @NitiAayog since 2021. The implementation of E20 in India has followed a phased and widely consulted approach, involving coordination between ministries, vehicle manufacturers, fuel retailers, standards agencies etc. ▶️Thus, the narrative that #EthanolBlending in Petrol is harming vehicles or causing undue hardship to consumers is not based on real facts and lacks technical foundation. Ethanol blending is a forward-looking, scientifically supported, and environmentally responsible measure that brings multi-dimensional benefits to the nation. @PMOIndia @HardeepSPuri @IndianOilcl @BPCLimited @HPCL @DDNewslive @PIB_India

Straight from Reddit! Here are some major concerns of D2C brands: 💬 “We had a 2.5 ROAS but still lost ₹20,000.” 💬 “45% of our orders were returned—most of them were COD.” 💬 “4,000 sessions. 15 orders. What are we doing wrong?” If you’ve had the same questions, you’re not alone. These are the realities most D2C founders face but rarely talk about. 80% of D2C brands quietly shut down within 2 years, not because the founders weren’t smart or hardworking, but because the playbook was old. This week, Kezia Rithi, our one-month intern (yes, you read that right, a budding marketer with fresh eyes and a lot of curiosity) took a deep dive into the hard truths behind those stats. From chasing vanity ROAS to relying heavily on COD, this blog unpacks the common traps and offers actionable ways to sidestep them. Check it out now! blog.zepic.com/article/the-d…

Looks like this plot twist was more unexpected than the movie’s, @_PVRCinemas 📷 Time to give ZEPIC a try? We love helping brands personalize (and avoid mix-ups like this over WhatsApp😁)

This is diesel. Buggers have given it Green color next to petrol. I took it as premium petrol. Reason I had a conked off engine a month back. Went to the same petrol pump to figure what I missed. While not the pump guy mistake because I asked him to put extra green but the green played it's role.
