Diwali used to be my fav festival. Every year I fought to be home in Delhi with my family, wherever I was, whatever I was stuck in.
But last night is something I'll remember every Diwali for the rest of my life.
My grandparents, both around 80ishh, couldn't breathe. We have a 1yr old cousin at home. At 3 AM we were ordering more air purifiers on Blinkit. Didn't work. By 5 AM we were rushing my grandparents to the hospital through the thickest smog I have ever seen.
It felt like an episode of Chernobyl. Except this was us, trying to get our grandparents to a hospital.
And the most pathetic scene, the one that's now etched into my heart forever when I think of Diwali: people wearing masks, bursting crackers at 5 am on the main road, at 3000 AQI.
Think about that. You know the air is poison. You've put on a mask to protect yourself. And you're still lighting crackers. Either you're too stupid to realise what you're doing, or you just don't care. Honestly I don't know which is worse. Everything else in this world has a cure. This level of stupidity doesn't.
People were literally begging their neighbours: pls don't, we have old people at home, we have a baby, we have pets. And all they heard back was "we're just celebrating."
How do I even fight these people? How do I tell these Delhi uncles, whose whole sense of pride is having the longest cracker or the most expensive sky shot, that my grandparents can't breathe? How do I make them care?
I have never felt this ashamed to be a citizen of this country. Last night was one for the books, and not the good kind. This isn't about education. It's about basic civic sense. We're choking our own country and calling it celebration. There’s a reason we’re still a developing country. With this level of civic sense, we deserve to stay one.
@CMODelhi @gupta_rekha @DelhiPolice , when will you feel even a little ashamed? This is the capital of India, and we were scrambling at 5 AM to get our grandparents somewhere they could breathe. Where were you?
But honestly, this time I’m more disgusted by the people. Someone is telling you there’s a baby or an elderly person struggling in the house next door, and you still need to light that next cracker.
When do we learn? Does it have to be your family next?
I used to spend the whole year looking forward to coming home for Diwali. From now on, first fucking thing I’m doing is making sure my family is nowhere near this low-IQ, pathetic, inconsiderate bullshit.
Ask anyone with old parents, a small child or a pet what last night was like.
I can’t put all of it into words. And I know a post won’t change much. But pls, if you’re reading this, remember it next Diwali.
delhi's civic sense and IQ are as low as the AQI is high rn. the city's literally a gas chamber, and nothing screams "i'm rich" like burning lakhs worth of crackers inside it and posting it on your story. truly elite levels of inconsiderate, and the rest of us get to cough for your flex. and kudos to delhi govt for the green crackers, we're really feeling the oxygen now 🙏

I have a word of advice for readers: learn to applaud.
If you like something you have read, make it a point to tell the writer so.
Think of it like clapping for a good performance in a theatre or in a cricket stadium.
It is very important.
It makes the writer realise they did something right.
It encourages them to keep writing.
And it also reminds their editors that they have a very good writer working for them.
So if you like reading,
Learn to applaud.
Because if you do not,
Nobody will write for you.
Because nobody will know what you like.

I'm looking for a role with an IPL side for the 2027 cycle, from the auction through to the end of the season. I'm a dual-degree student at IIT Kharagpur (CGPA 9.3).
For the past two and a half years I've built cricket analytics alongside my coursework, and I've worked with teams in the Abu Dhabi T10 and the Kerala Cricket League. My goal is to help teams apply data to answer tough questions especially in the strategy aspect of the game and give them an edge.
I’ve also built three tools of my own:
• DeepCrease, which evaluates players in the context they actually played in.
• IPL Trade Values, which prices a trade on player value, replacement options and money.
• WagonLens, which predicts where a batter will hit the ball for a given bowler, delivery and match situation.
I would love to talk in detail about my work, share my CV, or speak to you personally.
If you have or know about any IPL/other opportunities or would like to speak with me, please DM me or email me at [email protected].
Even a repost would mean a lot.

No media outlet or politician seems willing to talk about this but we must. This could be one of the most serious environmental and public health issues in Punjab.
This video, sent to me on 2 September 2026, is from the HPCL & HMEL refinery near Kanakwal village, Bathinda which produces petroleum fuels and petrochemicals.
According to local residents, Kanakwal village alone has more than 50 cancer patients, and skin diseases are reportedly affecting many children. Residents even say that at night, the flames and gas emissions are so intense that it feels like daytime.
Thousands of people living nearby believe the refinery is violating pollution norms and that harmful emissions are being released without adequate monitoring or accountability.
Please repost and share this so it reaches the higher authorities. Sometimes public attention is the only way to ensure an issue is properly investigated! Atleast for humanity sake!

On 22nd June 2015, off the coast of Odisha, second officer Manoj Chauhan spotted a small boat through his binoculars, 2.5 km away.
Men on board were waving their shirts.
The captain who saw that signal was a woman, and what happened next made her the first woman in the world to win the highest bravery award the shipping industry gives.
Her name is Radhika Menon.
She is from Kodungallur in Kerala, and she is the first woman ever to captain a ship in the Indian Merchant Navy.
That day she was in command of the oil tanker Sampurna Swarajya, sailing down the east coast of India. A deep depression at sea had brought winds of 60 to 70 knots and waves 25 to 27 feet high. The tanker itself was being thrown around in it.
The boat Chauhan had spotted was called the Durgamma, a small fishing vessel from Andhra Pradesh. Its engine had failed and its anchor was gone. It had drifted for days from Kakinada all the way to Gopalpur, at the mercy of the storm. There were 7 fishermen on board, including a 15 year old boy. Their food had washed away. They were surviving on ice from the cold storage.
They had given up hope of being found.
Menon looked at the boat through her binoculars and made a decision in seconds. She has said her focus was on the boy. She knew that if she did not pick them up, none of them would survive.
A large tanker cannot simply pull alongside a small fishing boat in a storm like that and expect it to be safe. It took 3 attempts, using a pilot ladder lowered down the side of the tanker, with life jackets on standby, before all 7 men were finally brought aboard.
They stayed on her ship for about a week before it reached port and they were reunited with their families.
She has said plainly that an award was the last thing on her mind that day. She considered it her duty.
The International Maritime Organisation disagreed with how ordinary she made it sound. On 21st November 2016, at its headquarters in London, it gave her the Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea.
No woman, in any country, in the history of that award, had ever received it before.
She said afterwards that it was the greatest honour any seafarer could receive, and that it was worth cherishing.
7 men are alive today because a woman looking through a pair of binoculars in a storm did not look away.

₹35,715 crore written off. Less than 28% recovered.
Then there’s a US$600 million settlement linked to the NMC Health collapse.
What do these numbers tell us about accountability in India’s banking system—and why are ordinary depositors held to a very different standard?

389,000 trees. Gone.
Over 2,000 hectares of forests. Cleared.
All to expand coal projects while governments lecture citizens about sustainability.
Every tree lost means dirtier air, hotter cities, disappearing wildlife, drying rivers & stolen futures for our children.

Dhruv Rathee is from Germany, and he is pushing his agenda by giving reach to the news coming from Hong Kong, a Chinese territory.
That's what people told me.
And that is also why I submitted the samples of the famous Fish Curry Masala Brand to the Lab Accredited by NABL, and FSSAI itself.
The test report clearly shows that ethylene oxide is 70 times more than the permissible limit set by the EU and is completely prohibited by FSSAI.
My question to @fssaiindia If I can get the lab test done in four days, why are you asking 20 days for the same. What are you waiting for? Why can't you take swift action? What and Who is stopping you?
For those who don't know, Ethylene Oxide is a group 1 carcinogen, the same as alcohol and cigarettes.

*The Final Sacrifice*
Twenty years ago, a letter from a village in Himachal Pradesh, arrived at the Ministry of Defence. The writer was a school teacher and his request was as follows.
He asked, "If possible, could my wife and I be granted the permission to see the place where our only Army son died a heroic death in the Kargil war, on the day of his first death Anniversary, on 07/07/2000 ? It's okay if you can't, if it is against national security, in which case I will withdraw my application".
The Department Officer who read the letter, said, "It does not matter what the cost of their visit is, I will pay it from my salary, if the department is unwilling to and I will bring the teacher and his wife to the place where their only Son died" and he issued an order.
On the remembrance day of the deceased hero, the elderly couple were brought to the ridge with due respect. When he was taken to the place where his son died, everyone on duty stood erect and saluted. But one soldier, handed him a bunch of flowers, bowed and touched his feet and wiped his eyes and saluted.
The teacher said, “You're a Soldier - Why do you touch my feet ? "
"Well, sir", said the soldier “I'm the only one here who was with your son and the only one here who saw your son’s heroism on the field. The enemies were shooting hundreds of bullets per minute with their H.M.G. Five of us advanced to a distance of thirty feet and we were hiding behind a rock. I said, 'Sir, I am going for the ‘Death Charge’. I am going to take their Bullets and run to their bunker and throw the grenade. After that you all can capture their bunker.' I was about to run towards their bunker but your son said, "Are you crazy? You have a wife and children. I'm still unmarried, I'll go. Do the Death Charge and You Do the Covering" and without hesitating, he snatched the grenade from me and ran into the death charge.
Bullets fell like rain from the enemy's H.M.G. Your son dodged them, reached the enemy bunker, took the pin out of the grenade and threw it right into the bunker, sending thirteen enemies to their death. Their assault was over and the area came under our control. I lifted your son's body, sir. He had forty-two bullets in him. I lifted his head in my hands and with his last breath he said, "Jai Hind!"
I asked the superior to give the permission to bring his coffin to your village but he refused.
Though I never had the privilege of putting these flowers at his feet, I have the privilege of putting them at your, sir.”
The teacher's wife was crying softly into the corner of her pallu but the teacher didn't cry.
The father said, “I bought a shirt for my son to wear when he would come on leave, but he never came home and he never will. So I brought it to put it where he died. Why don't you take it and wear it for him, beta?"
The Kargil hero's name was Captain Vikram Batra.
His father's name is Girdhari Lal Batra.
His mother name is Kamal Kanta.
P. S: These are our real heroes. Please share this to make others aware of their supreme sacrifices.🌹🇮🇳
