Andhra Pradesh's Vizag-Bapatla belt has to now brace for Cyclone Arnab's impact... it is likely to intensify into a severe/very severe cyclonic storm in next 36hrs or so...No impact on Tamil Nadu
14 lives lost in rain, rain-related incidents in Tamil Nadu so far..
Cyclone Arnab: Tamil Nadu braces for more monsoon rain
IMD warns of winds up to 140 kmph
Flood risks rise as cyclone approaches
@sdhrthmp shares more details with @BislaDiksha
ISRO GSLV-F18/NVS-03 Launch is all set for Friday, Oct 30th late night... Cyclonic storm Arnab(likely to intensify into severe/very severe) is expected to move several 100kms north of Sriharikota(Vizag-Bapatla)..Therefore, no issues foreseen..
(Let us wait to hear from ISRO)
The worst part about Chennai metro is the pathetic condition of roads along the corridors where work is going on...
New roads were hurriedly laid along Mt Poonamallee High Road, near Kathipara for PM visit Oct 11th..barely 2 weeks and many craters and potholes.
Corruption ?
@cmrlofficial phase 2 is running between 12-18 months behind schedule. Think of the inconvenience to people living in those areas, the access problems, the awful roads and the additional distance they need to cover just to get home. Most of all, think of the businesses in these areas devastated by the prolonged work. So many shops have shut down. Go to Luz corner and see for yourself.
No one is accountable for the delays. This is how things go in India etc...
All this for a project that is currently carrying not even one third of the originally projected traffic for the Phase completed and has consumed a huge amount of money. #ChennaiMetro
Would love to see how many Indian politicians can speak like this (at least) about the foreign oligarch Elon Musk...
I recall that Kamal Haasan had slammed Musk, something that I couldn't see even BJP or Congress do strongly, despite their IT wings and troll armies..
The kind of response that Govts everywhere should give to Trillionaire Psycho Elon Musk... (for whatever reasons, very few have the guts to do so)
Sooner Musk is sent away to Mars on a one-way ticket, better for humanity!
Elon Musk is threatening democrats who want to investigate him…saying he’ll find out who’s pulling the strings.
Listen here, you little fake face bitch. I’m running for Congress…and your threats don’t scare me.
Nobody owns me…you want to talk about puppets and strings? Look in the fucking mirror.
You’re the one with strings attached, Elon…and your fucking strings are showing.
With that shit you just pulled in Ukraine…those strings are attached directly to Putin.
We’re sick of your little pedophile wannabe ass… yes you’re going to fucking prison… And if I had it my way, it would be even worse than that…maybe we’ll even send your ass to Mars…I heard it’s cold as hell there
You are a stain on humanity
Vote Mark Davis for Congress
N. Chandrababu Naidu...
At 76, gent casually elaborated that Andhra will operationalise (IBM's) Quantum computer (India's 1st commercial grade) in Feb 2027, AP will make Quantum comps in a few yrs, his vision for capital city Amaravati, much more.. No script, no teleprompter!
In Mumbai to host a special on-stage conversation about the 🇮🇳 Space programme and the road ahead...
Tomorrow if the American Military hardware used by India fails or gets turned off, will the Indian establishment get the same reply ??
That defence supplier India bought from is a private company, the US President has no say on how or when it works or shouldn't work...
"Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas...
He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas..."
Let's see what happens in November... Whether MAGA Megalomania wins or...
The biggest worry worldwide seems to be a Psycho Trillionaire, his politics, his actions...
Ashok, Pls see if you have a solution to that problem...
At a time when only the US(SpaceX, Blue Origin), and Chinese entities have mastered re-usable spacefaring rockets, few Indian startups are announcing their re-usable rocket plans.. Well, even the Indian Govt space agency ISRO doesn't have reusable rockets..
Time will tell!
Indian firm Ethereal Exploration Guild has setup a semicryo rocket engine testing facility at a 150acre site 40kms from ISRO spaceport Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh
They plan to a make a fully reusable 2-stage 🚀
Upper stage engine test firing Nov 2026

Meet the most truthful, sincere, peace-loving Billionaire-turned-Trillionaire....
For 4+yrs, his Tech and politics have had no impact on the Russia-Ukraine war... Musk is such a sweet, cute gentleman!
EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal.
The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.

Elon Musk (who owns Starlink, X, among others) and Starlink itself have officially commented/replied to the statement by Reliance... It appears, this is far from over... Probably, just the start!
We have worked closely with regulators, industry and operators in India for 5+ years, and built a network of dedicated systems, gateways, and other infrastructure all in-country to exclusively serve Indian traffic safely and securely - and all with the requisite government approvals.
Starlink is ready to connect India with high-speed internet.
Would be great to know the details regarding the Reliance Internet-beaming satellite constellation:
Who is designing & building 1600 satellites ?
Who is launching it ?
Satellite mass ?
By when it'll be operational ?
Is it only for Govt ?
What about civilian use ?
Statement from Reliance Industries
In light of recent remarks about Reliance and the Indian market, we wish to place the facts on record.
Like every Indian enterprise, Reliance has grown in an India that welcomes investment and innovation, homegrown or international, that improve the lives of the people.
That openness rests on the rule of law. As the Government of India has stated, it applies the same process to every applicant, Indian or foreign. Jio's own satellite services await clearances.
At Reliance, we have never feared competition. We see it as the truest test of who serves the customer best. Jio itself entered India's crowded telecom market in 2016 as the newest player, with not a single customer. In just ten years, Jio has earned the trust of over 530 million customers and given Indians some of the best digital infrastructure and most affordable data in the world.
We welcome competition in satellite communications, including Starlink. Every player, Jio included, must serve the people of India and abide by the laws and policies of the land.
Reliance responds, almost a week after the world's richest man publicly referred to Mukesh Ambani as "Dear Prime Minister"...
About Reliance's internet-beaming satellite fleet awaiting approval, I'd love to know how many sats are built/ready for launch/in orbit already!
