If you were to objectively name India's top 10 foreign policy journalists, 8 of them would be women. Keeping them out of a presser means keeping out the best we have. And for other journos to meekly accept the Taliban's dictum is a comment on why Indian journalism is where it is.

All of us are exploring different solutions. Any damage to the fuel plumbing, rubber parts, fuel tank, carburetor and the engine components is super difficult to address.

P8 fed himself for the first time since the injury by controlling a robotic arm, purely by thinking with Telepathy. Mind over matter.
ALS took Nick’s arm mobility. Now, he can control a robotic arm with his Neuralink device to feed himself. “Life with my BCI has been and continues to be so surreal and so rewarding. Can’t wait to see what comes next!”

3rd case of an Ola electric scooter owner setting his own vehicle on fire. This. Is. Unprecedented. Has never happened before! This footage is from Banaskantha, Gujarat, where an angry Ola owner set his electric scooter on fire. I've been reporting on cars and motorcycles

Since @BPCLimited has issued a clarification, I'd to place some facts on record. 1. The picture has nothing to do with the oil marketing companies (OMCs). It's a demand from the fuel station dealers (the people who actually face customers). It's the dealers who are saying that
The entire supply chain of OMC, right from storage tanks at supply locations to dispensation through nozzles in customers' fuel tanks at petrol pumps, are designed and compatible in handling E20 in all weather conditions. The contents in the image are not authentic and not

The E20 petrol saga is back. And here's yet another example of policy-making that seems blind to ground realities. Fuel dealers - especially in India's coastal belts - are urging oil companies to supply non-E20 petrol at least during monsoons. Why? Because E20 petrol is

First rushes of the @Nissan_India C-SUV. And it now has a name. Nope, it's not the Terrano, but it's called Tekton. The Nissan Tekton will be launched by the middle of next year. It is a badge-engineered Duster but with a distinct personality. Think Hyundai Creta-Kia Seltos. I

So these are the new @MahindraRise @MahindraBolero and the Bolero. Prices for the Bolero start from 7.99 lakh, and the Neo starts from 8.49 lakh. Remember the Bolero is 25 years old, and the oldest production car in India, a status that it shares with the Alto. Technically, the

At Mumbai for the new @MahindraRise @MahindraBolero and Bolero Neo. Can you imagine that the Bolero is the only passenger car with a metal bumper? In 2025. It still has a metal front bumper. And a massive antenna that's 1.5 meters long. And that's the new Mahindra Automotive

In my opinion, we're just too overpopulated and too poor (per capita terms) to be able to demand Europe-like work life balance. There's always someone else to do the same job at a much cheaper wage. Poor productivity, in most cases is intentional, and even probably good. It
Europe is basically committing autophagy by committing itself to this bullshit. Work-Life balance is a myth. Especially for a country as poor as India with very low productivity. For atleast another 2 generations these concepts will remain unattainable. A thin layer of services
