Congratulations to DRDO. Hope all parameters are met.

Got vaccinated today in Fortis Gurgaon. It is like playing "fastest fingers first" on Cowin portal. However, the experience of vaccination itself is very straightforward and simplified. Took only 30 mins followed by 30 mins mandatory waiting time. People are observing social distance and t...

Kang is a moron. Yes, using whole inactivated virus is EXACTLY why Covaxin will continue to work against mutant strains. Again. The way vaccines work is by training the immune system to recognize specific structures, or "epitopes", on the virus and then target these epitopes as the sites ...

My parents got first shot on March 20 in Amritsar. Father did not experience anything but mother immediately went thru very high fever (102-103) for 3 days. Today they got second shot in Gurgaon at a private hospital (Max Hospital) at 250 rupees per head. It was a smooth process. First they register...

Clearly shows that unkil is friendly only till mutual interest aligns. There is no change in how deep state of US really feels about India. Seems like a soft warning of sorts to rememind us our place while there is continuous peaceful rise under watchful eyes of big brother amreeka

Russia will continue to sing conciliatory tones to Pak as India moves more and more into US camp by buying US weapons. All is quid pro quo. However, bear is wise enough not to sell anything of substantial military importance to Pakistan. Just enough to poke us a bit as a reminder to stay along or el...

My parents received vaccination at a local government hospital in Amritsar. No pre-registration needed, they just walked in and were freed in 30 mins. Asked to wait for 10-20 mins post vaccination but they decided to wait for 30 mins instead. A long queue followed immediately and there is a healthy ...

Great interviews Prasadji. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

OT Alert!! A few years (6-7) back someone here posted a YouTube video of Indian Army exercises in desert (compilation of various exercise videos) with an amazing music in background. I downloaded and kept it for many years. Wanted to show it to my son who just turned 8, however, I could not find it...

Chinese buildup in Pangong Tso poses fresh challenge Looks like either many were sleeping on the job or deliberately let it slide. How else can you explain India not stepping up pressure when the initial movements were done by Chinese to start building permanent structures?? Chinese start protestin...

This burying one's head in the sand and hoping the bully will go away approach is not going to solve the issue. This scenario plays out at least once every year, honestly unable to understand why we are always caught on the back foot. I am sure the govt & the armed forces have extensively war g...

Please spread the word through your social media handles. This is the least we can do for Tejas!

Can we request Harsh sir to join BRF? It is best not to Saar. He is already putting his neck on the line by being on twitter. If he lands up here, it could cause some Babu to raise a stink. Why sink his career? Let him stay there onlee. If he comes on his own accord, that is a different story. Many...

I work with a MNC and frequently travel across India. In Feb-March, I frequented to Mumbai and Jaipur regularly. Sometimes in middle of Feb, I got severe dry cough and acute pain in throat that lasted about 3 weeks. I got slight fever and took paracetamol. Ultimately, homeopathy medicine, ayurvedic ...

The size and capabilities of Tejas was defined by the available power plant. No other reason like MiG-21 sized hangers/HAS etc. Period. Today a more capable engine (GE F-414) is available and we're designing larger and more capable MWF/Mk2, TEDBF and AMCA around it. But in 80's, designing a "l...

Reporting the same from BLR. Apart from mine, I could see the neighbouring society wallahs also join enthusiastically. For a full 10 minutes, one could not hear anything (no, it was that loud, but it was not quiet either). Generally positive reception from folks all over. People were blowing conchs...

Thanks for the details Chetak Saar...it is quite a change. The future definitely belongs to indigenous fighter aircraft.

My mind is super relaxed & dancing in joy at this K-4 test. Shade more than Pokharan-2 :D :) Sir, many moons ago in your previous avatar, you always maintained that unless the maal is not retested, it will always be FBF boosted device than pure thermo... Now, you being at peace of mind, does it...

As one reads more about 1965, one thing becomes clear: - the decision to attack into Pakistan in the Lahore sector (even before the Sialkot Sector on 8th September), had a much wide ranging implication than simply taking the pressure off the Chhamb sector. As I said earlier, 1965 was much bigger th...

Thanks for update, Indranil. Strangely, nothing much in press coverage other than occasional reporting on developmental crashes.
