Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
Ex US ambassador Garshiity openly and proudly talked about subnational engagement while standing on Indian soil. They have been doing it for decades, and funding via USAID, NED etc. The new India since 2014 knows how to pay back in the same coin, won't hesitate to do so, at a time and in a way of it...

Re: Renewable Sources of Energy
Beyond dogood intentions there is an economic reality. If India can crack the economic equation for hydrogen and reduces it's dependency on oil imports, then why not? But the road ahead is steeper than wishful thinking can get over.

If, and that's a big IF, such a seat malfunction happened in this case, it will not be recorded on the DFDR. Perhaps the CVR may have some clues, and may be the cockpit debris but the chances are very very slim given the fireball that occurred after the crash.

90 degree flyover is extremely dangerous and a disgrace since it shows callousness for safety. There is a bridge in Gujarat that collapsed spectacularly causing a dozen lives lost.
For the rest, it's rainy season so bad roads and other infra causes lots of reactions. Justifiedly.
