What is special about 70? I do hope he stays at least till 2029...and hopefully by gods grace he will be in shape (both physically & mentally) for the job till 2029. Give the man a well earned 'vanaprastha' folks!! That is our dharma. To paraphrase 'Senior General Ananthapadmanabhan' from 'Dhar...

A Sharma wrote:Talked to Journalist friend in India. The chakka Jam was a failure and the impact was only in certain areas of Punjab, Haryana and NCR

Even in the commie KL, absolutely NO response. I was on the NH544, expecting to at least a few flag bearing party cadres basking in sun. Nothing! Nada!!

OK. Now I can celebrate!!

Saurabh, What is the process? Do you have to submit a vendor qualification plan? Provide prototype for evaluation? Are you on an approved supplier list? Please let us know the process you had to follow? This is all very new to our folks here. Link to TDF site: https://tdf.drdo.gov.in/ The brochure ...

Apologies if posted earlier, but according to some on SM, the Indian flag on red fort has not been removed. The khalistani flag was flown on an empty pole on red fort. That is correct. There is an empty flag staff, on which the PM unfurls the tricolor on 15th Aug. On regular instances, the flag wil...

Observe carefully that the Burlington Northern video states that air brakes are applied as all or nothing (that is air brakes when applied apply fully or not at all, not like a car when you can apply partially) and so not very good for slowing down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4n3W1GN1pA Thanks...

No. The suggestion for suspension of farm laws till the implementation of laws can be worked out comes from Dr. Ashok Gulati - one of the remaining three members of the Supreme court appointed committee.

One more thing is Tejas has any LRUs which can be swapped as plug and play. This also cuts the repair downtime something got being thought about! A lot of them are already that. The only problem (with MK1, mostly resolved in MK1A) is the accessibility to do the Unplug/Plug. MK1A will be nice to mai...

Can't we file a massive bunch of petitions supporting the bills, now that the Hon Court said there is none?

Several LRUs development for the MK2 is still in tender stage. Even with the impossible time line of 18 months to qualification of those LRUs, how can there be a rollout in 2022? More like 2025 the way I see it. Answering an earlier question: I was banned for celebrating the Modi victory the 'mallu ...

"deals in next few months" onlee. I ain't going to open even a Bisleri bottle for that news. We had heard that a lot.

Now, when it ACTUALLY happens.. Well, not gonna tell ya!! One ban is enough!!

It is going to be a 'business only' meet this time. No 'public days'. The number of exhibitors is really low, so they removed the whole Hall AB. It is going to be a very lackluster affair this year.

Arnab went against the hearts of the devotees of Lord Ayyappa. A few days penance would do him good.

The way BRDs maintain the birds, there will be no ICY after a few years of operational use

And don't get started on the part obsolescence induced changes. ICY is very important to build the planes quickly. Not that much in operational use.

About marriages: In MBM, people can get married either by the religious mode or civil mode. If you don't do either, then you are not legally wed.

Remember that the corporate entities have a lot more 'diverse ammunition' (no pun) to get things done at the NBF (Neta-Babu-Fauji) level compared to DPSUs. Actually, better than the ruski and yehudi 'ammunition' youknow.

There is behind the scenes campaign to harness all the 'pvt entities that can contribute something' into the push to build a strong MIC. My KB seeing a lot of 'feelers' coming our way.

Buying the plane is the 'give' for the 'take' of technology. They come to us to sell the plane, not to buy parts. The 'technology' I am talking about is not the "ToT" in the normal parlance. It is not anything with the wonderful technical things that make the gizmos tick. It is the simply ...

The runway is 10-28. Clearly visible from google earth. The landing gear not deployed story is totally bullshit.
