good to see this video, i.e. with the actual orchestra playing rather than hearing just the audio track.

Watching Iron Bird raised one question in my mind. The Tejas near accident that happened while testing software upgrade why wasnt that thing caught on Iron Bird? Is there any more info on what really went wrong ? The iron bird test facility does not actually fly (you can see in the video it is insi...

Actually, Kejriwal should call xxx and say please appoint someone to fix the pollution problem in 30 days and YOU personally take responsibility for it. And tell us upfront what consequence you will face if you fail. :rotfl: I think this is good idea. It will show how little a judiciary (ANY judici...

'Weak pylons....', That is interesting. Is there a accident report anywhere on the internet? Who designed these pylons (HAL? ADA?). There will be some pylon re-design (or new completely new pylons) needed for a flying testbed, along with some potential modification of airframe. So who will design th...

Big slap to @ArvindKejriwal by apex court. Supreme Court lashes out at Arvind Kejriwal govt. Says no implementation except assurances & popularity slogans. “If you want orders, we will give order. We will appoint someone to administer your govt, says CJI NV Ramana very weird. Is there any legal...

^^^All of Europe is on the at-risk country list.
UK got a special mention

All pax from at-risk list to home-quarantine for 7 days even if tested negative at Indian airport.

For those who believe getting a flying testbed is a matter of grabbing an AI 747 and painting a HAL logo on it etc. please check this link. It is a flying testbed for a radar that DRDO was testing. It crashed (1999) killing all eight on board: pilots and scientists. As I recall, it was replaced with...

^ Well, at least in the USA, Covid vaccine appointments are hard to find. Wonder what the UK has been doing differently. I doubt this is the case given the story of the past few months where states have been turning back vaccines (for the lack of use). This was 4-5 months ago. Plenty of scenes on T...

The new variant cannot be stopped, only its entry can be delayed. Even with restrictions on, the Delta variant came to all countries.

^^^ unbelievable pictures and exercises. Speaks to a high level of toughness. The air drop is only the beginning. They have to land on rugged ground, steep ridges; re-group, collect their equipment and be ready for battle and hold ground for 2 days. At high altitude, in winter.

Indeed some southern languages use words that are closer to Sanskrit and old Hindi than current-day Hindi which has significant component of Urdu. In the list posted earlier, I did not see: ameer/rich (dhanik), gareeb/poor (nirdhan), kurbani/sacrifice (nyauchaawar), merherban/mercy-ful (kripa), kamj...

What is striking is that neither of the 2 people are wearings masks, and talking with their faces so closer to each other. Biden is a getting a direct load of Modi's vocal blast. There isn't a bigger endorsement of the efficacy of Indian COVID vaccine than this picture. WHO be dammed.

I did not see the exact quotes from the EAM or the general but if they are publicly professing ignorance, it is likely they know what's going on. If you dont actually know what's going on, the last thing you'll do is to say it aloud in public. high profile jobs like that of an EAM and an army genera...

Sai Deepak exposed Tharoor for what he is: a sententious prattler passing overwrought magniloquent prose for intellectuality and oxbridge tainted glib pontification for incisive argument, and delivered a dyspneic, antwacky Tharoor his comeuppance.

Yes, the deal was done in a transparent way and they won by fair auction. But the finer nuances were quite interesting to me. Indeed. I am especially curious about how the union issues were negotiated (with the bloat and the potential for retrenchment etc.) Unrelated to above but one point made in ...

I don’t know why people see it as Air India ‘returning’ to Tata, as if Tata willingly let the airlines be nationalized, or that they ‘got it back’ for free. They went through an auction just like anybody else and purchased it. And are taking on a whole lot of headaches with the union issues. I am ju...

Btw I am seeing that world over, despite having everything many people are unhappy. So I feel that before the knowledge of Gita is plagiarized and rebranded by the west, this knowledge should be spread vigorously so that it can help out a lot of people through out the world. Like for example, many ...

SriKumar

. Wondering if you saw the bit about the weekdays and their (most likely) Indian origin. The astronomical aspect of this might be of interest to you. OTOH, you might have already followed the earlier discussion with Shri Oak and might know about this already. If you are talking about the post on th...

Thank you both Sudarshan ji and Cyrano ji for your posts. Quest for self realization of truth is a life long journey, and both of you and this thread in general has helped me immensely in that. It may be shorter than you think. The problem is that these 'religious' aspects are not introduced in sch...

All this stuff about Malaysia and Palm oil reminds me of the spat that happened a couple of years ago where their PM (mahatir?) said something about Cashmore or some specific internal matter to India; and malaysian palm oil was embargoed. Maybe it is off the embargo list now.

After the loss of the previous test, and 191 all out in the first innings, and a English lead of 100 runs, it looked bad for India. Speaks volumes to the mental toughness that our second innings batting killed their bowlers, and Indian bowlers collpased their batting once the breakthrough came. Hopi...

SriKumar

Awesome outcome. India did not let their tail wag. England had a great start overnight with 77 and no loss of wickets. They could have pulled through for a draw but Kohli and team did not allow it. And engineered a collapse. After the loss in the previous test, this was badly needed. Rain gods suppo...

Its also why Modi sarkar, in addition to spreading positivity, should remind the misdeeds of the opposition & the grotesque conditions our country was under, while C-system, DMK et al were ruling. Moral high-horses don't work. What's good at a personal level isn't good as public policy. I think...

Velocity increase is due to Mr. Gravity pulling it. The thought crossed my mind but this gave me pause. The plot shows 'relative velocity' . My supposition is that the relative velocity is the velocity of the rocket relative to the surface of the earth, i.e. the velocity 'tangential' to earth surfa...

Yes, but do look at 48:43, in the background (at the top where everyone in mission control looks at). There are 4-5 screens. Two show plots plots which are more interesting than the ones at 38:01 and 39:21. It shows the story about 100 secs after CUS ignition. At 39:19 through 39:21 the velocity inc...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMAQdfjWXvM&t=3s In the graphic at 48.43, the plot on the right showing altitude vs time plot suggests that there was a significant loss in altitude in the last 75 seconds, more so than what gravity would do. From 9th grade physics, fall due to gravity would be S=...

There is Olympic experience.
