And to any guy arguing pissing is a biological need etc ask him "so how do women manage all the time, every where on the planet?" Cyrano garu...the question you asked above was famously asked on BRF by another poster shiv (predates you by years) on the topic of public urination that one s...

On the other hand, what kind of charges be brought against him ? I doubt any strong charge will stand in court. What is the maximum punishment for those ? Not sure what your point is but then I think you are missing the point of my post. There was a lot that the AI crew could have done differently ...

The Air India story is pretty sick, at many levels, but I do blame the staff for some of the BS that happened. 1. They could not offer the poor lady a different, first-class or a business seat away from the urine-soaked seat? Unbelievable. 2. They took the crazy guy back to the lady and so he could ...

I thought the ban on weapons was modifed/watered down along the LAC itself, post Galwan.

There is a reason why public baths were a common feature in the 19th Century. The English simply didn't believe in daily bathing. James Clavell's novel, Taipan had one of the characters cursing about the oppressive humidity of the tropics. His antagonist had adapted by having a daily bath and cloth...

What I find hilarious and a bit pathetic is the Indian liberal mocking anyone celebrating Rishi Sunak’s very overt Hindu religiosity. Mostly with “Andh bhakts are happy over Rishi becoming PM, but not happy with Sonia becoming PM” I am surprised that Liz Truss become a PM at all. Her knowledge of g...

he's a literal cow-worshipper, having done so just before the elections.

SriKumar'ji, the "CUS" of GSLVmkIII you refer to is actually called C25 stage with CE20 engine and it never had problems in flight. This is different from the actual CUS of GSLVmkII which is powered by the CE7.5 engine. This one is a naughty boy and the last one failed due to stage leakin...

So this rocket has a cryo upper stage. IIRC the previous two rockets launches with a cryo upper stage had a problem with the cryo stage (for sure the last one had a problem).

A semi-related question.....Is the current Covid strain in the US the same variant as what's happening in India right now or a different sub-variaint? In other words, does getting Covid in the US confer you any immunity from the current strain in India, even partially?

After all the train burnings involving fire (=Agni), the name Agniveer and Agnipath might come to be associated with something else.

As I said earlier, if an establishment or Govt goes in for a decision that is a one-shot, sharp change without any transition and with poor communication, then it will leave the system open to turbulence, which will be exploited. That is the nature of the ecosystem of a democracy. Very amateurish f...

^^ Yes, I know many who were boostered and yet got it. Some of them got it from a party where nobody showed any symptoms and even after the event nobody else developed any. So it is also being spread by completely asymptomatic people. Is this the same strain that is in India? In other words, would ...

Gen Fonseka was the chief of army then. He too decided to contest elections after LTTE was defeated, but some cases were filed against him (by Rajapakse’s behest as I recall) and Fonseka withdrew after that.

For fans of 90s MTV, RaGa I seem to be studying hard for Beavis and Butthead Who is the softie interviewer? Looks like the wasp-nest faced Priyamvada Gopal but not sure.

I vaguely remember I came across this (crocodile and babies) in the writings of Swami Vivekananda, when he was in the US.

On a different note, I could not fathom why the oxygen masks would deploy. These are programmed to drop when the cabin pressure is below a certain value (of above 8000 ft air pressure, as I recall). No exactly accurate as masks get deployed during other situations too and I have experienced it pers...

First.....no ji for me, please. I like the plain 'no-ranks/no heirarchy' feel of an anonymous forum. Second, there was no implication, explicit or implicit, that it was cooked up. I was surprised that such specific data was released in public. I thought you had 'your sources' in the right places

Quite a unique, if somewhat strange architecture. Is the new campus built on the historic site or on a new site? I hope it is a new site .

Sikh boys wear patka/turbans to school. It is generally color-matched to the uniform of the school. If the case goes to any court, this will be considered relevant. Every state has Sikh students. In the army one sees olive green turbans.

This is exactly what happened when we deployed troops on the Kailash Range. It was once more a case of out of syllabus question for the Chinese!

I have to believe that these crashes take a toll on all Mig-21airmen and more so, their families. Literally all the aircraft that crashed were deemed airworthy (otherwise they would not be cleared to fly). So a Mig-21 pilot's family will not know if a pilot will return from flying an airworthy craft...

I would hate to increase moderator workload in moderating these threads, hence I'll keep it brief. The article's author stated in black and white that the role of a CDS is 'essentially a planner'.

Is there is a way to rebut this nonsense....I dont know who G Mohan is but he has it wrong.

THanks for hte responses. If it started in August, then that is more than enough time for thousands to have been infected in each country (RSA, India, US etc.) by now given the high R value.
