One of the great ironies of India is that we worship our rivers, yet rarely trust the water that flows into our homes. Which is why Puri’s transformation fascinated me. An entire city where people can apparently drink straight from the tap. And this change didn’t take decades. It happened over just a few years because political leadership, administrative execution and community participation all moved in sync. A key part of the story is the role played by the ‘Jal Sathis’ local women who became guardians of the city’s water quality and helped build public trust in the system. My #MondayMotivation this week comes from leaders & participative citizens who proved that governance can genuinely improve the quality of everyday life
India’s only city where you can drink straight from the tap—no boiling, no filters, no fear. 💧 Puri transformed its broken water system into a 24×7, BIS-certified supply using smart pipelines, IoT monitoring, and community trust. From massive leakages to clean water at every tap, this isn’t just infrastructure—it’s belief restored. This Odisha Day, we ask — if one city can do it, why not others? #CleanWater #SustainableIndia #UrbanTransformation #OdishaDay #Odisha [Tap Water In India, Puri Water Project, Clean Drinking Water, Smart Water Management, Sustainable Cities, Odisha Day]

Well let's open it up for all armed personnel then!
He served his country by putting his life on the line. He has a right to speak, and he pays an annual membership fee. As for loitering which is illegal, a bonafide member has a right to use a property. A vast number of members at this ‘elite’ club are defence personnel who defended the freedom we enjoy.

No, you dont import most of your consumption basket. Your purchasing power depends on inflation not on FX directly. Your maths is not mathing.

The richest people I know are not the ones who earned the most. They are the ones who needed the least.

New Uttar Pradesh is embracing the power of Artificial Intelligence. A ₹25,000 Crore MoU with Puch AI will bring AI Parks, large-scale data center infrastructure, AI Commons, and an AI University to the state. This initiative will strengthen governance, drive innovation, and create future-ready opportunities for our youth.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Puch Ai doesn't have such capability and it's 2025 turnover is less than 50 lalhs. tracxn.com/d/companies/pu…

If you’re in a position to help someone, do it. Irrespective of who you are, you will eventually find yourself in a situation where you need help from someone in a position to give it. What goes around, comes around. 🔄

There’s a new breed of social media influencers who love comparing what they escaped and finding pleasure in dunking on those who stayed back in India. It’s a stupid, lazy way to farm engagement. Most of these posts come from Indians settled abroad, carrying a sense of superiority as if leaving India somehow made them wiser. They talk about what “might have happened” had they stayed, framing India as a land of wasted potential. This commentary helps no one. It only tells young founders, engineers, and scientists buulding every day in India that their work isn’t worth it. Try building Aadhaar, UPI, or Zerodha from wherever you are. Before glorifying how you “escaped,” remember some people stayed back and built the very systems the world now studies. And if anything, feel proud that Indians today are among the most talented builders and leaders running global companies.
If Anthropic’s new CTO had stayed in India, he’d be: — Solving DSA sheets for FAANG prep — Fighting for a 35 LPA package Instead, he’s leading one of the most important AI companies in the world.

Ex-Google CEO, Eric Schmidt: The arrival of non-human intelligence is a historic turning point in history — like fire, electricity, or transport "the next 10 years will determine the next 100" Countries and companies that adopt AI will lead; those that hesitate will fall behind

Strongly believe in this.
Better to live life erring on the side of being optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right! Be realistic, but, as Monty Python would say, always look on the bright side of life!

A powerful way to learn is to not admire people, but to admire their traits. People are fallible and will disappoint. Traits like honesty, hard work, and curiosity are timeless. Deconstruct the best and adopt their methods.
