Residents and housing societies in Pimpri-Chinchwad have raised concerns over PCMC's decision to levy property tax on common amenity spaces such as parking areas, gardens, clubhouses, gyms and open spaces. The civic body says the move aims to bring previously unregistered properties into the tax system, but societies argue that these shared facilities are essential services and should not attract additional charges. The new tax is expected to increase maintenance costs for many residents. #PCMC #PimpriChinchwad #PropertyTax #HousingSocieties #Punetimesmirror

“Chris, glad you could make it.” “What’s this all about?” “For years, we’ve allowed you to make movies that are fairly Right coded.” “Yes.” “Well, it’s time to pay the piper.” “What do you mean?” “The Odyssey.” “What about it?” “You’re going to set it on fire.” “Why?” “Because you owe us.”

This is the new Malahi Pakri metro station in Patna Why do every other new project in Bihar appear old? Is it the old designs (compare it with Mumbai metro) or is it the lack of quality finish or is it the civic sense ? PS: This resembles old Delhi metro stations constructed before 2008

Mughals are good because after coming and taking over India, they stayed in India. ✅ Jews are good because after coming and taking over Palestine, they stayed in Palestine. ❌ Mughals are good because they adopted India as their motherland and buit lot of good stuff and made India rich, despite upsetting the demography of India. ✅ Jews are good because they consider Israel as their holy land and built lot of good stuff and made Palestine rich, despite upsetting the demography of Palestine ❌. Mughals did not commit genocide because Hindus are still there. ✅ Israeli Jews have not been committing genocide because the population of Arabs has only been exploding in Gaza and the West Bank. ❌ Muslim rulers enforced jizya on Hindus for centuries but that is okay and was a process of empire building. ✅ Israel’s security checkpoints or barriers to stop suicide bombings are a process of their nation building.❌ Mughals destroyed thousands of temples and built mosques on many sites, this is just "political necessity” and a process of settling political scores and even some Hindu kings did that.✅ Jewish construction in disputed areas of the West Bank is just "political necessity" and just a process of settling political scores and even some Muslim rulers did that. ❌ Mughals had Hindu wives who had full religious freedom and had many Hindu generals. ✅ Israelis give Arabs full citizenship rights including voting and Arabs even form a part of administration. ❌ No decent historian of the early modern world should have anything to gain from the heroes vs villains, wrt Mughal history. To be stuck in this framework is to not think like a historian. The Mughals matter bcz of the world they built and its relevance today, not their excesses! ✅ No decent historian of the modern world should have anything to gain from the heroes vs villains, wrt the history of Israel-Palestine conflict. To be stuck in this framework is to not think like a historian. The Israelis matter bcz of the world they built and its relevance today, not their excesses! ❌

Over 300 Chinese J-20 stealth fighters have been built at roughly $110 million each. Not one carries a turbine blade that matches the service life of its Western equivalent. The WS-15 reached serial production on the J-20A in December 2025. Its high-pressure turbine runs on a third-generation Chinese single-crystal superalloy, rated about 30 degrees Celsius hotter than the second generation. The chemistry works. Casting yield at production scale does not. Chinese foundries scrap two of every three blades they cast. Western foundries scrap one in twenty. Chinese military engines improved from a few hundred hours between overhauls to roughly 1,500 with better blades. Western equivalents run roughly twice as long between overhauls and several times longer in total service life. Western foundries target sulfur below 1 part per million. Best practice runs below 0.3. At that purity, the coating survives thousands of hours in gas streams hotter than the alloy's melting point. A few extra parts per million and the coating peels, the blade oxidizes, and the engine fails prematurely.

Is this record even breakable in the IPL, or just impossible?

There was a time when Indian, Pakistani & Bangladeshi legends could jam together--- without any nationalistic drama. Still remember watching this on TV. Atif Aslam joining in was pure magic. My sister would not miss a single episode!
