Plugging an old blog post which is still relevant in this age of #disruption and change.
Recipe for #Growth: Cook unhappiness and tough goals, peppered with #vision timesofindia.indiatimes.com/… – at Mumbai, India
When it comes to #AirQuality and #DelhiPollution , a decade-old problem, government strategy fails, educating people fails, Supreme Court threats fail. And, even the cockroaches fear to tread on it.
Training, mentoring and #skilling for #electronics repair, maintenance and installation will create pathways for future #careers and #jobs .
Delighted to partner with MSME Ministry to create an industry-ready talent pool and contribute to the government's Skill India mission.
The Ministry of MSME, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Samsung India Electronics Pvt. Ltd. in the presence of Dr. Rajneesh, Additional Secretary & Development Commissioner, Ministry of MSME, to promote industry-oriented skill development and enhance employment and self-employment opportunities for youth. The MoU will be implemented at 15 MSME Technology Centres (TCs) across the country.
Under this collaboration, NSQF-compliant, industry-oriented training programmes will be conducted in electronics, mobile phones, home appliances, installation, servicing and repair through State-of-the-art training facilities established at the identified Technology Centres.
Samsung will also provide specialised training, Training of Trainers (ToT), technical support and continuous handholding to ensure quality training delivery.

This is now the biggest nuisance on busy #DelhiNCR streets & dangerous to boot.
These motorized "thelas" are without any number plate and ply merrily without having to meet traffic rules or the short sighted anti-#pollution curbs which are in effect.
@dtptraffic
Every #pollution season, the same insensitivity to ease of living comes out, adding to the #health woes of citizens in #Delhi.
A solution to Delhi's #airpollution woes may not be feasible in a year, but a multi-year strategy will be reassuring.
No tactical measures please!
#MCOpinion | Delhi's annual winter pollution nightmare is a case of market failure but the government reflex action is to roll out the discredited solution of vehicular bans. A solution needs to come out of politicians recognising this crisis for what it is:

Pollution season in #Delhi is here when both #air and #water will be a #health hazard. Measures should go beyond ban on construction and restricting some cars.
Also, musical truck horns are a menace. @dtptraffic needs a drive to curb #noise pollution. Try Chattarpur at night.

Why is Europe going through an unrest.
#EuropeInChaos
What has gone wrong in Europe? Here is my take!
Europe has many strengths. We Europeans are enjoying the highest living standard in the world. Asian nations are more dynamic, but we are the largest market. We have created peace between the arch enemies Germany and France. Europe could be a proud civilization in dialogue with India, China and others. But something has gone wrong.
Until recently Europeans watched the Gen Z rebellions in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and other countries with interest from distance. Now the rebellions have come home - to the center of Europe - to France, Italy and Spain. What has gone wrong? How can Europe bounce back?
Here are my observations:
* Poor leadership. The German chancellor has an approval rate just about 10%, the French president isn't much better at 15%. UK has run through seven prime ministers in ten years, none of them evil, nearly all of them underwhelming and mediocre. A continent once led by Adenauer and Brandt, de Gaulle and Mitterrand simply need new and better leaders.
* No growth. If you want to improve schools and education, there will be less for the retired. Or vice versa. It’s very hard to develop nations when everything is a zero sum game between generations and classes. There is no visible strategy for growth.
* Wrong choices. Spurred by the Russian attack on Ukraine, many European governments prioritize rearmament and support to Ukraine. There is every reason to detest Russia and Putin, but the main threat to Europe comes from within. If we destroy our societies at home we cannot meet outside pressures. It’s wrong to prioritize rearming above education, social services and the environment.
* Pessimism. European leaders speak as if the continent is in an unprecedented crisis. When leaders talk down our own continent, how can anyone expect people to be confident. Pessimism in itself a destructive force and should be replaced with opportunity, dedication to change and hope.
* Lack of curiosity. Europe is lagging far behind East Asia on education, innovation and quality of universities. China has overtaken Europe as the green leader and the economic engine of the world. We have a lot to learn from India. US economy is more dynamic. Still there is a lack of curiosity to other cultures. If we dont become curious, we are doomed.

A legal eagle, in a private chat, at an event last evening in Delhi, suggested that the Tata tussle could be heading for a resolution soon, without giving any details.
Almost a km of water logging with clogged drains, on Mandi Road, near Chattarpur following last night's rain in #Delhi . Sure to lead to jams as the day proceeds...

My thoughts exactly!
As the 2nd photo suggests no one to check for anything beyond the barricades.
All it does is create blockage and jams.
Ease of driving anyone?
From a borrowed gun, living in a one room house supported by a mother who sold milk for a living, to an #AsianGames shooting Gold medal.
This is the story of dreams and should motivate youngsters from all backgrounds to excel and prevail despite all odds.

She borrowed a gun to start shooting and won gold at the Asian Games | Neeru Dhanda has become the first Indian woman to win an individual trap gold at the Asian Games. Neeru's rise to the Asian Games podium was backed by years of sacrifice at home. Her mother Sudesh Devi sold buffalo milk to help keep her daughter's sporting career going. The family lived in a one-room house in Sangatpura as Neeru pursued a sport that demanded equipment, training and travel. For a family that once had to make do with a borrowed gun and limited resources, Neeru's Asian Games gold has become the culmination of years of work and sacrifice. Full Report Here 👇

Good move by #Delhi govt to curb #pollution!
But these are just incremental tactical measures. A broad multi-year national effort is required to ensure a strategic approach to curb #environment pollution and not a seasonal one to prioritize #health & #productivity of citizens.
#JustIn | #Delhi Govt Says: Complete #ban on #construction & #demolition activities from Dec 10, 2026 to Jan 20, 2027
🚨Ban on dust-generating demolition activity & outdoor civil construction activity from Nov 1, 2026 to Jan 31, 2027
🚨Existing #parking charges at authorised parking sites to be doubled to discourage use of pvt vehicles
🚨Govt & pvt offices to reduce 50% work strength, 50% staff shall #WFH from Nov 1 to Feb 28
Whoa!
Balancing 3 gas cylinders on a motor cycle during peak evening traffic, putting his own and several other lives in danger.

Great idea by @MercedesBenzInd
to put together a Studio, at Horizon Centre in Golf Course Road, #Gurgaon to showcase its high end AMG range.
It's the perfect catchment area with a bunch of top MNCs, besides the Camellias, right behind.
And, the desserts come highly recommended!
When cleanliness becomes only periodic to celebrate visits of foreign dignitaries then the idea of #swachhbharat is just a mirage.
Also, why stop stray dogs from biting people only during the #BRICS Summit? 🙄
STORY | MCD to step up cleanliness, stray dog control ahead of BRICS summit
With cleanliness and stray animal control high on its agenda, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has launched a citywide clean-up and beautification drive ahead of the BRICS Summit 2026, with officials directed to spruce up key venues and roads to be used by delegates.
According to senior officials, the decision was taken at a review meeting on August 27, where MCD Commissioner Sanjeev Khirwar directed senior officers and zonal deputy commissioners to closely monitor preparations.
The commissioner instructed officials to treat the summit preparations as a priority and said they would be held personally responsible for lapses, unclean streets and incomplete works in their areas, officials said.

By now we have got used to unauthorized Parking in a pavement, meant for the common man to walk.
What's novel is when the municipal bodies create a permanent structure in the middle of a pavement.
This one is in Bandh Road in Delhi's Chhatarpur. #Delhi is never short of ideas!
