RIP Legend 🕊️Betrayal by a friend. A traitor. Like in the Army we say, “we leave no man behind.” The same spirit exists in motorsport you never abandon your own. But here, a rich brat chose otherwise. It was him that was driving the motorboat that night at 200 nautical miles per hour. confirmed by himself to the police While a legend was left behind in open waters, the support boat reportedly took Singhania to safety, carried two other female passengers, and then he flew back to Mumbai. He even refused to to provide his personal info to hospital when he was brought to felidhu for injuries. In the most critical moment, loyalty was replaced by self-preservation. This isn’t just a tragedy it feels like abandonment. Gautam Singhania hasn’t even given a formal explanation of what happened, despite being present at the scene. A legend gone, and questions that will never fade. Gone too soon! 🕊️ @SinghaniaGautam
It’s been over 30 hours, and one of India’s treasures of motorsport is still missing. Yet there’s no clear official report from the Maldives authorities. We’re also hearing that there were no life jackets on the boat. Mr. Gautam Singhania @SinghaniaGautam who was reportedly rescued immediately by a boat behind them, couldn’t save Mr. Hari Singh? That sounds difficult to understand and raises serious questions. The Maldives authorities and Mr. Singhania should clearly explain what exactly happened and release an official statement. I urge the national media to take this up on humanitarian grounds and push for transparency. 🙏🇮🇳 @PoliceMv @MNDF_Official

'Har Kaam Desh Ke Naam' A massive fire broke out at a scrap & recycling unit at Dharavali village of Madh Island, Mumbai at 9 pm on 12 Jan 26. Two fire tenders from Air Force Station Madh Island, with a crew of 20, sprung into action as first responders arriving within 15 minutes. Quick thinking, selfless action & effective drills saved the day. The raging fire was controlled after three hours of joint efforts with civil authorities. Thanks to the team's swift response, a major disaster was averted. Homes and lives were saved by these Air Warriors. Kudos to the heroes! #AirForceToTheRescue #FireFightingHeroes #MumbaiFire #DharavaliVillage #HeroesOfIndia @CMOMaharashtra @mybmc @IAF_MCC @PRODefRjsthn @DefencePRO_Guj @DefPROMumbai @PRODefPune

I don't usually ask for things like this... but today I'm begging. My sister has been in the ICU for the last one month after being poisoned by her inlaws for dowry. She is currently hooked to machines, fighting for her life. Every second feels heavier than the last.

Brands need to higher younger peeps to show cause their products to the youth of today. Cause I feel skateboarding, graffiti and BMX’ing is so 90s. Unless of course we are the target group - ie 45 year olds It’s like that and that’s the way it is.

There is a reason automatic gear scooters sell a lot in India. You can do so much more while riding, like talk on the phone, watch a video, make a reel etc etc. Imagine how creativity will unfold with self balancing scooters!
Self balancing scooters !!! Couldn’t they just have added training wheels would have been cheaper and a less complex solution ?

#ImportantUpdate Air India is in the process of completing the one-time safety checks directed by the Indian aviation regulator, DGCA. These checks are being carried out on the Boeing 787 fleet as they return to India, before being cleared for their next operations. Air India has completed such checks on nine of the Boeing 787 aircraft and are on track to complete this process for the remaining 24 aircraft within the timeline provided by the regulator. Some of these checks could lead to higher turnaround time and potential delays on certain long-haul routes especially those to airports with operating curfews. Customers will be duly notified about any delays. They are advised to check the status of their flights at airindia.com/in/en/manage/fl… before heading to the airport. For customers affected by this disruption, refunds on cancellation or complimentary rescheduling are being offered to those who opt for it. - Air India spokesperson
