The parents of those kids who suffered should sue the organisation.

Uttar Pradesh exports crossed Rs 2 lakh crore for the first time.

State's export growth is 8.16 percent, above the national average.

Schemes such as One District One Product (ODOP), the Defence Corridor, electronics manufacturing clusters, data centres and the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar are expected to further strengthen the state's export ecosystem.

Uttar Pradesh continues to be India's fifth-largest exporting state after Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

One of the most unexpected milestones in our marriage happened recently, and it has nothing to do with money, kids, vacations, anniversaries or any of the usual stuff.

​

We've been married for more than a decade. Typical AM preceded by a courtship of around 7-8 months.

​

In the early years, both of us were almost extravagantly positive about our own parents as well as each other's parents. Looking back, it was probably a bit superficial. Any criticism, however mild, would immediately be met with explanations, context, or defense.

​

Over time, that changed.

​

We started noticing the usual human flaws, habits, quirks and occasional wrong behavior that every parent is capable of. Initially, we would acknowledge these things only when talking about the other person's parents, while remaining protective of our own.

​

A few years later, I found myself openly admitting when my parents were being unreasonable or unfair in certain situations. My wife was still a little hesitant when it came to her own parents.

​

Gradually, she changed too.

​

And over the last few months, I've noticed something interesting. She has become completely comfortable discussing her parents' shortcomings, mistakes and problematic behavior whenever they happen. Not out of anger or resentment, but with honesty.

What struck me wasn't the criticism itself.

It was the fact that neither of us feels the need to defend our parents' mistakes in front of each other anymore.

To be clear, this is not a post about toxic parents. Both our sets of parents are wonderful people who have done a lot for us. They also happen to be human beings with flaws, blind spots and bad days, just like the rest of us.

The milestone is this: somewhere along the way, we stopped seeing conversations about our parents' shortcomings as a threat.

We've become secure enough in our relationship to acknowledge reality without feeling disloyal. We can vent, discuss, disagree and process things together without worrying that the other person will think less of our family.

In a strange way, it feels like we've truly become each other's primary emotional home.

Not because we love our parents any less, but because we trust each other enough to be honest about them.

Has anyone else in a long-term relationship experienced something similar?

I know patent rankings aren't everything. A high patent count doesn't automatically mean better products or groundbreaking innovation.

That said, Jio Platforms reportedly jumped 320 places to enter the top 20 applicants in WIPO's international patent rankings, putting it alongside companies like Huawei, Samsung, Qualcomm, Google, Apple, and Microsoft.

What caught my attention isn't the company itself, but what this might represent.

For a long time, India's tech story has mostly been about adopting, scaling, and servicing technology. We've been very good at that. But creating original technology and building large intellectual property portfolios has been much rarer.

If Indian companies are starting to file meaningful patents in areas like 5G, 6G, AI, cloud infrastructure, and network technologies, that's a positive sign. Not because patents are trophies, but because they suggest investment in actual R&D.

Maybe this turns out to be just one company's success. Or maybe it's an early sign that India is gradually moving from being a technology consumer to becoming a technology creator as well.

Either way, I'd love to see more Indian companies show up in these kinds of global innovation rankings over the next decade.

What do you think—is this a meaningful milestone, or are patent rankings given too much importance?

Viraj Pathak killed a kid in Firozabad, UP.

UP Police shot him in an encounter.

Nobody came to defend Viraj.

Asad killed Surya in Ghaziabad & UP Police eliminated him in an encounter.

The whole community came in support of Asad.

This is the DIFFERENCE!!

If this actually happens, it would be a tremendously beneficial change for ordinary Indians. The biggest criticism of the Indian judiciary has always been the massive backlog of pending cases and the extremely slow pace of justice delivery. For many people, cases drag on for years or even decades, which defeats the whole purpose of timely justice.

Having said that, operating courts 24/7 is much easier said than done. The judiciary already faces a serious shortage of judges, and many sanctioned posts across High Courts and lower courts remain vacant. Before implementing such a system, those vacancies would need to be filled and the country would likely require a significantly larger judicial workforce to ensure judges are not overburdened or burnt out.

Technology and AI can definitely help in improving efficiency, case management, documentation, and reducing procedural delays. But technology alone cannot solve structural problems unless there are enough judges, better infrastructure, and administrative reforms to support it.

Nonetheless, this is still a very welcome statement coming from the CJI himself. It at least acknowledges that the current system is struggling and that reforms are urgently needed. Considering the judiciary is often criticized for its pendency, delays, and long vacations, hearing the CJI speak about faster and more accessible justice is definitely a positive sign.

Any other opinions on CJI's comments?
