An Indian engineer in Bengaluru got tired of potholes destroying his car.

So he built an app with Codex that detects them, finds who is responsible, and files a complaint.

Here is how it works. He installed a dashcam with GPS and an accelerometer. The app records everything while he drives.

A vision model classifies every pothole by size. Small, medium, large.

But here is the clever part. Most Indian roads are under warranty.

The contractor who built them is legally responsible for fixing potholes for free.

His app searches through 2,900 government contracts, finds the exact tender number, identifies the officer responsible, attaches the photo and geolocation, and generates a ready-to-file complaint.

One drive to work. 12 potholes detected. 12 complaints ready.

A serious safety hazard exists on Holiday Village Road, Talaghattapura Ward, where an old drainage/manhole pit has been left without a proper cover.

Recently, a cyclist lost balance on the road and fell into the open drainage, highlighting the serious risk this poses to cyclists, pedestrians, and two-wheeler riders.

A rocket launch in China fails just seconds after takeoff.

The rocket is destroyed. The mission is lost. Years of work and millions of dollars are gone.

In a serious space programme, the next question is not “How can we make fun of them?”

It is: What went wrong?

Engineers analyse the failure. Scientists study the data. The problem is identified, the design is improved, and eventually, another rocket is launched.

That is how science works.

China, which is already far ahead of India in several areas of space and technology, has had its share of launch failures. But there is generally a much stronger understanding that a failed mission is part of the process of building technological capability.

Now imagine the exact same thing happening in India.

One of the first things we would see is Indians themselves making memes, mocking scientists and celebrating the failure as if our country had lost a cricket match.

We have seen this before.

When Chandrayaan-2 failed to achieve a soft landing, there were people who mocked the mission instead of understanding what it represented: thousands of scientists and engineers attempting something extremely difficult.

And yet, they went back, studied what happened, fixed what needed to be fixed, and tried again.

Chandrayaan-3 succeeded, making India the first country to successfully soft-land near the Moon's south-polar region.

That is the part we should remember.

Patriotism does not mean pretending that everything India does is perfect.

It means being mature enough to say:

Okay, this didn't work.

Why?

Let's find out.

Let's fix it.

Let's try again.

Scientists and engineers need the freedom to fail, learn and improve. If every failure becomes an excuse for public ridicule, we don't create a culture of innovation. We create a culture where people become afraid to attempt difficult things.

A failed rocket can be repaired.

A failed mission can be followed by a successful one.

But a mindset that celebrates failure simply because it happened to your own country is much harder to repair.

Criticism should make us better. Mockery should not become our idea of critical thinking.

So, these were the complaints against Sonam Wangchuk in 2007.

There have been lots of incidents of conducting SIR in the mosque. Is it legal?

Bus driver and conductor both watching videos on their phones while speeding at 100 km/h on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway.

This is why accidents keep happening every single day.

This is not one bus. This is the standard practice in most private buses.

You are traveling with death sitting right next to the driver.

How many more people have to die before someone takes action?
