Bharat missing, only Summit present. 5 STEPS: Step 1: Call unemployed, visibility-hungry foreign “experts” to lecture on Democracy. Free food + free hashtag. Step 2: Get everyone to speak lie. India dying, democracy dead, economy finished. Repeat 10 times. Step 3: Rahul ji speaks 10 min, leaves in 5 min. No questions, only claps. Step 4: Blame everyone - EVM, Media, ED, CBI, Modi. Everyone wrong, only we right. Step 5: Pass resolution - Bharat in danger. Next day, start planning next foreign vacation.

Chhath Puja - Significance & Crisp History Chhath is not just a festival, it is a 4-day sun-worship ritual for health, children, and gratitude. Only festival where setting sun is worshipped first, then rising sun. History: - Vedic origin: Mentioned in Rigveda as Surya worship. Draupadi and Pandavas did Chhath in Mahabharata for kingdom back. - Ramayana link: Lord Rama and Sita did Chhath after returning from 14 years exile, in Kartik month. - Surya Putra Karna: First Chhathi Maiya devotee, stood in water for hours offering Arghya. - Bihar origin: Started on banks of Ganga, Son, Gandak by early Magahi / Maithil people, 1000+ years old. - Modern: From Bihar, now global - Delhi, Mumbai, Nepal, US, Mauritius. 2026 Chhath was Oct 27-30. Why it matters: No priest, no idol, no temple. Direct worship of nature - Sun, water, earth. Fasting women stand 36 hours without water.

With Ship 42 caught from orbit, full reusability is now real, not theory. Launch cost will crash from $10,000/kg to under $100/kg. That means daily launches, giant space stations, Moon base by 2030s, and Mars cargo missions in this decade. NASA Artemis, Starlink v3, and deep-space missions just got 10x cheaper and faster.

USA Ground Stop - Latest, Sat 14 Nov Evening ET Status: LIFTED, but chaos continues Ground stop lifted Fri 13 Nov, 8:15 pm ET. Flights resumed, but system still recovering. What happened: - 3:36 pm ET Fri: 17 of 22 ATC centres lost radar / radio stability - Cause: Contractor L3Harris replacing old copper wire with fiber. New router started flooding network - 1000+ connection attempts every 4-5 sec, crashing comms - FAA ordered nationwide ground stop - only 2nd time since 9/11, first since Jan 2023 - NOT cyberattack, NOT AI. Confirmed by DHS Secretary Mullin Damage so far: - Fri 13 Nov: ∼12,000 flights cancelled, 10,000+ delayed - Sat 14 Nov: 6,200+ cancelled, 18,800+ delayed - Atlanta, Chicago O'Hare, JFK, Dallas worst hit - 1.5 million+ passengers affected - Airlines: Delta 2,200+, American 2,200+, United 1,800+ cancelled on Fri alone Latest - 14 Nov presser: - FAA Chief Bedford: Apologised, full recovery expected by Sunday close of business - Transport Sec Sean Duffy: Asked Congress for $50 billion emergency upgrade, said "system didn't meet the moment" - United + Delta put their own mini ground stops Sat at O'Hare / LaGuardia for congestion For travellers on Sunday: Check airline app before going to airport. Rebooking free, but no compensation required - FAA fault, not airline fault.

HISTOTIC ACHIEVEMENT - SpaceX Starship Flight 15 THE HIT - Starship Ship 42 - What no one had ever done - Reached orbit, deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites - Survived 22+ hours, 14 orbits in space - Re-entered Earth at 25,000 kmph, through 1,600°C plasma - Flipped, slowed, and was CAUGHT mid-air by Mechazilla chopsticks on 14 Nov - First time EVER in history an orbital upper stage was caught and recovered for reuse This is the real breakthrough. Falcon throws away its 2nd stage every flight. Starship just proved it can bring it back. THE MISS - Booster - Just a booster abort. 32/33 engines, low fuel, auto-divert to Gulf, exploded. - SpaceX has already caught boosters 3 times before. This was a known, repeatable part. - Booster loss = setback, not failure. Bottom line: Miss = lost a booster they know how to catch. Hit = solved the hardest problem in rocketry - bringing a spaceship back from orbit, intact. Double catch failed, but SpaceX just made full reusability real.

There was no pocket on his kurta? 😀

This year India won it on the last ball.

Ok, so @CMShehbaz's plan is simple. Bring begging into the formal economy, count it in GDP, and Pakistan will become the 6th largest economy by 2050.

SpaceX double catch failed, here is the crisp info: - Mission: Starship Flight 15, 13 Nov 2026, 5:47 pm ET, from Starbase, Texas - Rocket: 407 feet tall, biggest rocket ever. Super Heavy Booster 22 + Ship 42, nicknamed Don't Panic - Goal: First ever double catch. Catch both booster and ship back at launch tower with chopstick arms, to make rocket 100 percent reusable - What happened to booster: Launch was clean, booster separated, did boostback burn. But at 6.5 minutes, safety checks failed. Catch was aborted automatically. Booster diverted to Gulf of Mexico, splashed down and exploded in fireball - What happened to ship: Ship reached orbit successfully, only 2nd time ever. Deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites - Ship still in orbit: Will circle Earth 14 times, for 22 hours, then try to come back to same tower on Saturday, 14 Nov, around 4:17 pm ET for a catch attempt - Why it matters: SpaceX has caught booster 3 times before, but never with this new V3 booster, and never caught a ship returning from orbit - SpaceX reaction: Said not sure why booster could not be brought back, reviewing data - Expert reaction: Called it mixed bag so far - What is next: If ship catch works on Saturday, it will still be historic. If it fails, SpaceX will try again. NASA needs Starship for Moon Artemis mission

BREAKING: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) orders a nationwide ground stop, halting departures across the United States after radio frequency and radar outages affected several air traffic control centers and terminal facilities. What happened: - On 13 Nov, around 3:36 pm ET, radar and radio communication started failing across US air traffic control centers. - FAA ordered a nationwide ground stop at 3:54 pm ET. All departing flights in US were halted. What was affected: - All 22 Air Route Traffic Control Centers - TRACON facilities, which handle arrivals and departures around airports - Started in Chicago, then spread to Boston, New York, Washington, Minneapolis What was NOT affected: - Flights already in air were allowed to land safely. At one point 3,500 planes were in air, they were brought down to under 400. - Medical, cargo with medicines, and law enforcement flights were allowed. Impact: - More than 10,000 flights delayed - More than 2,000 flights cancelled - 600+ flights diverted Cause: - Not a cyberattack, as per US officials. - No link to Microsoft outage. - Old analog telecom system got overloaded. Routers started giving inconsistent radar data. System is from 1980s, still uses old switches. Status now: - Ground stop lifted after about 4 hours, around 8:15 pm ET on 13 Nov. - But delays will continue through weekend. Why it is rare: - Only 3rd nationwide ground stop in US history. 1st: 9/11 attacks in 2001 2nd: Jan 2023, NOTAM system failure 3rd: This one

BIG news for Indian Exporters As a part of trade deal, US has now assured India that Indian products will get lower tariff than competitors (like Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka). Why India was insisting on this: India said, we will not sign the deal unless you give us an edge over our rivals. US has now agreed to that in principle. What is still pending: - Final tariff numbers are not out yet, they will come after US finishes its Section 301 investigation - Deal is expected by end of this financial year, by March 2027 - First part will cover only goods, not services - India has also kept a safety clause: if US later increases tariff beyond promise, India can also change its concessions Which sectors will benefit most: Textiles, garments, pharma, gems, engineering goods, where India fights directly with Vietnam and Bangladesh.
