Its past 11 at night... there's a very severe cyclonic storm raging... How about walking through knee-deep water to visiting some seaside neighbourhoods and assessing the impact.. The Yanam Police, Admin, Minister Malladi Krishna Rao are all visiting localities here.
I've reached Yanam, which is expected to bear the maximum brunt of Very severe cyclonic storm Arnab... Have started reporting from here... winds are insane.. twigs and branches are falling from everywhere around us..never know what will fly in from where!

ISRO GSLV-F18/NVS-03 Launch is all set for Friday, Oct 30th late night... Cyclonic storm Arnab(likely to intensify into severe/very severe) is expected to move several 100kms north of Sriharikota(Vizag-Bapatla)..Therefore, no issues foreseen.. (Let us wait to hear from ISRO)
It's the final week of October, and the ISRO launches planned for this month look set to slip into November. While the NOTAM for the GSLV-F18 / NVS-03 mission establishes an active launch window from October 30 to November 11, the rocket has yet to roll out to the launch pad.

The worst part about Chennai metro is the pathetic condition of roads along the corridors where work is going on... New roads were hurriedly laid along Mt Poonamallee High Road, near Kathipara for PM visit Oct 11th..barely 2 weeks and many craters and potholes. Corruption ?
Replying to @cmrlofficial
@cmrlofficial phase 2 is running between 12-18 months behind schedule. Think of the inconvenience to people living in those areas, the access problems, the awful roads and the additional distance they need to cover just to get home. Most of all, think of the businesses in these areas devastated by the prolonged work. So many shops have shut down. Go to Luz corner and see for yourself. No one is accountable for the delays. This is how things go in India etc... All this for a project that is currently carrying not even one third of the originally projected traffic for the Phase completed and has consumed a huge amount of money. #ChennaiMetro

Would love to see how many Indian politicians can speak like this (at least) about the foreign oligarch Elon Musk... I recall that Kamal Haasan had slammed Musk, something that I couldn't see even BJP or Congress do strongly, despite their IT wings and troll armies..
Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires think they can buy our democracy. They are wrong. Together, we will defeat oligarchy.

The kind of response that Govts everywhere should give to Trillionaire Psycho Elon Musk... (for whatever reasons, very few have the guts to do so) Sooner Musk is sent away to Mars on a one-way ticket, better for humanity!
Elon Musk is threatening democrats who want to investigate him…saying he’ll find out who’s pulling the strings. Listen here, you little fake face bitch. I’m running for Congress…and your threats don’t scare me. Nobody owns me…you want to talk about puppets and strings? Look in the fucking mirror. You’re the one with strings attached, Elon…and your fucking strings are showing. With that shit you just pulled in Ukraine…those strings are attached directly to Putin. We’re sick of your little pedophile wannabe ass… yes you’re going to fucking prison… And if I had it my way, it would be even worse than that…maybe we’ll even send your ass to Mars…I heard it’s cold as hell there You are a stain on humanity Vote Mark Davis for Congress

N. Chandrababu Naidu... At 76, gent casually elaborated that Andhra will operationalise (IBM's) Quantum computer (India's 1st commercial grade) in Feb 2027, AP will make Quantum comps in a few yrs, his vision for capital city Amaravati, much more.. No script, no teleprompter!
If you had to choose South Indian as Prime Minister, whom would you choose?

Oops... Is the PM scolding ISRO for less launches ?? Or is the PM attacking Congress/RaGa??
News Alert! We don't have as many launches from Sriharikota in one year as the Congress makes failed attempts to launch its leader in one year: PM Modi.

Tomorrow if the American Military hardware used by India fails or gets turned off, will the Indian establishment get the same reply ?? That defence supplier India bought from is a private company, the US President has no say on how or when it works or shouldn't work...
Nobody wants to own up to crippling Ukraine's military communications: Marco Rubio is now stating that SpaceX has the ability to modify the operation of Starshield without the direction or consent of the American government.

"Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas... He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas..." Let's see what happens in November... Whether MAGA Megalomania wins or...
Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas. He wants our land, he wants our water, and he wants his own personal U.S. senator. He’s trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we’ll deliver a clear message to the world’s first trillionaire: Texas is not for sale.

The biggest worry worldwide seems to be a Psycho Trillionaire, his politics, his actions... Ashok, Pls see if you have a solution to that problem...
In the age of super intelligence, the current standards of living will look medieval. The problems that society worries about right now will be largely irrelevant. It’ll be the equivalent of current society worrying about the bubonic plague.

At a time when only the US(SpaceX, Blue Origin), and Chinese entities have mastered re-usable spacefaring rockets, few Indian startups are announcing their re-usable rocket plans.. Well, even the Indian Govt space agency ISRO doesn't have reusable rockets.. Time will tell!

Meet the most truthful, sincere, peace-loving Billionaire-turned-Trillionaire.... For 4+yrs, his Tech and politics have had no impact on the Russia-Ukraine war... Musk is such a sweet, cute gentleman!
EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal. The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…
