Moment I heard about the #UttarakhandDisaster I knew somewhere two sets of IAF pilots and ground crews, one from transport and other from helicopters, will be going on readiness for any call.
Sons of the soil...none knows this terrain and area better than these tough and hardy souls.
This is going to be one long night for many people. Pray for the safety of those trapped in the tunnels.
- Damaged Tapovan-Vishnugad Hydro-Electric Power project.
- Report from The Hindu also says that a part of Nandadevi glacier broke off.

@pratyasharath 1. Buying a house for self use is not an investment.
2. Because unless you're in dire circumstances, you won't be selling or mortgaging it.
3. Plus, its a illiquid asset and can't be monetized easily.
4. Before buying a house, please check EMI is what % of your household income+
@pratyasharath +
5. Theoretically, if EMI is 30% of less of your HH income, you can buy a house.
6. Plus, in an ideal scenario, your HH income should increase and EMI as % of HH income will fall.
7. But ask yourself this - what is the kind of pressure EMI payment will have on other activities+
@pratyasharath + Travel, leisure, eating-out, kids education (can you send your kids in future to desired school) and most important of them all, impact on Saving!
8. Because you'll get 80% loan and 20% has to come from your pocket.
9. Even a standard Rs 50L house will require you to put up+

- An IAF veteran, whose TL is littered with explicit Hindu-phobic tweets, gets sacked by an airline, and we've some veterans, and @VishnuNDTV, talking about ethos, his previous service record & similar stuff.
- Would they've said the same if his content was deemed Islamophobic?
+

- And its funny that some veterans have just discovered ethos!
- I mean, if kind of language and mocking tone reserved for current CDS, or any Veteran who is perceived to be supporting GOI actions, is anything to go by, these ethos seem to be applied selectively.
- There are +
+ cohorts here.
- Veterans who oppose BJP and RSS, and by extension, the GOI.
- There is almost a Pavlovian response to every GOI action; it has to be bad, or bad-faith and what-have-you.
- Tragedy is that the political bias has infiltrated into military assessment as well.
