How trackless trams could help revitalize city suburbs

Trackless trams have emerged from high-speed rail technology. Versions of trackless trams have been in development for almost 20 years, but in 2017 the Chinese Rail Corporation, CRRC, introduced an autonomously guided tram,
a significant advance of the design and technology known as Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART).

ART has the ride quality and service characteristic of light rail, but at significantly less cost as it avoids the disruption caused by installing rail in the roadbed.
The vehicles travel on rubber tyres, guided autonomously using optical, lidar, radar and GPS technology. They are bi-directional, and have multiple carriages, as well as safety features and communication technologies that contribute to fleet management and ride quality

Will this be END of Ola and Uber?

Ratan Tata and Mukesh Ambani have joined hands with a startup (BluSmart) to transform India's public transportation system.

BluSmart is India's first electric taxi company. The company's 600+ electric vehicle fleet now runs only in Delhi, NCR. Image
Taxi rental companies Uber and Ola revolutionized the way we commute.

But now, complaints about Uber and Ola’s bad customer service are at an all-time high. And we are all sick of their surge pricing and cancellations.
When compared to Ola and Uber, this startup promises to be at least 30% cheaper. The company intends to expand to other Indian cities.

Last year, Tata Motors agreed to supply BluSmart with 3,500 electric vehicles.

From borrowing Rs 500 from a relative, to becoming a millionaire.

This is the story of Krishna Yadav who sets an example for all the women out there to believe in themselves, work hard and never give up.
Coming from Bulandshahr in UP, she & her family were facing acute financial crisis.

Her husband faced major health issues which shifted major responsibilities to Krishna’s shoulders.

She then decided to move to Delhi for better opportunities & borrowed Rs 500 from a relative.
She tried hard to get a job but all her efforts met failure.

She then decided to get into farming which she continued for a few years.

In 2001 after attending a 3 month training in food processing, she invested a sum of Rs 3,000 and prepared 2 different types of pickles.

भारतीय संस्कृति

समयसूचक AM और PM का उदगम भारत ही था। पर हमें बचपन से यह रटवाया गया,विश्वास दिलवाया गया कि इन दो शब्दों AM और PM का मतलब होता है:

AM: एंटी मेरिडियन (ante meridian)
PM: पोस्ट मेरिडियन (post meridian)

एंटी यानि पहले, लेकिन किसके?
पोस्ट यानि बाद में, लेकिन किसके?
यह कभी साफ नहीं किया गया, क्योंकि यह चुराये गये शब्द का लघुतम रूप था।

अध्ययन करने से ज्ञात हुआ हमारी प्राचीन संस्कृत भाषा ने इस संशय को अपनी आंधियों में उड़ा दिया, अब, सब साफ-साफ दृष्टिगत है।

AM- आरोहनम् मार्तण्डस्य Aarohanam Martandasya
PM-पतनम् मार्तण्डस्य Patanam Martandasya
सूर्य, जो कि हर आकाशीय गणना का मूल है, उसीको गौण कर दिया। अंग्रेजी के ये शब्द संस्कृत के उस 'मतलब' को नहीं इंगित करते जो कि वास्तव में है।

आरोहणम् मार्तण्डस्य Arohanam Martandasaya यानि सूर्य का आरोहण (चढ़ाव)।
पतनम् मार्तण्डस्य Patanam Martandasaya यानि सूर्य का ढलाव।

World's biggest Financial SHOCK might not be a US recession, but the SECRET Gold in #China !?

Yesterday, China's central bank made some announcements. Utility of the digital Yuan (Up by 1800%) will expand beyond 4 trial cities.

Share of Gold in Forex Reserves across nations -
USA : ~74%, India : ~7% , China : ~5% (officially)

But, wait.. there's something fishy-

What if the Chinese Govt 'secretly' had more than the USA's Gold Reserves?

Afterall, "He who owns the gold, makes the rules."

Here's an interesting Story -
In 2007, China overtook South Africa as the largest gold producer. In last 10 years, ~15% of world's gold was produced by China. It was accumulated via :

1.) Mining :-
~50% of Chinese gold production is Govt owned.
Export of domestic mine production is not allowed.
