Indian Tycoons

Across the globe, people are searching for the secret to a longer and more meaningful life. Some invest in organic diets, others follow strict fitness routines, and many turn to meditation apps and spiritual retreats. Entire industries are built around slowing aging and improving mental health. But in one remote village, the idea of living better has taken a shocking and deeply unconventional form. Here, people sleep in coffins. Not as a punishment. Not as a dare. And certainly not because they are obsessed with death. For the villagers, sleeping in a coffin is a daily practice meant to sharpen the mind, humble the ego, and remind them of the fragile value of life itself. To many outsiders, it sounds disturbing. To the people who live here, it feels perfectly natural. A Daily Encounter With Mortality In most societies, death is hidden. Hospitals, funeral homes, and euphemisms keep it at a distance. People are encouraged to think about success, youth, and the future—but rarely about the...

भारत ने बुनियादी ढांचे के क्षेत्र में एक ऐतिहासिक कदम उठाते हुए अपने पहले अंडरवॉटर रोड-कम-रेल टनल को मंजूरी दे दी है। यह विशाल परियोजना असम में ब्रह्मपुत्र नदी के नीचे बनाई जाएगी और गोपुर को नुमालीगढ़ से जोड़ेगी। इस पूरे कॉरिडोर की लागत ₹18,662 करोड़ है। यह परियोजना न केवल यात्रा का समय कम करेगी, बल्कि माल ढुलाई को सस्ता बनाएगी, क्षेत्रीय व्यापार को गति देगी और लगभग 80 लाख व्यक्ति-दिवस का रोजगार भी पैदा करेगी। विशेषज्ञों के अनुसार, यह पूर्वोत्तर भारत के लिए एक गेम-चेंजर साबित हो सकती है। भारत के लिए क्यों है यह परियोजना ऐतिहासिक? यह भारत का पहला ऐसा टनल प्रोजेक्ट होगा जिसमें सड़क और रेलवे दोनों एक ही अंडरवॉटर टनल में होंगी । दुनिया भर में इस तरह की परियोजनाएँ बहुत कम हैं। सरकारी अधिकारियों के अनुसार, यह दुनिया की दूसरी ऐसी परियोजना होगी जहाँ नदी के नीचे सड़क और रेल दोनों एक साथ बनाई जा रही हैं। ब्रह्मपुत्र जैसी विशाल और तेज़ बहाव वाली नदी के नीचे टनल बनाना एक बड़ी इंजीनियरिंग चुनौती है। बाढ़, तेज़ धारा और बदलती नदी-तल की मिट्टी के बावजूद, यह टनल सालभर भरोसेमंद कनेक्टिविटी देगी। ...

In a world where petrol prices have become a painful part of everyday life, many people wonder why fuel costs so much in some countries while remaining extremely low in others. For example, in India, petrol often costs over ₹100 per litre — a price point that makes filling up a vehicle’s tank a significant monthly expense for most citizens. Yet in some nations, petrol can be bought for as little as ₹2–3 per litre — cheaper than a bottle of water! So, which country actually sells petrol for around Rs 3 per litre — and where fuel is so cheap that it seems almost unbelievable? Let’s explore the fascinating global picture of petrol pricing and uncover the truth behind the numbers. 🌍 Why Petrol Prices Vary So Much Around the World Fuel prices across countries are determined by a mix of: Government Subsidies – Many oil-producing nations subsidize the cost of petrol to keep prices low for their citizens.
