Quick notes: Auto jobs | Army pensions...

  • Job losses coming to auto-sector: The average combustion engine takes about 3.5 hours to make, while an electric motor takes about 1 hour.. A combustion-engine car has 1,400 components in the motor, exhaust system and transmission.. An electric vehicle’s battery and electric motor has only 200 components.. Around 410,000 German jobs are at risk by 2030.


  • Vengeful CM: Kia looking to move $1.1 billion plant out of Jagan's Andhra.


  • No use in real combat? China says India can’t build an effective missile defense system. "Inadequate capital, unsmooth R&D process, heavy reliance on other countries for key technology and incomplete systems" 


  • Populism bites: Army to spend more on pensions than on salaries. Rs 111,294 crore for army salaries, Rs 113,278 crore for army pensions. Funds that could otherwise go towards equipment modernisation


  • Ashtavakra Gita: It is in the infinite ocean of myself that the mind-creation called the world takes place.



  • Be Modern and Use Sanskrit to Decolonize Your Mind:  Sanskrit is a wonderful tool to liberate our mind from the two of the most pressing problems of the modern world: addiction and depression. Sanskrit is an analytical and a holistic language. It is both argumentative and sacred. It is good for singing and reciting. Be modern and use Sanskrit to decolonize your mind.


  • Slave Thinking: Children penalised for speaking in Kannada 






  • How to end traffic  European cities offer a roadmap for life with fewer cars.. . . . Better bus lanes can fix everyone’s commute
