21,000 pani puris.
13 feet of Lord Ganesha.
And one idea that turned food waste into art.

Pune’s FC Road is drawing attention this Ganeshotsav for an unusual reason.

Ganesh Bhel has created a massive Lord Ganesha idol using around 21,000 pani puri shells.

The idol stands approximately 13 feet tall and 10 feet wide.

But the numbers are only half the story.

The installation was created by artist Prashant Salunkhe and a team of around 8–10 artisans. The construction took about 15 days, with preparations beginning nearly two months earlier.

Even more interesting is the thinking behind the material.

According to the organisers, leftover dough that could have gone to waste was used to make the puris. After the celebrations, the puris are planned to be converted into organic fertiliser.

That turns a familiar street food into something much bigger:

Waste → Resource → Art → Community attraction.

It is also reportedly the fourth consecutive year that Ganesh Bhel has experimented with unconventional materials for its Ganpati installation.

Sometimes, innovation isn't about inventing something completely new.

It is about looking at something ordinary and asking:

“What else can this become?”

What happens when a TikTok founder enters the AI race?
The answer is showing up in Asia’s billionaire rankings.

Zhang Yiming, the founder of ByteDance, has become Asia’s richest person, with an estimated net worth of $105.5 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

But the bigger story is not just the number.

It is how that wealth was created.

In March 2019, Bloomberg estimated Zhang’s wealth at around $13 billion.

Today, it is more than 8 times higher.

And ByteDance is no longer just a TikTok story.

The company is expanding aggressively into AI:

• Doubao, ByteDance’s AI chatbot, reportedly reached around 380 million monthly users

• Seedance has emerged as a major AI video generation model

• ByteDance could spend up to $70 billion in 2026 on AI infrastructure, according to Reuters

There is another interesting number.

Zhang’s estimated wealth increased by more than $12 billion in September following updated valuations of privately held ByteDance.

That last point matters.

Because ByteDance is private, Zhang’s net worth is based largely on estimated company valuations rather than a publicly traded share price.

So this story is bigger than one billionaire moving ahead of another.

It reflects where technology value is moving.

From social media to AI.

From attention to intelligence.

From building platforms to building AI ecosystems.

The next generation of technology wealth may not come from creating another social network.

It may come from building the intelligence layer behind everything else.

What if your next building material started as food waste?

That is no longer just a futuristic idea.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo developed a 100% plant-based material by processing discarded vegetables, fruits and other food waste through drying, pulverising and hot-pressing.

And one result was especially surprising:

Chinese cabbage waste produced a material with a bending strength of around 18 MPa, compared with roughly 5 MPa for the concrete benchmark used in the research.

That is nearly 4× the bending strength.

A 5 mm-thick sample was also reported to withstand a load of around 30 kg.

The researchers tested around 30 types of food waste, including cabbage, orange peel, onion, pumpkin, banana peel and seaweed.

The science is fascinating because the food isn't simply mixed into concrete.

The waste is:
→ Dried
→ Pulverised
→ Mixed with water
→ Heat-pressed into a solid material

The researchers suggest that sugars and dietary fibres within the food waste contribute to the bonding process when heated and compressed.

There is also a much bigger sustainability question behind this.

The University of Tokyo notes that cement manufacturing contributes around 8% of global CO₂ emissions. At the same time, enormous quantities of food are discarded globally.

What if one waste stream could become a resource for another?

This research is still a material-development story, not evidence that conventional concrete can already be replaced across construction.

But it demonstrates something important:

The materials we call “waste” may still contain significant value.

And the future of construction may involve not just finding new materials, but rethinking what we already throw away.

Would you trust a building material made from food waste?

India is not just entering the Asian Games.
It is entering with a record to defend.

The 20th Asian Games, Aichi-Nagoya 2026, brings together more than 11,000 athletes from 45 countries and regions, with competition beginning before the official opening ceremony on September 19.

For India, the benchmark is already historic.

At Hangzhou 2022, India won 107 medals:
28 Gold
38 Silver
41 Bronze

It was India's best-ever medal tally at the Asian Games.

Now, the challenge is different.

Can India build on that momentum?

Athletics will be one of the major areas to watch, with a 77-member squad featuring athletes such as Avinash Sable, Gulveer Singh, Murali Sreeshankar, Ancy Sojan, Jyothi Yarraji and Annu Rani.

At the same time, emerging disciplines such as teqball are making their Asian Games debut, showing how the sporting landscape across Asia continues to evolve.

And there is an important storyline beyond the medal table.

India's progress is increasingly being measured not only by individual champions, but by the depth of its sporting ecosystem.

107 medals set the benchmark.

Aichi-Nagoya will show what comes next.

What should India focus on most at Asian Games 2026: medal count, emerging talent, or building long-term sporting depth?

47 lakh litres of diesel. One pipeline. Two countries.
India has once again supplied diesel to Bangladesh through the India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline, highlighting how energy infrastructure can become a critical part of regional connectivity.

The latest shipment involved nearly 4,000 metric tonnes of High-Speed Diesel and reached Bangladesh’s Parbatipur Receiving Terminal in Dinajpur.

But the bigger story is the infrastructure behind it.

The India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline:
• Stretches roughly 131.5 km between India and Bangladesh
• Has an annual capacity of 1 million tonnes of High-Speed Diesel
• Became operational in 2023
• Has transported more than 330,000 tonnes of diesel since operations began

Why does this matter?

For Bangladesh, the pipeline provides a direct and more efficient route for fuel supplies, particularly to the country’s northern region.

For India, it represents another layer of cross-border economic and energy connectivity with a key neighbouring country.

And at a time when energy security and resilient supply chains are becoming increasingly important, physical infrastructure like this can have significance far beyond the fuel it carries.

47 lakh litres may sound like just a number.

But behind that number is a cross-border infrastructure network built to move energy, strengthen supply chains and support regional connectivity.

What if the world’s largest real-time payment system is no longer completely free?
India’s UPI ecosystem is entering a new phase.

From October 15, 2026, a 0.4% Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) will apply to specified person-to-merchant UPI transactions above ₹2,000.

But there is an important distinction:

P2P UPI payments remain completely free, regardless of transaction value.

Merchant payments up to ₹2,000 remain free.

Small merchants covered under the zero-MDR framework also remain protected.

According to the government, around 96% of merchant UPI transactions will remain unaffected.

The numbers show just how significant UPI has become.

In August 2026 alone, UPI processed around 24.5 billion transactions worth nearly ₹29.8 lakh crore. It now accounts for roughly 84% of India's digital payment transaction volume.

This is where Ashneer Grover has raised a different question.

He argues that transactions above ₹2,000 represent only about 4% of merchant transaction volume but account for a much larger share of transaction value.

Grover has also pointed to RBI's ₹2.87 lakh crore surplus transfer, ₹4.11 lakh crore in listed bank profits and NPCI's reported ₹1,888 crore pre-tax surplus while questioning the economic rationale for introducing the levy.

The government's position is different.

It says MDR is not a tax or government revenue. It is a merchant-side fee distributed among participants in the payment ecosystem to support UPI's operation, expansion, cybersecurity and long-term sustainability.

So this isn't simply a debate about a 0.4% fee.

It is a larger question about how India should fund the infrastructure behind one of its most successful digital public payment systems.

Should UPI remain a zero-cost utility?

Or should higher-value merchant transactions help fund the ecosystem that powers it?

The answer will shape how India's digital payments economy evolves next.

What does Ganesh Chaturthi look like at 14,000 feet?
For these Indian soldiers, it means celebrating Bappa far from home, surrounded by some of the most demanding terrain in the country.

Recent visuals from Ladakh show Army personnel observing Ganesh Chaturthi at a high altitude post reportedly around 14,000 feet above sea level. The exact location of the post has not been publicly disclosed.

At this altitude, the environment itself becomes a challenge.

Thin air.
Extreme cold.
Rugged terrain.
Limited access.
And long periods away from family.

The Indian government has stated that troops deployed above 12,000 feet receive special ration scales designed around the increased nutritional demands of high altitude and extreme climatic conditions.

The challenge of operating at these elevations is also reflected in India's high altitude infrastructure. For context, the Pang-Kaithal HVDC project in Ladakh is located at 15,760 feet, while the Indian Army continues to operate across multiple posts in similarly demanding terrain.

Yet even here, traditions travel.

A Ganesh idol.
A prayer.
The tricolour.
A few moments that bring a sense of home to soldiers stationed thousands of metres above sea level.

For millions, Ganesh Chaturthi is about family, community and celebration.

For soldiers posted in remote frontiers, it can also become a small reminder of the people, traditions and way of life waiting back home.

Faith can travel anywhere. So can duty.

The biggest number behind this festive season isn’t the sales target.
It’s the 2.5 lakh+ employment opportunities being created to make the demand possible.

Ahead of Big Billion Days, Flipkart has announced more than 2.5 lakh direct and indirect employment opportunities, including gig work, across its supply chain.

Here’s what stands out:

75,000
First-time workforce entrants, nearly 30% of the total opportunities.

1.4 lakh
Additional opportunities in last-mile delivery, accounting for around 60% of the new roles.

900+
New festive delivery hubs being added across the country.

7,000+
Ekart facilities involved across fulfilment, sortation and last-mile operations.

And there is a larger shift happening underneath these numbers.

Demand is expanding beyond India's major metros. Flipkart says Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets are contributing to the growing demand, while the expansion of Flipkart Minutes is adding another layer of pressure on fulfilment and last-mile infrastructure.

Just days earlier, Flipkart Minutes reported 4X year-on-year growth, reaching nearly 1,200 micro-fulfilment centres across 150+ cities.

So this festive season is not just about more orders.

It is about the infrastructure, people and logistics network required to deliver those orders at scale.

Festive commerce is becoming an employment and supply-chain story too.

One comment mocked her skin colour. The internet reminded them what leadership actually looks like.
A post targeting President Droupadi Murmu’s complexion triggered a wave of criticism on X.

But beyond the social-media exchanges, there is a much bigger story.

Droupadi Murmu was born into a Santhal tribal family in Uparbeda, Odisha. She started her journey as a teacher and later served as an elected representative, a minister and the Governor of Jharkhand. On 25 July 2022, she took oath as the 15th President of India.

Her own official account of her journey describes the distance travelled: from a small tribal village to the highest constitutional office of the Republic.

She is also the constitutional head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Armed Forces.

That is why this conversation should not simply be reduced to an India-Pakistan social-media exchange.

It is about something much more universal:

Skin colour is not a measure of someone's worth.
Background is not a ceiling on someone's ambition.
And leadership is not defined by appearance.

The most powerful response to prejudice is often not louder abuse.

It is a life that proves the prejudice wrong.

What happens when an ancient Indian tradition meets one of Britain’s most iconic rivers?

For the first time, Ganga Aarti was performed on the banks of the River Thames in London.

On 13 September 2026, thousands gathered at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich for “Ganga Aarti on the Thames: A Ceremony of Light.”

Organised by Chinmaya Mission UK in collaboration with the Totally Thames Festival, the ceremony brought the spiritual symbolism of the Ganga to the heart of London.

The significance goes far beyond the spectacle.

For generations, Ganga Aarti has been a ritual of gratitude towards the river, nature and the forces that sustain life. Bringing that tradition to the Thames created a cultural bridge between India and the United Kingdom.

Two ancient rivers.

Two different histories.

One shared reminder of how deeply human civilisation is connected to water.

The ceremony also carried an important environmental message.

Rather than placing flowers, lamps or other offerings into the Thames, the ritual was conducted from the riverbank, allowing the tradition to be observed without adding waste to the water.

The event was part of celebrations marking 75 years of Chinmaya Mission and featured spiritual leaders including Swami Chidanand Saraswati and Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati, who are associated with the renowned Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan in Rishikesh.

But perhaps the most powerful part of the story is this:

Culture does not remain confined to the place where it began.

It travels with people.

It evolves with new surroundings.

And when preserved thoughtfully, it can become a bridge between generations, communities and countries.

The Thames witnessed a ceremony rooted in India's spiritual heritage.

London witnessed a living expression of Indian culture.

And thousands witnessed what happens when tradition travels across borders without losing its meaning.
