This delightful clip, shared with me by Nagdev Pawar sir, perfectly captures the ongoing nightmare that is the Virar–Manor stretch of NH-48 as of June 2025. Once a smooth, asphalt-paved highway, it was tragically "upgraded" by NHAI to concrete. The result? A national highway that transforms into India's longest...

#Watch The 'White Topping' of NH 48 between the Gujarat Border and Mumbai by NHAI has completely ruined this once beautiful highway. There's no leveling at all; it's a spine-injuring experience, especially southbound. More than ₹500 crores of taxpayers' money was given by NHAI to a contractor for this. You have made life hell for people coming to the financial capital of India, NHAI.

This asphalt road from Kerala (the NH-66) absolutely mogs this concrete clad monstrosity called the Delhi Mumbai Expressway. Ironically, both are built by the NHAI. Stop scamming Indians with shitty PQC roads. If you really want to make it using concrete, use it as a substrata and resurface it with asphalt. The Vadodara Delhi section of the expressway is asphalt anyway. The high rainfall argument doesn't hold true for the Vadodara Mumbai section as the NH66 is located in a region with higher rainfall than Mumbai. The fact that asphalt offers smoother rides is an established fact.

Soon, every new road in India will carry a QR code, giving citizens instant access to project details the name of the contractor, the executive engineer, and even ministry contacts ensuring full public accountability. To make progress updates accessible to everyone, NHAI and highway developers are now required to run YouTube channels, sharing drone visuals, construction milestones, and seeking citizen feedback. Adding to this transparency push, the official NHAI Blog now brings real stories and updates from India’s highways showing how technology and openness can build trust. This is Nitin Gadkari ji's vision, highways monitored not just by officials, but by the people themselves.

🥲 In Poland farmer ploughs up newly laid asphalt Local residents in Gliwice had been waiting years for the road to be renovated. Unfortunately, their joy over the new surface did not last long — a man drove his tractor onto the freshly laid asphalt and ploughed it up. The farmer claims that the road runs through his private property — and says this was his way of protesting. The relevant authorities are already investigating the destruction of municipal property.

Details shared by - Deeksha Bhardwaj Sir, we were at the Brijghat toll plaza in Hapur. That day there was very heavy traffic. There was a Scorpio-N with several young men in it who had been driving recklessly for quite some time. Eventually, they hit our car. Since the impact was on my side, my husband lowered the window on my side and asked them what they were doing. At that moment, one of the boys got out of their car and reached inside from my side, trying to take out the car key. Just then, a police officer from NHAI arrived, intervened, and managed to calm the situation. That boy even apologized to me. However, since they were locals, they called more boys to the spot. As soon as we crossed the toll, the situation escalated again. When the police arrived, one boy came and stood there normally, pretending nothing had happened, and asked us what the issue was. But I recognized him he is clearly visible in the video as well. Another boy was also brought in by the NHAI officer, as he had already seen him earlier. The boy wearing the neon stripes is the NHAI staff member. He helped us a lot. Sir, my children are still in trauma, and the police are not taking any action. Please spread this incident as much as possible. After this incident, my son has even refused to sit in the car because he thinks the car will break. He is only 4 years old.

Why is it that people feel the need to show off only at toll plazas? What’s the point of having bouncers if you can’t even pay a ₹100 toll? And guess what—this guy, Insta Handle - harmansdrip, has around 10-15 similar videos on his Instagram, doing the same thing repeatedly. Using the ambulance lane to bypass the toll? That’s just crossing a line. NHAI, this kind of behavior reflects poorly on you. And yes, Punjab Police, it’s time you take a serious look at this.

Every working parent’s nightmare! You have to work. It’s the only way your family can survive, so you have to put your child in daycare. The licensed facilities that are supposed to keep your child safe while you work, but do they? What makes this even worse is that the daycare providers didn’t tell the parents what happened. A friend sent mom a FB message and that how this nightmare began. How would you have handled this? Personally, I believe the parents were a lot more calm and accommodating than I would be. I can assure you this would not be the end of the story if this were me.

✈️ No runway? No problem. The Saab JAS 39 Gripen was designed to fight even if its airbases are destroyed. In minutes, a stretch of highway can become a fully operational runway, allowing the jet to refuel, rearm, and get back into the fight. This Royal Thai Air Force road takeoff is a perfect demonstration of why the Gripen is one of the most flexible fighter jets in service today. Would you rather have a fighter that depends on major airbases... or one that can launch from a highway?

ANOTHER MILESTONE. Phase-1 of Srinagar Ring Road (Pampore-Narbal-Gabderbal) bypassing the capital city of Srinagar, is now nearing completion. This Phase-1 of the Srinagar Ring Road, which was for the first time approved and announced by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on 25 September 2012 and later fully funded and executed by the National Highways NHAI , will reduce the cumbersome passage of 90-minutes from Pampore to Narbal, to a smooth 30-minute cruise through Chadoura, Ichigam, Budgam, Wadwan. It's a 15-minute drive from Budgam to Pampore but still not operational due to minor incompletions. Main credit for its completion goes to the Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari. Work on Phase-2 from Narbal to Ganderbal is beginning soon.

I was just messing around with the animation, then I noticed that the swimming animation would leave the ripple effect behind, and you can change the size of it, too And of course, you can do this even on a land surface (Imagine a scene with you standing on land, but have a water ripple effect, something like that) Also, in this video, I just learn how to use the sky environment It's really helped me a lot to find the perfect cloud and sky color And I'm really proud of what the final picture has turned into #GPOSER #GPOSERS

"Welcome to Starbase, Texas. This is a city. It's actually legally a city that, thanks to the hard work of the SpaceX team, we built out of nothing and is now a gigantic rocket manufacturing system. We're actually in a public highway, so you can come and visit and drive down the road and see the epic hardware. So I think this is the first time that a rocket development program has actually been on a public highway." 一 Elon Musk

🚨 NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio just said it PERFECTLY in front of dozens of global officials on leftist terrorism "You are here because two weeks ago, a 72-year-old woman was BURNED on over 80% of her body in her own home, in Greece, and she died, executed by a fire bomb because her daughter dared to stand for office!" "Far-left political terrorism is NOT a recent day modern novelty. It is NOT a fiction manufactured by conservative politicians." "For most of the modern era, it was in fact the DOMINANT form of political violence." "You are here today because for five days this winter, the lights went out in Berlin. The longest blackout in the city since the Second World War sparked by an attack that left tens of thousands of households without power in the freezing cold and left an 83-year-old woman dead." "You are here and you came because a month after that Berlin blackout, a French 23-year-old succumbed to traumatic brain injuries beaten to death on the streets of Lyon by a group of far-left militant thugs." "You are here because your political leaders are being attacked and stabbed and shot in your streets — because your businesses have been bombed, because your railways have been sabotaged, because your police officers have been beaten and burned!"' "You are here because this is real and it is getting worse and it can no longer be denied and it can no longer be ignored because it is time to crush this evil forever!"

🐰 i worked a lot with El Guincho. I got to listen to a lot of tracks and i was really wowed by just how fresh and new this was. One of the first thoughts i had was ‘wow, you can approach a song like this?’ and i felt a lot of pressure about how to make the best use of it. so that must be why i wanted to stay close, it was a totally a different vibe, a whole new vibe. i hope to work again and have another session with the producers and songwriters that we worked with

Steve Jobs on why everything around you was made by people no smarter than you: "When you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much, have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. But that's a very limited life." Steve believed most people live with a fundamental misconception. As he puts it: "Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact. And that is—everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you." He continues: "And you can change it. You can influence it. You can build your own things that other people can use. And the minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will pop out the other side—that you can change it, you can mold it." On what matters most: "Maybe the most important thing is to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just going to live in it versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it. I think that's very important." His perspective on why you should change things: "However you learn that, once you learn it, you'll want to change life and make it better because it's kind of messed up in a lot of ways." The shift: "Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again."

Highway Hijacked by Goons? Family with Children Attacked on Mysuru Expressway Is the Mysuru Expressway safe anymore? The occupants of car KA 13 N 4610 allegedly attacked an entire family including a husband, wife, an elderly woman, and children in the middle of the busy Maddur stretch of the expressway at night.Beating up a family in the centre of a national highway is nothing short of highway hooliganism. If such brazen violence can happen on one of Karnataka's busiest roads, what safety can ordinary commuters expect? The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the police must act immediately, identify the accused, and ensure strict legal action.

The modern state highway from Rome to Brindisi still broadly follows the same geographic corridor as a road the ancient Romans began building more than 2,300 years ago. And it's not a coincidence... A 2023 study in the Journal of Regional Science found that modern Italian motorways and railways still largely trace the paths of the old consular roads. The Roman network, the authors write, became "the foundational physical capital" of Italy's current transport system. That network began with a single road. It's called Appian Way. The poet Statius called it regina viarum — the queen of roads. Construction began as a military project during the Samnite Wars to connect Rome to Capua. Over the next century, as Rome pushed south, the road kept extending with it, until it reached Brindisi on the heel of Italy — roughly 540 kilometers of stone. The engineering behind it is extraordinary. Deep foundations of cemented rubble. A surface of polygonal blocks of volcanic basalt, cut and fitted so tightly the historian Procopius later wrote they looked "grown together rather than set by hand." The stretch closest to Rome — the old Appian Way — is a free public park. The original stones are still there — the same ones walked by Roman legions and medieval pilgrims. Cars still use the first few kilometers and after that, the road belongs to whoever wants to walk it. Much of what shaped the ancient world moved along the Appian Way... In 71 BC, after Crassus defeated Spartacus, six thousand of his followers were crucified along a nearly two-hundred-kilometer stretch of it as a warning. The Apostle Paul was brought into Rome as a prisoner on this road. And, according to tradition, Saint Peter walked it the other way, fleeing Nero's persecution. If you want to learn more about one of the oldest and most important of the great ancient roads — and about five other wonders built by the Romans — you can check out today's article here: It's a 5-minute read, and the engineering details alone are worth it. And if you enjoy this kind of deep dive into history, follow and subscribe — there's a new one every week.
