Quote of the day by Adolf Loos is a reminder that authenticity has enduring power. Life can reward appearances temporarily, but reality eventually tests what is genuine. Truth gives people clarity, strengthens relationships, supports personal growth, and creates the foundation for lasting trust. It encourages us to remove unnecessary layers of pretense and confront ourselves and the world honestly. The message is not that truth makes life effortless; sometimes it makes life more difficult at first.

Quote of the day by John Wooden asks us to reconsider what we want our lives to look like when we look back on them. Nobody wants to remember only meetings, deadlines, spreadsheets, commutes, and long hours. People tend to treasure moments of connection: a childs laughter, a meaningful conversation, a spontaneous trip, a celebration with friends, a sunset, a shared meal, or the satisfaction of helping someone. These moments cannot always be scheduled perfectly, which makes it even more important to leave space for them. Building a meaningful life requires conscious choices about priorities. Sometimes saying no to another task means saying yes to family. Sometimes stepping away from work is not giving up; it is remembering why the work matters in the first place.

'Healthy competition' helps Tanya Chaudhary set national record in hammer throw
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 11 (IANS) A healthy competition with fellow trainee Anushka Yadav proved beneficial for Tanya Chaudhary of Uttar Pradesh as he set the national record in women's hammer throw in the Indian Athletics Series Final in New Delhi. It was like the fulfilment of a dream for Tanya, and the fact that she set a new mark just before the upcoming Asian Games was like icing on the cake as the 22-year-old took the spotlight on the opening day of the meet on Thursday. Day One of the prize-money meet saw two national records being set in the hammer throw, with Tanya achieving the feat that she has been chasing for the past three years. Tanya achieved her quest by improving the national record in the womens hammer throw as she hurled the iron ball to a distance of 68.35m, improving the national record of 65.25m, which was set by Sarita Singh in 2017. My previous personal best is 63.91m. I have done 65m-plus two or three times (at the inter-university level), but those were not official. Now, I am able to do it (break the national record). It is a new beginning, she said. Normally, I used to be nervous. But I was focused on my technique today. Tanya, who trains along with Anushka at the same ground at Bhagpat in Uttar Pradesh under different coaches, said the healthy competition helped her move forward. We both are from the same ground. So, there is healthy competition between us. So, it is good for both of us to move forward. Though Tanya could not breach the Asian Games qualifying mark, she has made it to the team for the mega event in Aichi-Nagoya in Japan and is looking forward to continuing the momentum in Japan. It was because of injury. Now I feel I will do better. I had multiple injuries at the same time: a hamstring injury and a stress injury in the femur bone. The injuries were going on since January. In the men's section, Delhis Nirbhay Choudhary recorded a throw of 71.02m, which was better than the previous national record of 70.73m set by Neeraj Kumar in 2016. The other major attraction for Indian athletics fans was the successful return to action by Avinash Sable in the men's 3000m steeplechase. Sable, representing Maharashtra, won the steeplechase in a time of 8 minutes 32.39 seconds in his first race in the distance in more than a year. Spotlight was also on 400m runners as the top six finishers in the mens race clocked below 46 seconds. Top three in the womens 400m race also dipped below 53 seconds. I will do better and win a medal at the Japan Asian Games, said Vishal TK, winner of the gold medal and national 400m record holder, in the post-race interaction. Maharashtras promising sprinter Harita Bhadra, winner of the womens 100m dash, said the Indian Athletics Series Final was good preparation for the Asian Games. It was a good experience for me to race in the 100m dash with the top sprinters, Harita added. Odishas Animesh Kujur won both the 100m and 200m dash in the mens section. Results: Men: 100m: Animesh Kujur (Odisha) 10.21 seconds, Gurindervir Singh (Punjab) 10.32 seconds, Rushiprasad Desai (Maharashtra) 10.33 seconds. 200m: Animesh Kujur (Odisha) 20.59 secs, Jishnu Prasad (Kerala) 20.63 secs, Abhay Singh (Madhya Pradesh) 21.04 secs. 400m: Vishal TK (Tamil Nadu) 45.36 seconds, Jay Kumar (Uttar Pradesh) 45.50 seconds, Manu TS (Kerala) 45.68 seconds. 800m: Mohammed Afsal (Kerala) 1:46.40 secs, Prakash Gadade (Maharashtra) 1:46.56 secs, Krishan Kumar (Haryana) 1:46.73 secs. 1500m: Rahul Baloda (Rajasthan) 3:39.89 secs, Yoonus Shah (Uttar Pradesh) 3:40.37 secs, Sunil Dawar (Madhya Pradesh) 3:43.68 secs. 110m hurdles: Krishik M (Karnataka) 13.65 secs, Muhammed Lazan (Kerala) 13.84 secs, Manav R (Tamil Nadu) 13.85 secs. 400m hurdles: Santhosh Kumar (Tamil Nadu) 50.08 secs, Ruchit Mori (Gujarat) 50.61 secs, Subhas Das (West Bengal) 50.73 secs. 3,000m steeplechase: Avinash Sable (Maharashtra) 3:32.39.

'Govt will address all your grievances', CM Fadnavis assures protesting MPSC aspirants
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 11 (IANS) In a major breakthrough following widespread student outrage over administrative lapses in the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC), Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday assured protesting candidates that the government will address all their grievances, re-evaluate key examination papers, and institute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into paper leak allegations. The assurances came during a high-level, nearly two-hour meeting between the Chief Minister and a delegation of MPSC candidates. Addressing the media following the discussion, Fadnavis validated the students' anger, attributing the unrest to long-festering systemic issues within the commission. The students' outburst is entirely justified. Problems have accumulated over time because necessary corrective steps were not taken when they should have been, CM Fadnavis stated. This crisis now presents us with an opportunity to overhaul the entire system. I assure you that action will be taken within the next eight days against anyone found guilty if evidence is provided, he added. CM said that a re-checking of answer sheets for the State Services Main Examination 2025 will be conducted. He further stated that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) will be constituted to probe the paper leak allegations and administrative malpractices. Interviews originally scheduled to begin on September 21 have been postponed to facilitate the review process. Upcoming examinations are being postponed temporarily to guarantee a foolproof, leak-proof system. Given the unprecedented scale of ongoing recruitment, exams will resume only after full systemic readiness, keeping transparency as the paramount standard, he added. A thorough investigation into the Drug Inspector exam paper leak is currently underway. The administration is focused on fixing structural defects within the system rather than concealing them. The investigation has not concluded and will be pursued to its logical end. Candidates will be provided access to their answer sheets under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, bypassing previous restrictions linked to MAT (Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal) proceedings, he assured. A high-level committee headed by senior bureaucrat V Radha will receive representations from candidates to suggest structural reforms, he noted. The panel consists of highly trusted senior officials who will travel across the state to consult directly with candidates, parents, educators, and relevant stakeholders. Aspirants are encouraged to submit their concerns and suggestions freely. The reform committee will formulate clear, standardised guidelines for interview panels. Examinations facing allegations or grievances will undergo re-inspection, and interviews for those specific posts will remain suspended until clarity is achieved to ensure long-term solutions without lingering doubts, said the CM. The preliminary investigation report prepared by the Crime Branch will be made accessible to the public. An SIT investigation will review all examinations conducted during the tenures of officials Lendwe, Marathe, and Nakhate. The recommendations of the Rajurkar Committee will be evaluated, and appropriate measures will be implemented. Technical modifications, such as attaching RFID tracking chips to both legs or suitable alternatives, will be introduced during physical tests. A standardised scoring pattern will be established across all districts for police recruitment. All issues concerning state welfare coaching bodiesSARTHI, BARTI, and Mahajyotiwill be addressed and resolved, assured CM Fadnavis. A detailed inquiry will be conducted into the recruitment examinations held for the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), with strict action promised against those found guilty, he announced. An independent inquiry will be ordered if any evidence is provided against the MPSC Chairman or Secretary. Severe action will be taken against anyone found guilty, with zero tolerance for corruption. Implementation of these decisions will be initiated within the next 8 days, said CM Fadnavis. A dedicated Grievance Redressal Cell headed by a retired judge will be established within the MPSC to handle student concerns. Representatives of the student delegation expressed satisfaction with the meeting, confirming that the Chief Minister accepted all their primary demands, including 12 foundational points and 4 additional key demands. Our discussion with the Chief Minister was extremely positive, a student representative said. He gave us a patient hearing despite a tight schedule and accepted 100 percent of our demands. We express our gratitude for his decisive intervention. CM Fadnavis reiterated the government's commitment to ensuring complete transparency in future MPSC recruitment drives, promising that upcoming examinations would be 100% leak-proof and fair. Meanwhile, MP Shrikant Shinde addressed a letter to Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, advocating deep-seated administrative reforms to restore faith in the MPSC. He requested the appointment of a senior IAS officer as the Secretary of the MPSC and urged the state government to establish an independent selection panelcomprising retired judges and senior bureaucratsto select the Commission's Chairman and members, ensuring candidates with impeccable integrity, free from political influence, are appointed.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 11 (IANS) Enforcement Directorate (ED) searches at the residences, offices and properties linked to Karnataka PWD Minister Satish Jarkiholi ended on Thursday after nearly 37 hours, with the minister saying the cash recovered during the searches belonged to him and that he would submit documents to establish its source. The ED had launched searches at 18 locations linked to Jarkiholi in Bengaluru, Belagavi and other places from 6 a.m. on Wednesday in connection with alleged violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and suspected illegal investments abroad. The searches also covered properties of his family members, close associates and others linked to him. The searches continued until Thursday evening, with officials examining documents and other material at the premises. Around Rs 3 crore in cash was allegedly found at Jarkiholi's residence in Belagavi. The ED officials also took away certain important documents recovered from his Bengaluru residence. After the searches ended, Jarkiholi addressed the media at his official residence in Bengaluru and said he was unable to understand the reason behind the ED action. We will give proper answers to the questions asked by the ED officials. We have told them that the cash found during the searches belongs to us, Jarkiholi said. He said documents relating to the cash would be submitted to the agency and added that the ED had taken away cash and certain documents from his properties. According to Jarkiholi, the agency primarily questioned him about investments abroad and possible violations under FEMA. They have said that we have made investments abroad. We have told them that we are at the stage of making investments, he said. The minister questioned the need for searches, saying the agency could have issued a notice and sought information. He also alleged that there could be a political angle behind the action. I cannot find out the reason for the ED raid. There may be a political reason, or it may have come from their own sources. They could have issued a notice and sought information, he said. Jarkiholi said several people involved in much larger activities were being left out while his properties had been targeted. There are many very big people who do such things. Leaving them aside and coming to us is a matter for discussion, he said. Describing the exercise as a search rather than a raid, Jarkiholi said he was ready to cooperate with the agency and provide information whenever required. This is not an ED raid, it is only a search, he said. On the cash recovered from his residence, he said he would claim it according to the law and provide the necessary documents. There is a smell of politics behind this. We have said that the cash found belongs to us. I will claim it according to the law, he said. Jarkiholi also alleged that Congress leaders were being targeted by central investigative agencies and questioned why similar action was not being taken against BJP leaders. We knew that our party leaders would be targeted, but the ED came to me first. The fact that there have been no raids on BJP leaders is a question, he said. However, he said he would not claim that he had never made any minor mistakes and expressed confidence in a fair investigation. I may have made small mistakes; I will not say that I have not. I have faith that the ED officials will conduct a fair investigation, he said. Referring to the recent case involving former minister B. Nagendra, Jarkiholi said, Nagendra happened, and now it is our turn. He also expressed concern over whether the action could be linked to his community, saying there was apprehension among people that a particular community was being targeted. Jarkiholi said he would try to meet Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Friday, if possible. The ED is examining alleged foreign investments and possible FEMA violations as part of its investigation.
