Army's indigenous push to support jawans on LAC

Delhi-based startup DTech 360 Innovations was called in to Leh to showcase its advanced high-altitude habitat solution, which can maintain the inside temperature without using a heater, kerosene oil or generator.

Speaking to this newspaper during the recently held HimTech Symposium 2024 at Leh, organised by the Fire & Fury Corps, DTech 360 Innovations' MD Vinay Mittal claimed that the "Peak Pods" can withstand a wind speed of 190 kmph.

"Our product is a very lightweight and 100 per cent relocatable and modular structure which can be erected and dismantled in a maximum 6-8 hours. It also prevents snow accumulation." Talking about the technology, Mittal said, "Peak Pods" is a revolutionary indigenous product, which has been developed after a four-year of research and development and it is suitable for the troops posted in the forward areas in inclement weather conditions." He said that there is no technology that can maintain the shelter's temperature at 10-15°C when the outside temperature is 40°C, and that too without using any heater, kerosene oil or generator.

Bland mix of several underwhelming ideas

Beyond the world of genres and subgenres, lies stories which are powerful enough to become popular tropes of their own. A group of kids going on adventures, and solving mysteries, is one such trope. We have seen iterations of this in popular media like The Famous Five, The Goonies, and Stranger Things. While trying to follow a popular story structure is nothing to be frowned upon, Prime Video's Snakes and Ladders goes above and beyond to remove even the inherent joys of the stories it aims to emulate.

MASTERCLASS BEYOND METHOD ACTING

A blank screen in a cinema theatre transforms every day, portraying tales of heart-wrenching star-crossed lovers, a goosebump-inducing haunted house, or comedy that leaves one aching all over. Many have written endlessly about the power and magic of cinema, and rightfully so. A movie-going experience is incomparable. In Tamil Nadu, theatres are never empty, single screens thrum with whistles, howls and kuthu moves, and the first-day-first-show tickets are coveted. And neighbourhoods in Vadapalani and Kodambakkam are landmarks, still carry dreams of aspiring actors.
