It’s 34 degrees in London & Brits are burning; rail tracks melting,restaurants turning off fryers etc.
As my wife asked : how did these wimps manage to rule super hot India for so long in their heavy uniforms & elaborate tailcoats?
This is cooler than Indian summers

And what a story! Pa was great fun and we used to take off on road trips, replete with singing, picnic baskets and much adventure. But underneath there was always an unquestionable dedication to country and his service and the larger cause with ma invariably lending a helping hand at the many hospitals or charitable organizations. @chakranewz @probirpaymate @srikantkesnur @SandeepUnnithan @zwerubae @indiannavy

Given that say an Indian can come to Ireland and have a sense of Irishness without subscribing to every aspect of it, is something that will really matter going fwd. @ConorMulvagh spks with @SJAMcBride #JLFISLANDOFIRELAND @JLFLitfest

The giants causeway in the northern coast of Ireland is an @UNESCO world heritage natural site, created by slowly cooling lava that fractured creating hexagonal stones. The myth is that a giant family inhabited the area.

VIDEO | In an exclusive interview with PTI, Axis My India Chairman Pradeep Gupta says, "The only fear I have is that sometimes our prediction or direction may be correct, but the numbers may slightly vary, and still people say that the prediction was wrong. I am afraid of making mistakes, that I should not speak without data and make a prediction based on assumptions... Just like PTI, whose job is to report what is happening on the ground, and Axis My India also works to reflect what is happening on the ground. Only the subject matter is different."

A voter deletion exercise spiked up voter turnout, turning India's most intensely fought election the most unpredictable.

Over the two phases of elections, no cases of death or major bombings were reported across 294 constituencies of the state. Analysts attribute the drop to a curtailed electoral span (2 phases as opposed to eight in 2021) and the heavy deployment of central paramilitary forces, with 1 CAPF personnel deployed for every 100-150 voters

At the remembrance event for Sir Mark Tully or Mark Sa’ab as he was fondly called. Several speakers from Suneet Tandon to Yogendra Yadav, Satish Jacob, Saeed Naqvi, Ira Pande and so may more recalled anecdotes and stories. Also what was evident, was how in those decades, BBC was the go to for reliable news, listening to Mark Tully on the radio was a family practice.. Yogendra Yadav recalled it was the BBC they relied on during the election after the emergency.
Everyone spoke of Mark Tully’s commitment to fair, balanced reportage. How he travelled and interacted with all types of people, and his command of hindi. It was a lovely and inspiring event organised by Gillian Wright

In a massive jolt to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday, Rajya Sabha member Raghav Chadha and six other Aam Aadmi Party parliamentarians also quit the party and joined the BJP.

Addressing a press conference with Sandeep Pathak and Ashok Mittal, Mr. Chadha, who was recently demoted by AAP, said, “We have decided that we, the 2/3rd members belonging to the AAP in Rajya Sabha, exercise the provisions of the Constitution of India and merge ourselves with the BJP.”

Outlook photographer Yasir Iqbal has won the World Press Photo Award 2026 in the West Asia region for his photograph titled "A Daughter's Grief in Kashmir," originally published on the cover of Outlook's May 21, 2025 issue — "Is It War?"

A year has passed since the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians and triggered a four-day military escalation between India and Pakistan before the May 11 ceasefire. The photograph remains a haunting testament to the human cost of conflict.
