Here is what we know: U.S. taxpayer money, funneled through USAID and NIH, funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That research likely caused the COVID pandemic that killed millions and cost trillions.

Dr. Fauci personally signed off on these experiments, then lied to Congress about it. Biden tried to protect him with a last-minute pardon. That’s the very definition of a cover-up.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Chaired a meeting of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister. Deliberated on a wide range of issues relating to India’s economic transformation and long-term development priorities.

I'm never sure if transferring an official is a punishment to the official, or a punishment to the people in the area he gets transferred to.

Twenty-six years later, and this scene still gives the same goosebumps!

No swelling music, no slow motion, no elaborate build-up, no angry shouting, and no melodrama. Just restrained acting, quiet intensity, and the sheer weight of the character's journey.

Outcome decides the narratives.

If you persist and succeed, you would be glorified for not giving up.

If you persist and fail, you would be called as stubborn and stupid.

Will this ever change?

No.

As far as you are concerned, the efforts matter.

As far as the world is concerned, the outcome matters.

This is how it would always be.

Indians want Chinese level of govt efficiency & European levels of freedom while being in an Indian democracy.

Dear @narendramodi ji,

If Indian cities and villages are kept greener and cleaner, our roads are made safer, food adulteration is strictly controlled, Indian heritage sites are better maintained, and public transport becomes more reliable and comfortable, many Indians would prefer spending their vacations in India rather than travelling abroad.

An important announcement ⬇️

[ANI @ANI]

#WATCH | Mumbai | Member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Sanjeev Sanyal says, “The relative performance of the Indian states shows one or two very clear trends. The first is the much talk about the North-South divide, which is not the real economic crisis in the country… It is actually an East-West divide where the eastern half of India is distinctively poorer than the western half of the country… The key to the Eastern half of India is reviving Kolkata, specifically because the high growth all over the country is ultimately driven by a handful of high-growth urban hubs… In that context, eastern India needs a high growth hub… Kolkata already has some clusters and a long, glorious history. Despite the last half century of decline, I would argue that the secret to reviving the eastern half of India must be about the revival of Kolkata, specifically.”

Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:

Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.

Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.

You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.

Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.

Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.

As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.

Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu

The Japanese railway privatization of 1987 stands as one of the most devastating defeats ever dealt to statist transportation mythology. The government split the bloated Japan National Railways into seven regional companies, sold them off, and watched private ownership transform a bankruptcy-bound disaster into the world's most efficient rail system.

JNR hemorrhaged money for decades before privatization. By 1987, the state railway carried debt equivalent to $200 billion in today's money while delivering mediocre service plagued by strikes and inefficiency. Politicians treated it as a jobs program rather than a transportation service. The predictable result: chronic losses, deteriorating infrastructure, and customer service that reflected government monopoly arrogance.

Private ownership changed everything overnight. The new JR companies slashed operating costs by 40% within five years while dramatically improving service quality. JR East alone now generates annual profits exceeding $3 billion. These companies invest billions in cutting-edge technology, maintain punctuality rates above 99%, and operate the world's most advanced high-speed rail networks. They achieved this without a single yen of operational subsidies.

The transformation reveals a core dynamic of transportation infrastructure: private companies must satisfy customers to survive, while government monopolies need only satisfy politicians. JR companies diversified into real estate, retail, and hospitality around their stations, creating integrated profit centers that cross-subsidize rail operations. Government railways never innovate this way because bureaucrats face no market pressure to generate returns.

Meanwhile, Amtrak burns through $2 billion in annual subsidies while delivering third-world service across most routes, and European state railways require massive taxpayer bailouts every few years to stay solvent.

I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and thank you for believing in me to lead the company that has always put you at the center of our work. This is not goodbye. It’s a hello to John and I can’t wait for you to get to know him like I do! 🙏

When God has a plan…

From selling bhatura chole at Vivek Public School in 1989,
to opening Lawrence Garden Banquet from the back of my house in Amritsar in 1990.
In 1991, I chose culinary arts—
a decision that embarrassed almost everyone except my grandmother.

There were years of humiliation I rarely speak about.
Moments that nearly broke me.
In 2000, when my banquet was torn down, I almost gave up.
Instead, I moved to the United States and started over.

Cleaning homes.
Selling food on the streets of TriBeCa.
Sleeping at Grand Central.
Experiencing homelessness at NYC Rescue.
Sleepless nights.
Being called “Curry Boy” on the 7 train.

And still, I kept going.
From there…
8 Michelin stars.
Then losing myself again.
Then starting over—one last time as a promise to my sister—with Bungalow.

And now…
TIME100 Most Influential People in the World 2026.
I’m still trying to process it.
The journey continues.

I know we cannot replicate China or Singapore model in India.

At the same time, these two countries imposed death penalties for food adulteration, spurious drugs and many other crimes which is considered normal in India.

Unless we bring serious punishment for crimes and actually implement it, very difficult to grow as a nation.

Not only our netas and babus, as a society, we are extremely corrupt.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Justice Yashwant Varma has resigned.

And that is the end of the corruption proceedings against him. No High Court or Supreme Court judge in India has ever been punished for corruption since independence.

If a judge faces allegations of corruption, the Supreme Court itself examines them and may then recommend impeachment by Parliament. If the judge resigns before impeachment, the matter is closed. Though technically an FIR can still be filed after resignation, governments do not do so. They never have.

So technically, Justice Varma walks free with pension, benefits, and title intact. Wishing honorable Justice Varma a pleasant and joyful post retirement life.

A newly discovered fossil ape from northern Egypt is reshaping the understanding of early hominoid evolution, researchers report in Science.

The fossil finding suggests that the closest ancestors to modern apes may have emerged in northern Africa, outside the traditionally studied regions of East Africa.
