I've seen all the reports and I respect all the journos, but genuinely, all I can say is that United still remain confident on Fernandes & the deal isn't over yet. This will frustrate people but all I can do is tell you what I know.
I've never once 'hid' and I never, ever, will.
@VatsRishap GOI didn't do anything when Colonel Waibhav Anil Kale was killed, we can't expect them to do anything for the citizens.
The silence is absolute deafening
#WATCH | Nagpur, Maharashtra: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari says, “Last night at 8 PM, I signed the file, finalising the regulations to legally authorise the use of 100% ethanol. I am delighted to share that I, along with Hardeep Singh Puri, had the opportunity to launch the 100% ethanol-compatible version of the WagonR—Maruti Suzuki’s best-selling car. Regarding motorcycles, Hero MotoCorp—which accounts for three out of every five motorcycles sold—has launched two flex-fuel models capable of running on 100% ethanol. Following this, companies like Toyota, Suzuki, MG, and Hyundai will launch 100% ethanol-compatible vehicles within the next month and a half. Thus, ethanol will serve as a viable alternative to petrol. People used to laugh when I spoke of this dream, and some friends even criticised it...Soon, we will launch a pilot project in Nagpur featuring a hydrogen pump and two hydrogen-powered buses. The public will be able to ride these hydrogen buses, which will be powered by green hydrogen extracted from water using an electrolyser. That day is now near.”
Despicable behavior so far from Modi Govt and TATAs in the accident investigation. People claiming Boeing cover up should know that Boeing hasn’t managed to cover up its past failures. No safety bulletin has gone out for 787s based on this accident. This is a cover up to protect Air India and TATAs.
"I have led a toothless life. I have never bitten into anything. I was waiting. I was reserving myself for later on - and I have just noticed that my teeth have gone."
Gen Z realizing one of the biggest shocks after college is that life no longer happens around you.
In school, friends, events, relationships, and opportunities are built into your environment.
As an adult, if you don't actively create a social life, weeks can turn into months surprisingly fast.
Modi remains silent when his voice is needed the most.
Chamchas of the government spin it every time saying it's a 'masterstroke' because he is going to do something at a future date that we have not understood yet.
India is not a Friday episode of Big Boss where a 'twist' and 'element of surprise' is needed to shock the country with 'decisive moves' that can then be packaged into reels set to Dhurandhar music.
It is not Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan who does 'Pariksha pe Charcha'. It is Modi. Where he directly talks to students year after year - telling them how to deal with stress and prepare for board exams. So when the exam papers leak, why is Modi not talking to his beloved students?
Mooh mein dahi kyu jam gayi?
Everyone is always talking about how Modi has increased India's stature in the world. That world leaders respect him. Fair. So what use is that increased leverage and stature if he can't open his mouth when Indian nationals are being killed trying to source oil/gas which is invaluable for the country at this moment? Why is some babu issuing statements on it?
PM Modi's word carries weight.
Chamchas have themselves told us this over the years.
That is why Modi does Pariksha Pe Charcha and not the Education Minister. That is why Modi inaugrates every big and small project in the country. That is why Modi meets the armed forces every Diwali. That is why Modi announced demonetization. That is why Modi is going around the world meeting leaders.
It is the classic Bollywood syndrome.
The hero cannot appear to be vulnerable or weak.
For BJP's domestic politics, it is important that Modi has the 56-inch image all the time. Else his ability to garner votes diminishes. And he is their superstar. That is why all the good things must land on his lap. Modi hai toh mumkin hai.
But there always needs to be a Bakra for all the failures, whether it is the Health Minister during covid, Education Minister during exam leaks, or Railway Minister after accidents. Because the hero cannot fail, else the picture will flop.
Modi centralizes praise, and decentralizes criticism.
Silence can sometimes be strategic, but at other times weakness, and on certain occasions, cowardice.
Speak up, Mr. Prime Minister.
25–28 is an interesting age. I've observed an inflection point during this time at which people start to really diverge in their careers.
e.g.
I have friends who, by this age, have become wildly successful, making millions of dollars, and some have even achieved fame.
Other friends have fallen into a dark hole, not able to find employment or steady work, and even starting to engage in destructive behavior, resulting in life-changing circumstances.
I wonder what it is at this time that causes this extreme divergence.
My guess: if you start working at 22 after graduation, it takes about five years to get good enough at something where people start to notice.
But if you don't find traction early, a few years of drifting can push you toward harmful habits that push your life in the opposite direction.
22 year old fitness influencers tell you that you need 8 hours of sleep, stretching followed by a good warm up, train scientifically, the sauna, a cold plunge and no microplastics
Most fathers are running on 5 hours of sleep, 400mg of caffeine, a quick warm up, crush a lift, meat & potatoes & disciple to get through the day
The world was built by men who showed up tired, not by men waiting for perfect conditions
This is why I loved how Aditya Dhar showed real recordings & footage of Mumbai attacks in Dhurandhar. One of the heaviest moments of the movie but it had to be shown
