Congratulations, Niraj Chopra for winning Gold in Javelin throw at Tokyo Olympic Games. Niraj ended the long drought of medals for India. The Indian campaign ended on the happiest note.

ज्येष्ठ पत्रकार राधाक���ष्ण नार्वेकर यांच्या निधनाने मी जीवलग मि��्र, मार्गदर्शक गमावला. माझ्या बातमीदारीतील सुरुवातीच्या वर्षांत नार्वेकर हे मोठा आधार होते. कमालीचा प्रामाणिकपणा व माहितीचा खजिना यामुळे नार्वेकर आधारस्तंभ वाटायचे. जीवनात अनेक दु:खे पचवत ते हसरेच राहिले, हे विशेष.

Diego Maradona, the best footballer ever produced after Brazil's Pele passed away due to cardiac arrest and has made the world sad and grieving. He was truly legendary Brazilian with a golden foot. My tributes on behalf of his millions of lovers and followers! RIP, Diego!

The demise of Sir Sean Connery, the first actor to portrait James Bond on silver screen has left a sharp wounds on the minds of film lovers. I still remember Sir Sean's Bond in 'Dr. No' and in 'From Russia with Love'. He will be always remembered for his roles. RIP Sir Sean!

With the demise of Jaswant Singh, India has lost an eminent and most respected personality in the fields of foreign affairs & Defence! He was Leader of Opposition in RS when I entered the Parliament. His impressive personality has left impact on my mind. https://t.co/pNNvoIptvo

Congress is sitting on a volcano in the wake of selecting new leader. There seems to be a vertical split in the first & second ranks of leadership. It's a matter of shame for the party that top leadership does not see beyond Gandhis. @RahulGandhi #SoniaGandhi.

Today is the most memorable and historic day in the life of each Indian. Prabhu Ram received the most overdue justice after 500 long years. Let the proposed temple be the Centre of Indian Culture. @narendramodi

[Bharat Kumar Raut @BharatkumarRaut]

Congratulations, @narendramodi @rajnathsingh for getting the #RafaleJets finally. Pl ignore what @RahulGandhi and his men say. You have served the National cause every effectively.

सरकारचे डोके ठिकाणावर आहे काय?

आजच्याच दिवशी १२३ वर्षांपूर्वी लोकमान्य टिळकाच्या 'केसरी' प्रसिद्ध झालेला हा अग्रलेख. त्यासाठीच राजद्रोहाच्या आरोपावरून लोकमान्यांना सहा वर्षांची शिक्षा झाली व त्यांची रवानगी मंडालेच्या तुरुंगात झाली.तिथेच त्यांनी 'गीता रहस्य' लिहिले.

Not out 100 and going strong. The mother of PM @narendramodi , Heeraben completed a century today. I wish her healthy life ahead.

कमल शेडगे गेले. अक्षरकलेचा अनभिषिक्त सम्राट गेला. त्यांच्यासह टाइम्समध्ये काम करण्याची संधी मिळाली. माझ्या पहिल्या पुस्तकाचे मुखपृष्ठ त्यांनीच केले. कलाकाराप्रमाणेच फटकळ असले तरी कामाला ते वाघ होते. 'विकली'त मध्यरात्रीनंतरही काम करताना त्यांना अनेकदा पाहिले. श्रद्धांजली!

The death of veteran journalist and activist Dinoo Ranadive marks the end of an era of agitation and struggle coupled with conscious journalism. He was a guiding force behind many journalists like me and an able support to activists. My heartfelt tributes. https://t.co/lseDjJqxtf

Govt to resume local train services in Mumbai for essential staff tomorrow. A real 'Great Leap Forward' by @narendramodi & @PiyushGoyalOffc. Maharashtra has been coping up with #corona, thanks to @uddhavthackeray. Keep it up. Maharashtra is looking forward to.

Thank you @mpparimal for taking cognisance of Uma Prajapathi. You always think about those who are ignored and rejected by the society.

[Parimal Nathwani @mpparimal]

Kudos to Uma Prajapati, daughter of a roadside #fruit vendor, for ranking in the 99.7 percentile in class 10 #GSEB. She proves that #Hardwork triumphs adversities. She hopes to become a teacher or doctor. My best wishes are with her. @HRDMinistry https://t.co/cJwOGh72Kt

कोरोना महामारीमुळे आषाढी वारी यंदा टळणार असे दिसते. इतक्या नाजुक व संवेदनाशील विषयावर वेळीच निर्णय घेतल्याबद्दल मुख्यमंत्री @U_Thackeray यांचे अभिनंदन. ही वारी आता कार्तिकी एकादशीला (२६ नोव्हेंबर) घेतां येईल का, याचा विचार आत्ताच करता येईल.

[Bharat Kumar Raut @BharatkumarRaut]

The death of Chandrakanta Goyal has marked end of an era in public life that made an impact on post-independence era, particularly in Mumbai. Wife of late Ved Prakash Goyal always remained in public life and represented Matunga for 3 terms. RIP! https://t.co/n4opFha90O

Now that the SC has declared that the issue of bringing back the original name of my Motherlyas Bharat needs to solved by the Govt and not judiciary, the ball is in the court of the #Modi government. Hope @narendramodi decides quickly.

[Bharat Kumar Raut @BharatkumarRaut]

Noted playwright Ratnakar Matkari (81) is no more. This is a rude blow served to Marathi Society by Corona.Our childhood was enriched by his plays like 'Nimma Shimma Rakshas'. The ever-smiling Matkari remained engaged in writing till his end. RIP. https://t.co/k1cvqqbpWS
