In this extreme heat, let us also remember the birds and animals around us. A small bowl of water kept outside your home, balconies, terraces, shops or offices can become a lifeline for a thirsty bird. May compassion guide us in these difficult days.
Whenever possible, call and check on elderly parents, grandparents and loved ones during this heatwave. Remind them to stay hydrated, avoid stepping out in peak afternoon hours and take rest whenever possible.
Watch for signs of heat exhaustion like dizziness, nausea or extreme fatigue. If someone around you feels unusually unwell, weak or develops a headache, it is best to help move them to a cool and shaded place immediately. Ensure they get water, ORS etc. that helps them. Children, the elderly and those working outdoors are especially vulnerable during extreme heat. Ignoring these warning signs can quickly turn dangerous and may even lead to heatstroke. In such weather, timely care and attention go a long way.
Different parts of India are witnessing soaring temperatures and the challenges that come with it. This heat is harsh on all of us and I urge you all to take as many precautions as possible. Please stay hydrated, keep water with you when stepping out. Offer a glass of water to others. In weather like this, such kindness goes a long way.
India’s strength lies in such remarkable individuals whose work enriches our collective journey.
Here are some more glimpses from the Padma ceremony.

सच्चा ज्ञान देश, समाज और समस्त मानवता के कल्याण का मार्ग प्रशस्त करता है। इसलिए यह जरूरी है कि हमारा ज्ञान और हमारे कर्म पूरी मानवता के लिए प्रेरणा बनें।
आत्मा शुद्धः सदा नित्यः सुखरूपः स्वयम्प्रभः।
अज्ञानान्मलिनो भाति ज्ञानाच्छुद्धो भवत्ययम्।।

प्रकृति की असीम कृपा, सूर्यदेव की ऊर्जा और वर्षा का पावन आशीर्वाद हम सभी के जीवन को सुख-सौभाग्य से समृद्ध करता है। मेरी कामना है कि धरती पर सदैव हरियाली और खुशहाली बनी रहे।
शं नो देवः सविता त्रायमाणः शं नो भवन्तूषसो विभातीः।
शं नः पर्जन्यो भवतु प्रजाभ्यः शं नः क्षेत्रस्य पतिरस्तु शम्भुः॥
People of Falta have spoken! Democracy has won and intimidation has lost.
Congratulations to Shri Debangshu Panda Ji for winning in Falta by a record margin. It indicates the unwavering faith of the people of West Bengal towards the BJP. People are seeing the exceptional work of the West Bengal Government across sectors and thus have decided to further bless us.
My compliments to all BJP Karyakartas across West Bengal for their outstanding work. We will keep working for West Bengal’s progress in the times to come.

8:20 PM — No reply from @abhijeet_dipke.
I am no longer associated with Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) w.e.f. 8 PM, 21 May 2026.
CJP has potential and I wish them well, but I refuse to be part of a movement that is not genuinely independent.
Hope the young energy isn’t led down the same fraudulent path as IAC. No Pied Piper moment please.
Independence is non-negotiable.
Happy to receive the US Secretary of State, Mr. Marco Rubio.

Fir bolte hai votes kyun nahi mil raha, Modi ne vote chori kar liya😂
Too predictable. BTW, Arpit Sharma’s father is Vikas Sharma, AAP’s Bulandshahr Assembly candidate in 2022. Arpit’s father lost his deposit, and since then, Arpit lost his mental balance.
Dhruv Rathee wants to change the government in India from Germany.
Abhijeet Dipke wants to change the government in india from USA.
Arpit Sharma wants to change the government in India from Ireland.
Nimmo Yadav wants to change the government in India from Pakistan.
They don't live in india and want protest like nepal from Gen Z in india. 🤡
Il rapporto tra India e Italia ha ormai raggiunto una fase decisiva. Negli ultimi anni, i nostri legami si sono ampliati con uno slancio senza precedenti, evolvendo da una cordiale amicizia a un partenariato strategico speciale fondato sui valori di libertà e democrazia, nonché su una visione comune del futuro.
