[Balaji Thotadri @iam_balaji]

Lanka was made of gold. Ayodhya celebrated with clay lamps. Think about that this Diwali.

Ravana had everything the world admires. A city of gold. Ten heads, the epic's way of saying he knew more than anyone around him. Scholar. Musician. Devotee of Shiva.
He still lost. He didn't lose to a bigger army. He lost to a man in exile, walking barefoot, with an army of monkeys and bears. Brilliance without restraint destroys the one who owns it.

Now look at the other side. Rama lost his kingdom overnight. No argument. No bitterness. He walked into the forest on the very day he was meant to be crowned, and he walked out smiling. Most of us can't let go of a small disappointment that gracefully.

Bharata was handed the throne. He refused to sit on it. He placed Rama's sandals there and served Ayodhya for 14 years in his brother's name. Love that asks for nothing in return. Duty without ownership.

Hanuman could leap across an ocean. He didn't know it. Jambavan had to remind him. So many people around us are Hanuman before Jambavan spoke. Sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone is to tell them you can do this at the right moment.

The bridge to Lanka wasn't built in one heroic act. It was stone after stone. Monkeys, bears and, as the old story goes, a little squirrel rolling in sand to do its part. Rama stroked its back in gratitude. No effort is too small when the cause is right.
Here's the part we forget.

Ayodhya didn't light lamps when Ravana fell. It lit them when Rama came home.

Diwali isn't a victory celebration. It's a homecoming.

Fourteen years of forest, loss and war, and he returned with his heart intact. The same man who left. That is the real triumph. Everything else is Lanka.

So this Diwali, as the lamps glow .. Ask what you're chasing. Gold or light.

Ask who's been quietly carrying your sandals. Thank them. Ask who needs a Jambavan. Be one. Ask if you're still the person who left home.

Light the diya. Then live like one. Small. Steady. Burning for others.
Happy Diwali. 🪔

@TimesNow @rishabsmusic @navikakumar Rishab is a good instrumentalist with orchestra but people should understand classical music first before calling him an Indian Classical Musician. Classical music is not performed the way he is performing rather it's a Sadhna of an individual trying to connect with almighty.

Hats off to the person who made this.

He's hit the nail on Social Media's head and analysed the monster top to toe.

Traffic system has collapsed in #Lucknow . We have roundabouts but no one follows its rules, we have traffic lights but dysfunctional, we have CCTV but no one gets challans and administrators responsible hardly care for anything. Shameful @lkopolice @uptrafficpolice @dgpup

Investors have lost their savings in mutual funds and stock markets yet @narendramodi ji and @nsitharaman ji have not shown interest in doing something to get the FIIs back. This way people will lose faith in the government

[S.Jayashankar @jaypanicker]

Spare us the lecture on “regime change is normal in a democracy.”

You know exactly what the phrase means when Prashant Bhushan and AISA’s Neha Bora use it while invoking Bangladesh’s Gen Z street movement that toppled a government outside the electoral calendar. That is not “oppose, expose and depose through elections.” That is a deliberate attempt to normalise extra-constitutional pressure, street veto and manufactured unrest.

If it is only about elections, why the hurry? Why the Bangladesh template? Why frame protests against the Election Commission as a “fight for regime change”?In a real democracy, governments change when voters decide at the ballot box, not when a handful of activists and opposition leaders decide the system is “dictatorial” the moment they keep losing. You yourself have used the phrase in purely electoral contexts before. The difference is context, and this context reeks of anarchy-shopping.

The BJP is not “apoplectic with feigned rage.” We are simply refusing to pretend that “regime change” + Bangladesh reference = routine parliamentary opposition. India is not Bangladesh. Our institutions, our voters and our Constitution will decide the next government in 2029, not street theatrics dressed up as high principle.

Do your job in Parliament and on the campaign trail. Stop trying to import instability and then gaslight the country about dictionary definitions.

US bans Huawei. Calls it a national security threat. Nobody blinks.
China blocks Starlink. Builds its own. Nobody blinks.

India asks Starlink to finish its security clearances first. Suddenly it's a crime against the people of India.

Make it make sense.

Look at what this tech has already done.
Ukraine ran around 47,000 Starlink terminals. Drones, targeting, comms, everything. Then in 2022 one man refused to extend coverage near Crimea. Ukrainian sea drones lost signal mid-run and drifted in useless. The Pentagon had to start buying terminals directly because a private businessman held a veto over a war.

Iran. After the protests, Washington reportedly pushed thousands of terminals into the country. 100,000+ people stayed online after the state cut every normal connection. Tehran's answer was to make owning one a crime, with death on the table if it's tied to spying.

Manipur, December 2024. Army raids a militant cache. Next to the rifles: a Starlink dish.

Now tell me India is being paranoid.
The MHA studied Iran closely. The question was never "fast internet for villages." The question is: in a crisis, who holds the switch? An office in Texas? A White House mood swing?

SpaceX agreed to store Indian data locally and allow audits. Good. But India wants one more thing: a guarantee that nobody abroad can flip coverage on or off over Indian soil. That isn't protectionism. That's sovereignty.

And look at the timing.

Months of street pressure. A meme party turned into mass mobilisation. Now opposition MPs marching on Jantar Mantar demanding the CEC's head. A new crisis every week, each one amplified abroad within hours.
Some of the anger is real. NEET leaks were real. Kids paid for them. But real grievances are exactly what get hijacked.

The playbook is the same everywhere. Find the crack. Flood it with outrage. Pre-load the illegitimate state story. Then hand people a communication channel the state can't touch.

India is not Venezuela. India is not Iran.
1.4 billion people. Elections that actually throw governments out. An army that answers to Delhi, not a satellite constellation.

Fight the CEC in Parliament and the Supreme Court. Protest your exams on the street. That's democracy.

But the country's communication backbone doesn't get outsourced to a man who already showed he'll switch off a war when it suits him.
Starlink can come. On India's terms. The kill switch stays in Delhi.

India needs to declare emergency for internal security otherwise we will see the nation moving towards mobocracy

Congratulations India! Gold in Cricket but half of the team is useless and irresponsible. Need to replace them with better players @BCCI #AsianGames2026

[SHISHIR KAPOOR @KAPOORSHISHIR]

There is should be an enquiry into the daily frequency of power outage in Sector 6, Jankipuram Extn Lucknow. With the state having enough electricity supply why so many power cuts? Dear @MVVNLHQ make someone accountable

[SHISHIR KAPOOR @KAPOORSHISHIR]

It's easy to blame politicians but who teaches ways of doing corruption to a novice politician? People who will remain in chair irrespective of governments are the ones who should be blamed and made accountable and who knows this better than herself. Rest is same for every honest Indian

[SHISHIR KAPOOR @KAPOORSHISHIR]

@Natrajam1008 It's good but there is no such raga as Kanhada, it's a prakaar or group under which there are around 16 ragas.
This is Darbari and since it is a prakaar of Kanhada so, it's called Darbari Kanhada.
