My taxi driver tonight, Gurvinder Singh, was at the World Trade Center on the morning of 9/11.
For the next 40 days, he gave hundreds of rides to any New Yorker who needed, and refused all payment.
He showed me the letter he got from Mayor Giuliani thanking him for his service to our city.
Gurvinder emigrated from India 35 years ago and encourages all his riders to fly American flags.
He asked that I share this message on the eve of 9/11: "love all people, respect all people. God bless you all and god bless America!" 🇺🇸
In the beginning of the book, I share how - inspired by Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen - I harboured secret dreams (like many teenage girls) of becoming Miss World or Miss Universe. 👑📘
But then I had medicine and science waiting for me.🧪🩺
Today I am signing several dozens of copies of The Real Deal for a program that supports young people, particularly first-generation college students, in STEM. They shipped the books to me to personalise them. The books are part of a felicitation ceremony.
To be a part of the story of young people is beyond 'a dream moment'. You can dream of tiaras and gowns but this is the stuff of a lifetime.
So, I spontaneously and joyfully created THIS Miss World moment! 🫣😍

History has been written today.
On 10 June 2026, Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji completes 4,399 consecutive days in office, surpassing the 4,398 days of India's first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru ji, to become the longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister in the history of our Republic.
Pause for a moment and reflect on what this truly means.
India is not a nation in the ordinary sense. It is a civilisation of 1.4 billion souls. A land of 22 scheduled languages and hundreds of dialects; of many faiths, castes, communities and creeds; of countless regions and walks of life, living side by side. We are the world's largest democracy, with an electorate of nearly 98 crore, more than the people living in all of Europe. This makes ours perhaps the most complex electoral exercise across the globe.
And yet, out of these 1.4 billion people, the same leader has been entrusted with the nation: again, and again, and again. 2014. 2019. 2024. Three successive mandates from the people of India, each one a renewed act of faith.
To win the trust of so vast and diverse a nation even once is remarkable. To win it three times over, without a break, is extraordinary.
Consider, too, how different the two eras are. Pandit Nehru ji earned his mandate in the formative decades of the Republic, an age of one-party dominance in which the Congress towered over a young and fragmented opposition. Narendra Modi ji has earned his in a far more demanding democracy: the age of coalitions, of powerful regional forces and fierce multi-party competition. And he has met that challenge in full: winning absolute majorities in his own right in 2014 and 2019 (the first single-party majorities since 1984), and then forging and leading a victorious coalition in 2024. To command the trust of so fiercely contested a nation, mandate after mandate, is by any measure the harder achievement.
On this historic occasion, I bow to the wisdom of the Indian voter and salute the Hon'ble Prime Minister's tireless devotion to the nation.
May he be blessed with robust health and a long life, and may the people of Bharat grant him many more mandates in the service of our motherland.
