@ThatsAarthi Each & every Railway Station in Bharat has names written in 3 languages: At the centre is their local language , English & Hindi. That means Hindi as a language has significant importance throughout the nation so it is right of @Ashiwani_kr to question this.
1-7 July was a week I'll remember for a long time.
By profession.. I'm an Advocate who specialises in Real Estate.
Weather has always been my passion. But this week both worlds peaked at the same time.
Friday & Saturday were brutal. I had slept for just 50 minutes in an entire 24 hour period, didn't get one full hour. The rest was office work, deal closures, radar monitoring, media calls, forecasts and nonstop updates to family, clients, relatives, friends & on Twitter. Tried catching up on 4-5 hours of sleep the next day after barely sleeping the previous night. Woke up to missed calls and instantly wished I'd been awake to track the situation.
Alarms at 1:30 AM, 3:30 AM and 5:30 AM became routine. I woke up on purpose because it's July anything can happen to Mumbai overnight. There was no schedule. Only responsibility.
Many people see the forecasts. Very few see what happens behind them.
Every monsoon teaches something. This one taught me how much responsibility comes with people's trust.
I don't forecast because it's my profession. I do it because when Mumbai comes to a standstill, someone has to stay awake, track the weather and keep people informed throughout the night.
Back to being a lawyer every morning. Back to being a weatherman every night.
No complaints. Just responsibility.
Thank you to everyone who trusted the updates over the last week.
I’ve been waiting at Ahmedabad railway station since 3 PM.
The train hasn't been cancelled. The train hasn't started either.
It's 9 PM now.
No announcements. No clear updates. No ETA. I asked the TC, the staff, and everyone I could find. The answer is the same every time - “We don't know."
My journey is from Ahmedabad to Mumbai, and I have an international flight to catch. Ironically, I was supposed to be reaching Mumbai around this time. Instead, I'm still standing where I started, while flights are getting cancelled one after another.
I completely understand that Mumbai's rains are beyond anyone's control and safety should always come first. But keeping thousands of passengers in complete uncertainty for hours isn't.
Sometimes, the hardest part isn't the delay
it's not knowing whether to wait, leave, reschedule or simply give up.
They say rains are romantic. They are until your entire travel plan, months of planning, connecting flights, hotel bookings and peace of mind are washed away with them.
Today's lesson: Nature is unpredictable. Communication shouldn't be.
Happy Birthday, Ranveer Singh. ❤️
Some films stay with you forever. Dhurandhar will always be one of those films for me. Not just because of the story we told but because I got to witness something very few directors ever get to witness.
I’ve always known you’re an extraordinary actor. But this journey made me fall in love with the artist you are and even more with the human being behind the artist.
There were days on Dhurandhar that I knew I was witnessing something incredibly rare.
The 26/11 sequence. The final tea shop scene. The Pathankot massacre. The pump house scene. The court exterior. Just to name a few. Take after take, scene after scene, you never once looked for the easy choice. Every emotion landed exactly where it needed to. Every silence had meaning. Every glance had intent. Every beat was pitch perfect.
The consistency was almost impossible to comprehend. It genuinely felt like watching someone touched by divine grace. As though Maa Saraswati herself had placed her hand on your head and blessed you with every ounce of artistic brilliance she could.
As a director, there are moments you spend your entire career hoping to experience. You gave me those moments again and again.
I truly believe what you’ve done in Dhurandhar is one of the finest performances Indian cinema has ever seen. It isn’t just a performance, it is a force of nature. Fearless, towering and so complete that it disappears into the soul of the character.
I have no doubt people will talk about this performance for years, perhaps generations to come.
But what I’ll cherish even more is everything that happened between “Action” and “Cut.” The conversations. The shared conviction. The relentless pursuit of getting every single moment right.
Somewhere along the way, you stopped being just my actor.
You became my brother.
Thank you for trusting me with your heart, your craft and your madness. Thank you for giving Dhurandhar every piece of yourself.
I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve created together.
Love you always.
Happy Birthday, brother. ❤️
England’s revived old jersey , senior pros back in the side & that iconic music from the stands (whenever an opposition wicket falls) .. oh I wasn’t expecting this surely!
Nice to watch this
