There's a lot of hate aimed at Indian Hindus in America right now, so seeing posts like this is a good reminder of reality. Plenty of patriotic Americans, like Joe Click here, genuinely respect the Hindu community in the US and appreciate how hard-working, peaceful, and positive Indian origin Hindus are. Always good to see people standing up for decent, law-abiding neighbours. 🇺🇸🇮🇳
Warmest wishes and greetings to all those celebrating Diwali in the UAE and around the world.
May this festival of lights bring you peace, hope, and goodness, and may your days be filled with safety, happiness, and prosperity. Happy Diwali!
@deepigoyal Have I made it into the first 10,000?
I'm not entirely sure how this works yet bt I'm genuinely excited to try it.I truly believe Indian tech is ready to lead on the global stage&this could be the cutting-edge innovation that proves it.

@deepigoyal I have a feeling this device and company are going to do extremely well. And apart from personal health tracking, I think it's also going to pave the way for enabling personal compute at the speed of thought. The current, crab-like, criticism is a leading indicator of this.
Just watched #Ramayana 🏹 So happy our greatest epic has finally been brought to cinema. Ignore the minor gripes (casting, deviations from Valmiki etc.) Watch it the way you'd watch LOTR, Baahubali or Troy. It's a wonderful cinematic experience.
Before you tell a woman to “be like Sita," read what Sita actually did.
When Rama asked her to remain in Ayodhya during his exile, she argued with him. He described the dangers of the forest. She insisted on accompanying him. She had a voice in deciding her own life.
In Lanka, held captive by Ravana, she placed a blade of grass between them and rejected him. His wealth could not persuade her. His power could not make her willing.
Then comes a moment we should speak about more.
After Ravana’s defeat, Hanuman offered to punish the women who had tormented her. Sita stopped him. She recognized that they had acted under their master’s orders and insisted on compassion.
She could confront power when she was its prisoner and restrain revenge when victory was hers.
Yet we so often reduce her to a woman who suffered quietly.
Tell your daughters the whole story. Tell your sons too. If Sita is your example, her courage, judgement, and right to speak must be part of the lesson.
If it would have Elon Musk , all Indian doctors would have been just got on his feet and said wah kya device banaya hai… We don’t need enemies to diminish ourselves.. Instead of supporting Indian entrepreneurship we are just attacking left right&center who is trying something.
Temple is not a medical device. So no clinical outcomes need to be validated. We are a fitness/wellness wearable - well outside the purview of doctors.
Peer reviews are a process; it will happen inevitably and soon.
Yes, we are also building Blinkit Ambulances with that money.

#Ramayana… the sheer scale of the film and the visuals on the big screen are spectacular to watch.
Ranbir as Rama, especially from the Vanavasam onwards, is serene yet magnificent. Yash brings a menacing presence as Ravana, while Sai Pallavi is graceful as Sita. The pre-climax and climax… loved every bit of it.
Congratulations @malhotra_namit, @niteshtiwari22 and the entire team on bringing such an ambitious vision so beautifully to the screen. 🙏
I understand disagreements over casting, actors, actresses and creative choices. Those conversations are natural. But what I cannot understand is the eagerness to ridicule an entire project before watching it, sometimes crossing the line into mocking our own scriptures.
People questioned Jatayu’s presence, his association with Dasharath ji and kept asking, “Yeh kab hua tha?” Many making these jokes hadn’t even bothered to understand Valmiki Ramayana. A written epic and a visual adaptation are two different storytelling mediums. Context sometimes has to be established visually.
Our Itihas deserves more than the half-hearted adaptations we have seen in the past, with compromised budgets, limited ambition and visuals that fail to communicate the grandeur of our glorious past. We need filmmakers willing to dream big, invest big and take these stories to the world. With an Oscar-winning VFX powerhouse like DNEG involved, this is a significant cinematic moment.
I understand that not every filmmaker will be familiar to us, and not every creative decision will immediately appeal to everyone. Sometimes, we have to allow people the space to surprise us.
From what I have seen and heard so far, the attempt has been to present the story with dignity and respect for our sentiments. And that matters.
A film like this doesn’t come along every day. It is a rare opportunity to see our civilisation’s greatest story envisioned on a global cinematic canvas.
Watch it in cinemas. Take your children along. This is an experience meant for the big screen, not just snippets watched on a phone. Let them see, understand and become curious about the stories that shaped our civilisation.
And while you are at it, pick up Valmiki Ramayana. Read it yourself, encourage your children to read it too. A cinematic experience can spark curiosity, but understanding our scriptures is a journey we must undertake ourselves.
We can have our criticisms, but let us not become so cynical that we forget to celebrate when someone actually attempts something this ambitious with our own stories.
I would rather see a hundred attempts to take our Itihas to the world than see it remain confined to conversations within our own homes.
Some stories deserve to be told. Some deserve to be retold. And some deserve to be seen on the biggest screen possible.
#Ramayana is one of them.
#RamayanaPart1#RamayanaReview must watch cinematic experience in theatres.Kudos to @malhotra_namit and @WorldOfRamayana for creating such a larger than epic.
Movie has its flaws bt have to accept the fact that it’s one of the best cinema produced in Bollywood so far.
Must watch
From the Afghan cricket team escaping the Taliban to play in Noida,
to the Tibetans who found a new Lhasa in Dharamshala,
to the Parsis who left Iran and thrived as one of India’s most accomplished communities,
to the Jewish people who found in India the one land where they were never persecuted
this is why India is a mother.
India is home. Here, everyone celebrates their own Diwali.🫶🏻🇮🇳
When someone commits a heinous crime, the first response should be empathy & an attempt to understand the larger problem. Not finding a convenient scapegoat in cinema.
It is becoming increasingly clear that your concern is not for the victims or their families, but that you're using a horrific tragedy as a dirty excuse to settle your personal scores.
This is especially directed at those failed frustrated jobless male/female actors, few directors, producers & parasites, who suddenly appoint themselves as social reformers whenever an opportunity arises to take a dig at someone else's work.
A tragedy deserves empathy 🙏, not opportunism. Learn the difference.
India saw about 496 million people lifted out of poverty between 2011 and 2023 in one of the world’s fastest declines in this metric, the World Bank said, although the gains remain uneven. https://t.co/4RD7JC4lG2
What does the next big leap in India's animal husbandry and dairy sector look like?
To know that, come to Banaskantha, Gujarat!
A 127-acre, Bovine Breeding and Research Centre is being launched tomorrow, 30th October.
It is a great example of how science and innovation are furthering the welfare of our farmers.
