Spoke with my brother, H.H. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of Qatar. We stand firmly in solidarity with Qatar and strongly condemn any violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. We emphasized the urgent need to restore peace and stability in the region through dialogue and diplomacy. I also conveyed my appreciation for his continued support and care for the Indian community in Qatar during this challenging time.

अब तक यूजीसी मुद्दे पर चुप थे।
पहली बार बोले, और बोले भी तो आम लोगों की पहल पर सुप्रीम कोर्ट द्वारा लगाए गए स्टे का श्रेय अपनी सरकार को देने के लिए। एक अन्य ट्वीट में तो प्रधानमंत्री और गृहमंत्री को टैग करके धन्यवाद तक दे दिया है।
जल्दबाज़ी में अपनी ही सरकार द्वारा लाए गए नियमों को सनातन को बाँटने वाला बोल गए। सनातन को बांटने वाला था तो लाए क्यों? और लाए तो आप अब तक मुंह में दही जमाकर क्यों बैठे थे?
डाँट पड़ी होगी, इसलिए ट्वीट डिलीट कर गए।
Makar Sankranti for the next 69 years will fall on 15th January, not 14th.
It is simply a function of precession of equinoxes.
Also, it is important to understand that Ayana is understood from the tropical position of the Sun, not Sidereal.
So, Sankranti is no longer co-terminus with Uttarayan. The reason is the same - precession.
Believe it or not- Everything you see in this frame is falling. 😅
When I first reached the International Space Station, I had this strange hesitation: if I let go of something, won’t it just fall? On Earth, that’s exactly what happens. In space, though, my early instinct was to politely hand over items to crew-mates (one of them is quietly smirking in the background at my dismal lens changing skills 😅) instead of just releasing them. The funny part? They were just as cautious at first—so we ended up passing things around like an overly careful game of “hot potato.”
Here’s the catch: nothing actually falls away in orbit. As you see in this video if I let go of the lens, it doesn’t drop—it hovers. Why? Because both the lens and I are falling at the same speed around Earth. No relative falling = no “down.”
This idea goes all the way back to Isaac Newton’s legendary thought experiment: imagine standing on a tall mountain and throwing a ball. Toss it gently—it arcs down nearby. Throw harder—it travels farther before dropping. Throw it so fast that as it falls, Earth’s surface curves away beneath it? The rate of drop matches the curvature of the Earth. Congratulations—you’ve just put that ball in orbit. It’s falling forever, but it never hits the ground.
That’s what orbit really is: perpetual free fall. Astronauts don’t feel weightless because gravity has disappeared—gravity up here is still about 90% as strong as at Earth’s surface. We feel weightless because we and everything around us are constantly falling together.
Floating in space is really just falling—forever. 🌍✨

दक्षिणे लक्ष्मणो यस्य वामे तु जनकात्मजा।
पुरतो मारुतिर्यस्य तं वन्दे रघुनन्दनम्॥
जिसके दाहिने लक्ष्मण हैं, बाएँ जनकनंदिनी सीता हैं, और जिसके सम्मुख पवनपुत्र हनुमान हैं, मैं उन रघुकुलनंदन श्रीराम को नमस्कार करता हूँ।
On whose right stands Lakshmana, on whose left Sita ji, and in front of whom stands Hanuman ji, I bow to that scion of the Raghu dynasty - Shri Rama.
I think i speak for millions of Indians about being "Irritated & now Bored by.. Both Sideism of Western Media (with some exceptions) on Jihadist Terrorism Nurtured & Grown by the Pakistan Army" - One more clip from my viral face off with Hina Rabbani Khar on @piersmorgan -
UN designated Jaish-e-Muhammad’s Chief Terrorist Masood Azhar to get Rs. 14 crore relief assistance from Pakistan Government since 14 members of his family have been killed in Indian Air Strikes. #OperationSindoor
