You might see me criticising him, the government, or a policy tomorrow
But today, when some of the safest and most prosperous places in the world are being bombed, we can pause and acknowledge that
India is stable
India is safe
India is in fact growing
Navigating 1.4 billion people through a volatile world run by unpredictable mad men without dragging ourselves into chaos is a momentous task
Critique when needed,
Credit when due
And today, a moment to say thank you 🙏
I dated a woman for three years. She had a 2-year-old son, Leo, from a previous relationship. The dad was out of the picture.
We broke up because she wanted to 'party' and I wanted to settle down.
One night, she dropped Leo off at my house at 11 PM. She said, 'I can't do this anymore. You take him. You’re better at it.' And she drove off.
I have zero biological relation to this kid. The courts told me I had no rights. But I fought. I got guardianship because she abandoned him.
I’ve been a single dad to another man's kid for 10 years. I’ve taught him to shave, to drive, and to treat women with respect—ironically, the respect his mom never showed us.
She surfaced recently because Leo is a star athlete and made the local paper. She wants front-row tickets to the game.
Leo told the coach, 'If she shows up, don't let her in. My dad is the guy in the stands wearing my jersey.'
Biology makes you a relative. Loyalty makes you a parent.
Inspired by Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji's towering vision of restoring 2.6 crore Hectares of country's degraded land by 2030, we took a baby step in Delhi on 28th May, 2022, right after I took over as Lt Governor.
On a visit to a heavily degraded and polluted stretch along the Yamuna, opposite Sarai Kale Khan on the Ring Road, Baansera- abode of bamboos, was conceived. What followed was not only restoration, but reclamation & transformation, within a short span of 18 months, thanks to the painstaking efforts of Delhi Development Authority @official_dda , which is the custodian of the Yamuna floodplains in Delhi.
Today, with about 30,000 bamboo trees that stand more than 30 feet tall, amidst other indigenous trees and rolling landscape of green grass, flowers & water bodies, Baansera has emerged as a unique new recreational destination & an ecological wonder in Delhi.
This baby step was a leap of faith towards enriching Delhi's flora diversity. Baansera became fertile ground for the famed Lakadong Turmeric from Meghalaya, as also blooming Tulips.
Once a stinking stretch of land buried under lakhs of tonnes of garbage, construction & demolition waste and heavy encroachment, Baansera today is an oasis that houses bamboo plants emitting 30% more Oxygen compared to other trees & restoring the degraded soil.
Newly created water bodies, rolling grass lawns and recreational facilities like a restaurant, musical fountain, walking trails and children’s play area, today welcome visitors at Baansera.
The park is now hosting social, cultural events like Kite Festival, Yoga events and even musical evenings.
Baansera epitomizes the remarkable healing of Yamuna floodplain with improved soil health & a richer landscape, reaffirming our belief that ecosystems can be revived through gentle natural processes.
I appeal to all fellow Delhi residents to visit the Baansera park.

Was in operations and it was 7th or 8th day, out in jungle, no bath, no rest.
My wife was expecting and date of delivery was 01 October, It was 21st September, leave was applied and already approved by the commanding officer. I was preserving the phone battery only to give an all okay phone call home once in couple of days.
I called up my mother only to discover that delivery was a bit premature and I was blessed with a baby boy on 21st itself.
I told my mother that I’ll speak to my CO and get back home, her reply was
“Why should you come, whatever was to be done has been done by gynaecologists, nation needs you, do what you are meant to do”
“Tu ki karna hoon aa ke, jo karna si doctraan ne kar ta”
Apna kamm kar, desh nu teri lorh aa

Pakistan really thinks it can defeat us ?
Just like “PM Cares Fund”, Govt should start a “S-400 Procure Fund” where people can donate money and the entire amount goes in procuring more S-400 missiles.
I will pay every month. 😊

Pakistani media is circulating a photo claiming that the Pakistan Air Force shot down 2 Indian aircraft. This is fake news.
Fact: This is 1-year-old photo of an IAF MiG fighter jet crash in Rajasthan in 2024.
Share this fact widely. Do not fall for Pakistan's psychological warfare (Psyops).

Average Indian men are "men" who take responsibility of their family, by family I mean parents, brothers, sister, relatives and even friends not just their wife and kids with no support & low to average income.
Because of that, they are mostly selfless and put themselves last.1/3
The helplessness he must have felt in the face of such evil is unimaginable
Had to take his own life to ignite a fire that would burn across the entire nation demanding change
If only he had known the overwhelming support he would receive 💔
