Growing up I used to stay at my cousins place who lived infront the I8/4 markaz. We had tehzeeb, a sheesha spot, a gaming zone, a sticker shop

The afghani roll from I8/3 markaz is legendary

Opened X after months and the first tweet hits me in the feels

Congratulations to our @BlueJays on an incredible, hard-fought World Series.

It may not have been the result we hoped for, but you’ve made our country proud.

You sensed that you would be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you

In the constant dilemma whether to reach out and create a ripple, or let it be

The Indian military does not want to escalate. Their defense chiefs told the political leadership explicitly that they cannot guarantee an air op in Pakistan without facing serious risks. That led Modi to distance himself from the action until the results become clear. Well, the results came out and the result was the first Rafale kill in combat without even entering Pakistani territory. Panic ensued. It was then decided that the political leadership needs to be seen back in control as they order escalation in the form of drone swarms and projectile launches. The large scale Pakistani response that followed further made it clear that Pakistan isn't going to back down.

What did India achieve? It achieved to learn yet another lesson in the realities of warfare. When you go into the battlefield, all the war plans go out the window. And it's always foolish to overestimate yourself and underestimate your enemy.

The Indian military is actually a peacenik in this case. They don't want a war. They know the realities on the ground. But certain political lobbies want other things.

Those funeral photos from Pakistan? That's the Pakistani military sending a direct message to India. The message is: we remain undeterred and our policies remain unchanged even after your operation.

India would be wise to understand that the best resolution here is close door direct talks. Because whatever India has been trying so far isn't working.
