[Nirupama Menon Rao 🇮🇳 @NMenonRao]

India does not have the luxury of “beds” in this region. We are not in a caravan serai.

We are tied to the Gulf for energy, diaspora, and capital. That is undeniable. But to reduce our long-term position to a binary, Arab side versus Iran, is a misalignment of both geography and strategy.

Iran is not peripheral to India. It sits at the hinge of our continental access, our connectivity ambitions, and our extended neighbourhood. We cannot wish it away because it is inconvenient in a crisis.

Strategic autonomy is not about choosing the side with the larger balance sheet. It is about refusing false choices altogether.

Yes, India must protect its citizens in the Gulf. Yes, it must secure energy flows.
But it must also preserve a working relationship with Iran, not as a sentimental gesture, but as a strategic necessity.

When India accepts that it must “back” one side in a complex regional conflict, it has already narrowed its own options.
We are not an adjunct to anyone’s camp.
We are a country with interests on all sides.

The real test is whether we can hold that position without drifting into the comfort of alignment presented as pragmatism.

[XL RECORDINGS @XLRECORDINGS]

The Prodigy’s ‘Firestarter’ turns 30 today 🖤

Released on XL Recordings in 1996, the track became one of the defining records of the decade. Its iconic video, directed by Walter Stern and filmed in a disused London Underground tunnel, remains one of the most recognisable visuals of the 90s.

The stark, black-and-white shoot wasn’t the first video made for the track. An earlier, higher-budget version had already been filmed but was ultimately scrapped, leading the band back to a stripped-back concept that placed Keith Flint front and centre and captured the performance that would come to define the record.

Firestarter went on to top the UK charts for three weeks and became a worldwide hit.

‘120 Minutes’ premiered on MTV 40 years ago today.

Airing Mondays from 1–3 a.m. EST, it was conceived as a showcase for new and experimental videos. After it moved to midnight and narrowed its focus to alternative, ‘120’ became essential viewing for fans of cutting-edge bands.

[Moog Synthesizers @moogmusicinc]

This month in 1964, R.A. Moog Co. introduced the first Moog modular synthesizer and celebrated just over 10 years in business, so Dr. Bob Moog created a new company logo to mark the turning point. This trademark is not only a reflection of a new philosophy, but a new way of creating and experimenting with sound.

From the early days of analog synthesis to today’s sonic explorations, this symbol continues to connect us through music, unity, and discovery. 🤍
