Imagine @F1Movie earning 73 cr in India with the cinema halls still pretty decently full, it's a shame @F1 still does not consider India a serious market to telecast races on a TV channel.
#MonacoGP what a stupidity of a race so far!!!!
So many great tracks to race a formula 1 car, yet it comes back again year after year to this stupidity of a race track.
@GabbbarSingh The amount of US settlement dreams that Indian privileged parents have is shocking.
And I'm talking about parents seeking nursery admissions.
We as a bunch are getting stupider by the day.
@sanjeevsanyal The problem in our case is not the availability of affordable education, but the employability of graduates & postgraduates.
As an example- all our Bcom and Mcom programs still focus so much on manual accounts and the real world accountancy is done using ERPs.
@deepakshenoy Would be interesting to also know the quantum of tourism outward flows and other LRS remittance. Of course it would be nowhere close in comparison.
@sanjeevsanyal The ribbon cutting class need to come out of their standard government issued EV- and travel like commoners for a few days in cities to know why juntas BP is so high.
@sanjeevsanyal The problem with our way of building infrastructure is that we build big things reasonably well ( eg- metro) but severely lag on small things (eg- footpath, parking, bus stand).
It makes the overall usability of great shiny infrastructure quite poor.
@CNBCTV18News@nsitharaman This is great stuff. Hours worth of standup material can be written about it.
The economic value of it would far exceed any amount of caramel popcorn ever sold in the country , and the 18% GST on ticket sales means that it all comes back. Masterstroke!!!!
@UIDAI@ceo_uidai@UIDAIDelhi@GoI_MeitY Dear @PMOIndia@ceo_uidai@UIDAI. Can you please help regarding this. What needs to be done?
The aadhar is supposed to be enrolled in 30 days, which is long gone. Call centre has zero answers and they just mark complaints as resolved without even doing anything. Urgent help pls
@UIDAI Delhi schools need Aadhar as a mandatory document for child admission. We made an application more than a month back in the post office, yet no update on status - still says processing.
Call centre exec knows nothing at all. Please help
Vamos, @RafaelNadal!
As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.
Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground. You made me reimagine my game—even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge.
I’m not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals. Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique—it was so you.
And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more.
OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the #1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was—until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I’d been hearing about you—about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday—it wasn’t just hype.
We were both at the start of our journey and it’s one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you’ve had. Including 14 French Opens—historic! You made Spain proud... you made the whole tennis world proud.
I keep thinking about the memories we’ve shared. Promoting the sport together. Playing that match on half-grass, half-clay. Breaking the all-time attendance record by playing in front of more than 50,000 fans in Cape Town, South Africa. Always cracking each other up. Wearing each other out on the court and then, sometimes, almost literally having to hold each other up during trophy ceremonies.
I’m still grateful you invited me to Mallorca to help launch the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2016. Actually, I kind of invited myself. I knew you were too polite to insist on me being there, but I didn’t want to miss it. You have always been a role model for kids around the world, and Mirka and I are so glad that our children have all trained at your academies. They had a blast and learned so much—like thousands of other young players. Although I always worried my kids would come home playing tennis as lefties.
And then there was London—the Laver Cup in 2022. My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side—not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.
Rafa, I know you’re focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it’s done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next.
Rafa that!
Best always, your fan,
Roger
