@narendramodi I get it when you don't want to talk CJP. But what was stopping you from talking to students directly? Imagine you had to use the Air Force 2 send questn papers. What good is your civil administration? Your guarantee is as good as a poor man's wish- hard to be true

[Harsh Goenka @hvgoenka]

Rather long but I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did:

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I lack civic sense.

They can burn streets,
and vandalize a city after a championship game.
I dance at an airport excited about my first foreign trip, and suddenly I am the face of poor civic sense.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I steal jobs.

They move factories across oceans,
shift profits through tax havens.
I study, compete, earn a visa, work 18 hours a day, sometimes multiple jobs and somehow I am the one stealing jobs and scamming the system.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am everywhere.

I build your software,
treat your illness,
teach your children,
drive your taxis,
and open your stores.
The world became a village,
yet my presence remains a problem.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am too loud.

The evening news screams outrage.
The internet echoes with anger day and night.
I celebrate a wedding, a festival, a victory,
and I am told my joy is too loud.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I smell of curry.

The world smells of gunpowder,
of hatred,
of division,
of endless arguments about race and religion.
I carry the fragrance of spices from my grandmother's kitchen,
and somehow that is what offends.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I have no culture.

I come from a civilization that counted the stars
when much of the world was still learning maps.
I speak languages older than nations.
I celebrate hundreds of traditions,
yet I am told I have no culture.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am backward.

I send missions to the Moon.
I build vaccines for millions.
I run companies across continents.
Yet a viral video of one fool becomes evidence against a billion people.

I am an Indian.

I celebrate my favorite actor's success
with flowers, music, and a few glasses of milk.

Others worship influencers who sell outrage, turn every disagreement into a battlefield, and every opinion into a war.
Yet my celebration is the one that makes headlines.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I gather in crowds.

We walk together in processions,
celebrating our faith, our culture, our traditions.

Everyone is welcome.
No shops are looted.
No neighborhoods are burned.
No one is threatened for thinking differently.

We sing.
We dance.
We pray.
And somehow our gathering becomes the problem.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I bring my culture everywhere.

I light a lamp in a foreign land.
I wear a saree in the snow.
I teach my children the language of their grandparents.

Others build walls between neighbors,
argue endlessly over identity,
and forget where they came from.
Yet I am told I should leave my culture behind.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I live in the past.

But my past gave me yoga,
mathematics, philosophy, meditation,
and the idea that the world is one family.

The future keeps borrowing from my past,
while telling me to be embarrassed by it.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I should be ashamed.

Ashamed of my accent.
Ashamed of my food.
Ashamed of my festivals.
Ashamed of my traditions.
Ashamed of existing.

But I am not ashamed.

I am the child of farmers and philosophers,
scientists and saints, workers and dreamers.

*I come from a land that taught the world
that truth can be many-sided,
that all paths deserve respect,
and that the entire world is one family.*

*Yes, we have flaws. Every nation does.*

*But judge me by my actions, not by your stereotypes.*

For I am an Indian.

*And before you tell me what is wrong with me, look honestly at what you have normalized in yourself.*

For I am an Indian.

The world may mock my accent,
question my customs,
laugh at my celebrations,
and judge me through a thousand stereotypes.

*Yet I stand tall. For I belong to a civilization older than empires, a culture richer than prejudice, and a people whose spirit refuses to bend.*

For I am an Indian.

@GoZwift Anyone else’s workload taking a detour instead of uploading today? 😅 My legs are telling me I crushed that ride, but apparently Zwift missed the memo! If your stats are lost in the digital void too, let’s commiserate and keep the vibes high. This is for nth time.

[Puneet Batra @PuneetBatra1979]

@RahulGandhi I never agreed with you but this time I support you on tax extortion. I want to know how will you change in state and central. As an SME how can you stop authorities from harassing us at GST/municipal/PF/IT etc treat us with respect rather than as a petty criminal? @narendramodi

[Puneet Batra @PuneetBatra1979]

@vibhor_chhabra 🤣

[Puneet Batra @PuneetBatra1979]

@cmohry @mlkhattar If for renewal of driving licence I have to contact you then there is seriously wrong in governance. RTS act says 7 working days. Today is day 24 application is pending. How do you expect us to vote for you when simple thing can’t be provided?

[James Clear @JamesClear]

You cannot remove struggle from life, but you can improve your ability to handle challenge.

[Puneet Batra @PuneetBatra1979]

40% CM is out. Perception is changing @narendramodi

[Puneet Batra @PuneetBatra1979]

@narendramodi Who would be more credible- Politician or Olympian medalists? We know it all. Really don’t understand why is GOI not acting. Don’t delay the inevitable doesn’t suit your image.

[vir sanghvi @virsanghvi]

Poor old ⁦⁦@RishiSunak⁩ . Has to run a country where the economy is in free fall, where the natives are unable to govern themselves, where they change leaders every month & where they have just buried their beloved Queen.
I guess it is the Brown Man’s Burden…

[Puneet Batra @PuneetBatra1979]

It happens only in India 🤣

[Puneet Batra @PuneetBatra1979]

@jay_kotakone @udaykotak One thing which is consistent since 2006, customer RM changes too frequently. By time I get used to one I get to know there is a new one. Any reason? Also why there are no more handshakes calls or emails? Gosh I realised I have been with you for 16 yrs

[Dr. A. Velumani.PhD. @velumania]

Disciplined are Happier.
Focused are Happiest.

#Focus

[Puneet Batra @PuneetBatra1979]

Very true, UPI is game changer as it is FOC and can be used as alternative for bank transfers. You don’t need Paytm or any other digital wallet. As UPI is synced in your bank app through BHIM or Bharat QR.

[Puneet Batra @PuneetBatra1979]

@svembu We have been using Books & CRM. Your products are easy to use for SMEs & are actually help us in bridging Digital divide between large/small businesses. A request pls make products for manufacturing sector this would phenomenally change things for Indian SMEs.

@DistrictAdm_FBD @DC_Faridabad @cmohry @sdm_ballabgarh @sdm_badkhal @sdm_faridabad @mlkhattar @COVIDNewsByMIB @MoHFW_INDIA @HMOIndia Request you to remove swimming pools from this list. District have only 2-3 all weather pools. Now they are closed. In winters there are hardly any swimmers. Closure of pools effects training of age athletes like myself who need more workouts than pro athletes for competition.

[Puneet Batra @PuneetBatra1979]

@StarbucksIndia Thanks for lovely surprise. You made it public. Now keep my age a secret🤫😉

[Subramanian Swamy @Swamy39]

To sell public enterprises when economy in a deep decline is a sign of mental bankruptcy and desperation. It cannot be a healthy ideological imperative. Modi government cannot deny that CSO data shows that GDP growth declined quarter by quarter, year by year from 2016 onwards.
