failures in life are inevitable, solutions for same are unlimited, it is upto us to use our energy in finding solutions or waste it on remorsing the situations

I had, of course, seen and cheered Sharmila Dhankar’s Gold Medal performance at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

I saw it as yet another example of the extraordinary sporting talent emerging from Haryana.

And then I recently came across the story of her life, narrated by Manvendraa Chauhan.

To say I was moved would be a gross understatement.

Shaken is more like it.

Manvendraa says her life would make a great sports film.

Absolutely.

Because what struck me is that no scriptwriter, however gifted, could have imagined a fictional sporting saga more compelling than the one Sharmila has actually lived. Or invented hardships greater than those people endure, and the extraordinary courage with which they overcome them.

Sometimes, reality doesn’t just rival fiction. It surpasses it.

And there’s another powerful lesson in her story.

How the right life partner can help you discover strengths you never knew you possessed, and a destiny you never imagined.

I may be late in discovering the story behind that Gold Medal. But I won’t forget it in a hurry.

Sharmila and her remarkable husband Ajit are, together, my #MondayMotivation.

I guess they thought ‘M&M’ should mean ‘Mutual Mileage’ 🙂

A new analysis by the Association for Democratic Reforms and National Election Watch found that 111 sitting MPs and MLAs changed parties after being elected during this period. This includes 26 Lok Sabha MPs, 7 Rajya Sabha members and 78 MLAs.

Who is finally responsible for this political culture?

The politician who changes parties?

The political party that welcomes him?

Or us, the voters, who repeatedly accept the same behaviour and elect these politicians again.

Perhaps democracy is not only about choosing who gets our vote. It is also about deciding what behaviour we will no longer reward with our vote.

Because politicians may change parties.

But the power to change the politician still belongs to us

Amazon has canceled its planned #Stargate series.

So here’s a thought for @Netflix, @AppleTV, @ParamountPlus, @HBO and anyone else listening:

Buy Stargate.

This incredible universe deserves a studio that actually wants to build its future.

#SaveStargate

Mama,

I last saw you and Papa together more than 35 years ago. Since the day Papa left, I have watched you face everything life threw at you with never-ending courage and dignity. Only Priyanka and I really know what you have been through, and how difficult your life after Papa truly was.

I am happy, and so proud, that your story - “Belonging: A Journey of Love” - will finally be read by the millions of people who love you. I know how hard it was for someone as private as you to tell the world your beautiful story.

Today, on his birthday, I can see Papa smiling and looking down proudly at his beautiful Sonia.

Love,
Rahul

VERY IMPORTANT:

Delhi Police has admitted in the SC that facial recognition technology was deployed during the Jantar Mantar protests.

Now for facial recognition to make a “match”, there needs to be an underlying database of photos+details of citizens. So where did Delhi Police get that database from?

In response to an RTI of mine in 2020, the Election Commission admitted that it had shared the entire voter list WITH PHOTOS with Delhi Police during the Delhi riots investigation.

Interestingly, ECI’s own rules PROHIBIT sharing of photo electoral roll with ANY agency. And yet, the ECI broke its own rules in 2020 & handed over the data to Delhi Police.

Therefore:

👉 Did ECI supply voter lists with photos to Delhi Police for their facial recognition database during Jantar Mantar protests?

👉 What other agencies (Aadhaar, IT Dept, Transport Dept etc) have shared their database with Delhi Police to be used for facial recognition?

👉 If no agency has provided any data, how is Delhi Police managing to conduct facial recognition on EVERYONE (not just those with a criminal record) during protests?

There’s a reason that the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act has NOT yet been fully notified despite being passed by Parliament in Aug 2023 (THREE YEARS AGO).

It’s 2 simple questions really:

👉 Will the Delhi Police disclose what database it is using for facial recognition?

👉 Will ECI & other bodies confirm whether they’re still providing photo databases to Delhi Police?

If you don’t raise your voice against the takeover of the Neville D’Souza football ground in Bandra; you are part of the problem

Remember all the elected representatives in that area and how they let you down. And this isn’t just a local Bandra issue; it’s a sickening city-wide/national malaise

If people like this were in power in NYC, there would be no Central Park

@anandmahindra Dear @anandmahindra me & @Drift_N_Drive have been praying for years to see @MahindraRacing make its debut in @F1 bring the same #innovation & #ingenuity that it brought to @FIAFormulaE to @F1 when it debuts #congratulations @MahindraRacing

[anand mahindra @anandmahindra]

The pictures below tell the story, in sequence, of yesterday’s final Formula E race in London…

A triumphant way to sign off in style.

But the pictures don’t tell the emotional story of the journey: from the depths of disappointment to rising to 3rd in the Championship.

From heartbreak to celebration.

Through all the trials, the tears & the tough calls along the way.

I salute Fred Bertrand, our CEO, our indomitable drivers, Nyck & Edo, & the entire Mahindra Racing team who made this odyssey possible.

Thanks to them, we go into the next season with renewed enthusiasm & confidence…

The race has only just begun.

This is Mumbai international airport.

Like it’s not shameful enough to keep a refill instead of a pen for foreign travellers to fill their forms, they have even tightly secured that ugly refill with a rope so that no one steals it. 🤣

This has got nothing to do with policies, budget or even rules. This is downright low level of self-esteem being displayed by the workers at the Airport, disrespecting India in the process.

With low checks and balances, workers and staff can cut corners without realising the international shame that it brings for the country.

This is one of the 1st impressions being given to people flying into India. It’s a small thing that is easy to fix as an incident but, does a lot of harm to India’s image in today’s socially connected world.

Shameful!

Dear team at @KotakBankLtd in the past i have had worst experience with your bank when you kotak #creditcard was stolen, action of your customer care team lead to my complete bank account being frozen, due to which I still facing repercussions of affected bad loan & cibil today

A 10-gram cooler just broke a monopoly the US, France & Israel guarded for decades.

With only a small Mumbai team, a DRDO fund willing to bet early, & 5 years of someone refusing to look away from a hard problem.

That’s the real lesson in deeptech: it doesn’t only need deep pockets; it needs capital with Purpose & Patience.

India’s defence future will be built on both, big sovereign bets on scale, & small sharp bets like this one that the TDF made on ingenuity.

We need a lot more of the second kind.

Family Offices can play a significant role. I’m personally looking at such initiatives.

[Tukaram Mundhe @Tukaram_IndIAS]

Maharashtra shows the Way

Food safety is ultimately about people, not files, inspections or statistics.

Every safe meal is a family protected. Every action against unsafe food is a step towards protecting someone’s health, dignity and future.

Maharashtra’s experience reminds us that governance earns people’s trust when purpose is clear, action is fair, and compassion remains at the heart of enforcement.

Public service is, at its core, about standing with people; especially when they need the system most.
