785 husbands were killed by wives over 5 years but 800 wives are killed by husbands every 30 days.

We’re in final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It’s now consuming public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.

We were fortunate to have him as the Prime Minister in an era when technology was about to change our lives. A remarkable person, so unlike typical Indian politicians

[vir sanghvi @virsanghvi]

Remembering Rajiv Gandhi on the anniversary of his tragic death.
He was one of the warmest, most decent human beings to become Prime Minister of India. With him, what you saw was what you got; there was no deviousness, no subterfuge & certainly, no megalomania.
When he made mistakes he admitted it. When he felt he had been unfair to people he apologised. And despite growing up in a political family he never let the cynicism that characterises Indian politics get to him.
We often forget that he may have been the first Indian PM to have ever held a regular job, to have paid income tax and PF. This gave him an understanding of how salaried people in India lived & how the system was tilted against them. During his time taxes were lowered,the stock
market boomed and India prepared for the digital age.
He went too soon. If he had lived he would have returned to power sooner rather than later. By the time he died, he had learned from the early mistakes that his inexperience led him to make & was ideally placed to lead India into the 21 st Century and to forge a society
that had no room for divisiveness & hatred. As even his critics will concede, he was at heart a unifier, signing accords in Punjab, Assam & Mizoram, ending conflicts and building a better India.

54-year-old Atal Jaiswal & his 6 friends built a fake “imported food” business in India.

They imported expired or near-expiry products from America & Dubai:

• Oreo biscuits
• Coca-Cola bottles
• Foreign chocolates

Then they set up a factory in Delhi
where:

• Expiry dates were removed using chemicals
• New barcodes & MRP stickers were printed
• Products were repacked as “premium imported goods”

And sold online on platforms like Amazon.

TOTAL EARNING = ₹6-10 Crore

Business was booming…

Until Crime Branch raided the factory.

What they found
• 6,000 KG chocolates & biscuits
• 14,000 litres cold drinks
• Thousands of kilos of sauces, mayonnaise & milk powder

Cheap expired food.
Sold as luxury imports.
Agencies Sleeping 🤐

@bsesdelhi @SDMC_Official I called the customer care number, who did not have the location for SDM Office, Old Gargi College Building, Lajpat Nagar IV! So complaint not registered! What a joke

[Ritu Mathur @RituMathur4]

Waiting in the South Delhi SDM office in Kalkaji for a certificate. Guess what. There is no electricity - none of the computers working. So many people just waiting. Many would have taken leave. Imagine this is one of the poshest areas in Delhi. @bsesdelhi @SDMC_Official

@IPL In the gully cricket of 70s in our locality, there used to be something called 'baby over' - which was a 3 ball over to accomodate kids who wanted to bat but were really just beginners. Today's entire batting line up felt like that

[Caroline @carolinekwan]

once again begging the media to use the term “child sex abuse material (CSAM)” and not “child pornography”

there is no such thing as “child pornography” and the use of that language trivializes the sexual abuse and exploitation of children

The speed at which a virus spreads depends on:

1. How dense the population is

2. How dense the population is

There is far more politics than governance in India right now.

Sadly, so many Indians are relishing the political boxing, as if they are members of a fight club, not voting citizens of a democracy.

The colonization of India ('hostile takeover') flipped the chart totally

400 years of data in one animation: global power never stands still. From Asian dominance to Western industrial rise and now China’s surge, the centre of gravity keeps shifting. Today’s turmoil feels new, but history says it’s the norm. Source: https://t.co/RReN9xD1tH

@Vtxt21 Strangely, flights operating from Hindon are also reduced. Don't understand why

[Frontalforce 🇮🇳 @FrontalForce]

This is happening in Capital of India, Delhi 😡

Goons driving on wrong side of road abused & threatened the guy who was following all the rules & driving on his side

Strict action must be taken against these goons, car number also visible in video

I am no stranger to criticism and have learnt, over time, to absorb it without losing focus. That is part of public life.
What is harder to accept is the steady erosion of civility in our discourse. Disagreement is essential; derision and vituperative, personal slander is not.
A confident society does not fear dialogue—it conducts it with balance, clarity, and respect. As for me, I follow the teaching of Sri Ramakrishna and his advice: “forbear, forbear, forbear.” That has guided me through my life’s journey.
