#WATCH | Delhi: CJI DY Chandrachud says, "I have been associated with AYUSH since covid broke. I had a really bad attack with covid and the Prime Minister called me up and said, 'I believe that you are down with Covid and I hope everything is fine. I realize that you are not in good shape but we'll do everything. There is a Vaidya who is also a secretary at AYUSH and I'll arrange a call with him who'll send you medicine and all.' I took medicine from AYUSH when I was down with Covid. The 2nd & 3rd times when I had Covid, I didn't take any allopathic medicine at all... All judges, their families and more than 2000 staff members of the Supreme Court, I am very concerned about them as they don't get the facilities that judges have. I want them to have a holistic pattern of life... I would like to thank the minister Sarbananda Sonowal..."

Congratulations to all of us, as citizens of India, on this verdict on electoral bonds.

Remember that our govt fought against transparency and accountability here.

Every six or seven years our SC does something to give hope. Wish they did it more often.

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

@UnionBankTweets how can you claim you offer e-SBTR facilities when you throw your hands up and say you don't have stamp paper at your Turner Road Bandra W, Mumbai branch? Very poor service.

The magnificent Statesman House in Connaught Place, designed by Herbert Baker and Edward Lutyens. The central open-air atrium is supposed to have drawn directly from the Roman Colosseum. A thing of absolute beauty.

Soros is one of the most abused people on social media & was recently trolled on Twitter for his comments on Modi/Indian democracy.

We studied the Twitter response, which is enlightening on collective political tweeting and Indians’ position on Global right-leaning movements

Went down a rabbit hole for cross-industry innovations (when one industry borrows from another).

Here are 8 gems.

It's story time aka PSA for women, especially in the south Delhi area. It's a bit long but stay with me.

It's 2007, I'm 23 years old and I've just joined the paper, but my first salary cannot be handed to me because of a bank issue that needs a week or more to get sorted out.
