What a great start to 2022! ♥️
I am blessed & humbled beyond words to get the follow back of my Prime Minister @NarendraModi ji 🙏
Thank you for always inspiring me. 😇
Floods happen worldwide, but we're lucky ours come mixed with sewage. It has immense benefits.
First, it exposes you to a multitude of deadly germs. If you survive, your immunity becomes stronger and better prepared for the next sewage flood.
Second, by exposing you to foul smells and sights, it helps you develop a tolerance for filth. That way, when you travel to Western countries, you won't feel nauseous seeing the filth there.
Third, it is totally in line with the laws of nature and promotes the survival of the fittest. While everyone else is stranded, only those who can swim better, can swim in filth, or have cars with higher ground clearance can navigate through, giving them an evolutionary advantage.
Finally, it promotes class equality by making the roads and the drains indistinguishable.

रहिमन भारतवर्ष में, बाइक धीरे चलाईं।
ना जानै केहि रूप में, सरकारी गड्ढा मिलि जाई।।
Junagadh municipality dug up the road for civic work but failed to restore it properly, leaving a deep pothole. Came rain, pothole disappeared under water and dhappa! This biker suffered serious injuries. Four more accidents at the same spot the same day.
A calm nervous system changes the way you experience life. When you live from peace instead of urgency, everything carries a different energy. Your words become gentler. Your decisions become clearer. Your relationships become deeper. You stop rushing. You stop forcing. You stop needing to prove your worth. Instead, you move at a pace that feels true to you. You begin to trust that not everything has to happen today. You learn that things can wait... And everything you do becomes an honest expression of who you are. That's what peace gives you. A life that finally feels like your own.
"When you label a product 'Made in India', you are representing a country." 🇮🇳
At our Business Plenary Session in London, I had the pleasure of hearing from Mr. Aqeel Panaruna from Ambur, Tamil Nadu. As the founder of Florence Shoe Company, he shared an incredible story of how an international customer spotted a luxury Hugo Boss shoe at Cairo Airport, checked the label, and saw those proud words ‘Made in India’, which was manufactured by his company.
For entrepreneurs like Aqeel, quality is not just a corporate metric, it is a national responsibility. His work has not only put Indian craftsmanship on global shelves for iconic brands but has also driven large-scale rural employment, championed women’s empowerment in manufacturing, and pioneered sustainable zero liquid discharge technologies.
As we strengthen the India-UK trade corridors, entrepreneurs like him are proving to the world that BRAND INDIA stands at the very top tier.
To Aqeel and countless Indian businesses setting global benchmarks, thank you for making the 'Made in India' label a symbol of trust, excellence, and pride.
Underrated life advice: Keep more evidence of your progress. Journal entries. Photos. Notes. Old goals. We spend so much time focused on how far we have left to go that we forget how far we've already come. Sometimes perspective is the only motivation you need.
Dharmendra Pradhan should go.
Javadekar, and Nishank were removed from the Education Ministry for far less than what has unfolded under Pradhan's tenure.
The govt should not worry about whether Congress will portray his removal as a political victory. Let them. They are irrelevant. The govt is answerable to students and parents, and they are increasingly disillusioned by repeated paper leak controversies, CBSE evaluation discrepancies, contentious UGC regulations, and a series of avoidable crises. In recent years, there has rarely been this level of public anger directed at the Education Ministry.
Pradhan's removal should be followed by an independent probe to determine whether tender rules were altered or interpreted in a manner that favoured Coempt Edutech, and whether any conflict of interest exists between the company and anyone associated with the Education Ministry. Public confidence in the education system must be restored.
Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies and fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.
Real books change your very psyche. Not the self-help books. The long, difficult, soul-altering books. The Brothers Karamazov. One Hundred Years of Solitude. The Stranger. The Old Man and the Sea. Crime and Punishment. In Search of Lost Time. Writers who understood loneliness. Meaning. Human suffering. The quiet chaos inside the mind. Writers who sat alone for years and pulled something true out of their inner darkness and put it on a page so that one day you could read it and feel less alone in your own. They change the way you see people. They expand your perception. They upgrade your consciousness. That's what real books do.
They alter you.
“Why are you crying about the re-exam? It’s not like you’ll forget everything you studied in a few weeks. If you are a good student, you can study again and still score well.”
Well, that’s not how things work. Competitive examinations are not merely tests of knowledge, but also tests of timing, mental conditioning, emotional stability, and peak performance achieved after months or years of disciplined preparation. Serious students structure their entire routine around one examination date, carefully managing sleep, revision cycles, stress levels, mock tests, and mental sharpness to perform at their absolute best on that particular day.
When an exam is cancelled despite their honest effort, they are forced to recreate the same level of focus and intensity again, which is mentally exhausting and usually impossible with the same efficiency.
The hardest-working students are affected the most because they invest the greatest emotional and mental energy into preparation. After the first exam, many experience burnout, fatigue, reduced concentration, emotional numbness, and loss of momentum. Even if their knowledge remains intact, their sharpness may decline during the re-exam.
Most damaging of all, paper leaks weaken a sincere student’s faith in merit itself. When students realize that even years of hard work cannot protect them from systemic failures caused by others’ dishonesty, it creates frustration, helplessness, and distrust toward institutions.
This is why a leak-proof exam is non-negotiable, the bare minimum that can be done for hard working students.
NEET 2026 रद्द, पुनः परीक्षा होगी। कोई भी सरकार दोबारा परीक्षा से होने वाली मानसिक पीड़ा, आर्थिक क्षति और मनोवैज्ञानिक हानि को नहीं समझ पा रही। पेपर लीक एक अभिशाप है। एक समय आएगा जब सरकारों से इसका उत्तर माँगा जाएगा।

What will didi do now?
She can't go to the Assembly because she lost the election. If she makes one of her MLAs resign to fight a bypoll, Suvendu Adhikari will stand against her and defeat her for the third time.
She can't ask any of her Rajya Sabha MPs to resign and make way for her because she no longer has a majority in the Bengal Assembly, and BJP would snatch that seat if fresh Rajya Sabha elections are held due to resignation.
She can't go to the Lok Sabha either till at least 2029.
So where will she go after getting up every day?
Man, I don’t remember ever seeing people celebrate the defeat of an incumbent in a state election like this.
Mamata must be utterly shell-shocked. Years of near-total suppression of dissent by her cadre machinery probably convinced her that she was genuinely loved. When fear silences criticism, rulers mistake silence for admiration.
Now, with scenes like these emerging from virtually every locality and every city, she may finally be realising the scale of public resentment that had been buried beneath intimidation and political fear.
Has it sunk in yet? Mamata is not even an MLA today. Defeated twice now by giant slayer Suvendu Adhikari. It is one thing to defeat Mamata in Nandigram. Defeating Mamata in heart of Kolkata bhadralok territory of Bhabanipur is catastrophic for her. She will never recover from this.
Hass hass ke pet dukhne laga 🤣🤣
Never imagined people of Bengal will openly dance on the streets to the Remix of “Hamba Hamba Ramba Ramba” 🥳😍
This is what freedom from dictatorship looks like 🚩
Bigger the dictator, harder they fall 🔥🔥
The 2017 textbook overhaul didn’t stop at "Ramdhonu."
They systematically inserted words like "Paani" (for Jal/water) and "Abba" (for Baba/father) into primary school books, directly tampering with the linguistic sanctity of foundational Bengali literature.
#WestBengalElectionResult2026
The Bengali word for "rainbow" is Ramdhonu, which means "Lord Ram’s bow." For thousands of years, Bengalis have referred to it by this name.
In 2017, in West Bengal school textbooks, "Ramdhonu" was replaced by the word Rongdhonu, which means "bow of colors." This word was not a part of traditional Bengali language and Mamata govt introduced it specifically to replace "Ram"dhonu.
To make matters worse, Rongdhonu comes from Bangladesh, where the Islamic government has been using it instead of Ramdhonu since they came into existence as an Islamic country.
Imagine the scale of appeasement!
