A healthy periodic reminder:
- No one is coming to save you
- Create your own green light
- Craft your own armour
- Have a Yes/No policy of your own
- Stop taking yourself too seriously
- Kindness triumphs hate
- Love exists
- Find your pace and own it!

Fourteenth of January, 1984. Eden Gardens was packed for a football match, India against Argentina, a side building under young coach Carlos Bilardo, two years before he won the World Cup in Mexico.
India held them scoreless till the 79th minute. Gareca scored late, Argentina won 1-0.
Everyone will remember the loss. I remember the packed stands. My city has never lacked an appetite for world-class sport. It only needs enough occasions to show up for.
The Left liberals’ desperate rush to promote anyone who protests against Modi for a few minutes of fame has backfired badly. That’s why no one takes them or their opinions seriously anymore. The low quality of these fly-by-night activists makes it even worse. It all looks like one big dung heap.
2022: Shraddha Walkar butchered by her boyfriend Aftab Poonawala, pieces scattered.
2025-26: Court permits him to skip hearings due to dental appointment, mental health check & now to take MA Sociology exam.
Gems of our judiciary 🙏🏽
The only thing baffling about ‘WIDOW'S BAY’ on Apple TV is how tf does it have 19 Emmy nominations!!
PR 💯
Humour, horror, characterisation, storyline - zero. Boring, lazy writing.
Kate O'Flynn is the only one who delivered.
The Boroughs did this genre better, with none of the hype.
While some politicians are busy damaging India's global image, Indian companies are strengthening India's global presence.
Firstsource, a Sanjiv Goenka Group company, set up its Australia & New Zealand operations in Victoria in 2024. Today, it has its first Victorian headquarters, creating 400+ local jobs.
Truly amazing!!
The significance of this meeting extends beyond a photo opportunity.
Bengal has the talent, history, infrastructure, and entrepreneurial spirit to once again emerge as one of India's leading growth engines. Realising that potential, however, will require confidence from investors and a constructive partnership between government and industry.
Encouraging to see Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Suvendu Adhikari and Sanjiv Goenka discussing a shared vision for a Viksit Bengal. The Goenka family has remained deeply rooted in Bengal for over 220 years, choosing to invest, build, and create opportunities here through changing economic cycles rather than abandoning the state. Today, Sanjiv Goenka stands as one of Eastern India's most prominent business leaders.
If this dialogue translates into greater investment, stronger industry, and meaningful job creation, it will be a great win fof the state.
It was a pleasure meeting Hon'ble Chief Minister of West Bengal, Shri @SuvenduWB, and listening to his visionary plans for the state's development. The vision for a Viksit Bengal is both inspiring and forward-looking. Equally remarkable was his energy, enthusiasm, and meticulous attention to even the smallest details.
We had a meaningful discussion on West Bengal's growth journey and the opportunities to strengthen the state's industrial ecosystem, attract greater investment, create employment, and enhance its global competitiveness.
Looking forward to contributing to this shared journey of progress.
#WATCH | Melbourne, Australia: On PM Narendra Modi's address at the Australia CEO Forum on Clean Energy and Nuclear Partnerships, Sanjiv Goenka Group Vice Chairman Shashwat Goenka says, “In today's meeting, multiple sectors were discussed where both countries can come together and work together to create new benchmarks for the world to see. There is immense potential for both countries to come together, not just to share learnings, but more importantly, to collaborate on the business opportunities that each of these sectors represents…”
Mahua Moitra opposes encounter of rape-accused.
MAHUA -
"For the first time in the history of Bengal, we have seen an encounter killing. This is Jungleraj.
Bengal has officially become 'UP 2.0' from today 😳
We have never seen an encounter killing in Bengal.
There are very strict rules on encounter shootout"
Ok now that’s hilarious.. she was ok when rapists were going scot-free under TMC rule.. heck TMC didn’t just allow it.. they facilitated the escapes. But now that there’s no tolerance and direct action under BJP rule.. this egg face has a problem.
@Iyervval you’re clearly spoiling miss delulu with your humour!
I admire Ashwini Bhide mam.. I really do.. have seen her work on-ground, she’s one of the best out there. But Mumbai requires 10 such Ashwini Bhide to make it work.. and that’s a fact! #mumbairains
“We had good preparation for monsoon but we failed at micro level.
We will start our fresh preparation from January of next year.”

Two 39-year-olds. Two undisputed greats, and arguably the greatest ever in their respective sports. Both in the twilight of careers that have already achieved almost everything there is to achieve.
Yet, the hunger remains.
Lionel Messi rallies Argentina from the brink, inspiring a remarkable comeback when hope seemed to be fading.
Novak Djokovic battles through his longest-ever Wimbledon match, prevailing in five gruelling sets to reach yet another semi-final.
Perhaps that's what truly defines greatness. Not talent alone, but the relentless hunger to improve, compete and inspire, regardless of age or past achievements.
Among the earliest known photographs of Kedarnath, captured in 1882.
There is something profoundly moving about this image. Revered as one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas and the foremost of the Panch Kedar temples, Kedarnath has inspired devotion across generations. For countless, the journey to Kedarnath has never been merely about reaching there. It has always been a journey of surrender and inner reflection. Every step through the mountains is an act of faith, reminding us that the greatest journeys are those that transform us within.
Perhaps that is why this photograph feels so timeless. While landscapes evolve, roads become easier, and the world moves faster, the call of Kedarnath remains unchanged, inviting seekers to experience not only the majesty of the Himalayas but also a profound sense of humility before the larger order of creation.
