@ammusfront@DrSJaishankar@UN Mostly to avoid giving them a ‘Right to Reply’ after the main speech. Our Right to Reply speech given by IN diplomat Ms Petal Gahlot provided a full rebuttal to Pak’s false claims towards India.
Sharp leadership optics but over the years, BRICS foreign ministers have regularly used the UNGA platform in New York to convene informal and formal meetings for coordination and discussion. Its practical 💁🏽♀️
Hosted a meeting of the BRICS Foreign Ministers in New York today.
Highlighted that
➡️ When multilateralism is under stress, BRICS has stood firm as a strong voice of reason and constructive change.
➡️ In a turbulent world, BRICS must reinforce the message of peacebuilding, dialogue, diplomacy and adherence to international law.
➡️ BRICS must amplify its collective call for a comprehensive reform of the principal organs of the United Nations, especially the UN Security Council.
➡️ As rising protectionism, tariff volatility and non-tariff barriers impact trade flows, BRICS must defend the multilateral trading system.
➡️ Technology and innovation will define the next phase of BRICS cooperation.
➡️ India’s Chairship will focus on food and energy security, climate change, and sustainable development through digital transformation, startups, innovation, and strengthened development partnerships.

Update on our Arattai messenger app:
It is another example of our patient engineering approach at work. We have taken the time because we have to make it work in low end phones, low bandwidth networks (we test down to 8 kilobits/sec), offer outstanding privacy and security, and be very easy to use, all at the same time!
We are diligently updating the app weekly. We are working on a lot of the features you expect and in another month, a lot of that will be done. We are also investing in the infrastructure for scaling. I am personally talking to the engineers daily on all this.
We will launch a big marketing campaign once that is all in place. You will like the campaign!
We are committed to offering the best messaging experience in the world. Stay tuned for more!
@Arattai@Arattai congratulations to your team for achieving whatever you have till this point and good luck for the near future and managing ~1 billion people’s rightful expectations. Take a Chai break and comeback louder. Rooting for you! 🤗
@thewire_in @vizagvala @m_raza_khan But parallel to this: labor market congestion is part policy and part inherent market structure. Too many similarly educated people chasing specific jobs. While policy reforms can create jobs and efficiency, unemployment also arises from competition. Upskilling becomes imp.
@sri_nivas@aravind Experienced the same, one time a couple of girls from a popular fashion school were shopping ahead of me and dropped stuff from the aisle, I picked it up for them and they just walked off without as much as a nod. Later I HAD to point out: "least you can say is thankyou?"
My husband is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, and I was immediately taken by him, but over the years, I've come to learn most people can't see it. He dresses simply. He uses plain language. He likes superheroes and video games. They conclude they're not seeing a smart person. People aren't looking for intelligence itself. They look for signifiers of it, the song and dance of it, the whirling bedazzlement of "genius," like a peacock spreading its wings. That is how easy it is to fool someone.
@MattooShashank Cute. But its no more a White man’s burden to “make Indians (with 80.9% literacy) understand what is going on”, dear Trump Adviser, its 2025.
