Such ridiculous ad on occasion of Raksha Bandhan😡

No bra-wearing actress, No Skin-show, bolte hai "Deliver the Love". Kriti Sanon & Aziz Premji will be so offended. Is this the way to "portray" Hindu Festivals? छी!

Dear @kritisanon

You wouldn’t dress for Eid the same way you dress for a nightclub. You wouldn’t dress for Christmas the same way you dress for a beach holiday. You wouldn’t wear Halloween attire to a traditional wedding.

There is a reason we dress differently for Holi, Diwali, weddings and religious festivals. Clothing, food, sweets and traditions are all shaped by the occasion.

The issue isn’t “telling women what to wear.” The issue is whether what is being promoted is appropriate for the occasion.

Wear whatever you want in your personal life or films. That’s your choice.

But when you participate in a festival rooted in tradition, showing some sensitivity toward the occasion isn’t oppression.

It’s basic cultural awareness. 😇

How much of India’s infrastructure was added after 2014?

A comparison with the preceding decade puts the scale into perspective:

Indicator | 2004–14| 2014–26
DFC | 0% | 100%
Solar | 2% | 98%
Ex. Ways | 11% | 85%
Tapwater | 7% | 79%
Metro | 9% | 75%
Port Cap | 15% | 71%
Rail Elec | 7% | 69%
4Lane NH | 29% | 60%

Infrastructure is built over decades.

But some decades build more than others.

[Shantanu Gupta @shantanug_]

You may find calling people “uncle” and “aunty” a clever put-down. I prefer judging people by what they have contributed to society.

@TVMohandasPai was there at the inception of Akshaya Patra’s school-meal journey — helping push the idea, supporting it personally and serving it for years. Today, Akshaya Patra feeds 2.35 million children every school day in partnership with many state governments.

That is 2.35 million children whose hunger and education are being positively impacted.

The quintessential attribute of Gen Z should be innovation — not ageism. Challenge old ideas, disrupt old systems, build something better. But abusing or cancelling someone simply because of their age is neither progressive nor innovative.

So before sneering at an “uncle”, perhaps a useful question is: What have you built? How many lives have you positively touched?

Respect should be earned by contribution, not cancelled by age.

[The Indian Matrix @indianmatrix]

In 2005, India couldn’t meet 12.3% of its own peak demand. By 2007, the shortfall had widened to nearly 16.6%, and close to 18,000 megawatts were unavailable.

India today draws 52% of its electricity from non-fossil sources. More than half of every unit generated comes from the sun, water, wind, or nuclear.

The deficit percentage, which once sat stubbornly above 10%, has now collapsed. Since 2024, it has been effectively zero.

Electricity reliability is, in the end, a quiet form of equity. When the grid is unreliable, those with money buy backup. Those without simply go without. India's closing of its power deficit means that the gap no longer falls along economic lines.

The country that once rationed darkness now delivers light on demand, at the moment of highest need, to everyone connected to the grid.

[The Indian Matrix @indianmatrix]

India’s economic story has two very different chapters.

India’s GDP per capita fell from 35.2% of the EMDE average in 2003 to 27.8% in 2013.

Since 2014, that trajectory has reversed.

India reached 37.2% of the EMDE average in 2026 and is projected to reach 46.2% by 2031.

The EMDE group itself comprises 150+ emerging markets and developing economies, representing roughly 85% of the world’s population.

So this is not simply India growing in isolation. It is India steadily closing the gap with the broader developing world.

The lost decade was followed by a decade of catch-up.

[Parimal @Fintech03]

Can you guess what this number is: 43 crore?

That is 430 million. Not vaccine doses. Not Aadhaar cards. Not UPI txns this time.

That is the number of free doctor consultations delivered by a govt telemedicine platform most urban Indians have never even heard of.

It is called eSanjeevani.....

And it might be the most quietly massive digital health system on the planet, bigger, by consultation volume, than any telemedicine platform any country has ever built, public / private.

Look at how fast this scaled, most people assume govt tech moves at govt speed.

This one did not....

- 2019: platform rolled out, mostly experimental.

- Mid-2020: crossed 3 million consultations, right as COVID lockdowns hit and OPDs across the country shut their doors.

- Within a couple more years: past 120 million.

- By January 2025: past 250 million.

- By November 2025: 430 million.

That is not linear growth. That is a curve that bent hard upward because a health worker sitting in a primary health centre in rural Chhattisgarh, with zero specialists for a 100 KMs, suddenly had a video line straight to a doctor at a district hospital.

How it actually works and why the model is smart:

- It runs on a hub & spoke system. 131,000+ rural health centres (the "spokes") connect to ~17,000 hospital hubs.

- A nurse / health worker at a village level centre does the first line consultation and if it needs a specialist, they do not send the patient on a bus ride to the nearest city. They connect them, live, on video, right there.

- And this is not a niche pilot anymore, 93%+ of all usage runs through this doctor to doctor model, meaning it has become genuine day to day rural healthcare infrastructure, not a COVID-era stopgap.

A few more fascinating data points for people mostly doubting any govt run schemes:

- 57% of beneficiaries are women, the demographic that has historically had the hardest time physically travelling to a city hospital for a routine consultation.

- 12% are senior citizens. This is reaching exactly the population that private telemedicine apps, built for smartphone literate urban users with credit cards, were never going to reach.

1 of the largest single interventions in healthcare access in human history, built quietly, by an Indian govt lab (C-DAC), running almost invisibly in the background of "Digital India" headlines that usually go to UPI and Aadhaar instead.

Bharat is rising. 🙏🙏

[Malini Parthasarathy @MaliniP]

Dreadfully slanderous remarks by the Leader of the Opposition @RahulGandhi & Congress leader @_SandeepDikshit about the Prime Minister @narendramodi & ridiculing his foreign policy skills on a public stage, dragging in a foreign female leader in a defamatory taunt show that @INCIndia has reached rock bottom.
By making ugly personal taunts the centrepiece of the attack on the Narendra Modi administration, the Congress will only lose further credibility as a mainstream party and get erased from the political map eventually.
Sad to see the rot that has set into the Congress party’s political discourse.

[Hims 🪷 🚴 🌱 🧘 @maveinlux]

I always thought Rahul Gandhi was incompetent. Today he demonstrated something uglier: a breathtaking absence of class.

Mock Modi all you want. Attack his policies, his politics, his foreign policy, mercilessly, if you can make the argument. But dragging Giorgia Meloni into a juvenile innuendo and laughing along reduces the Prime Minister of Italy from a serious elected leader to a prop in a cheap boys’ joke.

That isn’t wit. It isn’t political satire. And it certainly isn’t statesmanship.

The most revealing thing about such jokes is not what they say about Modi or Meloni. It is what they reveal about the men making them, their instinctive attitude towards women, their intellectual shallowness and the level to which they are willing to drag political discourse for a few laughs.

India deserves an opposition capable of intellectually dismantling the government when it gets things wrong. Instead, its Leader of Opposition stands on a stage laughing at schoolboy innuendo involving the female Prime Minister of a friendly country.

You cannot manufacture class. Today made that painfully obvious.

[The Indian Matrix @indianmatrix]

15 Economic Indicators.

From where PM Manmohan Singh left India in 2014 to where India stands today under PM Modi in 2026.

• Higher growth
• Lower inflation
• Smaller subsidies
• Stronger external position
• Higher capital expenditure
• A greater share of global GDP
• Lower non-performing assets

India’s economy is built over decades.
But some decades change its trajectory more than others.
