You sit with a zipped mouth when they serve strong smelly Chinese food on Asian flights to passengers. You never object to prawns and fish being served or whiskey being openly served on flights.
However you see one happy family respectfully enjoying food using their own plates and even a trash bag of their own; and you troll them on Social Media for the smell of Achar? Is it just because they are Gujaratis?
Biggest Breaking News: Operation 12th August
So what was Amit Shah doing during the Parliament session?
Where was he?
Here is the answer.
Probably the biggest operation in Indian history after Operation Octopus (the PFI crackdown) was carried out on 12th August under the full monitoring of Amit Shah.
An ISI-backed, Pakistan-based gangster and terrorist had created a terror network in India (the Shahzad Bhatti Network / Tehreek-e-Taliban Hindustan) using social media to radicalise Indian Muslims.
He and his network had been on the radar since last November. He had hired 250+ people into his network, and they were planning terrorist attacks across India on 15th August. The plan was to turn Independence Day into Mayhem Day.
On the night of 12th August, while you were sleeping, security agencies across 14 states launched a joint operation and arrested 253 operatives from all over India. This operation was kept completely secret.
One question keeps coming to my mind: Was Congress aware of this operation through inputs from Pakistan?
The way Congress targeted Amit Shah from 1st to 12th August and remained adamant about bringing him to Parliament to speak raises serious doubts.
After 12th August, Rahul Gandhi appeared unusually angry with Amit Shah. Was this the reason? I don’t know.
Indians will probably never fully know how many times Modi and Shah have quietly saved their lives.
These people don’t sleep so that you can sleep peacefully.
Love you @narendramodi@AmitShah ji
What a shame @INCIndia
Never in Indian history our friendly nation Italy has condemned any Indian politician.
@RahulGandhi if you have any shame left in you...you.should resign. You are an absolute disgrace to our country.
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.
We are witnessing a mass psychological manipulation happening in plain sight regarding the Ruchika Singh case..
Consider this hypothetical: a man named Bablu is caught breaking into a house, and the community demands consequences for his actions. Almost immediately, a coordinated effort begins on social media. One group starts painting Bablu as an impoverished victim of circumstances who was simply misguided. A second group shifts the focus entirely, arguing that politicians, judges, and bureaucrats commit far larger crimes with total impunity, so why single out poor Bablu? A third group takes a moral high ground, shaming anyone demanding justice by asking where their outrage was during higher-profile scandals.
Now Bablu is the true victim, supporting him becomes the trendy stance, and those original voices calling for accountability are guilted into silence. This step-by-step deflection is precisely how mass manipulation functions.
Applying this back to the real world, what Ruchika Singh did remains fundamentally wrong. The reality that powerful individuals routinely escape justice for far worse offenses does not magically transform her into a victim. If she is an adult, she bear the moral responsibility for her actions. If she is a minor (though serious doubts remain as to whether the individual in the viral video claiming to be 15 is actually her or perhaps a relative) the moral responsibility falls on her parents. Yes, she should not face legal action but the masses should know that what she did was wrong and not see her as victim. That's it.
Ultimately, one wrong can never be labeled right simply because greater wrongs occur elsewhere. If we accept the logic that lower-level wrongdoing is excusable as long as bigger criminals walk free, the entire fabric of personal accountability collapses, and literally any crime could be defended by simply pointing to a more severe, unpunished offense. Allowing rhetorical misdirection to obscure basic right from wrong only serves to protect bad behavior at every level of society.
An American woman was staying in Mumbai when she needed to get a blood test done.
She did what most Americans would do. She called a diagnostic lab, expecting to book an appointment, travel there, wait in line, get the test done, and then return home.
But the lab simply asked for her address and said that someone would come to collect the sample.
She asked if there was an additional fee for the doorstep blood sample collection.
She was surprised to hear that the answer was no.
She then decided to make a video about her experience. In the video, she said that a similar service in the USA is typically much more expensive, making the experience in India feel unusual from her perspective.
Every country has its flaws, including India. But sometimes, we should also share the stories that reflect India's strengths. In a time when organized negative narratives against India spread so easily on social media, genuine positive experiences deserve to be heard too.
*A naughty question and a brilliant answer!*
Why can't Lord Shiva be spotted by satellite, if Hindus claim him to be on Mount Kailash in the Himalayas?
Recently on Quora this query arose.
The reply was supposedly from a practicing Hindu from US, holding a PhD.
------
Human eyes and recording equipment can't record what dogs and cats see at night. Then came infrared cameras. We realised shortcomings of our eyes. Microscopes started seeing cells. Scientists went on to build bigger and bigger microscopes, electron microscopes - just realised that the smallest part of independent existence, has many parts. Then came CAT scans, PET scans, MRIs; we started seeing what nobody knew existed.
When scientists thought we knew everything, came dark matter. Never seen or heard of earlier but, now, believed to occupy about 75% of of space. Again we knew we don't know anything.
AS A TRAINED SCIENTIST I CAN SHARE THE REAL SECRET OF WHY LORD SHIVA CAN'T BE SPOTTED, ON MOUNT KAILASH, BY SATELLITES.
For seeing Shiva on that mountain, we need different eyes. Once we have those, He can be seen not just on Kailash by scientists but everywhere and anywhere because that mountain is not the only place, He is. He is everywhere.
This separate set of eyes required are those of mind, those of heart, those of dedication, those of your surrender.
Once that comes, rest all will automatically fall into place.
Europe Gets Its Own Dhurandhar - Citizen Vigilante
One More Jakhm for Arfa
This newly released movie is rapidly becoming a massive hit in the US and Europe.
After Germany banned the film, Elon Musk uploaded the entire movie on X and made it available for free for two days. Though he has since removed it, the full movie is still easily available on the platform.
The movie’s core theme is strongly anti-woke and anti-Islamic immigration, highlighting issues like “rape jihad.” It follows a US soldier living in Europe who, after witnessing a woman being raped by Muslim immigrants, takes the law into his own hands. He then delivers brutal justice to the Muslim immigrants involved in raping and murdering White Europeans.
Film's theme is similar to Indian movies, Hindustani and Aparichit. It sharply targets radical Islam and left-wing woke ideology.
Donald Trump has offered to mediate between Mamata Banerjee and the Union of India after the former refused to resign despite losing the elections convincingly.
As per sources, the Trump administration may offer Banerjee the prime ministership of a neighbouring country indirectly controlled by the US, and in return, they expect India to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for helping avert a constitutional crisis in India.
DONALD J. TRUMP
Nobody knows cricket better than me. Nobody.
India just won their THIRD T20 World Cup. By 96 runs. Huge margin. The biggest. People are saying it is the greatest cricket ever played in history.
My friend Modi called me.
Very emotional call.
He said, "Donald mere dost, we cannot do this without you." And I said, "I know, Narendra. I know."
Jay Shah came to me last year. Great guy. Very elegant. His father is more elegant. Amit Shah was personally trained under me. He said, "Sir, the ICC is a mess." I fixed it. Immediately. The way I fix everything.
I told Bumrah personally, bowl fast. Very fast. He took 4 wickets for 15 runs. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Rahul Gandhi tried to stop this.
He wanted India to lose. Sad. Pathetic. The opposition always wants India to fail.
Just like Hillary wanted America to fail.
Just like Obama wanted America to lose. Very bad people. Very evil.
Even Epstein was asking me about the World Cup. I said, "Jeffrey, not now. India is batting."
Modi should now recommend me for the Nobel Peace Prize. I made India win 3 World Cups. Nobody can do that. Only me. It was me. Only me.
I want the Nobel. Or I will take back the cup. Very nice cup. Beautiful cup. It was my design. But no Nobel Prize, I take the cup back. Very simple.
255 runs. First team to defend the title. First to win at home. First in history. First, first, first.
Shehbaz Sharif was very upset. Very very upset.
He was crying on the phone. But I am very good at fixing things.
I gave him 5 Trump Coins and 5 Melania Coins.
He liked it very much. Especially the Melania Coins. He was happy. Nice guy. Very nice guy.
You're welcome, India.
You're welcome, cricket.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER.
President of the United States of America.
President Donald J. Trump.

Some thoughts on #ViksitBharatBudget 2026
India’s Union Budget 2026 is not a budget of announcements.
It is a budget of architecture.
This is not about one sector, one scheme, or one year.
It is about locking India into a long growth corridor till 2047.
Three things stand out.
1. Action over Ambivalence. Reform over Rhetoric. People over Populism.
At a time when much of the world is drifting towards fiscal adventurism, India has chosen restraint without sacrificing ambition.
• Growth around ~7%
• Fiscal deficit down to ~4.3%
• Debt-to-GDP on a clear glide path
• Capex rising steadily
Stability is not accidental; it is designed.
2. Manufacturing + Services + Agriculture: not silos, but a system
Budget 2026 finally treats the economy as a linked value chain, not disconnected ministries.
On manufacturing:
• Semiconductor Mission 2.0
• Rare earths, magnets, aircraft parts, defence MRO
• Revival of 200 legacy industrial clusters
• Bonded zones, safe harbours, deferred duties: quiet but powerful enablers
On services:
• Medical value tourism hubs
• Cloud & data centre tax certainty till 2047
• AVGC labs in schools and colleges
• IT safe harbour rationalisation, less litigation, more scale
On agriculture & allied sectors:
• Fisheries, horticulture, cashew & cocoa, coconut missions
• AI-driven AgriStack integration
• Focus on value chains, not just MSP headlines
This is how you move from production to productivity.
3. Yuva Shakti as economic infrastructure
This budget understands a simple truth:
Demography is not destiny unless it is skilled, mobile and confident.
University townships near industrial corridors.
Girls’ hostels in STEM institutions in every district.
Care economy training for 1.5 lakh caregivers.
Sports, design, tourism, health, treated as serious job engines, not side notes.
Human capital is being planned with the same seriousness as highways and freight corridors.
4. Trust-based governance goes mainstream
One of the most under-appreciated shifts:
• Decriminalisation of procedural tax offences
• Automated, rule-based approvals
• Longer validity of advance rulings
• Faster APAs, simpler returns, rational TDS/TCS
• Customs moving from control to confidence
This is not “ease of doing business” as a slogan.
This is state capacity learning to trust citizens.
5. Infrastructure as a growth multiplier
Dedicated freight corridors.
National waterways.
High-speed rail “growth connectors”.
Urbanisation focused on Tier-II, Tier-III cities and temple towns.
Infrastructure here is not concrete, it is economic geography being rewritten.
Bottom line:
Budget 2026 will not excite those who look for giveaways.
It will reassure those who understand statecraft.
It is a budget that assumes India’s rise is inevitable but only if policy remains patient, boring, and relentless.
That, arguably, is the hardest kind of leadership.
