is anyone else noticing how time no longer feels normal? the days vanish and then the weeks blur together. everything is so much faster. something is wrong.
Most friendships don’t end with drama. They end with silence, slow replies, and two people quietly accepting they no longer value each other enough to try.
It is the New Year 1948 as per Shalivahan Shaka. It's Shuddha Pratipada first day in the month of Chaitra. The day is called and celebrated as Gudhi Padva. A Gudhi is erected at homes. The Gudhi is a long stick to which mango leaves, neem leaves, leaves of Davna ( दवणा) - Indian Wormwood in English are tied. On top of the stick is placed upside down a गडू - a vessal used to for water. The Gudhi is garlanded with flowers and GaaTHee - गाठी - a garland of pendents cast from sugar. The Gudhi is kept between sunrise and sunset. #GudhiPadva #गुढीपाडवा
A group of 10th-grade students in India on a school trip littered the entire compartment and then refused to clean up their mess when asked. What is even more disturbing is that these are not toddlers who do not know better, but teenagers old enough to understand responsibility, respect for public spaces, and basic discipline. Public property belongs to all of us, and maintaining it is a shared duty, yet such behaviour shows a worrying lack of civic sense. Education is not just about textbooks and exams; it is also about learning respect, responsibility, and consideration for others. If this is the attitude of the next generation, it is genuinely concerning and deeply disappointing.
Today in Parliament, I raised concerns affecting India’s prepaid recharge customers, who account for nearly 90% of the country’s 125 crore mobile users.

If a recharge expires, stopping outgoing calls may be understandable. But why are incoming calls stopped as well? Once validity ends, people cannot be reached, and even essential messages like bank OTPs may not come through. In emergencies or urgent situations, this can leave a person completely cut off.
My demands: First is that incoming calls and SMS should continue for at least one year after the last recharge so essential communication does not stop. Second, a mobile number should not be deactivated for at least three years after the last recharge. Third, telecom operators should introduce a low cost “incoming only” plan for users who simply need their number to remain active for essential calls, OTPs and government services.

I also raised the issue of 28 day recharge “monthly” plans. If something is called monthly, it should follow the calendar month of 30–31 days. Because of the 28 day cycle, consumers effectively end up paying for 13 recharges in a year. (28 days × 13 recharges = 364 days)
Telecom Operators should sync up their Recharge Plans with the true calendar months, and not 28 day plans.
A mobile phone today is not a luxury. It is a lifeline.
Prepaid recharge customers deserve fairness and transparency. Not clever fine print.
