Justice served. DP resigned. Hats off to the brave young Indians for their endurance and determination.
A clear message: never underestimate the young and their voice.
We will get you too, someday soon!
An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:
My dear young friends,
I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.
This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.
I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.
So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.
To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.
And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.
To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.
With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.
And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.
Thrilled to win!
800 nominations. 19 awardees. Proud to be one of them.
My first as a journalist, and a moment that means a lot. Here’s to continuing this journey with the same passion, grounded in strong values. ❤️

I am extremely annoyed with @amazonIN service. When the return is scheduled, the fellows pick up the wrong package and it has been 20 days. No whereabouts of my package, refund or follow up.
Radio silence! Quite embarrassing! @AmazonHelp
"I know I said goodbye, and baby, you said it too
But when I touch her, I feel like I'm #cheating on you
I thought that I'd be better when I found someone new
But when I touch her, I feel like I'm cheating on you"

There is a quiet kind of strength in a #woman who is deeply secure in herself.
She does not #love halfway. She does not need more than One Man. She doesn't measure affection in careful portions. She gives all or none. Neither money nor fame can impress her.
When she chooses a #man, she gives with #honesty, loyalty, warmth, and attention. Not because she is afraid to lose him, or that she had something to prove, but because she is not afraid to be the raw version of herself with him, a privilege accorded to no other.
A woman like that does not love from scarcity. She loves from abundance. Her love is inexhaustible, so the more she does, the less it feels.
And when a man walks away from that kind of love, she does not become bitter. She does not chase. She does not shrink. She returns to herself.
She doesn't need a 're-bound relationship' to drive a point. She doesn't need to.
The truth about genuine love is this: It leaves an indelible mark, a deeply etched heartprint that none can erase.
A man may leave. He may even convince himself that he wanted something different. He struggles with his heart, but he convinces his mind that this is right.
Then, in the stillness of the night, when the noise of opinion fades, a gentle, quiet realisation follows: that what they had was rare.
He tries not to think of her: the goofiness, the baby jokes, the tender moments that brought him peace and made him feel alive again in a long time.
That's because peace, loyalty, softness, and strength in one person are not easily replaced.
And the woman who loved him so openly, and to a fault?
She's still the same woman.
She waits patiently, knowing one day he will return.
Not overconfidence, a simple five-letter word: #Faith.
Faith in the Divine, in him, and in her unalterable love.
Impressed by the AI- robot, G-SPIDER deployed in Thiruvananthapuram. Urban sanitation is being modernised under the able leadership of their MP @ShashiTharoor
The real reason why @flyspicejet prefers DM. Check the time stamp. Supposed to have 24/7 call centers to respond to people 8 hours after their question.
Pathetic airline and pathetic customer care
I choose to believe that it is in the sheer obscurities of life and when the fog of time covers the road that God prepares the finest tables!
I refuse to give up on God and His goodness!
When your logic and arguments are viewed as a weapon too powerful to overcome, leftists resort to physical violence to silence you.
Praying for @charliekirk11
Charlie Kirk will remain a hero; he was a fabulous man, engaging respectfully with those who disagreed with him.
The silence is deafening. My thoughts are with the family and others who are bereaved.
I PRAY DEMONS REJOICE WHEN WE DIE TOO!
An IAF Jaguar Trainer aircraft met with an accident during a routine training mission and crashed near Churu in Rajasthan, today. Both pilots sustained fatal injuries in the accident. No damage to any civil property has been reported.
IAF deeply regrets the loss of lives and stands firmly with the bereaved families in this time of grief.
A court of inquiry has been constituted, to ascertain the cause of the accident.
