Great fight Japan - will miss you at WC2026! Seems that the Cup has finally started.

Let’s just follow the Karnataka/Orissa model & supplement eggs through a volunteer agency. While ISKCON food likely to be higher quality & nutritious, why deprive poor kids of nutritious eggs, a staple in at least 1 meal in 99% of Bengal households? (notwithstanding the sheer idiocy of classifying eggs as non-veg by so called educated elites!!)

With all due respect to him, is CJP the Uday Chopra of Indian politics?

[Barnik Chitran Maitra @barnikmaitra]

Bengal Unshackled!
The 50-year era of socialism, communism, minority and illegal immigrant appeasement, and 'Jungle Raj' has come to an end. Leaving the anti-industry mindset behind, Sonar Bangla is finally on the path to progress!
Celebrating this historic victory with the Bengali favorites: Hilsa, Papda, and Bhetki.

শিকলমুক্ত বাংলা!
অবসান হলো ৫০ বছরের সমাজতন্ত্র, সাম্যবাদ, সংখ্যালঘু ও অবৈধ অনুপ্রবেশকারী তোষণ ও 'জঙ্গলরাজ'-এর। শিল্প-বিরোধী মানসিকতা কাটিয়ে সোনার বাংলা এবার উন্নতির পথে! এই ঐতিহাসিক জয় উদযাপন করছি বাঙালির প্রিয় ইলিশ, পাবদা আর ভেটকি দিয়ে।

On popular demand another one:

নবান্ন ছেড়ে পিসি এবার দিচ্ছে বড় পাড়ি,
আগ্রার পাগলাগারদে তার জুটল তাড়াতাড়ি।
লোহার কয়েদ রথে চড়ে ভাইপো চলল তিহার,
পিসি-ভাইপোর বিদায় দেখে শান্তি ফিরল সবার।
#BengalVerdict

[Barnik Chitran Maitra @barnikmaitra]

পিসি গেল, ভাইপো গেল, চটি পড়ে রইল,
দিদিমণির পাত্তারিটা সব জনতাই বইল।
খোকন সোনা বায়না ছাড়ো, এবার খেলনা শেষ,
পিসি-ভাইপো বিদায় নিয়ে ধন্য হলো দেশ!

Hope the end of the jungle raj and mass-scale illegal immigration ushers in a new golden age of.Bengal!

With all due respect to the Kiwis, they were in the game today only for the first 2 overs and the final was over by the end of the 1st powerplay #IndiaT20WorldChampions!

The recent agreement on the India-US BTA framework marks a significant step forward, safeguarding Indian interests in agriculture and dairy while simultaneously opening the US market for India's labour-intensive exports, including textiles, apparel, leather, footwear, gems, plastic, and rubber. This collaboration presents an opportunity for both nations to elevate trade from US $210 billion to US $500 billion within the next 5 to 7 years. Additionally, access to US technology, particularly GPUs—facilitated by India's inclusion in Pax Silica—will provide a substantial boost to the AI industry. Please see insights shared by me during the expert panel discussion with @kartikmalhotra on @News9Tweets on Saturday, February 7, 2026.

Anthropic ads are reminiscent of the 1984 Macintosh ad - does that mean that OpenAI is destined to be IBM?

[Barnik Chitran Maitra @barnikmaitra]

AI is eating software (as a service) for lunch - will it now consume labour (jobs) for dinner?? (apropos the new #AnthropicAI legal automation tool)

(Spoiler Alert): After 2 average seasons, Foundation Season 3 finally catches fire with an irreverent (nearly heretic) interpretation of Asimov. All hail Brother Darkness and will miss Lee Pace and Laura Birn in subsequent seasons.
