Yes.. Recently went to New Delhi Railway station. I have been using this station as long as I remember.. Never seen it so clean. It's undergoing complete renovation and I expect it to be one of the very best and busiest railway stations in the world, when completed.

Contrast that with railway stations a decade ago, it used to literally feel like we are entering the world's largest urinal. A complete chaos with tracks filled with shit. Today the same tracks are completely litter free. It didn't happen "by chance". The whole inventory of Indian Railways was fitted with Bio Vacuum toilets by Modi Govt..

This is just one example. Lot of work still needs to be done, specially slum cleanup around railway lines, to clean up the tracks in urban areas. We have taken first few baby steps towards that. It will take massive effort though.

This dome near Shahibaug on Riverfront-Airport road in Ahmedabad may seem just fancy🪩lights today, but it was originally installed by @SRFDCL to protect road traffic from 💩 from trains crossing above.
Biotoilets in trains did not have high coverage then.

Very less people actually have usage of Schedule FA in ITR filing. Even many CAs do not have experience of this.
The CSV upload is also horribly implemented there @IncomeTaxIndia

@atherenergy Or Maruti Suzuki🚗 pointing their mileage efficient cars, or an @ACKOIndia reminder for vehicle insurance.

In rural areas, Mahindra tractor ad perfectly hitting farmers refilling their diesel tanks.

This easily converts a basic errand into a targeting flow.

Petrol pump⛽ can be a great ad spot.
When a 2-wheeler🏍️ comes, you are getting their attention for 1-3 mins. This is even more for cars, 5-10 mins easily.

Imagine the premium brands like @atherenergy⚡ would pay to make consumers think about not having to wait in a line🎯

It's a shame no major film has been made about Biju Patnaik. He lived a life that sounds almost fictional:

In 1938, he flew his entire wedding procession by aircraft to Rawalpindi for his marriage to Gyanwati Sethi (who became the first Indian woman to hold a commercial pilot’s license, and the couple later flew daring missions together.)

While serving in the Royal Indian Air Force (including as head of Air Transport Command), he secretly ferried freedom fighters like Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, and Aruna Asaf Ali to their hideouts. He also airdropped 'Quit India' leaflets to Indian troops while evacuating British families.

The British once jailed him for transporting nationalist leaders and distributing anti-British literature but also honored him for bravery in evacuating civilians from Japanese-occupied Burma.

During WWII, he flew daring missions delivering arms and supplies to Soviet forces in Stalingrad, and over the treacherous 'Hump' route to China in
support of Chinese Nationalist forces against the Japanese.

In July 1947, he and his wife flew a Dakota into Indonesia, landed on an improvised airstrip while evading Dutch anti-aircraft fire, rescued Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir, refuelled using abandoned Japanese fuel, and flew him safely to India via Singapore.

A couple of months later, during the Pakistani invasion of Kashmir, he airlifted one of the first Indian troops into Srinagar.

The same year he founded Kalinga Airlines, one of India's earliest private airlines.

As Odisha CM post-1962 India-China war, he secretly visited CIA headquarters at Langley to forge a covert India-US partnership against China, which led to the Aviation Research Centre (ARC) at Charbatia, which supported U-2 recon missions over Tibet.

He was also a legendary administrator and statesman, laying much of the foundation of Odisha's industrial empire (mines, ports, heavy industries etc).

When he passed away, Indonesia observed 7 days of state mourning. Russia observed 1 day. He remains the only person in Indian history whose body was draped in the national flags of 3 nations - India, Indonesia, and Russia.

Few public figures have left such a footprint.

His extraordinary life needs to be brought to the big screen.

@IndiGo6E has gone absolutely nuts over promoting their hotels and cabs.
Not only their check-in site is flooded, even boarding pass pdf is 70% of promotions, and all of it clickable, taking you to ads unintentionally at least 2-3 times you open it.

Every Indian should know what India got from this Indonesia visit. Especially the people who joke about the PM's foreign trips. :)

I read the full list of outcomes this morning. This is one of the biggest visits we've made to Southeast Asia in years.

Let me explain.

First, why Indonesia matters at all.

Indonesia is the fourth biggest country in the world by population. Around 28 crore people. It has the largest economy in ASEAN. It's the largest Muslim-majority country on earth. And it sits right on top of the busiest shipping lane in Asia.

Basically, if India wants to matter in Asia, we need Indonesia as a friend.

Now, what got signed.

One. Indonesia is buying Indian missiles.

They're importing our Astra air-to-air missiles. These are the missiles that performed well in Operation Sindoor. They're also adding more BrahMos batteries to their military.

For most of my life, India was known as the world's biggest buyer of weapons. We only imported. Now another big country is buying missiles made in India because they saw them work. That's a huge change in direction.

Two. India is investing in Indonesia's minerals.

Indonesia produces about half the world's nickel. Nickel goes inside every electric vehicle battery. Right now, Chinese companies control most of the nickel processing there.

India will now invest in nickel, steel and rare earth magnet manufacturing inside Indonesia.

Why does this matter?

Last year China restricted the export of rare earth magnets. Within weeks, Indian car companies started panicking because their production depended on those magnets.

When one country and that too China controls a material everyone needs, it can squeeze you anytime.

This deal means India will have its own supply in the future.

Three. The port. This is the biggest one for me.

India and Indonesia will jointly develop Sabang port.

Open a map and look at where Sabang is. It sits at the entrance of the Strait of Malacca. This is a narrow sea passage through which a huge share of the world's trade passes.

Most of China's oil imports pass through it too. China has openly worried about this passage for 20 years.

Sabang is only about 100 miles from India's own Great Nicobar port project. So India will now have a presence at both ends of the entrance to the most important sea passage in Asia.

Four. A small deal that shows deep trust.

India will help Indonesia build its own EVMs, voting machines designed for Indonesia.

Think about that. Elections are the most sensitive thing in a democracy. A country only takes help with its voting machines from someone it trusts completely.

And finally, about the medal everyone is posting about.

The Bintang Adipurna is Indonesia's highest honour. It started in 1959. It's so senior that Indonesia's own President receives it when he takes office.

Foreign leaders get it very rarely.

And look at the full sequence of respect here.

Prabowo Ji came to Delhi as our Republic Day chief guest in January 2025.

Yesterday he personally went to the airport to receive Modi Ji.

Today he gave him Indonesia's highest honour. Modi Ji dedicated it to crores of Indians.

One more thing that I find beautiful.

Both leaders are visiting the Prambanan temple in Yogyakarta.

It's a 1,000-year-old Hindu temple complex where the Ramayana is still performed as a dance.

Indonesia's national airline is called Garuda.

Our two countries have been connected for over 2,000 years. This friendship has very old roots.

Now, a nickel plant takes years to build. A port takes ten years. A missile partnership takes decades to grow.

None of these things provide an immediate, exciting change. They determine India’s position in 2040, the cost of our EVs, the safety of our maritime trade, and which countries purchase our weapons.

People judge the PM's visit by two days of photos. By that logic every trip looks like tourism, because the real results show up ten years later.

The world's largest democracy and the world's largest Muslim-majority democracy just became much closer partners. That's 170 crore people building together.

Our kids will still be benefiting from what was signed this week, long after everyone forgets the photos. :)

@SandeepParekh This is just plain old communism in new fancy word salad.

They see something, someone progressing; they point at it as the culprit of all other problems.
They want all poor and ugly, so all equal, and they can project that world as fair.
