Every third Instagram reel today is about #AkshayeKhanna. People are mimicking his dance steps. Entertainment journalists are calling him a talent who is finally getting his due.
Meanwhile, Akshaye Khanna is in Alibaug. Alone. Away from the limelight. On his annual eight-month break. He has probably not seen a single one of these adulations.
Life will weigh you down with failure.
Life will flood you with success.
A sthitpragya is unmoved by both abuse and applause. He doesn’t perform for either. He simply remains himself.
Be like Akshaye Khanna.
It’s the best way to be.

It is a proud moment for me to state that Papa Buka has been officially selected as Papua New Guinea’s entry for the 98th Academy Awards in the International Feature Film category. As one of the producer from India, it has been an honour for Neelam Productions to be part of this co-production between Papua New Guinea and India . I feel privileged to have supported this journey and to stand alongside the creators in taking this story to a global stage.
I wish the entire team of Papa Buka the very best in achieving more accolades and bringing pride to both nations through cinema.

For hundreds of years, this village in Maharashtra stored tons of turmeric in underground pits. However, in 2019, all such storage pits disappeared. Read this long thread to know what happened:
My story for @devex
Was pleasantly surprised to find Guru Dutt's passport in the British Museum, at the pinnacle of the South Asia collection in the post-independence section. Issued in 1950, he would have been no more than 25 here, with bright eyes gazing ahead to an incredible decade…laajawab ho!
This is an unusually clear-eyed and closely reported analysis of why environmental politics isn't working, especially in Germany, where the Greens were on the ascendant until very recently and have now crashed and burned. Particularly noteworthy is the warning that progress on climate policy may inevitably lead to international conflict (p. 163). Must read.
Happy International Moon Day!
Today, we celebrate the 55th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969, when humanity took its first steps on the Moon. This milestone set the stage for space exploration and continues to drive advancements in the sector.
The Moon has influenced our culture and science for millennia. We join the rest of the world in honoring this day by reflecting on the Moon's significance in our lives and the endless Possibilities Beyond our Skies. #InternationalMoonDay #MoonLanding #Apollo11 #SpaceExploration #MoonDay
