I have lost faith in Safdarjung Government Hospital.
The hospital told us @Wangchuk66’s potassium had dropped to 2.9, describing it as alarming and life-threatening. Yet, in its public health bulletin, it conveniently omitted the actual number, referring only to "decreasing potassium levels." When after 10 hours and repeated requests, they allowed us to take samples of his blood at 10.30 pm, an independent laboratory test reported 3.5, well within the normal range.
Despite repeated requests, the hospital has refused to discharge him or allow us to shift him to a private hospital of our choice. With around 30 police personnel stationed on our floor and well over 100 across the hospital, our movement is severely restricted. It is not medical care. It is illegal detention.
If anything happens to Sonam, the hospital authorities and the government must bear full responsibility.
I have therefore moved the High Court and sought an urgent hearing today, praying for permission to shift Sonam before his health deteriorates further. No family should have to fight the system simply to choose where their loved one receives medical care.
Indian TV media is so compromised & pathetic that we find out about 100+ deaths due to rain & storms in UP from the Russian President.
In no other supposed “democracy” is the media so entirely controlled by the ruling party.
It’s beyond shameful.
A friend just sent me this delightful Extract from the book "Fools and Infantrymen" by Lt Gen Eric Alexander Vas, Col of the 9th Gorkha Rifles, and former Eastern Army Commander. There could be no more amusing statement of the best of India's religious pluralism -- and the diehard secularity of the Army.
Over to General Vas:
"When an army commander first visits the various states under his operational jurisdiction, it is customary to pay courtesy calls on the state's governor and chief minister. During my first visit to one of the north-eastern states, the Chief Minister held a public function and in his welcoming address said that the people should now feel safe as "the new army commander is a Christian".
"In my reply, after expressing thanks for the welcome, I reminded the public that my predecessor was a Jew; what he had done for the state would be difficult for me to match. I told them that military commanders operate according to military tasks laid down by the government, and we are not influenced by individual considerations of language, religion, or caste.. In conclusion, I said, "I was born a human being, by tradition I'm a Hindu, by training I'm a Catholic, by temperament I'm a Muslim, morally I'm attracted to Buddhism,and every time I have to shave I wish I was a Sikh."
Jai Hind!!

Absolutely valid reasoning. But if you disagree with the political party that provided you public positions then RESIGN your seat. Don’t defect to another political party you fought against & whose ideology you disagreed with. Means and ends must match.
The rise of social media has led to one big change. Cowards have gained courage to hide behind anonymous handles to abuse strangers, especially women. But social media also has the power to not let the abusers win. Let us support each other by rejecting online abuse.
The tragedy in Chhattisgarh is deeply painful. 20 families have lost everything. Proper compensation, livelihood support for the families, and a thorough investigation are non-negotiable.
But naming Shri @AnilAgarwal_Ved Ji in the FIR before any investigation raises serious concerns. He is a self-made man from a humble and backward community background who built a global enterprise from scratch. He had no role in that plant's operations.
When accidents happen in PSU plants or Railways, do we name the Chairman? We do not. The same standard must apply to the private sector too.
Investigate first. Establish responsibility based on evidence. Then act.
India's #ViksitBharat vision needs people like Shri Anil Agarwal to keep investing and building. That happens only when investors trust the system. 🇮🇳
Mumbai is the MOST corrupt city in India probably by a huge margin. The commercial capital of India has the worst roads (have seen village roads in almost every Indian state in the last 2 years and they are better), atrocious urban planning, & complete disregard for human life.
Absolutely delighted to hear that retired Military Nursing Service officers have finally been granted Ex-servicemen status, a long-overdue recognition of their exemplary service to the nation in war, national crises and public health emergencies.
This decision corrects a persistent inequity faced by women officers. I had raised this matter in Parliament, with the Hon'ble Prime Minister and the Hon’ble Defence Minister — and I am gratified that justice has at last been done. I congratulate the officers on this long overdue victory.
When my 77 year old Mom called this morning saying her eyes were stinging, I took a look at the air pollution levels in Greater Noida where she lives. It's worse than it was a few hours back - if this isn't an air-emergency, I don't know what is. @PMOIndia
This is very unprofessional from Skoda! When a customer raises their voice they block the customer! Is this the premium we pay for? These kind of service?
Denying claims under warranty as well? When you specifically opted for EW for peace of mind this is what you get!
Hey @MyNykaa, I just noticed I was charged ₹15.3 for a carry bag with your logo on it. Charging customers to act as your free advertising is an unfair trade practice according to multiple consumer court rulings in India. #nykaa#ConsumerRights#unfairtradepractice
Delighted to see this initiative by ten members of the US Congress. When i questioned the silence of the diaspora, it was to express concern that they were not pressing their political representatives to take a stand like this. If influential American politicians can speak up with or without diaspora pressure, it will surely have some influence on US policy. (Incidentally, five of the ten signatories here were among the political leaders our multi-party delegation met in Washington this summer!)
One tweet has exposed the rot and corruption more than anything has recently. Heartbreaking to read the stories that are coming out. The govt that came to power on the promise to stamp out corruption must support citizens and help make ‘Make in India’ more than just a slogan.
From October 1, 2025, our company will cease import/export activities in India.
For the past 45 days, Chennai Customs officials have relentlessly harassed us.
After exposing their bribery practices twice this year, they retaliated, effectively crippling our operations and destroying our business in India.
We deeply thank everyone who has supported us during these difficult times.
