a few days ago, right outside my society near Fairfield by Marriott, a woman driving a car hit my bike near the zebra crossing.

i fell, hurt my leg and my bike was damaged. thankfully, nothing serious happened.

but she didn't stop.

i tried to get her attention and talk to her. she kept driving. kinda like a typical hit and run.

at that point i had to get back on my bike and follow the car simply to get the registration number. when i eventually caught up with her, i could clearly see who was driving, and i have evidence of her in the driver's seat as well.

what bothered me wasn't even the accident itself.

accidents happen. people misjudge things. maybe two people can even disagree about whose mistake it was.

but if you hit someone on a bike and watch them fall, how do you just drive away?

i eventually traced the registered owner of the car and spoke to him. i explained what had happened. he initially apologized and said he'd check.

i didn't file a police complaint.

my injury wasn't that serious, and instead of immediately escalating things, i thought i'd give them a chance to handle it like reasonable adults.

i followed up again later.

this time i was told that his wife had been driving and that apparently i had been "crossing from the wrong side" and had clipped her. 💀

except i wasn't randomly cutting across the road from some "wrong side". this happened at the zebra crossing in front of Fairfield by Marriott, right outside my society - a point specifically meant for people to cross the road.

and yes, his wife was driving. i know because i saw her, and i have evidence of her behind the wheel.

what makes the whole thing even stranger to me is that we're talking about educated, well-established people here. the registered owner of the car is a senior manager at a Big 4 firm.

you'd expect a certain level of basic responsibility and decency.

instead, somehow the fact that he said "sorry" when i first contacted him seems to have become enough. as if that initial apology means that afterward you can dismiss what happened, talk however you want, and turn the whole thing around on the person who got hit.

that's not how an apology works.

the part i still can't get over is everything that happened AFTER the impact.

she saw me fall.

she didn't stop.

when i tried to get her attention, she continued driving.

i had to follow her just to get the plate.

and days later, instead of even a simple "is your leg okay?" or "how much damage did the bike take?", the conversation has somehow become about explaining why this was supposedly my fault.

i have the registration details, evidence identifying the driver, photographs and records of the conversations afterward.

i haven't filed a formal complaint yet. maybe i will now.

not because i want to make a huge case out of a minor injury or some damage to a bike.

but because leaving someone on the road after hitting them shouldn't become normal.

whatever you think caused an accident, stop.

check if the other person is okay.

that's really the bare minimum.

Many BJP spokespersons are foolish, uninformed, and arrogant.

They do not read about or understand the issues for which the govt is facing criticism before participating in TV debates or writing on social media. The only things they specialize in are shooting the messengers and using anecdotal arguments to claim that any criticism against the govt is a conspiracy by some lobby or the deep state. To them, the actual issue is not important; it is never addressed on its merits but simply dismissed as a conspiracy against India.

Such spokespersons do not add any value to the BJP. In fact, they repel potential voters with their arrogance, superficial arguments, and refusal to engage in meaningful dialogue.

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.

He's Tukaram Mundhe, a 2005-batch IAS from Maharashtra.

Over the last few weeks, you might have heard his name. That is because he was recently appointed Commissioner of State’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since taking charge, the FDA has been on an absolute warpath, raiding illegal, fake, synthetic, and adulterated products. From synthetic milk networks and adulterated paneer to illegal gutkha and unhygienic eateries, nothing has escaped his radar.

Mundhe has made it clear that even the most famous names will not get a free pass. His department shocked Mumbai by suspending the food licenses of iconic establishments, such as the 73-year-old Marine Drive ice cream parlor K. Rustom & Co., alongside famous eateries like Shalimar Hospitality, Noor Mohammadi Hotel, and Rahmaniya Restaurant, after surprise inspections uncovered severe hygiene violations, including live pests and expired ingredients.

Such is the fear of his crackdowns that, just two days ago, dairy farmers were caught on video spilling hundreds of liters of synthetic milk after rumors of an impending FDA raid spread.

This is his 25th transfer in a 21-year career, a testament to his refusal to bend to political pressure. It makes you wonder: if just one IAS officer can bring about so much change, where would our country be if every bureaucrat were as uncompromising and proactive as him?

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Dharmendra Pradhan should go.

Javadekar, and Nishank were removed from the Education Ministry for far less than what has unfolded under Pradhan's tenure.

The govt should not worry about whether Congress will portray his removal as a political victory. Let them. They are irrelevant. The govt is answerable to students and parents, and they are increasingly disillusioned by repeated paper leak controversies, CBSE evaluation discrepancies, contentious UGC regulations, and a series of avoidable crises. In recent years, there has rarely been this level of public anger directed at the Education Ministry.

Pradhan's removal should be followed by an independent probe to determine whether tender rules were altered or interpreted in a manner that favoured Coempt Edutech, and whether any conflict of interest exists between the company and anyone associated with the Education Ministry. Public confidence in the education system must be restored.

Almost got into an accident today because of a pothole on the highway. I request BCCI to send their pitch curators to fix it before it causes a major accident.

India is perhaps the only country where real stories of Kashmiri Pandit genocide by Islamist terrorists in The Kashmir Files and IC814 hijacking, Mumbai 26/12 attack & Parliament Attack by Pakistani Jaish/Lashkar terrorists in Dhurandhar are called “propaganda” & “political”.

I hope everyone in the Indian dressing room has been made to understand what exactly it means and a little bit of history lesson on when it was last used by someone in Cricket. And what happened next #IndvSA

[Irfan Pathan @IrfanPathan]

Disappointing display of patience & technique from Indian batters. Need to get players in the test team who can play spin better.

[Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha]

There was an aura around the Indian team when playing in India. You can see it disappearing in the distance.....

[Harsha Bhogle @bhogleharsha]

Lots of places up for grabs in this Indian test team. A few players not ready for this level. Question is: how many of the rest are ready?
