What is the difference between the first set of people who left AAP, and the latest set of seven people who have left AAP to join the BJP? The first set of people left when Kejriwal compromised the principles on which the party was set up. The second set led by Raghav Chaddha enjoyed all the perks of power, including being nominated to the Rajya Sabha. They have joined the BJP with pure opportunism bereft of any principles

Neeraj Chopra almost didn't happen.

Not because of corruption. Not because of incompetence.

Because of a file that in summer noon of 2011 could have gone upward, a committee that could have met, and a season that could have passed.

One official decided instead. Same afternoon. No precedent. No committee. Rs 1 lakh for javelins.

Refer. Defer. Wait. He didn't.

The boys were practising by the evening at Panchkula athletic track. They did so there for next five years before moving to more competitive circuits.

One of them did exceptionally well. India got an #Olympic gold.

We blame governance failure on corrupt officials. Or incompetent ones.

There is a third failure — the honest, competent official who has learned that deciding is more dangerous than not deciding.

Kahneman showed people feel losses twice as powerfully as gains. The status quo is the system's default — and the official's shelter. The harm of his action is traceable to him. The harm of his silence is traceable to no one.

So he refers. Defers.
Performs just enough to stay invisible.

I call it rational abdication.

It is costing India more than corruption ever did. And it can be fixed by making inaction visible and bonafide mistakes absorbable.

Read my article in #Dailyworld

The Neeraj Chopra story is the lucky version. You have been that citizen whose file went upward and never came back. What was yours? Tell me. ⬇️

BJP will win Bengal and transform Kolkata just like it has transformed Bhopal, Patna, Kanpur, Prayagraj, Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon...and many more. These cities with Triple Engine Govts are free of garbage, no potholes, good air quality, zero crime, and above all no gundagardi.

India has almost 800 districts but just 9 districts in 3 states account for over 35% of all exports in India.

My take on the Booker Prize Winner : Flesh by David Szalay @TheBookerPrizes

Okay! (the book says this a lot). And “okay”, as we know, says everything and nothing. It can mean boredom, passive-aggression, existential shrugging, or a reluctant burst of energy. It’s gloriously opaque.
What did you say?
Okay?
Okay then.
But I digress.
This is about the book.

Son of a businessman gets into a scuffle with the police when a VIP liquor party in Surat busted by police.
What action do you think was taken against the youth?

Nothing.

I wonder why everybody has assumed that the lady "appears" to be a househelp. I think she only "appears" to be a lady

🤢 CAUGHT IN 4k

Collegium selected Judge forgot he was live and sexually exploiting a court worker.

Nobody is coming to save you. What a gut punch of an ending.

The pedestrian did what everyone feels like doing when that happens.

[Anuj Aggarwal @aggarwalatbar]

Just finish your drafts, read your judgments, make your notes, and try to help your peers, juniors & people who genuinely need it. Stop theorizing. You knew what you were getting into. No point keep harping about what privilege other enjoy. It won't increase urs or reduce theirs.

[ritwik @IndieKnopfler]

I've lost the ability to do something I've always loved - watch films. The whole struggle of trying to build a career made me lose the only thing that was actually personal to me.

I still watch films, but it feels like a burden. I'm a defeated cinephile.

[Punit Pania @Punit_Pania]

Can't expect 80 crore Indians living on ration to behave like the 2% who own the entire country.
Addressing why so many people need addictions to get through life is too much for a theocracy to attempt but govt could easily ban the most harmful tobacco products, if they wanted to

[#YeThikKarkeDikhao @YTKDIndia]

🚨 South Delhi’s “posh” footpaths.

Doctors, lawyers, educated elites — all parking cars on pedestrian space.

Govt fails to enforce. Citizens fail to care.

Result: No Basic Urban Dignity.

Both Govt & people are equally guilty. 🙏

[Sumit @unrealsumit]

Literally the only city in India that follows proper queue etiquettes. A high trust society and that’s why goated city. Nothing, literally no other city in India comes close

We need more metros, buses, cleaner roads, more pedestrian infra. What a beautiful sight to see Metro 3 open. But we want so much more @Dev_Fadnavis

[Vishal Bhargava @VishalBhargava5]

No political player deserves to be at the inauguration of this Metro Line - than @Dev_Fadnavis
Against all odds - got this project kickstarted and kept the momentum. Then watched it get derailed from the sidelines. It's fitting it is being opened when he is back in power.

@CiteCase SC is oblivious of the ground realities. If trial courts are forced to examine witness on day to day basis, the entire system will choke and collapse. Every strict direction of SC is for trial courts but none for HC or itself.
