There’s a Muslim guy in my neighborhood who also studies at my college.
Last night, he kept messaging me on Instagram. At first, I ignored him, but then I thought, Let me reply and see what he wants.
After I replied, he started talking about college-related stuff. After a while, he said, “Aaruhi, I really want to go to Garba. I’m Muslim, so I probably won’t get entry, and I don’t have a partner either. Can you help me get entry with you?”
I said, “Yes, why not? Come with me, I’ll take you along. But bring your two sisters as well, because I have two Hindu friends who are also single. They can play Garba with your sisters.”
He got angry over this.😂
Apparently, they want to play Garba and hang out with Hindu girls, but when it comes to their own sisters, suddenly they have a problem.😐
From another Captain
Capt Smit, something happened yesterday on my flight to Yerevan which honestly stayed with me.
When I stepped out during refuelling, the refueller asked me where I was from. I told him I’m Indian.
He just came up, hugged me and then gave me a salute.
I honestly can’t explain what that felt like. Standing there in another country, in my pilot uniform, and having someone show me that kind of respect simply because I’m Indian… it genuinely gave me goosebumps.
And my immediate thought was — this is because of you.
The way people look at India today, the respect Indians are getting around the world, and especially the way Indian pilots are being seen when we represent our country… I feel like something has really changed.
And I want you to know that I’m genuinely grateful to you for being a part of that change.
Sometimes we see things from far away and don’t realise the impact they’re actually having on ordinary people like us. But yesterday, that hug and that salute made me feel it personally.
That guy probably had no idea what that moment meant to me. But I walked back to the aircraft feeling incredibly proud to be Indian — and incredibly grateful to you.
I just felt I had to tell you this.
And most importantly, wishing you a very speedy recovery!

Shivaji Park Flop Show Over. 🪳Dipke left without "trying" to set up camp as at Jantar Mantar.
And..Bhikhari 🪳s start fighting within themselves😂
2🪳 groups—Punches, Slaps & even shoes flying at each other. Reason unknown but maybe over free food to be picked up from dustbin.
Rajdeep Sardesai:
🗣️ “Congress is losing because of its organisation.
> When it won MP, Raj, & CG in 2018, what did it say about EVMs?
Today, it targets the Election Commission. Perhaps Congress should look in the MIRROR too.”
Rahul Gandhi is fighting a battle against Akhilesh Yadav in Uttar Pradesh to bargain for more seats in alliance.
AAP and SP by not attending the meeting called by Congress have exposed Rahul Gandhi's call for "Opposition Unity" on SIR.
SIR is just "Bahana", Earlier it was " EVM", tomorrow it will be something else.
Congress can try to relaunch Rahul in 100 different ways: 2029 People of India will chose PM @narendramodi
Janta ki rai aur AAP ki sachchai—zameen par tasveer kuch aur hi hai! 😏
Pata nahi kyun jhooth pe jhooth bolte hain, jabki ground reality bilkul vipreet hai.
Janta sab dekh rahi hai… aur waqt aane par jawab bhi degi. 🇮🇳
