The Dawood Ibrahim & The 2013 Intercepts.🚨
1/ In 2013, the IPL imploded when Sreesanth & others were arrested for spot-fixing. The public thought it was just a few greedy players. It wasn't.
2/ The Real Shock: Delhi Police played raw audio intercepts in court. The voice on the tape? India’s most wanted fugitive, Dawood Ibrahim, dictating bets from Karachi.
3/ The Theory: The players caught were completely irrelevant. The underworld didn't just fix overs; their hawala network ran deep into elite corporate and political boardrooms.
4/ When the police stumbled onto the direct link to the global terror network, the system panicked. If the true depth of the money trail came out, the IPL would be dead forever.
5/ The aftermath? A massive media circus was manufactured around a player's towel to satisfy public anger, safely shutting down the investigation before it hit the real giants. 👀

So, I am home after surgery.
Bittersweet experience.
But, you know what is bothering me? These bath wipes!
Why? Because they are available 9 packs for ₹299.
How much hospital charged? ₹530 for each pack. Full price. 😶
And you cannot imagine how many packs used in last 8 days!
Cannot even argue with someone over this because we are Fortis saar! MRP saar! Have no energy for all that now.
But, beware! In case of emergency, leave everything and first take your own wet wipes to hospital. Wish @fortis_hospital was a bit considerate for this random added cost.
Giving money for free to anyone whether it's relative or parents or brother or cousin or colleagues or even govt is a huge thing.
Taking 35% from anyone's income in a country like India where you are on your own for education, security, healthcare, pension is absolute madness.
Your father is admitted to the ICU. The hospital demands ₹50,000 cash deposit. No UPI. No cards. You run to an ATM at midnight. This is not a healthcare anecdote. This is a systemic indignity faced by millions of Indian families.
India’s Tax Trap 🤯
₹20 Lays packet = ₹4 tax ₹600 movie tickets = ₹120 tax
₹200 Popcorn = ₹80 tax
Petrol/Diesel = ₹35–42 tax per litre Buy a vehicle= GST + Road Tax + Registration Electronics = 18% GST
From eating to entertainment… tax everywhere.
Then comes Income Tax:
Earn ₹1 Crore → Govt takes up to ₹42 Lakh
After paying so much tax :
• Roads → still broken
• Infra → still worse • Govt Schools → poor quality • Govt Hospitals → overcrowded • Transport → unhygienic
And for good education & healthcare ?
Pay private sector again 🤐
Soon To Be 3rd Largest Economy 🤡
Paying for an AC cab and then having to BEG the driver to increase the AC from 1 to 2 has somehow become the new normal.
Uber/Ola/Rapido are genuinely getting out of hand -
and there is zero accountability anymore.
You pay for an AC cab.
The driver purposely keeps the AC at 1.
The airflow is terrible.
The cab feels suffocating within minutes.
Instead of cooling you down -
it just gives you a headache and makes the ride unbearably uncomfortable.
The moment you ask to increase the AC to 2 or 3 -
you get looked at with so much disgust and anger as if you’ve committed a crime.
The worst part?
We are literally paying a premium for comfort -
only to travel uncomfortably.
If drivers don’t want to run the AC properly, they shouldn’t be accepting AC rides in the first place.
The apps already have non-AC categories for a reason.
At this point, this feels less like an occasional problem and more like an accepted scam.
Basic comfort in an AC cab should not feel like a luxury anymore.
Do better, @Uber@Olacabs @rapidobikeapp.
India’s 10 Year Vehicle Scrap Rule 🤐
In countries like China, Japan & Europe cars run 30–40 years easily.
But in India?
Scrap after 10–15 years.
Even if:
✅ Engine is perfect ✅ Condition is good ✅ High-quality (Japanese) build
So what’s really the problem?
Not the vehicle… but the system
Now look at the cost of owning a car in India:
• 40% GST on ex-showroom price • Tax on loan (if financed) • Heavy registration charges • Insurance + taxes
You pay taxes at every step.
And then you’re told to scrap it early…
More Replacement = More Revenue.
SIMPLE MATH 🤡
No need to come back.
Indians must understand the difference between Bharat, the oldest unbroken dharmic civilization since the Bronze Age, and India, a modern nation-state governed by a democratic system since 1947.
Your love and gratitude for Bharat should not be weaponized as a guilt trip to pull you back to India, where merit is devalued, corruption is normalized, adulteration is rampant, civic sense is poor, pollution is pervasive, babushahi stifles efficiency, appeasement and freebies shape policy, and mobs dictate terms to democratically elected governments.
Bharat stays with you. Wherever you go, the civilization goes with you. If you want to preserve and carry forward that civilization, practice dharmic righteousness wherever you are and uphold its values through your conduct, work, and integrity. You don't have to be in India for it.
In Andhra Pradesh, we saw those who swore to protect environment ruthlessly cut down trees, destroyed forests and enabled the smuggling of our vital ecological resources for selfish gain. And then, on the other end of the spectrum, we have a humble person whose life was a total dedication to nature - Saalumarada Thimmakka, the woman known simply as the "Mother of Trees."
From a small village in Karnataka, Thimmakka and her husband found their life's purpose when they couldn't have children. They chose to raise a family of green. With pure love and daily labour, they gifted the world a breathtaking canopy, planting and nurturing over 8,000 trees, including 375 majestic banyan trees. Her life was not about seeking power or wealth; it was a vow of unconditional love to Mother Earth.
Today, at 114 years young, this legendary protector of nature has finally left us. Her life is a powerful lesson in true public service. On behalf of JanaSena, I offer my deepest respects to the great Saalumarada Thimmakka.
We have lost our mother of Trees, but her spirit remains with us. She continues to inspire us all to work toward environmental conservation, to plant trees in our communities, and to become the responsible citizens our planet desperately needs.
