To all those piling on @VFSGlobal: I don’t want to wait outside consulate/embassy pavements to file a visa application.
VFS offered an easier, comfortable way out. Yes, it cashed in on anything that could be priced. That’s the nature of any business.
I honestly hope that I am not sent back to a pavement outside a foreign Mission. I hope VFS survives this scandal.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
When the United States decides to allow India to purchase Russian oil for just 30 days, it raises a fundamental question. Why should India need another country’s approval to secure its own energy needs?
Equally troubling is the sinking of the unarmed Iranian warship IRIS Dena by the United States soon after it participated in the International Fleet Review 2026 naval exercise hosted by India in Visakhapatnam. When a ship that came to India as part of a multinational exercise meets such a fate, India cannot appear silent or passive.
The Union BJP Government looks totally compromised on India’s long standing tradition of strategic autonomy and an independent foreign policy. India’s dignity in the international arena needs to be protected and the nation’s sovereignty and interests need to be defended.

I was born in 1959.
I am seeing every 5 yrs a worrying shift in parenting to pampering. This video is in Tamil. Regarding #KarurStampedeTragedy when courts, police, politicians and public are searching for reasons for this tragic loss of innocent lives this video is an eye opener.
Heard it many times. My advise to parents is : “parent ! Do not pamper”.
If children are your assets exercise some control if not full control to put them in track.
Expecting abuse by retarded brains I have limited the rights to respond. Sorry about it.
Just read and discuss with your spouse. Digest the bitter truth.
‘Hindi Imposition’ is not what you think. The real victims? They can’t even speak up. #MustRead 🚨
The debate you're seeing all over India about ‘Hindi’ isn't the real pain point. In fact, it's distracting from what actually matters.
From a tribal child in a forest village to a first-gen student chasing a govt job, it's their future that's getting crushed, quietly.
It’ll take you 2 mins to read this, but it’ll change how you see the whole issue👇

In Karnataka, a woman claimed to be possessed by a deity, performing superstitious acts, until an elderly man intervened, exposed her, and urged villagers to reject this kind of Godman or woman.
Much appreciation to Oldman’s Wisdom ❤️

🎓 I had the privilege of addressing the young graduates of Trinity Laban as their Honorary President.
🎶 From my first trinity music exam in Chennai when i was 13 to this moment, life has truly come full circle.
As an Indian artist, I stand on the shoulders of giants who have shared our stories through melodies. This honour from Trinity reminds us of what music teaches us: borders 🌍 and biases are mere illusions. Through a common purpose and love , we can overcome divisions.
✨ To the graduates: What defines you is not just your talent but the courage to stand out and the choices you make. These are irreplaceable.
Thank you, Trinity Laban, for this incredible honour. As we say in India, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—the world is one family.
எல்லா புகழும் இறைவன் ஒருவனுக்கே!

Hindi did nothing for this country! But our mother tongue & English did!
You have no need to worry about Uniting India.. because We are already United for 75 years!

The same scene, across three languages:
Revathi & Karthik, Mouna Raagam (Tamil, 1986)
Neelam & Chunky Pandey, Kasak (Hindi, 1992)
Prema & Shiva Rajkumar, Chandrodaya (Kannada, 1999)
What monumental difference in staging, acting, and most importantly the power of background music (Ilayaraja, Rajesh Roshan, and Hamsalekha, respectively).
Any emergency helpline for Zomato riders is a joke. There is no mechanism.
Today, while walking towards Chanakyapuri, two cars hit a Zomato rider on an e-scooter back to back, both the cars fled & we couldn't note their numbers.
Some pedestrians stopped along with an..1/n
