Going home to see my parents, it’s been more than a year since I last met them. They've suffered a lot over the last 15 days and had to leave home because of threats. Will be taking them back to home.

FYI, today’s protest was just a trailer. Thank you for showing up in such huge numbers! ❤️

The Torch Passes. The Shield Remains.”

Admiral Dinesh Tripathi made his final call on the Prime Minister before passing command to Admiral Krishna Swaminathan. No ceremony could capture what the moment held, the weight of service rendered & the quiet confidence of a legacy left in worthy hands.

Under Admiral Tripathi, the Indian Navy didn’t just sail. It stood sentinel. Operation Sindoor said what diplomacy couldn’t. A new India has risen. One that absorbs no insult, tolerates no terror. And when pushed, retaliates harder.

Admiral Swaminathan steps forward with measured words & steady eyes. Calm. Composed. Precise. Do not mistake the stillness for silence. Behind every diplomatic sentence runs a current of steel.

Pakistan’s self-proclaimed army chief, General Asim Munir, would be wise to read what lies beneath the surface. India’s Armed Forces do not rattle sabres for applause. They sharpen them in silence. They act when it matters.

As veterans, we don’t cheer from the sidelines. We carry the pride of having worn that uniform. And we know, better than most, what it means when India says-enough. The shield of Bharat is held by steady hands. It always will be. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

🚨 #Fakenews #Pakistani handles. This fabricated story is baseless propaganda. Zero connection to me. This is classic ISI-style #cognitive #warfare — manufactured sleaze, filth on social media to try to divide us.They can’t face us at sea, so they try on social media. #LOL!

If there one service that has been makes 0 sense to me so far is CREW by @Swiggy. It makes absolutely no sense. I needed a photo frame today and after 18 hours of trying to figure it out I was told that it'll take 15-20 days. I then ordered it off Blinkit.

Citizens are speaking out now... we need to change our approach to delivery of governance. Shape up or ship out seems to be their call. Lets all shape up. Quickly. ⁦@IPS_Association⁩ https://t.co/xYJCKOl4MW

@Moochikal @Rads0071 Not worth your time, sir. We know that the Navy is blessed to have Adm Swaminathan at its helm and NWWA to be led by Mrs Swaminathan. Their children are a reflection of their own pristine value system!

Wishing the Indian Navy the very best under the leadership of its new chief - Admiral Swaminathan! Fair winds and forever शं नो वरुणः 🫡

As part of a CSR initiative, M/s Bharat Forge presented an Advanced Life Support (ALS) Ambulance to the Indian Navy. On behalf of the Navy, Vice Admiral CR Praveen Nair, Controller Personnel Services formally accepted the ambulance from RAdm Sanjay Vadgaonkar (Retd) Principal Advisor, Bharat Forge.

The state-of-the-art ambulance is equipped with modern life-saving equipment including a ventilator, infusion pump, oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrator, defibrillator, foldable stretchers and other essential emergency care facilities. Inducted into the fleet of critical care vehicles at INS India, the ambulance will go a long way towards benefitting the large naval community at Station Delhi, comprising naval personnel, veterans and their dependents.

This is Sarthak Sachdeva.

He allegedly faked a hand injury, went to the Air India counter and asked if he could get a free upgrade to first class because of the injury.

Air India upgraded him all the way to Business Class. Premium seat, complimentary food.

Now he is saying it was a Social experiment.

But fraud is fraud.

If people start doing this and still get rewarded, many others will copy it. Airline staff may stop trusting real passengers who actually need help.

Air India should charge him for the upgrade and make it clear this is not okay.

INS Ranjit got decommissioned 7 years ago. To witness the decommissioning of one of the world's greatest destroyers was truly phenomenal. And to have my dad command her was truly special!
Have some really beautiful moments captured from her decommissioning.
