Hundreds of devotees gather outside the Sunni Masjid near Bandra West railway station, transforming one of Mumbai's busiest transit hubs into a serene canvas of collective devotion. Vivid blue prayer mats stretch across the road in perfect geometric rows as the city pauses for Eid al-Adha.
In a city that rarely stands still, this is a rare and moving sight, thousands united in quiet faith, shoulder to shoulder, embodying the discipline and communal warmth that define Mumbai's spirit. Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating.
In his first speech as Tamil Nadu chief minister, Vijay said that he grew up in poverty, and that he even knows what hunger is. It's bullshit because he was my classmate in the third standard in Loyola School.
His father was a filmmaker who set up his son for a career in films.
It is possible that like most filmmakers his father may have had periods of financial strife but that's not the same as Tamil-grade poverty. A lot of affluent boys confuse being broke with poverty. Two very different things.

The Women’s Reservation Bill didn’t fail.
It was failed.
After decades of debate, the message is clear:
women are courted as voters, but denied as leaders.
Thank you to those 278 parliamentarians (we know who they are) who voted in favour of the women’s reservation bill.
देश की आधी आबादी, 70 करोड़ महिलाओं को धोखा देने और उनका विश्वास खोने के बाद कोई कैसे विजय का जश्न मना सकता है?
विपक्ष का यह जश्न हर उस महिला का अपमान है, जो दशकों से अपने अधिकार का इंतजार कर रही है। कांग्रेस और उसके सहयोगी कितनी बार महिलाओं के साथ विश्वासघात करेंगे?
कई बार विजय जैसी प्रतीत होने वाली अहंकार की खुशी, असलियत में छिपी हुई एक बड़ी पराजय होती है, जिसे कुछ लोग समझ नहीं पाते।
Despite a clear assurance by PM @narendramodi ji on the floor of the #LokSabha, the Opposition has chosen to oppose, simply for the sake of opposing, a historic Constitutional Amendment that would have guaranteed 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha & India’s Vidhan Sabhas by 2029. Shame!
Today, a deeply disturbing and disgraceful scene unfolded in the Lok Sabha.
The Congress, TMC, DMK, Samajwadi Party, and the INDI Alliance came together not to debate, but to block the passage of a crucial Constitution Amendment Bill for the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam. A bill that sought to guarantee 33% reservation for women was not just rejected, but shockingly celebrated with victory slogans.
This is not opposition politics, but a calculated betrayal of India’s women. What exactly were they celebrating? The celebration of patriarchy and the suppression of women’s rights is reprehensible, beyond imagination, and utterly disgraceful.
By stalling this bill, they have denied women their rightful representation in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies. This is not an isolated act. It is a pattern. A pattern of resisting empowerment, fearing change, and placing political insecurity above national progress.
Their mindset stands exposed, neither aligned with the interests of women nor with the aspirations of a rising India.
This insult to our Nari Shakti will neither be forgotten nor forgiven. It will travel far and wide, echoing across every constituency, every state, and every election. The women of India will remember who stood with them and who stood against them.
The political cost of this betrayal will be paid, not just in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, but at every ballot across Bharat.
Today is a historic day- the united Opposition resoundingly defeated the illegal & ill-thought out Constitutional Amendment Bill brought in the guise of a Women’s Reservation Bill.
