[Vir Das @thevirdas]

I'd like to believe a citizen on a 16day hunger strike warrants a conversation with the government whose actions brought him to that place. I say ‘a citizen’ because perhaps any citizen fighting for a cause, for students, would expect the same. Acknowledgment at some level of govt. I cannot imagine a person who wants harm to come to Mr Wangchuk. I don’t see why a mere dialogue is this hard. As a citizen, I don’t pretend to understand any sort of political manoeuvring. As a citizen, I’ve certainly been proved wrong more than I have been right. Political strategy, alliances aside, as a citizen…you cannot dispute what he is fighting for. Younger citizens. Happy to be called naive, simplistic, or ignorant. But I see students crying for help, a citizen on a hunger strike, and I request my govt to engage in dialogue.

I think there’s been a misunderstanding, when I said I wanted feedback on my writing, I meant I wanted you to tell me how great it is

In your twenties there may be love. It's very important to ignore this love and pursue a Masters instead.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India.

After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach.

This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived.

In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.

At age 19 I switched from physics to economics because I cared about people more than math and now I spend all day writing proofs and trying to make algorithms converge how did this happen???

[Gurjeet Kaur @g_kaur23]

@heeney_luke Well I switched from English Literature.

[Afrida Hussain @afridahussai]

Today at Diljit Dosanjh’s electrifying #Dilluminati concert in Guwahati, something extraordinary happened. Amidst the music and lights, Diljit paused, and in that silence, he spoke volumes.
He paid a heartfelt tribute to former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh, calling him a symbol of simplicity and grace, even while holding one of the most powerful positions in the country.

Diljit didn’t stop there he drew a sharp contrast, comparing today’s political fights in Lok Sabha to nursery school quarrels. The crowd erupted not just in applause but in reflection.
It wasn’t just a concert. It was a moment. #DiljitDosanjh #ManmohanSingh #LeadershipMatters #DilluminatiTour

Wah Sardar ji.
Kabhi kuch desh ko bataya hi nahi… aaj duniya bata rahi hai ki aap kitne bade hain.

[Priyanka Gandhi Vadra @priyankagandhi]

Few people in politics inspire the kind of respect that Sardar Manmohan Singh ji did.

His honesty will always be an inspiration for us and he will forever stand tall among those who truly love this country as someone who remained steadfast in his commitment to serve the nation despite being subjected to unfair and deeply personal attacks by his opponents.

He was genuinely egalitarian, wise, strongwilled and courageous until the end. A uniquely dignified and gentle man in the rough world of politics.

@SwiggyCares I have been told three times that you're investigating this issue. It's been more than a week now how long do you need, honestly. This is despicable!

[Gurjeet Kaur @g_kaur23]

@SwiggyCares No emails or calls whatsoever. What are you all trying to do? You have already wasted my time.
