This is a searing and beautiful piece of writing. Gave me pause and a lot to think about today. Not sure if the author - an IPS officer is on X - but thank you for this https://t.co/gVmF9CRBS8

Genuine Winner of #AssemblyElections2026 is none other than #PronoyRoy @DeKoderAI . He is back with his class, composed and confident. All the best for his kind of journalism.

There was a time when stardom was a fortress. In the 90s, Ruby Bhatia wasn't just a VJ; she was the electric pulse of a new, liberalised India, reportedly commanding Rs 1 lakh per show. Rahul Roy wasn't just an actor; he was the face of a generation’s collective heartbreak, the Aashiqui boy whose silhouette defined romance and whose haircut was the bestseller in every saloon. Govinda? He was—and is—the undisputed king of the masses, a comic genius who could make a cinema hall shake with a single pelvic thrust.

Fast forward three decades, and the fortress has been dismantled by the relentless, voyeuristic machinery of social media. Today, these icons find themselves under the harsh, unforgiving glare of a "content-hungry" digital mob that mistakes struggle for failure and evolution for desperation.

Recent headlines have taken a perverse pleasure in dissecting Ruby Bhatia’s career shift. Yes, the woman who once defined "cool" is now a life coach charging Rs 3,000 for a six-month program. To the keyboard warriors, this is a "fall from grace." To any sane mind, it is a woman finding meaning after a nervous breakdown, choosing to make mental health accessible to the masses rather than gatekeeping it for the elite.

Similarly, Rahul Roy has been subjected to the "cringe" treatment for appearing in social media reels with unknown creators. The internet, in its infinite cruelty, ignores the fact that this man is a brain stroke survivor. He is fighting aphasia, paying off legal debts that predated his illness, and trying to "stay active" and work for as long as he is alive. When he asks his trolls to find him "decent work" instead of mocking his reels, he isn't showing desperation; he is showing a spine of steel that most "influencers" couldn't dream of possessing.

Then there is Govinda, the man who once gave the Khans a run for their money, now frequently seen performing at school annual days and weddings. The "dark shadow" of social media brands these "small shows," as if the size of the stage dictates the stature of the legend. Govinda’s response is a masterclass in humility: "I never let my ego influence my work." Whether it’s a Chief Minister’s event or a local school function, the man dances because he is a performer. There is more dignity in one of his "wedding steps" than in the entire collective output of a thousand anonymous trolls.

Social media has birthed a generation of spectators who believe that unless you are at the absolute zenith of your power, you should vanish into the shadows. We have become a culture that feeds on the "tragedy" of the legacy act.

But here is the truth: There is nothing sad about a veteran getting up and going to work. There is nothing "cringe" about an icon refusing to be defeated by a health crisis or a shifting industry. The desperation doesn't belong to Ruby, Rahul, or Govinda. The desperation belongs to the social media ecosystem that needs to tear down giants just to feel tall.

Robert De Niro: “It’s time to say no to kings. It’s time to say no to Donald Trump. We’ve had enough. No corrupt leader enriching himself and the Epstein class buddies. Trump has to be stopped. He can’t do all the fucked up things he’s been doing without the collusion of Congress and the goons in his administration”

The worst thing that we can go through is war. History has shown us time and again that war is / was never the answer, yet wars continue. How can a human being be liberated through loss & grief?#iranisraelconflict #freedomfromwar #stopwar

Suggestion for Lilavati hospital. Everyday there’re 15-20 patients outside the Anaesthesiologist’s cabin at @LilavatiHRC. The Anaesthesiologist gives approval for admission & is available only for 2 hrs, Why can’t the hospital get 2/3 Anaes’s to reduce the bottleneck, beats me.
