An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:
My dear young friends,
I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.
This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.
I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.
So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.
To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.
And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.
To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.
With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.
And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.

If I were 20 today, तो बड़े कामों से ज़्यादा ध्यान छोटे-छोटे कामों पर देता।
क्यों?
क्योंकि अपनी journey को पीछे मुड़कर देखता हूँ, तो एक बात बार-बार साफ़ होती है: छोटे काम ही बड़े दरवाज़े खोलते हैं।
मैंने बहुत कम से शुरुआत की थी। Bombay की सड़कें ही मेरा college थीं। अख़बारों में metal prices देखना, दूसरों को deals करते हुए observe करना, और जहाँ लगता था जवाब मिल सकता है, वहाँ सवाल पूछ लेना।
उन शुरुआती दिनों में न कोई बड़ी strategy थी, न कोई bold moves, बस वो काम थे, जिन्हें ज़्यादातर लोग ज़रूरी नहीं मानते।
समय पर पहुँचना, meetings में calculator साथ रखना, एक भी appointment miss न करना, ऐसे छोटे-छोटे काम।
ये छोटे काम रोज़मर्रा में दिखते नहीं थे। कई रातें ऐसी भी आईं, जब लगा: क्या इसका कोई फल मिलेगा भी?
इसलिए जब कोई मुझसे पूछता है कि कुछ बड़ा करने का secret क्या है, तो मेरा जवाब हमेशा एक ही होता है:
छोटे कामों पर ध्यान दीजिए, और देखिए कैसे बड़े दरवाज़े अपने आप खुलते हैं।
यही simple habit आगे चलकर Vedanta की नींव बनी।
@reliancejio@JioCare your interest landline service is worsen day by day. Even after complaining daily since last 7 days no response from your side and till now service is not available. Even no person is available to whom we can complain.#worstservice#jio#jiocare#reliancejio
Even though GST removed from Medical policy premium s, my @Niva_Bupa policy premium is same and SMS received from @NivaBupaSupport that pay premium with 0% GST but premium amount is not reduced.
And as usual customer service is not reachable since last 7days.
@NivaBupaSupport Can you send here the medical inflation, age slab adj. Etc. on which basis you are calculating my premium ? so can decide to proceed with you. Have never done any claim since last 12 years even though why charging more premium that what I want to know
Money buys sustainable peace of mind if you know how to spend it:
- no more stress due to an environment where things don't work, you can just move to another place where things work smoothly.
- no more stress due to a society where you have to argue all the time about nonsensical debates, you can just move to another place where people are smarter and wiser.
- no more stress due to not being able to afford rent, bills, reparations, groceries, safe neighborhood for your family, you can just afford better services.
- no more stress due to being forced to maintain relationships "just in case" - you are independent, you hang out with people because you enjoy their company, not because you might need them.
- no more stress due to being treated with a lot of contempt by the many insecure people who love to belittle and mock those who are in a position of weakness.
- no more stress due to worrying about whether you are productive enough, you can revert back to the carefree mindset you used to have as a child, you can read books for the pleasure of reading, you can follow your curiosity and learn what truly interests you, everything doesn't have to be about money.
- no more stress due to feeling imprisoned in a routine that doesn't allow you to become the fittest, smartest, healthiest, most creative version of yourself, you are your own boss, you are in total control of your time, you grow in the direction you decide.
In short, you just want the money in order to no longer have to think about the money at all.
@honda2wheelerin Baught your activa in last August & there are issues arise in Starting and vibration but as per your service station they are not covered in Free service but have to pay for it. Is this the result of Trust we have on Honda brand? Now a days your Products...1/2
are not trustable and not long lasting and your services are just money making shops. Every free service was paid service by default. #Honda2wheelerin you are not trustable as before. Will not buy your products in future. #honda#hondaindia#hondaactiva#honda2wheller
