We've got loads of problems to solve, but we also need to appreciate how far we've gotten in less than 80 years of independence.

🇺🇸🇬🇧 King Charles let the jokes loose at the State Dinner tonight:

"Mr. President, you recently said if it weren't for the United States, Europeans would be speaking German.

Dare I say, if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French."

A clean, surgical, very British comeback.

The room loved it🤣

You remember the auction room of 2018. Some kid from Patiala, barely old enough to vote, zero first class games to his name, suddenly worth 4.8 crore. It looked like the kind of punt that destroys franchises.
7 years on, that same kid is hitting sixes like his life depends on it. Because it does.

From 2019 to 2022, Prabhsimran played just 6 IPL games. Punjab kept the chequebook open, kept him on roster, kept whispering about potential. But potential without release rots you. You spend nights in hotels carrying water bottles. You watch Gayle & Dhawan do your job. You start believing the auction price was a curse, not a blessing.

He ran to stay human. 7 kilometers, then 8. Every morning. The burning in his lungs was better than the silence of the bench.

Sachin Tendulkar told him something once; He said most boys would kill to sit where he sat. Told him to find contentment there. Sounds like advice for a monk, not a cricketer. But Prabhsimran clung to it.

Then 2023 happened. The Impact Player rule dropped. Purists screamed about death of cricket. For Prabhsimran, it was oxygen. He could swing from ball one without worrying about the collapse.

13th May 2023, Kotla. Delhi Capitals had them against the wall. He walked in & played the innings of his life. First 30 balls: 27 runs. Next 35: 76 runs. No other batter crossed even 20 runs for his team while he scored his 1st IPL century. Delhi missed the playoffs. Prabhsimran found himself.

But that is not why he bats like his life depends on it. You need to meet Sardar Surjit Singh, His father. Kidney failure. Three sessions a week hooked to machines. The house in Patiala is heavy with it. The only time the old man lights up is when his son opens for Punjab. They carry him to the couch before every game. Position the TV. For 3 hours, the sickness vanishes.

Think about that weight. Every boundary is not runs for him, It is medication. Every six is oxygen for an old man. When he says he plays for his father, he means it literally. The single joy in a week of hospital corridors & medical debt.

Come the 2025 auction, Punjab retained 2 players only. Shashank Singh & him. 4 crore for a keeper who had spent 4 years doing mostly nothing. He repaid them with 549 runs at 160 strike rate.

Shreyas Iyer gave him something simple; Freedom. Told him he was senior now. Told him one bad game would not end him. Freedom to fail.

Now he is flying. Strike rate pushing 173 this season. 80* against Mumbai off 39 balls. 51 off 25 against SRH. Each innings bigger than the last: 37, then 43, then 51, then 80*.
The boy who waited is now the man who delivers.

It was nice to catch up with Nikhil Kamath, Co-Founder of Zerodha, at #WEF2026 in Davos.
We exchanged views on geopolitics, emerging opportunities in Indian businesses, and India’s expanding influence in the global economy.

[India Global Forum @IGFupdates]

For Harsh Shah (@HarshWord), Vice President at Shree Naman Group (@ShreeNamanGroup), IGF USA 2025 has been an experience defined by inspiration, scale and possibility.

From spending time with Elon Musk and understanding his vision for the world, to witnessing the Tesla Gigafactory build a Model Y from start to finish - every moment pushed the boundaries of how technology, innovation and global leadership intersect.

Despite packed days and little sleep, the delegation’s energy remained unmatched. Meeting founders, walking through cutting-edge facilities and exploring the frontlines of technological advancement gave him a rare window into the future.

As he heads back to India, Harsh leaves with one clear takeaway: to build bigger, move faster and collaborate closely with IGF, the Indian government and industry leaders to help India leapfrog into its next phase of growth.

In 1990, Pakistan was 50% richer than India on a per capita basis. By 2030, it’ll be less than half as rich.

The lesson: free markets and institutional stability lift nations. Political chaos sinks them.

Every decade counts.

[Joy Bhattacharjya @joybhattacharj]

The stark difference between our calm & measured spokespersons like the Foreign Secretary and officers Qureshi and Singh, & the kind of rabble rousing braggadocio from top leaders in the updates from Pakistan tell you the difference between an evolved democracy and a failed state.
Very proud of the way we handled it.

On what would have been his 72nd birthday, we fondly remember Arun Jaitley Ji—a great son of India whose wisdom, visionary leadership, and ability to bring people together left an indelible mark on our economy & politics. His contributions will always be remembered.

The architect of the modern Indian economy who unleashed our animal spirits. Farewell and rest in peace, Dr. Singh.

Amazing story. #MondayMotivation

[Kausthub Gudipati @kaustats]

Shamar Joseph hailing from a village with 350 population, was a security guard until last year. It takes min two days to reach there on a boat and until last five years, there was no mobile and internet connection till 2018. Logging was the only profession, and he had a near death experience when a tree fell and narrowly missed him. Then decided to move to another place. Was a labourer and then a security guard, working for 12 hours. At best could play cricket only on a Sunday.

Debuted in this series. Bought an arm guard only three days before the Test. Yet scores 36 against the highly experienced Australian attack in Australia. Also takes a five-wicket haul on Test debut, as West Indies bowl out Australia in AUS for the first time since 2009 (forget even winning).

Australia were 113/2 chasing 215. From this improbable position, Shamar Joseph in just his second Test took 7 wickets in a SINGLE SPELL. This is despite suffering from toe injury.

WI's first win vs AUS since 2003.
That too at Gabba where only India could win in last 35 years.
That too in a pink ball Test where Australia won 11 out of 11 before.
Also after losing many players to various franchise leagues.

WHAT A STORY!!!
Against all the odds.
This is a film!

America’s top universities should abandon their long misadventure into politics, retrain their gaze on their core strengths and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning.

My take:
