Twenty years ago today, I pinned on my ranks, marched out of the Air Force Academy, and became a fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force.
Twenty years. Somehow it feels like five. I think that's the quiet honesty of a life well-lived — the good years don't drag, they fly. And before you know it, you're standing at a milestone wondering where the time went, and feeling grateful rather than shortchanged.
I genuinely don't know how to express how fortunate I feel. Not in a polished, speech-giving kind of way — but in the way that catches you off guard on an ordinary Tuesday, when something small triggers a memory and you realise: this has been a remarkable life.
The IAF gave me things no classroom could. They handed me the controls of a fighter aircraft when I was still young enough to be reckless, and trusted me with the responsibility of leading men before I fully understood the weight of that.
The failures taught me as much as the victories. The friendships forged in those years are the kind that don't need maintenance — they simply endure.
Joining the IAF was part decision, part destiny. I had intention, yes — but something larger seemed to be steering. And whatever that force was, I am deeply grateful it brought me here.
To the Indian Air Force — thank you for twenty years of a life I could not have designed better myself.

Touch the Sky with Glory. Always.

@sanjaymanjrekar Well lucky you aren’t coach especially when Vaibhav didn’t do anything wrong. The Sri Lankan A players have been fined to date.

I get it but actually India were looking good for a chase until that final over. In that World Cup they had made few just 300 run chases and the runs made in that 50th over I felt deflated India a lot regardless of the great start they made because they always had to be on the attack

@IPL @BCCI
Message to BCCI and IPL

IPL 2026 has felt one-dimensional and, at times, one of the least exciting seasons in recent years. When every knockout game turns into another 220+ run fest, fans lose interest because there’s no balance between bat and ball anymore.

The IPL needs to bring back competitive cricket. Push boundaries back to maximum size to ensure every boundary is well earned, remove the wide-ball review that slows the game and kills momentum, scrap the Impact Player rule, and prepare pitches that reward both bowlers and batters equally. The most exciting games have been the low scoring ones this yet there haven’t been many of them.

Fans don’t just want endless sixes — they want tension, drama, skill, rivalries, and close contests that keep everyone hooked until the final over. Scoring circa 150 runs in 10 overs isn’t fun to watch.

Make the IPL feel special again. Make it the sporting and entertainment experience of the year, not just another batting exhibition with tiny fields and half empty stadiums.
