Every Sports fan deserves such moments of pure joy. Their corresponding sports team is obligated to do it for their fans. 2027 World Cup. 🙏

Indian Jugaad at its best! This man could have built a successful business around his “secret formula”. In the US he would have filed for a patent! Instead he’s sharing his technique for free on social media! His roof coating reduces in-home temperatures by upto 15 degrees with an investment of less than 1 Rs per square foot.

One thing this crisis showed us as Emirati … our expatriate population living here in the UAE truly love us more than anything.

THANK YOU for standing up for the UAE … you once again won our hearts & minds

❤️

Amazing that the same side, South Africa, both dismantled Indian aspirations and gave them fresh hope within 5 days.
Tells you why stereotyping a team, in ads or the media, is such a bad idea.

8.45 am - Peak Rush Hour - people rushing to work, airports. There’s a sprawling four lane coastal road which can easily handle all the traffic including a ministers convoy. But NO!! It must blocked out and left empty - Cause of protocols. Seriously!!!!
Can we raise bills for damage caused by unadvertised VIP movement? Flights, penalties, challans? Only fair ….

Honestly, every time I think Star cannot lower the bar, they somehow manage to do it.

Every. Single. Time.

[Pratyush Halder @pratyush_no7]

I really wish Star Sports to lose the Broadcasting rights of ICC Tournaments and IPL asap.

First 300 Drama, now these Cringe ads, bootlicking 2-3 individuals and 1-2 big teams.

0 creativity. 0 Nostalgia. 0 depth in cricketing discussions.

I know they'll bring this cringe fest in the Tata IPL too, hiring random influencers for promotions.

They're just ruining the vibe of this great sport.

[Joy Bhattacharjya @joybhattacharj]

Hey Star Sports. These ads are condescending, not close to being funny, and put pressure on the team and its fans.
Please desist.

Deleting tweets doesn’t change reality @AshwiniVaishnaw - you have made India a laughing stock. Quit the chair if you can’t do your job. Maybe join Galgotia as Professor of Spin?

Day 1 of the AI Impact Summit turned to be a pain for us.

I came genuinely excited, it was the first time the summit was being hosted in India, and I wanted to show up personally to support the ecosystem and the government’s push.

But what happened next was shocking.

At 12 noon, security personnel arrived to sanitise and cordon off the area ahead of the visit by PM Modi visit at 2pm.

I explained that we’re building India’s first patented AI wearable at NeoSapien and requested a chance to showcase it.

One officer told others to let me stay, and they left.

Then another group came and ordered us to leave immediately. Seemed like there was lack of co-ordination between the security itself.

I asked: “Should we take our wearables?”

They said, others are leaving even laptops behind, security will take care.

Trusting them, I left. Hoping that the wearables will be safe, and If I am lucky, it might catch the eye of PM Modi.

Gates were closed from 12–6pm. Much much longer than expected.

Later we found out that our wearables were stolen.

Think about this: We paid for flights, accommodation, logistics and even the booth. Only to see our wearables disappear inside a high-security zone.

If only security and official entourage had access, how did this happen?

This is extremely disappointing.

A 1 crore earning techie's life has no value in Bengaluru.

And if you're not earning that much? Your life has even less.

My sister and her friend were driving home in my car. They stopped at a red light - the logical thing anyone does. A drunk driver in a mini-truck didn't feel the need to stop. He slammed into them instead.

I know he was drunk. She knows it. The highway police knows it. The truck owner knows it.

No arrest was made.

The truck driver never showed up at the station. The owner never showed up. Nobody cared. My sister and her friend - both injured, both terrified - kept going back to the station, back to the accident site, explaining what happened over and over, just trying to get a report filed.

I was in the US. All I could do was talk to them on calls, helpless.

Here's what the police told them:
"If nobody died, an FIR doesn't make sense."
"Just claim first party insurance."
"Third party insurance doesn't pay much anyway."

And then, quietly, one officer pulled them aside and told the truth: "These truck mafia bribe us. Nothing will happen."

Nothing happened.

The truck was KA04 AE6550. The police themselves said if they'd been on a two-wheeler, both would be dead.

We had 100% insurance from Reliance. Claim rejected. Reason? "Misrepresentation of facts." These two, even while injured, kept showing up to represent the facts. Reliance still found a way to deny them.

The law says if someone hits you from behind, the person behind is at fault. It was a red light. How does a truck driver not see that?

Trust me, this isn't about money. I'll manage the repairs and the medical bills. I have savings. And I have a decent credit score; I'll take a personal loan if I have to. That's not the point.

The point is this: my sister is afraid now. Afraid that anything can happen to her at any moment and there's no one - no system, no law, no institution - that will protect her.

But how do I tell her the world is supposed to be fair? How do I tell her to trust the system? How do I explain that the drunk driver walks free, the truck owner was never questioned, and the police pocketed their bribe and closed the file?

I can't say to any official, "What if this was your daughter? Your sister?" Because their daughters travel in cars with security escorts. They will never know what it feels like to be ordinary and unprotected.

So I'm saying it to you, an ordinary reader.

You're on the road. You stop at a red light. A drunk driver in a truck rear-ends your car. Your loved one is inside, terrified.

And then you learn: there is no recourse. None.

The truck owner pays off the cops. The insurance company rejects your claim. The system shrugs.

This is Bengaluru in 2025. This is India in 2025. This is what your life is worth here.

One more thing. The friend in the car? He's one of the smartest people I know. close to top 100 rank in IIT-JEE. AI engineer and one of the biggest data companies. At 23, he is valuable to be paid more annually than the cost of five such trucks, that too, in India. He's patriotic. He pays his taxes. He stays in India even though he constantly gets offers to move to the US.

This is the confidence our system gives to someone who is clearly an asset to this country. All this unfairness - for a drunk truck driver.

@blrcitytraffic @BlrCityPolice - tell me. I've always avoided raising fingers publicly. But what else can I do?

We, @zerodha, have ~40k NRI customers with an average account value of ₹40L, nearly 10x our overall average of ₹3.6L for resident accounts. Most of them opened accounts the hard way, with physical paperwork. If onboarding were fully online, this base would be much larger.

SEBI recently made changes that have allowed us to significantly simplify Non-PIS NRI accounts: they now work like resident accounts, with fully online Aadhaar-based onboarding (when visiting India) and intraday, BTST, and F&O access with no need for a CP code. We've also reduced the brokerage from ₹100 to ₹50 per order.

For context: NRIs can open NRO (without PIS) or NRE accounts to invest in India. NRE accounts allow repatriation of funds to your country of residence, but are more complex to operate. NRO (Non-PIS) accounts are simpler to open and operate, though repatriation is capped at USD 1 million per year.

Hoping to see more NRI capital flowing back into Indian businesses.🤞

This is Anand Vihar Railway Station

It is one of the largest and busiest stations in the Delhi NCR

it’s so dirty, with a pukeworthy smell and gutkha stains everywhere.

And when some gora YouTuber comes and makes videos, Indians start crying.

Dear @Dev_Fadnavis @CMOMaharashtra - isn’t it time to think of a CEO for Mumbai? The @mybmc commissioner- sorry to say- is not working out! Quality of air, life, traffic, encroachment- all have gone downhill under him! Now the BJP is in charge and requires new thinking!! Time that @mybmc @MMRDAOfficial @mhadaofficial & @BEST worked to a common plan for the citizen! How about doing something different? Folks- if you agree please like, share and support!! #Mumbai needs change!

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

People from Bhopal met People from Mumbai in Davos to have a meeting.

Funny thing is people from Bhopal came to Mumbai to catch the same flight.

[Dr Nimo Yadav 2.0 @DrNimoYadav]

He is Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra.

He was born into a Brahmin family in Maharashtra.

few days ago, he told Maharashtrians that he was going to Switzerland, where he would meet big investors and bring investments to Maharashtra.

Many Maharashtrians started saying what a great leader Devendra is.

Devendra reached Switzerland, enjoyed the snowfall and clean air, and spent some time on leisure.

After enjoying himself, he met the investor and signed an MoU.

Do you know who the investor was?

The investor was Lodha Group Ltd.

The same Lodha Group whose owner, Mangal Prabhat Lodha, is a BJP MLA and the Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship in Fadnavis’s cabinet

The Lodha Group’s headquarters is in Mumbai and it is an Indian company.

Welcome to New India 🇮🇳
