2009. Mumbai. I was working with one of the city’s biggest developers.
We had just finished their flashy new Customer Experience Centre in Goregaon East. My last bit of work was this ramp - a proper bridge-like structure connecting the main road to the building. Freshly cast. Still under curing.
One random Sunday, the security guard calls me late at night, voice low:
“Sir… SB madam aa gayi thi. With her friend (read soul sister & First Lady of the Co.) They drove straight up that ramp in their car.”
My blood ran cold.
I had spent weeks making sure that structure was perfect. And now two women - one of them a national icon, had casually driven over my half-cured bridge like it was a normal Sunday afternoon joyride.
I didn’t sleep that night.
Next morning I rushed to site before anyone else. Walked every inch of that ramp. Checked every joint. Nothing. Not a crack. Not even a hairline.
She had no idea she’d almost made an engineer lose his job that Sunday. Just two friends out for a drive, stopping at a half-finished project like regular people.
That’s when I realised - some stars don’t just look real on screen. They actually live like it.
भाई डॉन @realDonaldTrump, ये औरत को तुम लोगों ने ही पाल रखा है । अमरीका में महिनों महिनों रहती है । उसे तुम लोग वीजा देते हो । बडी बडी यूनिवर्सिटी में दाखिला देते हो ।
Now that it has been established that the Ramacharitmanas presented by Ex IAS S Lakshminarayan has been safely kept inside Shri Ram Mandir, let’s understand who exactly the man is.
A senior journalist today told me this about him -
“Shri Lakshminarayan is a retired IAS officer of the Madhya Pradesh cadre. He was a close confidant and loyalist of Arjun Singh, who served as Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and later as a Union Minister for the Congress.
His loyalty was such that, while P. V. Narasimha Rao was Prime Minister and Lakshminarayan was serving as Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, he would reportedly tell almost everyone he met: “This old man (Narasimha Rao) has only four to six months left. Then my boss (Arjun Singh) will become Prime Minister.”
He was also an active member of the inner circle that supported Arjun Singh’s campaign to have the BJP’s recognition revoked by the Election Commission following the Ram Rath Yatra. I personally had ample opportunity to witness his anti-BJP and anti-RSS stance firsthand.
It is perhaps no coincidence that his tweet was publicized on Facebook by left-wing journalist Sheetal Singh and then amplified further by another left-leaning journalist known for his anti-BJP and anti-RSS views, Ramsharan Joshi.”
Patna airport is around 65000 sqm while Jodhpur airport is around 24000 sqm. While Patna is an international airport with capacity of 10 million passengers annually, Jodhpur is a civil enclave built in an airforce station to be used by 2 million passengers annually.
Perpetual victimhood wont help here

US Deep State is Working Entirely on Finishing PM Modi’s Political Credibility Inside India to create a Domestic Political Effect. At one Side through some Think Tanks and Organisations are Initiating TRAC-II to engage with Pakistan, at the Same time the Half Front Apologists have already been activated to Lobby for Restoration of the Indus Water Treaty. Another Side Pakistan has Received plethora of Military Equipments specially the AIM-120C-8 Air to Air Missiles and key Upgradation Package on F-16s, Pakistan Navy has started Receiving the PNS Hangor Class Submarine Equipped with AIP, Improved version of PL-15 from China, and upgradation of Radar and Sensor Network of their HQ-9 SAM.
Next Pakistan might get another Package from IMF as the last Package Got Completely drained because of US-Iran War. If Pakistan Gets a Package from IMF then surely Pakistan Might try a Misadventure during Amarnath Yatra just like it did in 2017.
Homebound was made to demean India by exploiting the usual fault-lines. Being sad that it failed to click with masses, Neeraj Ghaywan the director is now criticising TVF and Panchayat for not showing dalits and muslims. Bhakk Chomu 🤬
Who is this idiot who is questioning the existence of Shree Ram and making extremely derogatory remarks about Maa Sita and Shree Ram?
He was on the stage of the CJP Protest too!
Every time the 'Pakistan Premi' and 'GAZA Premi' Award Vapsi Gang comes out with different versions, it reminds me of this banger scene from Dhurandhar.
Big update: @KanoongoPriyank has ordered Delhi police to file FIR against Zion Global Worship Centre under Drugs and Magic Remedies Act
@sewanyaya had exposed how the centre was distributing pamphlets to poor telling them that accepting Yeshu as saviour and attending prayers at the centre will cure fatal diseases and automatically clear debts
After police didn’t act, we escalated the matter to NHRC
Naman to Priyank ji for his strong intervention
This is how we will dismantle the fraud miracle-healing-conversion industry
The commentary was about her social attitudes to someone lower down the pecking order. Not her “environmental” credentials. For a news anchor, your comprehension seems sorely lacking.
‘Maryada Purushottam’ is fine, but when did Prabhu Shree Ram become ‘Imam-e-Hind’??
Motor mouth Supriya Shrinate eventually exposes herself. Everytime. Not by accident, but by habit.
Don’t give yourself too much importance @ReallySwara & don’t try to give a communal colour to Umar Khalid’s or Sharjeel Imam’s arrest
Try making a speech provoking people to separate NE India from RoI at Chicken’s Neck & you will also be behind bars
#DoTook में अमोल पालेकर का झूठ हमने किया EXPOSE
अमोल पालेकर बेहतरीन अभिनेता हैं और मेरे प्रिय भी। लेकिन इंदिरा गांधी की इमरजेंसी के पाप को छुपाने और नरेन्द्र मोदी की सरकार को तानाशाह बताने के लिए आपातकाल को लेकर लगातार एक झूठ फैला रहे हैं। पर आज अमोल पालेकर का झूठ हमने पकड़ लिया। देखिए।
"My point is, the tone of threat or the kind of language that was used in front of the Jain monks, that should be used in front of the mullahs and maulvis as well at least sometimes, shouldn't it? Now, a few days ago, that maulvi Sajjad Nomani stated that Jihad is the only option. Why didn't anyone among these people speak up then? Why wasn't any anger shown to them? Why weren't they threatened? Why wasn't a stand taken to question what 'doing Jihad' means? Show some courage to speak up like that, right?" - @NiteshNRane
calls out Raj Thackeray’s selective outrage.
This 'Love Jihad' too ending in tradegy nearly 100 years ago. 💔😢
Muhammad Ali Jinnah, 42 year old lawyer, and founder of the terrorist state of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, converted Rattan Petit aka Ruttie, 16 year old daughter of Philanthropist Sir Dinshaw Petit of Zorastrian faith, to Islam and married her against the wishes of Ruttie's father.
Ruttie's 'Abdul' was no different. Ruttie died on her 29th birthday, heartbroken and abandoned.
