Rohit sharma interview on jio hotstar....
On his relationship with Virat
ROHIT - I think we were together. This started, I think, when we were playing in Australia, or right after Australia when we came to India. That's when this started, and whenever this plays on TV, we look at each other and laugh. Which is good, it's fun. People want masala, so there you go, there is some masala. Both of us, we've almost started playing at the same time. I made my debut in 2007, he made his debut in 2008. And since then, we've been trying to give our best for the team. So yeah, there's a strong camaraderie between the two of us, and we understand what it requires to be at a certain level when you're playing at this level. Methods are different, obviously, but that's how it should be, every individual is different. For what he has done for the team, for this team, there is no question, there is no asking what has he done. It's there for everyone to see it. And what he is going to do from here on now, I don't think anything has changed. He'll be the same Kohli that we know of: wants to come, prepare well, go get the runs, win games for Team India. Yeah, that's what I see with him. When he was captain, pretty much the same. When I was captain, pretty much the same. And I don't see any reason why anything needs to change.
On whether he has had any conversation with Virat regarding the upcoming World Cup
ROHIT - No, no. He has been playing for so many years. Whether it's the '27 World Cup or the '23 World Cup, there's no need to explain it to him. World Cup is World Cup. And I'm pretty sure that everyone who is going to be part of the team understands the importance of a World Cup. And specially Kohli. I mean, the one who has played the most World Cups, I think in this team, it's him. He will have, yes. In this team, yes. In this team. 50-over World Cup: he played 2011, '15, '19, '23. Four World Cups he has played. This will be the fifth. So obviously, he has played the most, so he knows the importance. He knows the importance of the World Cup. So, this discussion does not happen. The discussion is about what we can do. When we are batting together, we are discussing about whom to attack, whom to take a single off, what to do. Sometimes something happens in my leg, so I tell him, "Brother, run carefully, I'm feeling something." So he is understanding that way. And, you know, such conversations keep happening. So it's been pretty fun. Nothing has changed from when we started to now. Obviously, we're different individuals in terms of how we carry ourselves on the field, but other than that, goal, thinking for the team is pretty much the same: that we have to win the match. We have to win the World Cup, we have to win the tournament, we have to win the series, we have to do well for the team. Which people can we help? That is completely the same.
On his bond and respect for Virat
ROHIT - Appreciation, appreciation if something good has happened, it has always been there from both sides. I appreciate what he has done, you know, when he took over as a captain with the Test team, especially. It was brilliant, what he did with that team. And, at the same time, there has been a lot of discussion about how both of us as individuals can improve our own game. So, sometimes if something is happening with my batting, he comes and mentions it, sometimes I mention it. So that conversation always keeps going, so it's not different. Although yes, now we meet very rarely because his house is quite far from mine. And every month, or every month and a half, an ODI series happens, so because of that it's less. Otherwise, until a year ago, every 5-7 days we were on tour, so we didn't get much time at home. Now both of us are spending more time at home, which is always nice.
Can you believe that the income of 6 small Gujarat-based parties exceeded that of national parties (minus BJP) in 2023-2024?

I do not know Prashant Kishor personally. I have no political affiliation with him or with Jan Suraaj.
But today as someone who has spent years studying Bihar's political landscape I say this with complete honesty.
Bihar has been a laboratory of political experiments for three decades. Caste arithmetic. Coalition engineering. Identity consolidation. Booth management. Every tool in the conventional political playbook has been used and reused in this state. And through all of it, the ordinary Bihari waited. For roads. For schools. For jobs. For a politics that spoke to their lives rather than their caste.
Prashant Kishor's victory in Bankipur in a fortress that had not fallen in thirty years, against the full weight of a ruling party's machinery, without inherited vote bank or party money is not just an electoral result.
It is a signal.
Whether that signal translates into the new politics Bihar deserves accountable, issue-based, beyond caste and religion only time and governance will reveal. The real test of any movement begins the morning after the victory, not the night of it.
But today on August 3rd 2026 Bihar has said something it had not said in a generation.
We are willing to try something different.
That willingness deserves respect. And it deserves encouragement.
Congratulations Prashant Kishor ji. Bihar is watching. And Bihar's expectations are not small.

"You cannot treat a 15-year-old talent like a musical chair!" — Ravi Shastri absolutely fires up the commentary box after Vaibhav Suryavanshi gets dropped for the 5th T20I🚨😡🗣️
"Listen, if you are going to pick a 15-year-old boy based on an insane IPL season and throw him straight into English conditions against Jofra Archer, you have to be ready to back him through the storms! You cannot treat a generational talent like a game of musical chairs—dropping him after scores of 14, 13, and 15 makes no sense. International cricket is a different beast, the short-ball parameters are harsh, but how is he supposed to adapt if he's looking over his shoulder after every single failure? You either give the kid a secure 10-match rope to absorb the pressure, or you don't expose him to this level so early!"
If you thought for 18 hours, consulted McKinsey, AI and gurus, and arrived at the absolutely best optimal supreme way to kill Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's confidence, and hamper the growth of the world's next absolute superstar, you would do exactly what Gautam Gambhir has done. When you kill superstars, all you'll have left is a black hole.
People often say Bihar needs a Bengaluru kind of city.
I disagree.
Why should Bihar put all its hopes into one city?
The future of Bihar should not be one megacity.The future should be an entire state designed to function like one connected city.
Imagine a Bihar where traveling from East to West or North to South is as seamless as moving between different parts of a modern metropolis.High speed roads,efficient rail networks, reliable public transport,airports, logistics hubs, industrial corridors, universities,and digital infrastructure connecting every district into a single economic ecosystem.
Patna can lead administration and services. Gaya can become a global tourism and education hub.
Muzaffarpur can drive food processing and logistics.
Bhagalpur can power textiles and manufacturing.
Darbhanga can emerge as an IT and innovation center.
Instead of creating one growth engine, let's create many.
Think of Bihar as a motherboard.A motherboard doesn't rely on a single component. Multiple specialized parts work together to create something powerful.
Today,the biggest challenge for Bihar is not the lack of talent. It is the lack of connectivity, infrastructure, and opportunities. Solve these, and Bihar's greatest strength i.e its young population will become an unstoppable force.
Most regions concentrate growth in one city. But what if Bihar took a different path?
What if every major town was connected,every district participated in growth, and the entire state functioned as one giant economic zone?
If Bihar can achieve that, the scale of growth will be unlike anything India has witnessed before.
Bihar doesn't need a Bengaluru.
Bihar can become something far more ambitious a state that operates like a single,interconnected city of over 140 million people.
And if that vision becomes reality, Bihar won't just catch up.
It will help drive India's growth for the next 20–30 years.

You know when you’re younger and you drink water straight from a bottle, and your mom calls out, “Fill the bottle up again!”?
When you’re small, you don’t get it. Why do you need to “fill it up” when you barely drank anything? You take your sip, shut the lid, and put the bottle right back in the fridge like nothing happened. Later, as a teenager, you graduate to the next stage: you stop returning it to the fridge and start leaving it on the shelf because, well, someone else will fill it up. Someone always does. That’s the whole point of a home. Invisible work happens. Someone takes care of the annoying parts. Someone puts the bottle back cold and full.
And then you leave home. Suddenly, there is no “someone.” There is just you and your empty bottles and the realisation that if you don’t fill them, no one will. You go from ignoring the emptiness to becoming hyper-aware of it. You see a bottle even close to halfway empty and you fill it up by reflex. Without thinking. Without complaint. It becomes muscle memory: see depletion, restore it.
Think of yourself as sometimes that bottle. And sometimes the person filling it. A little confusing, yes, but bear with me.
There are days when you’re the bottle, tired, depleted, drained, and you hope someone will notice and fill you back up. There are days when you grit your teeth and refill yourself because you’ve learned, often the hard way, that waiting is a gamble. There are days when all your bottles, emotional, physical, mental, feel empty at the same time, and you don’t know where to start. And there are days when you are the one doing all the refilling while someone else keeps drinking and drinking and drinking. You watch them gulp down what you’ve carefully replenished and wonder, with equal parts confusion and hurt: why won’t they fill the damn bottles? Do they not see the effort? Do they not understand the need for reciprocity? Do they not WANT cold water?
The smallest domestic rituals are often rehearsals for the rest of your life. You think you’re just dealing with water bottles, but you’re actually learning the earliest, most innocent version of depletion, care, and neglect.
You start realising, slowly and then all at once, that running on empty isn’t some grand personal failure. Bottles run out. People run out. That’s just how life works.
And you also learn that no one can help you if you’re moving through the world pretending you’re fine. From far away, every bottle looks full. Most of us become experts at screwing the lid on tight.
Refilling yourself stops feeling like a chore after a while. It becomes… habit. Survival. A way of saying, “Okay, I’ve got me. Even today.”
You notice patterns too. The people who drink and drink and never once look at the sink. That’s not tragedy. It just tells you who understands effort, and who’s coasting on someone else’s.
And somewhere along the way, you start choosing. Which bottles are yours to keep cold. Which ones can stay. Which ones need to leave your fridge, because you’re done pretending their emptiness is your responsibility.
And maybe that’s the whole point of growing up: learning the rhythm of your own depletion. Learning when to drink, when to refill, when to ask, and when to walk away from a bottle that always finds its way back to you empty.
In the end, water is simple. People are not. But the rule still stands:
Keep the bottles that come back full. Let go of the ones that only know how to take. And when you find yourself empty, don’t wait, go to the sink. Fill up. Give it time.
Come back cold.
Bihari people have the worst luck. They do the toughest jobs, keep the whole base of the economy running and still get insulted for it.
Last time they went home for festivals and elections, ask anyone in manufacturing or construction how badly work slowed down from Tiruppur to Ludhiana to Mumbai. Construction stopped, factories got hit. No one else is ready to put in that kind of hard labour for 500–1000 a day.
Respect the hardworking people, especially those whose sweat and blood keep the country standing.

What if AI could make every student a math achiever? Tonk, Rajasthan, proved it possible in just 6 weeks!
In 2024, most Class 10 students in Tonk dreamed of science—but only 12% made it. Why? Poor math, teacher shortages, and big learning gaps.
Determined to change this, IAS Officer Dr Saumya Jha launched PadhaiWithAI—an AI-powered platform that became a personalised learning companion for every student.
From solving textbook problems in Hindi or English to generating unlimited practice questions and alternative solutions, the platform made learning interactive, inclusive, and real-time.
Teachers could focus on guiding students, while AI handled repetitive tasks.
The results were extraordinary. In just six weeks, Tonk’s Class 10 math pass rate shot up to 96.4%, with more students scoring first division and above 80% marks.
While statewide improvements were modest, Tonk surged ahead, proving that focused innovation can transform outcomes.

In most cities (other than Pune) people send a private message like this to people living on higher floors of the same building; “Please water your terrace plants carefully so it doesn’t spill down.”
In Kothrud, though, it goes on a WA group of 80 members; “The 6th floor garden is so unique, it doubles as a daily waterfall for the 1st floor. While we appreciate nature’s generosity, one shower a day is enough”
So elegantly written, it could be mistaken for appreciation, by someone not from Pune.
Devastated & heartbroken to mourn the passing of my dear St. Stephen's College classmate, the iconic adman Piyush Pandey. Before he gave a voice to modern India's brands, he was a Stephanian—full of life, laughter, and an earthy wit — and (as the pic below confirms) a pretty good college cricketer as well. His ad campaigns touched millions, but it was his earthy charm and incredible wit, as well as his simplicity and directness, that defined him. We've lost a legend and a truly warm soul. My profound condolences to his loved ones — I have already spoken to his dear sister Tripti. May they somehow find peace to bear this loss.

India's luxury capital isn't Bangalore's tech hub or Mumbai's billionaire row, but a 5 sq km diplomatic accident in South Delhi
Bangalore has 12,000+ dollar millionaires
Mumbai has 92 billionaires
Yet 40%+ of India's luxury retail, Hermès, Chanel, Rolex clusters, in just two locations that lies in one place: South Delhi's diplomatic belt
It defies every rule of retail economics. Luxury typically follows wealth and depth of consumption, rather than bureaucratic zoning
Delhi began with neither
In 1953, India designated Chanakyapuri as an area for embassies. The UK got the first pick. The US got the second. Wide avenues. Strict zoning. Zero commercial chaos. Embassies brought diplomats. Diplomats brought international footfall. International footfall attracted exclusivity
By 2008, DLF bet on this frozen geography. Emporio opened in Vasant Kunj, 2 km from the diplomatic core. 70 international brands. Armani, Cartier, Dior settled in.
Not solely because of wealth, but also because of proximity to power
The Chanakya followed in 2018. Opposite the Chanakyapuri Post Office, you can find Hermès' flagship store and North India's only Rolex Boutique. Events for ambassadors became brand strategy
Today, South Delhi houses DLF Emporio (170 brands) and The Chanakya (50+ luxury brands), comprising 200+ stores within a 5 sq km area. Due to this oddity, North India holds 40% of India's $10 Bn luxury market
No wonder Delhi ranked 1 in luxury spending, ahead of Mumbai
Mumbai has wealth, Bangalore has new money, but they lack what 70 years of a diplomatic zoning accident created
Artificial scarcity and imported legitimacy powers luxury
Govardhan Asrani is no more.
I don’t even remember which movie was his last, coz he was such a permanent fixture of Bollywood that you were numb to his presence. His voice, his mannerisms were so distinctive yet so consistent, that you were so used to seeing him to the point of not noticing. Like the presence of a parent, only to notice when they go. Such a great loss. Om Shanti.
#MTV shutting it's music channels globally is sad, but inevitable. Sad, because its the end of an era. My generation, Gen X, was also sometimes called the MTV generation. I was obsessed with it when it arrived in India. Inevitable because all eras end, sooner or later.
