you are born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.

@ksinamdar Fluent articulation & vocabulary can make an argument persuasive, but not necessarily sound. The real test is evidence, reasoning, credible alternatives & consequences for ordinary citizens. Does the philosophy serve nation and its people or merely oppose those governing it?

[manish pimpley @manishbytes]

@ksinamdar Nationalism need not mean unquestioning support for the govt, just as dissent need not mean disloyalty. But when opposition becomes reflexive rejecting every policy & taking every disagreement to street, the question is if it’s principled dissent or politics for its own sake.

Luv this e.g. of what community spirit can achieve. 15yr of staying clean, litter-free n plastic-free! What if every village and city made this a shared mission? The real challenge is intent n finding motivated people 2carry the mission forward. A priceless goal worth pursuing 🇮🇳

[Harsh Goenka @hvgoenka]

Babeijoda in Odisha has stayed clean, litter-free and plastic-free for last 15 years thanks to a strong community spirit.
Why not we take this as a mission in every village and every city?

When the clock is running out, some teams feel the pressure. This India creates magic under it. 🇮🇳🔥
A last-minute goal. A place in the final. And after 28 years, both the Indian men and women hockey teams are back in the Asian Games final just like Bangkok 1998. 🏑 #go4gold

@ksinamdar And are we, as ordinary citizens, losing our voice as politically motivated voices increasingly take centre stage? Perhaps it’s time to reclaim space for empathy, reason and genuine conversation before every tragedy becomes a political battleground.

[manish pimpley @manishbytes]

@ksinamdar The harder question is how our leaders, institutions and society respond to such tragedies without turning them into political tools. Empathy, accountability and meaningful reform should come first.

[manish pimpley @manishbytes]

@aparanjape Is there any data on how many of these were acted upon then and there? If the objective is deterrence, stopping the violation when it occurs would surely be more effective than initiating action afterwards.

[manish pimpley @manishbytes]

@godbole_shilpa Imagine they remove reservations. Merit-based admissions. Leading to the right people with the right skills in the right positions... Competence driving institutions, public services and businesses, and ultimately the country itself. Imagine what that could look like!

[manish pimpley @manishbytes]

What a race! 🔥🇮🇳 What a comeback by Abinaya! Best wishes to Team India for the final today. 🤞🏼🇮🇳 Bring it on!

[Sports Apna 🇮🇳 @sportsapna1]

WHAT A RACE! 😱🔥🇮🇳

India were around 4th-5th place, but Abinaya Rajarajan, the rising 19-year-old, made that final 100m INSANE! 😱

WHAT A COMEBACK! 🔥🇮🇳

[manish pimpley @manishbytes]

@godbole_shilpa A good start, definitely. More people speaking up and participating is encouraging. But perhaps too early to call it an ‘effect’. If this effort continues consistently, the real impact should become evident over the next few years. Time will tell. Looking forward. 🤞🏼

[manish pimpley @manishbytes]

@godbole_shilpa BBC News Hindi’s recycling department deserves a special mention too, why let an old 1-sided story fade when it can be reposted, repackaged n presented as breaking news? Journalism meets déjà vu. The whole channel seems remarkably hardworking when it comes to sticking 2the agenda

#GanapatiBappaMorya!
Used coke can, splash of acrylics, n Pune Ganapati spirit. My 1st attempt at painting on cans, inspired by the dhol-tasha n welcome processions. Afternoon at ShaniwarWada for Manache Ganapati walk with Pune Runners.
Recycle. Recreate. Celebrate!

it comes from the fuller verse few suggested. now it’s our turn!

[manish pimpley @manishbytes]

@docyogi1 Unfortunate but true. We're not just scr£w£d, we're letting the wrong people do nothing. Enforcement is the state's job, not ours. Until citizen will and political will show up again, 'mind your business or die' stays the only rational advice.

[manish pimpley @manishbytes]

Nagpur seems to have understood the message. Kudos to the Commissioner for taking a clear stand. The real credit will go to the administration that enforces it efficiently, effectively and impartially.

Pune administration, wake up.

[Shilpa Godbole @godbole_shilpa]

This news should have come out of Pune. Nagpur understood the message.
In Pune we are busy dissecting the messenger, his beliefs, his politics, his personality.. the ulterior motives that he could be hiding .. (insane levels of creativity).. anything but the message.
Kamaal!!

विद्यानंद बापटांना मारहाण, नारायण पेठेतील रहिवाशाचं नेमकं काय आहे म्हणणं...

श्री. विद्यानंद बापट यांना झालेल्या मारहाणीचा तीव्रतेने निषेध करते. पुणे पोलिसांनी त्वरित व कठोर कारवाई करावी. माध्यमांना दिलेली माझी प्रतिक्रिया.

@godbole_shilpa I live in a pincode where काय म्हणता? can mean hello, goodbye, disbelief, agreement, disagreement n occasionally, Are you paying for the chai? 😄
Basically, its not a ques. It’s a complete conversation with scope for followup, counterargument and, if necessary, a 2nd cup of chai!
