Since this seems to have stuck a chord with a few people on FB and Instagram, thought might as well put it out here in Twitter in case it helps anyone. My fitness journey of dropping 30 kgs and reducing waist size by 8-10 inches coming up. Thread 1/6 #weightlossjourney #fitness

29 May 2016. We were there with all hope and excitement at the Chinnaswamy! The fireworks went off, but not for RCB! Didnt know then it would be 9 more years untill RCB plays a final again. Hopefully things turn out differently today. Go RCB #believe #RCB #IPLFinal

Yashaswi Jaiswal - A generational talent. Locked and Loaded for the next 15 years if he can keep his head clear - which he has already shown plenty of signs in his short career!

#BGT Let's go. Surprising team selections, but fully behind all the youngsters. Rooting for them irrespective of what happens in this match.

WHAT CAN MEN DO TO HELP

I have been struggling to find words about the heinous and tragic crime of sexual violence and murder of a young doctor in Kolkata, and have only been amplifying stories of women & medical professionals so far.

But looking at the comments in so many posts of women, I’ve been horrified & disturbed.. but sadly not surprised. Hundreds of men have, as usual, chosen to respond with ‘Not all men’, ‘Men get raped too’, ‘Fake feminism’, ‘Victim card’, ‘Attention seeker’ and so on.

They are going to attack this post too, and I’m not sure if there’s any easy way to fight that mindset, so this post is aimed at the other men: who are feeling deeply uncomfortable today, and aren’t sure what men can do to help. As it turns out: we can do EVERYTHING.

Aman Sehrawat wins bronze in the men's 57kg category at the Olympics. He beats Darian Cruz of Puerto Rico 13-5 in the medal playoff.

Aman is the 5th Olympic medallist from Chhatrasal akhara which is to Indian wrestling what La Massia is to football.

For Aman though Chhatrasal isn't just a finishing school. It's home. Orphaned at 11, he was left here by his uncle. He's never left. Now he will be part of it's hall of heroes.

Aman Sehrawat keeps the Indian wrestling flame alive. Bronze medal with a fantastic final bout. #Paris2024

Neeraj proves again why he is without a doubt the most elite sportsperson that India has ever produced. Phenomenal throw to get the silver. Nadeem just pulled out some superhuman stuff today. Have to just stand up and salute that. So proud of you @Neeraj_chopra1 #Paris2024

[Nikhil Kulkarni @nikhilkulk]

What a team. Full of heart and grit. Second consecutive medal in two Olympics. Phenomenal. Fitting way for legend @16Sreejesh to finish. #Paris2024

A year of protest against the federation chief.
Slept on pavements for 40 days.
Was beaten, dragged by the police.
Nearly immersed all her medals in the Ganga.
Underwent knee surgery.
Sealed her Olympic spot after an unforgiving qualification process.
Became the 1st Indian woman wrestler to qualify for three successive Olympics.

And now, she's beaten the unbeatable defending champ, won two more bouts to become the first Indian woman to reach a wrestling Olympic final.

Words fail to appreciate what Vinesh Phogat has just done.

Manu Bhaker. What a superstar. Cool and composed. @realmanubhaker Second bronze medal. Fantastic #Paris2024

[Nikhil Kulkarni @nikhilkulk]

Finally! After 13 years. Kohli, Axar and Dube set it up beautifully. But this victory belongs to Bumrah and Pandya. What a comeback in the last 4 overs. India World Champions!

15 years of silent consumption on this mostly weird and partly fun place. #MyXAnniversary

[Nikhil Kulkarni @nikhilkulk]

The morning after. Still can't believe what this team has achieved in the last 3 weeks. Magical. Once again irrespective of what happens here after this, this performance is one for the ages. #RCB #Believe

[Nikhil Kulkarni @nikhilkulk]

Irrespective of whether qualification happens or not eventually, this is a fabulous run from RCB after 6 straight losses. One for the ages.

[Nikhil Kulkarni @nikhilkulk]

Not just scraping through, but the comprehensive margin of victories. Mad run this. Onto #5 on the table. #Believe
