@Fahadnaimb I am supposed to fly kolkata - Dubai - Amsterdam on 15th March, what are the chances that the flights would be operating a week from now ??
A historical opening speech by @ZohranKMamdani showed only courage and determination can take a corrupt system on. Lots of respect for you - you show the hope through these difficult times. #Inspiring
A perfect Indian champion- exemplifies determination and resilience! Gukesh wins world chess championships and India wins a million chess lovers - tears are hard to withheld, what a fulfilling moment for chess and sports lovers ❤️
Thank you sir @jawharsircar for your action, conscience is mostly lost in the murky world of political power and happy to know moral compass still prevails in the current adverse political system.
I am quitting as MP primarily because of WB government’s faulty handling of the most spontaneous public movement following the terrible rape-murder case at RG Kar Hospital.
Quitting politics— to be with the people in their struggle for justice.
My commitment to values unchanged
You three have made given joy and glory to billions through your combined careers. All three of you represent different methods and styles, guys you are special in different ways 🙏🙏🙏
@kripalamanna @airvistara Vistara’s food quality has been deteriorating severely over the years. It is honestly terrible - badly served, not tasty and cheap quality packaging. This impacts negatively on the image of the airlines!

A prayer for India and the world in 2024.
*EC needs to be a genuine neutral umpire with a spine .
* Courts need to protect citizen rights and freedoms.. less talk, more action .
* Parliament needs to be a forum for healthy debate, not majority diktat.
* Manipur urgently needs a healing touch to build bridges between communities .
* Ram Temple must be about faith and not politics. Religion must unite and not divide .
* Build more quality schools, universities and hospitals and fewer statues, memorials, renaming of roads.
* Govt exams must be free of corruption and paper leaks; demographic dividend can’t become a demographic disaster .
* Income inequalities need to be addressed on priority: invest in skilled job creation, not more caste based reservations and Pre poll hand outs .
* life of an Israeli and a Palestinian child must be equally protected.. take a moral stand on need to stop war not a politically expedient one .
* More focus on Olympic athletes in an Olympic year and less on only cricket.
* and yes, Media must tell truth to power without fear or favour, neither cheerleader nor naysayer.
Into that heaven of true ‘Amrit kaal’ freedom let my country awake .

happy new(s) year!
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
“The protection of the Muslim minority in a Hindu majority India is worth mentioning. If I had a conversation with PM Modi, who I know well, part of my argument would be that if you don’t protect the rights of ethnic minorities in India, there is a strong possibility that India at some point starts pulling apart. That would be contrary to the interests of India” ~ Barack Obama
