Dr @swapan55 inherits a Bengal wrecked by financial ruin (₹8 lac crore debt), anti-corporate policies (7,000 companies have taken flight), and insane mismanagement (₹5,800 crore for Minority Affairs versus ₹80 crore for Science & Tech).

But if anyone can, he can. Best wishes.

[Abhijit Iyer-Mitra @Iyervval]

Congratulations to highly revered scholar & distinguished Oxonian: the Rt Hon’ble @swapan55 for becoming the Finance Minister of West Bengal. After almost 80 years of incessant financial ruin, Bengal will finally get sane economic policymaking.

[Swapan Dasgupta @swapan55]

I shed no tears for the TMC’s self-destruction. My only hope is that the political culture of the vandals doesn’t start contaminating the W.Bengal BJP. We in the BJP have to be always wary of false friends who are today cosying up to us because they need to wash away their past sins. The detox of Bengal cannot be left incomplete.

So apparently Jill and I are on a plane to China with Trump, Elon Musk, half the Cabinet, and a collection of CEOs whose combined net worth could probably refinance the moon.

Totally normal day for Gen X.

And I just can’t stop laughing at how the media spent YEARS telling us:

- China hated Elon
- Trump was “finished”
- America was collapsing
- capitalism was dead
- and everybody important was abandoning the U.S.

Meanwhile, here we are somewhere over the Pacific looking like the cast of Succession meets Top Gun: Retirement Plan Edition.

Remember when China sanctioned Marco Rubio back in 2020 and everybody acted like the geopolitical chessboard had permanently shifted?

Now suddenly everybody’s still showing up to the table because — shocking development — nations tend to like:

- money
- technology
- manufacturing
- trade
- AI
- energy
- semiconductors
- and not being economically irrelevant

Who knew.

The best part is the internet meltdown cycle never changes.

Trump:
“America needs stronger trade relationships.”

Media:
“HITLER.”

Elon:
“I make electric cars, rockets, satellites, AI, and robots.”

Internet activists:
“Yeah but we posted an angry hashtag.”

Cool.
I’m sure Beijing is trembling before your TikTok resistance movement.

And flying with this group is exactly what you think it would be.

Trump walks around the cabin narrating reality like it’s an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Geopolitical:
“Great flight. Powerful people. Very high IQ. The Chinese are saying they’ve never seen anything like it.”

Elon looks like he hasn’t slept since 2019 and is simultaneously calculating orbital trajectories and wondering if the beverage cart could be automated.

Meanwhile Jill and I are sitting there like two exhausted Gen Xers who survived dial-up internet, chain-smoking restaurants, lawn darts, and drinking from garden hoses… wondering how in the hell we became side characters in the weirdest timeline imaginable.

Honestly, at this point if Trump walked into Beijing blasting “Danger Zone” while Elon live-streamed it from orbit, I wouldn’t even blink.

Because the people who told us America was over are still tweeting from iPhones, driving Teslas, using Starlink during hurricanes, and cashing checks tied to the same capitalist machine they claim to hate.

Gen X translation:
The world’s still running.
The adults are still making deals.

And the internet is still confusing hashtags for accomplishments.

Carry on.

I must confess that until recently I had never heard of Phool Dei, a spring festival that was celebrated yesterday in the villages of Uttarakhand.

Children gather fresh flowers from the hills and go from house to house placing them on doorsteps, offering a blessing for the household:

“Phool Dei, Chhamma Dei,
Deni Dwar, Bhar Bhakar…” roughly wishing the home prosperity.

In return they receive sweets.

It reminded me a little of Halloween in the U.S., where children go door to door saying “trick or treat.” But what a lovely contrast. Here the children arrive not threatening a prank, or asking first, but giving first. Flowers.

In an age when we speak so much about environmental consciousness, this graceful celebration of spring and nature deserves to be far more widely known.

Just as Holi travelled across India and the world, perhaps Phool Dei should too.

For me, the children of Uttarakhand are my #MondayMotivation

I just realized something. I was listening to a Tamil song, speaking to my mother in Kashmiri, glancing at a newspaper in English, giving instructions in the house in Hindi and a Marathi film - Natsamrat is playing on the YouTube on the TV. That is 5 languages simultaneously in my house!!! I will never understand language politics ever. And I will never ever not love any Indian language.

@DEHLIVERY

[Preeti Mehta @preetiRM]

Attention please ::
Please don’t use DEHLIVERY couriers to transport goods . Their Delivery boys don’t read the address properly , don’t even call to find out and simply without making any effort , take the order back .
Then you get a what’s app message to send your location 1/2

[Preeti Mehta @preetiRM]

their office.
You feed in the location and then you get a notification to send the location only through their app which you have to download .
No other courtier service does that .
Not delivering without any effort is a disservice.

THIS IS ONE BEST POSITIVE NEWS!

Having already attained tag of “Cleanest City" in Bharat for 7 yrs in a row, Indore now to become “Beggar Free City" in Deadline of 15 days.

District Collector Ashish Singh has chalked our 3 phase plan!

1st Phase: Rescue Children used for begging & Enroll them into Education. Proper counseling & legal action against parents who push kids into begging.

2nd Phase: Rehabilitation of Mentally & Physically challenged people who are into begging, by increasing number of dedicated facilities in the city.

3rd Phase:Targeting Other beggars. Crackdown against people who are running Begging Rackets.

Really a Very Good Initiative. Let's wish the Authorities success & spread the story so that every Bureaucrat gets motivation for such Good Initiatives.
