So delighted to share the trailer to my new book, The Somnath Cipher.

A labour of love, passion and deep fascination with symbology, the book is my ode to India’s civilization story that spans millennia.

Releasing this Sunday, June 30.

#MintLongStory | “We are thinking of moving to Dubai. Know any good brokers?” That question used to pop up regularly in 2025 on cross-Arabian Sea phone calls to residents of the city-state from India. The diligent among them had lists of brokers, property prices by neighbourhood, school admission timelines and short-term rental benchmarks—ready to forward when this question arose.

The city-state’s realty market tore into 2026 on a four-year boom—until Iran’s drones and missiles iced it.

Having just seen long lines for cooking gas cylinders on the streets of cities in India — one of many bystanders to the conflict whose population has been seriously impacted—I’m struck yet again by how relatively insulated the U.S. is from the wars it unleashes

The world knows India isn’t just a nation, it’s a civilization rooted in wisdom and peace. A true force for global harmony. The world needs voices like India at the table. #UNSC #JeffreySachs

My article in @the_hindu today discusses the need for bipartisanship in moments of crisis:

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

I am honoured by the invitation of the government of India to lead an all-party delegation to five key capitals, to present our nation’s point of view on recent events.

When national interest is involved, and my services are required, I will not be found wanting.

Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

16. Happened some months back:

A 5 year old girl from South Africa, daughter of a single mother. Her mother sent her to the store to buy a loaf of bread. On her way back, a stranger took her picture. The photo went viral on social media, capturing her pure joy. Under public pressure, the bread company made her the brand ambassador. Her photo is now on billboards advertising bread across South Africa. In return, the mother-daughter duo received a two-room house and the company will cover the girl's education expenses until graduation.

A heartwarming story of how a simple moment of joy captured in a photo can change a person's life for the better.
Spread positivity!

Currently reading one of the best history fiction after a long time. The Somnath cipher.

[Vir Das @thevirdas]

Vikram Misri was amazing, so were Colonel Sophiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.

[IAS Association @IASassociation]

The IAS Association stands in solidarity with Shri Vikram Misri, Foreign Secretary, & his family.
Unwarranted personal attacks on civil servants performing their duties with integrity are deeply regrettable.
We reaffirm our commitment to uphold the dignity of public service.

[Salman Soz @SalmanSoz]

Vikram Misri, a Kashmiri, has done India proud. No amount of trolling can diminish his service to the country. If you can't say thank you, learn to shut up.
