🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! 🎆
Today, America celebrates 250 years of freedom, opportunity, and the pursuit of big dreams. And for many of us, one of those dreams was finding a place we could proudly call home. 🏡
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸❤️

@SawyerMerritt I hope they have better quality leather seats this time .😜

Indian cuisine conversations often revolve around Punjabi, South Indian or Bengali food. Odiya cuisine deserves a much bigger place on that table.
What struck me most was its restraint. No overload of cream, butter or chillies. Just balance, mustard, fermentation, texture and freshness.
Dahi Bara Aloo Dum (popular street food), Drumstick-Brinjal Besara, Chhena Tarkari, Chakuli Pitha (like dosa) Aloo Patra Besara… all made at home.

@Suhelseth @BJP4India Odisha is also in the sane list.

[puspak swain @puspakswain]

@MohanMOdisha @BJP4Bengal Sir, with due respect can you please make at least one town in Odisha to become a model—clean, green, and well-planned, with proper biking and running lanes. It doesn’t have to be Bhubaneswar—just one well-executed example would be enough.

[puspak swain @puspakswain]

@_amitbehere Same in Odisha 😀

@narendramodi Your party already made a mess in Kalinga. Your government should focus on your very first promise“Swachh Bharat” in every state you win. Do not keep complaining about the past. When your party is in power at both the state and central levels, the turnaround time should be quick.

[puspak swain @puspakswain]

@stingdas Dude, you’re making it hard to decide 😀

[puspak swain @puspakswain]

@bmcbbsr @Sulochana_Apa @CMO_Odisha @SwachhBharatGov @HUDDeptOdisha @MoHUA_India @IPR_Odisha Awesome work! Could you please do the same for the canal in Bomikhal? It’s a great opportunity to transform it into a clean, beautiful space, with dedicated lanes for morning walkers, runners, and cyclists.

Why is India not a tourism superpower ?
1. Unsafe roads, no pavements, stray animals
2. Dirt, garbage, and lack of hygiene
3. Petty corruption
4. Traffic chaos
5. Poor global branding and perception management
6. Tourism stuck in state-level red tape
7. Pollution
8. No proper city or tourist site infrastructure
9. Inconsistent service standards
10.Biggest of all- lack of civic sense

We have everything- mountains, deserts, beaches, history, spirituality. Yet Malaysia, Turkey, Singapore, Thailand and even the UAE attract more tourists each year than we do.

So the issue isn’t what we have. It’s how we manage it.
Potential is not our problem. Execution is. 🇮🇳

@kapsology If you exclude true innovation-driven product companies, much of the industry rewards storytelling and sales more than deep knowledge . The ability to position and narrate often gets recognized faster than real knowledge.

[Jasveer Singh @jasveer10]

Why so many global CEOs are Indian is the wrong question. The real question is what kind of system produces them.

This isn’t about Indians being genetically smarter or IITs magically creating genius. It’s only about selection pressure. India is not a talent factory. India is a high-pressure talent filter.

Most Indians are born into middle class or lower middle class families. There is no safety net, no fallback plan, no cushion. From the day you’re born there is an unspoken contract. Do well or the whole family stays stuck.

Education isn’t optional. It’s survival, now add population. Five to ten lakh people fighting for a few thousand seats. Even after years of preparation, effort doesn’t guarantee success. You still have to win against insane odds.

What comes out of this system is not creativity. It’s endurance. People who can sit for long hours, delay gratification for a decade, operate under pressure without breaking, and don’t feel entitled to comfort.

That profile matters - Large global companies don’t reward raw brilliance at the top. They reward people who can survive complexity, politics, scale, and boredom for 20 to 30 years straight.

That’s why Indian origin leaders show up disproportionately in operator roles. CEOs, presidents, heads of massive systems, not founders.

They didn’t rise because they were the loudest or flashiest. They rose because they had already been trained by a brutal system that rewards consistency over brilliance.

Compare that to a child born in a developed country. There is pressure, yes. But there is also a safety net. More options. Less existential fear. That environment is great for creativity and risk taking. It produces founders and innovators.

India produces survivors who become operators. That’s the difference most people miss. And let’s be clear, this system is not something to romanticize.

For every one person who makes it, millions burn out. Talent gets wasted. Mental health gets crushed. The system is inefficient and cruel. But it does one thing extremely well. It filters for people who can endure.

That’s why Indians don’t dominate early stage innovation globally, but they dominate long-run leadership in established systems.

So no, Indians aren’t exceptional because of IQ. They’re exceptional because they were never allowed to be comfortable.

The uncomfortable question is not why this works. The real question is whether this is the only way we should be producing leaders. And whether the cost is worth it.

BREAKING: OpenAI and Anthropic engineers leaked these prompt techniques in internal docs.

I've been using insider knowledge from actual AI engineers for 6 months.

[Naveen Patnaik @Naveen_Odisha]

I express my disappointment on the #Budget2026 presented today by the Union Government. The budget has offered no noteworthy benefits to #Odisha and its people.

The anticipation from the people of Odisha was that the double engine government would offer a growth momentum with focus on infrastructure, job creation and additional allocation which is due to the state. The state has received very little.

I welcome the proposal to establish the Rare Earth Corridor in Odisha. Odisha is the leading producer of several key minerals and will always contribute to nation building through its rich resources.

It has again been announced to have National Waterways to connect mineral rich areas and industrial centres to the Ports. But this is a decade old proposal without any progress on the ground.

It is a huge disappointment for the people of Odisha that the announcement to develop seven High-Speed Rail corridors between cities as ‘growth connectors’ does not feature Odisha. Odisha BJP nipped the #BhubaneswarMetro project earlier and the neglect of people’s needs continues as usual.

And it’s quite baffling that the Tourism centric Scheme for Development of Buddhist Circuits has completely skipped Odisha despite having several very important Buddhist sites including our Diamond Triangle.

As seen from the entirety of the Union Budget, Odisha is getting allocations only for taking its natural resources away and completely ignored when it comes to resource allocation for benefit of people of the State.

It’s time the State BJP Govt takes responsibility for people of Odisha and ensure they get their rightful dues from centre. Odisha and its people deserve more and better from the Union Budget.

Good write up.
I have been to WEF Davos about 7 times (lost count actually), what I found most intriguing & consistently was; only 1% of Indian businessmen or politicians or celebrities in Davos participated in the sessions / discussions. Yes, Chandrababu Naidu was one politician who did attend sessions - I remember as I was in sessions with him a few times. When an Indian Minister is a panelist in a session, a few businessmen do pop up to cozy up to the minister. The best part of Davos is option to join a small sit down dinner with Nobel laurates & academics - where i never found another Indian - they were busy partying elsewhere with their own kind. The morning sessions begin at 7.30 am, when most paying Indians in Davos are still in bed after late night partying. The food takes getting used to but the place & setting is beautiful.

India has everything tourists want - history, culture, food, nature.
What it lacks is a serious will to tap this multi-billion-dollar industry:
• Arbitrary rules
• No clean public toilets
• Broken footpaths, hostile walkability
• Filthy public spaces
• Basic civic hygiene missing
• No safety perception
• No nightlife, no freedom, no ease
• Endless moral policing

The gap with our peer Asian countries just keeps widening.
Vietnam started where India was in 2014. Today it’s 2× ahead.
A city like Singapore beats an entire civilization like India.

@AbhishBanerj Do not agree at all . Pollution shoukd be top priority . You might be living in a gated community

Gita Gopinath has shown mirror to India on Pollution

As per World Bank Study, India loses 1.7 Million people to Pollution, i.e. 18% of total de@ths

Bhakts will abu$e her now though IMF's predictions during her time used to be favourite of BJP

[Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor @Sonal_MK]

@GitaGopinath is right!

Pollution isn’t a health issue
It’s an economic shock

1.72 million Indians died due to air pollution in 2022
$339.4 billion lost to the economy
9.5% of GDP wiped out by pollution linked deaths
