Noida's brand-new airport gets waterlogged after rain.
If this was Bengaluru Airport, social media would have declared it a national disaster by now.
Funny how outrage often depends on pincodes, which city is trending and which name generates more traction.
#Alert🚨
Two hours ago, the Pondicherry Police showed up at my family’s home and subjected them to all kinds of questioning. Why this harassment, @PuducheryPolice? Who ordered this and for what purpose? Is this the legal procedure? Why is the BJP government in Pondicherry intimidating my family? This is not the character of the Pondy government. This is being done at the behest of the Union government!
If the intention is to intimidate me into silence, it will not work. This will not cower me down. It only strengthens our resolve to build a better system, one where the police uphold the law instead of acting like goondas!

These kids are saying, “Nobody pays attention to us.” All they are asking for is a good road so they can get to school safely.
This Independence Day, let’s pledge to change this.
VIKAS DIVYAKIRTI SIR TURNS THE IQ LENS ON RIGHT-WING POLITICS 🚨
An American research study tested political attitudes and IQ levels across large groups.
The finding was uncomfortable: people supporting right-wing parties were more likely to have lower average IQ.
He clarifies that the study is not about India, but says if we carefully extend the logic, parties built on religious or caste pride start looking very familiar.
If someone can be provoked in the name of religion, caste or race, reasoning has already been bypassed.
A thinking mind is harder to communalise. 🔥
A country where children are raising their voices and fighting for their basic rights and future, while cowering, spineless or corrupted adults are staying servile before power. Does that fill you with hope or despair?

पुण्यातल्या ढोल ताशा पथकांचा आता पुणेकरांना वैताग आलाय. मोक्कार त्रास होतोय रोज संध्याकाळी. बाहेरून आलेल्यांना मजा येत असेल कदाचित त्यांचा सराव बघायला, आम्हाला अजिबात नाही.
It was a thing a decade now. More than that actually. More of a nuisance now.
UB City, 5 star Hotels etc. are some of the most expensive places in the heart of Silicon Valley of India…
Each dish starts from Rs.600-Rs.1000
It’s a shame that hotel owners are using rotten and expired meat even in these places 🤮
Seems like Greed is the only motive
EXPOSED: The document the Government tried hard to erase.
On July 28, 2026, SIAM officially warned the Union Govt that Excessive chloride in E20 petrol is actively damaging your vehicles.
Instead of protecting your hard earned money & your vehicles the govt went after news articles that reported on this SIAM letter.
DOWNLOAD & SAVE THIS LETTER NOW before it gets pulled down again.
To every politician across party lines: Stand up for the citizens of India today, or admit you don't serve them.
Team Bharat accepts full responsibility for releasing this suppressed letter. We do not fear the consequences. The truth belongs to the public.

The crux of Rahul Gandhi ‘s Editorial in The Hindu in the last 2 columns which I have highlighted ! One of the sharpest diatribes ! Simple language , eloquently written and equally hard hitting @INCIndia @gurdeepsappal
I went to watch stand up comic Kunal Kamra live for the first time yesterday, at a small underground venue in Bengaluru.
Several of his ‘Standing Up’ shows in another Bengaluru locality had been cancelled after right-wing groups threatened to disrupt them, and the shows were moved to this venue. When we arrived, there were about nine policemen stationed outside. We had to hand over our IDs so that, in case anyone created a ruckus, the police would have the details of everyone inside.
It felt strangely like walking into a potential danger zone just to watch a stand-up show.
And yet, the police in this Congress-ruled state were not there to stop the comedian (for a change). They were there to protect him and us and our right to laugh.
I had expected Kunal to be a little cocky. Perhaps a comedian who had been through as much as he has would develop a certain swagger, a sense of being above the rest of us. But that wasn’t what I saw at all. He was incredibly human.
He spoke hilariously about a venue being broken down by Shiv Sainiks in Mumbai, about being repeatedly summoned and harassed after speaking about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and about the extraordinary machinery that seems to swing into action when a comedian says something powerful people don’t like.
But there was no false bravado in the way he told these stories. There was vulnerability. There was self-deprecation. There was storytelling and insight alongside the gags and one-liners.
There was no bitterness in him. No vindictiveness. He is a man who simply believes that he has a right to speak, and that nobody has the right to take that away from him.
Kunal did not allow any video recording of the performance. There is still a very real fear that a stray clip can be taken out of context, go viral and invite an endless cycle of outrage, threats and lawsuits. Unlike comedians with enormous commercial ecosystems (he mentioned Samay Raina) around them, Kunal doesn’t have the luxury of a battery of lawyers at his beck n call. Also, a recording doesn’t just expose the comedian. It can expose everyone who laughed in that room to a completely different kind of backlash.
Later, backstage, I met Kunal and the wonderful Shyam Rangeela, who did an absolutely hilarious act as Prime Minister Modi. There was also an interview between Kunal and Shyam’s Modi that I won’t reveal here. You really should watch the show to see it. All I will say is that it felt strangely satisfying to see ‘Modiji’ finally answer questions from the public.
I also told Kunal something that had struck me during the evening. Before 2014, we were used to laughing at our political leaders.
Manmohan Singh was mocked. Rajiv Gandhi was mocked. V. P. Singh was mocked. Lalu Prasad Yadav was mocked. Television satire regularly lampooned our politicians. We had caricatures, spoofs, political cartoons and comedy shows that treated even the most powerful people in the country as fair game.
Nobody seemed to think that laughing at a Prime Minister or Chief Minister was an act of treason.
Somewhere between 2014 and 2026, we seem to have developed a fear of even laughing at power.
And yesterday, in that tiny Bangalore room, I realised how much we have missed it. Because for 100 minutes, 100 people laughed freely.
And perhaps that is why protecting comedians like @kunalkamra88 and @ShyamRangeela matters.
They remind us that powerful people are not beyond laughter, and that we, the public, actually hold the power.
In the last 12 months, my mother has done KYC 10 times in SBI.
10 TIMES.
Same person. Same bank. Same documents.
How many times does a customer have to prove that she is actually herself?
This is not KYC anymore.
This is harassment. Absolute madness.
Remembering four organisations which steadfastly refused to participate in the Quit India Movement-
1. Muslim League (under Jinnah)
2 Hindu Mahasabha (under Sarwarkar)
3 RSS (under Guru Golwalkar)

रायगडमधील कोंदिवडे गावच्या शाळकरी मुलींचा हा व्हिडीओ सध्या खूप चर्चेत आहे. एका बाजूला कुंभमेळ्यावर हजारो कोटी रुपये उधळले जातात तर दुसरीकडे मात्र विद्यार्थ्यांना शाळेत जायला धड रस्ताही नसतो. आपली समस्या मार्मिकपणे मांडणाऱ्या ग्रामीण महाराष्ट्रातील या alpha gen z पिढीचे कौतुक वाटते.
The decline in the intellectual standard of those holding important offices in government and the institutions it exercises control over is as striking and as damaging as the decline in Constitutional morality. When was the last time you listened to someone holding an imporant office and found it insightful or elevating?
India risks being left behind in the technology race that will define the future because our leaders are stuck in the past—talking about Atmanirbhar and Swadeshi while the world races ahead in AI, robotics and frontier technologies.
Worse, some confuse slogans with progress—making dubious claims about using space technology to build roads or suggesting India is almost at par with the US and China.
You don’t win the future by exaggerating the present.
