All this is fine. But how does any of it justify releasing a video of a child being reprimanded for not speaking good English? Why does every moment have to become content? What is this compulsion to live in a world where every interaction is turned into a reel?

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

VERY IMPORTANT: Justice Madhav Jamdar of the Bombay High Court: “What is this? Are all citizens being made slaves of the Indian government… Can they not stage protests or agitate? What is all this?”. Rejects externment for raising anti govt slogans.
That what should have been a routine judicial affirmation of the constitutional right to protest now feels extraordinary says much about the times we live in. When dissent is criminalised and increasingly treated as a law-and-order problem rather than a democratic right, such reminders from the judiciary matter. Take a bow, Justice Jamdar. 👏👏

That is not “direct poison”. It’s the egg’s membrane. In fact, there are 2 membranes - one that is attached to the inside of the shell and one wrapped around the egg white. It offers additional protection against microbial attack in case there is a crack in the shell.

Fun fact: it’s not only edible, it’s made of collagen, and many collagen supplements are made from this membrane.

Even more fun fact: in very fresh eggs, the membrane sticks to the egg white and is harder to remove. As the egg gets older, the membrane is easier to remove from the boiled egg.

The egg is one of nature’s most accomplished works. A single, self-contained marvel, packed with every protein the body craves, brimming with vitamins and fats laid down to nourish new life. And yet, in the modern poultry farming context, IT IS PURELY VEGETARIAN because an unfertilised egg hosts no life, just the raw material to nourish it. Cracked into a hot pan, it firms into culinary gold. Whipped, it rises into airy clouds. Coddled, poached, folded into the silkiest of custards, or scrambled into bhurji, it bends endlessly to the cook’s will. Few things on this Earth give so generously, in so many guises. This, surely, is perfection in miniature. The greatest single ingredient in the kitchen.

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

IMPORTANT: West Bengal is reportedly dropping eggs from school mid-day meals and handing over a vegetarian-only meal contract to ISKCON. Meanwhile, states like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are expanding nutrition for children with more protein-rich food. School meals should be guided by science and nutrition, not politics or religious preferences. Keep ideology off a child’s plate, for God’s sake. 🙏

I have a VOTER ID card, but NO, it is not proof of citizenship.
I have a AADHAR card but NO, it is not proof of citizenship
I have a PAN Card, but NO, it is not proof of citizenship.
I have a PASSPORT but NO, it is not proof of citizenship.
So who will give me a CITIZENSHIP CERTIFICATE? A govt bureaucrat?
My question is simple: is the problem with the citizen, or with the Mai Baap State itself?😡

[Lokesh Nara @naralokesh]

At the @IndianExpress Adda, I spoke about how politics can be unforgiving. We competed fiercely with the previous DMK government in Tamil Nadu for investments - won some, lost some.

But I never heard an investor complain of being asked for money by the government. Credit where it's due: the DMK government ran a clean and professional investment process and that deserves appreciation.

தொடர் பயணத்தில் இருந்தபோதும், சமீபத்தில் தமிழ்நாடு அரசு வெளியிட்டுள்ள வெள்ளை அறிக்கை குறித்து விமான நிலையத்தில் புதிய தலைமுறைக்கு பேட்டியளித்தேன்.

2021ஆம் ஆண்டு நான் நிதியமைச்சராக இருந்தபோது வெளியிடப்பட்ட வெள்ளை அறிக்கைக்கும் தற்போதைய அறிக்கைக்கும் இடையிலான அடிப்படை வேறுபாடுகளை சுட்டிக்காட்டியதோடு, நிதி நிலையில் ஏற்பட்ட முன்னேற்றம��� தானாக நிகழ்ந்ததல்ல; கழக ஆட்சியின் முதல் இரண்டு ஆண்டுகளில் நாங்கள் மேற்கொண்ட திட்டமிட்ட சீர்திருத்தங்களின் விளைவு என்பதை, தரவுகளின் அடிப்படையில் எவருடனும் விவாதிக்கத் தயார் என்பதை தெரிவித்தேன்.

மேலும், கட்டமைப்பு ரீதியான மாற்றங்களால் மட்டுமே நீடித்த முன்னேற்றத்தை உருவாக்க முடியும் என்பதையும் வலியுறுத்தி, அதிகாரிகள் புதிய அரசை தவறாக வழிநடத்த அனுமதிக்கக் கூடாது என அறிவ��றுத்தினேன்.

During my tenure as IT Minister, I had no role in IT promotions. Sole responsibility was with this Minister's Department of Industries and Investment Promotion.

How could the IT Minister have demanded anything?

So who is lying here - the Minister, or @SouthMatters ?

[Sincere Dibya @TheSincereDude]

A policy affecting 140 crore people; signed at 8PM, announced at a press conference the next morning.

No White Paper. No Parliamentary debate. No public consultation. No independent impact study.

Just a minister, a pen, and a family business waiting on the other side.

Let’s talk about what this “policy” actually is:

→ Son Nikhil’s company Cian Agro: ₹18Cr → ₹523Cr revenue in one year

→ Their stock: ₹37 → ₹638. A 2,184% surge; while “the file” was being drafted

→ Son Sarang: Director at Manas Agro. Also in ethanol. Also quietly booming.

Father writes the regulations. Sons hold the equity.

And we’re supposed to call this a “national dream.”

In any functioning democracy, a minister with direct family financial interests in a sector CANNOT unilaterally regulate that sector.

That’s not politics, that’s a constitutional principle.

Where is the Lokpal?
Where is the Prime Minister?
Where is the Parliament?

The dream isn’t about ethanol.

The dream is about a country where accountability has been fully, quietly, abolished.

[Jyoti @virgojyoti02]

E100 is a bad idea. Not because ethanol is bad. But because this is not how you do it.

Brazil is the only country in the world that has made ethanol fuel actually work at scale.

They started in 1975. It took them thirty years. And the order in which they did it matters. First they built the cars. Millions of them, flex-fuel vehicles that could handle ethanol. The fuel infrastructure came after, once the demand was already sitting in driveways across São Paulo and Rio. By the time Brazilians were filling up on pure ethanol, they had spent decades building the engine technology, the pump network, the supply chain, and the price stability to make it viable. Even then it had rough patches.

India has done it the other way around.
We announced the fuel before the cars exist. The flex-fuel fleet right now is one Wagon R and some Hero bikes. That is not a fleet.
That is a pilot project dressed up as a policy.

This is not just it, other issue are:

Ethanol in India comes mostly from sugarcane. And sugarcane is one of the thirstiest crops we grow. It needs four to five times more water than most other crops. In Maharashtra, which is our biggest sugarcane state, that has always been a tension that everyone quietly lives with.

Now go to Vidarbha. This is the eastern part of Maharashtra. Cotton country. Drought country. The region where farmer suicides made headlines for years because the rains failed and the debt did not. Water here is not a policy question. It is a survival question. A farmer in Yavatmal or Wardha will tell you that a bad monsoon does not mean a bad harvest. It means a bad year for everything.

Sugarcane is already creeping into this region because the ethanol push has made it more profitable than cotton. And if E100 scales the way the government wants it to, that pressure gets stronger. More farmers in water-scarce land will shift to a crop that drinks water like it is free. The ones who can afford a borewell will go deeper. The ones who cannot will watch their neighbours do it and worry.

Nobody in the E100 announcement talked about this.

The government will say farmers should be free to grow what is profitable. That is fair. But policy that makes one choice significantly more profitable than another is not neutral. It is a nudge. And nudging water-stressed farmers in Vidarbha toward sugarcane is a nudge with consequences that will show up not in a press conference but in a groundwater report five years from now.

Then there is the trust problem sitting on top of all of this. Last April, E20 replaced regular petrol at 90,000 pumps without much warning. Mileage dropped. Repairs came up. A man in Chennai spent close to ₹4 lakh on fuel-related damage. The government's response was essentially that people were spreading misinformation. That is not how you bring people along.

So now E100 arrives and people are not starting from neutral. They are starting from angry.

Here is what would have actually made sense.

Pick three or four cities. Pune, Lucknow, Coimbatore, one more. Build a proper E100 pilot there. Put the pumps in. Work with one or two carmakers to get a few thousand flex-fuel vehicles on the road in those cities. Run it for two years. Measure the mileage honestly. Publish the cost per kilometre in plain numbers. Let a family in Pune tell their cousin in Nagpur that their monthly fuel bill actually went down. That cousin will want in.

That is how Brazil did it. That is how you build a market.

Instead we have a national announcement, a handful of cars, almost no pumps, unresolved water questions, unhappy farmers in the wrong regions growing the wrong crop for the wrong reasons, and a public that has already been burned once and is not in a mood to be told to trust the process again.

E100 could have been a good story. Grow your own fuel, keep the money at home, give farmers a second income, reduce the import bill. All of that is real and worth doing.

But a good idea launched badly does not stay a good idea for long.

It just becomes the next thing people are angry about.

IMPORTANT: First anniversary of Air India Ahmedabad crash in which 260 people died. Still NO SIGN of the final report. Lots of assurances but still NO report. Without a final report, there can be no closure for the victim families. Interestingly, UK newspapers have asked more searching questions than we have at home. Will the TRUTH ever come out? Or will it be another case of NO DETAILS AVAILABLE? (NDA). Prayers and thoughts with victim families: they surely deserve better 🙏

Cricket gyaan: India A squad for Sri Lanka: NO Sarfaraz Khan yet again ?? Is he not even good enough now to play for India A? Coach Gambhir @GautamGambhir has rightly said that players deserve a long run. The only one who hasn’t got that benefit is Sarfaraz . 6 tests with a hundred and 3 fifties and a first class average of 64. Is there more to it than meets the eye? Hope @imAagarkar who’s done a fine job as chairman of selectors will resolve the puzzle. @BCCI
