Running a distillery in India: your grain is regulated by food ministry, your product by state excise, your water by pollution board, your packaging by weights & measures, your distribution by state-level politics.

Five regulators, five compliance calendars, zero coordination. One expired NOC from any one of them shuts the whole plant.

This is why Indian manufacturing stays small. It's not ambition that's missing — it's regulatory bandwidth.

@avneesh_chhabra Music is the weakest point..and Rahman doesn’t deliver. Sorry.

@swapan55 @ShefVaidya Best wishes on your new role, everyone is rooting for you.

@BlackEdgeFund Very sane advice for today’s parents who take affluence as some sort of bottleneck in their child’s drive to succeed. No two generation can have similar goals and parameters of success, else the humanity can’t advance.

Watched Main Vaapas Aaunga” at Golden Village tonight. isn’t just a love story. It’s a quiet reckoning with the wounds we still carry.
For this generation, Partition often shrinks to a simple tale of religious divide. But the truth is far more layered - the chaos of sudden borders, mass migration, shattered families, economic collapse, and the immense human cost of redrawing maps overnight.
Our founding fathers inherited a wounded nation bleeding from every side. They faced the near-impossible task of stitching together a fractured society while building institutions from the ashes. The pain didn’t end in 1947; it lingered in homes, memories, and hearts that never fully returned.

This film reminds us why we need honest conversations- perhaps even a Truth and Reconciliation Commission - to acknowledge the unresolved trauma, honor the losses on all sides, and finally allow healing across generations. Love, longing, and belonging don’t respect borders. Neither should our understanding of history.

Imtiaz Ali has built his reputation on sensitive, nuanced portrayals of love, longing and human vulnerability. Here too, there are glimpses of that touch, but the emotional depth and layered storytelling that distinguished his finest works seem less assured and less fully realized.

Equally surprising is the absence of a memorable musical soul. A love story of this nature cries out for songs that elevate emotion, deepen character, and stay with the audience long after the credits roll. The collaboration with A. R. Rahman raises expectations, yet the soundtrack lacks the kind of evocative, timeless melodies that have so often transformed romantic cinema into something unforgettable.

The film has its moments, but one leaves wishing for a more incisive emotional treatment and music powerful enough to make the heart ache along with the characters. “Main vaapas aaunga” is a promise; unfortunately, the film itself may not call audiences back in quite the same way.

🔹छत से झड़ रहा प्लास्टर,कार्यालय में पॉलिथीन लगाकर काम कर रहे कर्मचारी
🔹बरगद के पेड़ के नीचे इंतजार करने को मजबूर यात्री

Sympathies with Tata group. It is not easy running airlines, that too in India. Even the mighty Jet and KF fell on the way. Keep going as Air India is the pride of India. Air India plans to downsize with owner Tata balking at losses

भारत में क्रिकेट की धूम है।व्यावसायिक तौर पर यह सोने का अंडा देने वाली मुर्गी है।टी-२० बहुतायत ने क्रिकेट का चेहरा बदल दिया।रफ़्तार के सौदागर लाइन व लेंथ बोलिंग करके क्रिकेटिंग लाइफ लंबी कर रहे।स्पिनर्स फ्लाइट की कला छोड़ सपाट गेंद कर रहे ताकि पिटाई न हो।ज़्यादा क्रिकेट थका रहा।

Sorry to hear this, could guess something was not right when your tweets regarding your trips stopped coming. Basically it’s the jealousy where people can’t tolerate others being happy. It’s perilous spreading happiness on social media. It’s a melancholic world out here. The range of cars and your choices speak of old money, which not many understand. ‘Nouveau riche’ has an acceptance problem, better ignore and move on!

What has welfare achieved in 12 years?
Poverty rate (Rangarajan):
Adult female: 33.3% -> 2.2%
Children: 58.3% -> 17%
And for the first time, poorest 30% of India has a basic minimum living standard. #KnowIndia 🇮🇳

@x_rahulraj Great insights! I am happy some new generation entrepreneurs in India like you have now taken the road less travelled. It’s the years spent in wilderness that makes the difference. Wishing you the best!

Reservation is a contentious topic the world over, but in India, in its current form, it is a vote gathering mechanism. Sharing of limited state resources is problematic, those out of it feel disenchanted. Only hope is that in a few decades from now, once the country reaches middle income status and poverty and social inequality reduces, it will cease to matter as much.

[AbhishekkkK @Abhishekkkk10]

When I say I am against reservation, that doesn't mean I am against the concept of reservation itself. Rather, I believe the way it has been implemented in our country is problematic.

Take this example, this Sejal girl got an MBBS seat with 406 marks through the ST category. Just to put that into perspective, some students don't get an MBBS seat even after scoring 600+ marks. I myself had to take a drop year after scoring 600.

Now look at the lifestyle she follows. I find it hard to believe that she lacked resources or opportunities during her school years.

On the other hand, the people for whom this reservation was originally intended, the genuinely underprivileged tribal communities, often don't even know what NEET-UG is, let alone have the awareness, or resources needed to pursue an MBBS degree. The person who should ideally benefit from this reservation is often nowhere in the picture, while privileged individuals continue to take advantage of a system that was created to uplift the underprivileged.

I don't understand how this system, in its current form, is supposed to reduce social inequality. While there are certainly cases where genuinely deserving individuals benefit from reservation, but in majority instances the reality appears very different.

A gentleman and extraordinary batsman of this era bids adieu. Dear Kane, We all were entertained. Thank you for being such a great ambassador of the game. 2019 ICC cricket world Cup will always remain the sour point but NZ played like champions in ICC tournaments when you led. Have a great time post retirement!

[Ritesh Kumar @ritzsinha]

@pv_mk Not a good take. Indian lives anywhere in the world is equally precious and treated accordingly. At least an official statement is the bare minimum expected. So much for our so called ‘robust’ foreign policy.

[Ritesh Kumar @ritzsinha]

@sardesairajdeep The idea sounds simple but packs a punch. Not a surprise it will not be followed coz ego comes in between.

Kuch bhi phenko! The name Maldah because the tree came from Malda region in Bengal. Mostly planted in Bhagalpur and Munger. Dudhiya Maldah is the name given to the variety with lighter and thin skin.

ऐसा माना जाता है कि लखनऊ के नवाब फिदा हुसैन इस आम का पौधा पाकिस्तान के इस्लामाबाद स्थित शाह फैसल मस्जिद क्षेत्र से लेकर आए थे और उसे पटना के दीघा में लगाया था।

रिपोर्ट्स के अनुसार, उनके पास कई गायें थीं और वे पौधों की सिंचाई बचे हुए दूध से करते थे। बाद में जब पेड़ बड़ा हुआ और उसमें फल आए, तो उनमें से दूध जैसा सफेद रस (milk-like substance) निकलने लगा।

इसी विशेषता के कारण इस आम का नाम “दूधिया मालदह” पड़ गया।

@jalajboy @MithilaStack Facing the same issue for last 3 years in our Dairy Plant in Rajgir. But we are keeping the faith. Glad that some are vocalising it now. It’s a challenge to keep talent in T3/T4 towns and build.
