[Dr. Deepessh Divaakaran (Dr. DD) @md_deepesh]

If bad luck was a person, It was Krishna.
Born in a prison cell.

With chains.
Cold walls.
And fear.

The West writes self-help books after one breakup and a weekend depression.

Krishna was born with a death warrant.

His own uncle wanted him dead.

He never drank his mother's milk.

Hours after birth,
his father carried him across a mad river at midnight.

Rain above.
Death behind.
Darkness ahead.

No burning bush.
No sea parting.
No miracle announcing salvation.
No therapist with scented candles.

Just survival.

Born a prince.
Raised a cowherd.

Before he could speak,
they sent Putana.

Then Shakatasura.
Trinavarta.
Kaliya.

One after another.

As if destiny hated him personally.

And he still smiled.

People today collapse over an unfollow.

He lost everything early.

His parents.
His childhood.
His home.

And Radha.

Ah, Radha.

The part Bollywood never understands.

His closest friend Sudama lived in poverty.
Krishna could not protect everyone he loved.

Shishupala insulted him publicly.
Again and again.
Before assembled kings.

Krishna listened calmly.

Then came Jarasandha.
17 invasions.
Mathura burned again and again.

Then came the greatest tragedy.

The Mahabharata.

Krishna tried to stop it.
He went himself.
He sat before Duryodhana.

Pleaded for peace.
Just 5 villages.
Duryodhana refused.

And humanity walked into hell smiling.

18 days later, rivers carried blood.
1.66 billion dead.

Think about that.

An entire civilisation collapsing into dust.

And Krishna carried that silence.

No lamentation carved into scripture.
No prophet demanding heaven explain itself.

Just silence.

Then Gandhari cursed him.
A grieving mother blamed him for everything.

Krishna accepted it.

That is spiritual strength.

Then came the final collapse.

His own clan destroyed itself.
Drunk. Violent. Mad.

The Yadavas killed each other.
His own son died in that chaos.

Krishna watched.

Because some endings cannot be stopped.

Then Dwarka sank.

His city.
His dream.
His life's work.

Gone beneath the waves.

And finally...

The man who was greatest strategist.
The man kings feared.
The man sages worshipped.

Died alone in a forest.
One arrow.
A hunter's mistake.

No throne.
No army.
No grand farewell.
No Resurrection.

Just silence beneath the trees.

And yet...
He is called the complete being.

Not because life was kind.
But because pain never poisoned him.

That is Krishna's greatness.

Not miracles.
Not powers.
Not mythology.

Life gave him suffering.
He gave life wisdom.

Life gave him betrayal.
He gave humanity the Gita.

Life gave him war.
He gave the world detachment.

And in the middle of chaos,
he left us one terrifying truth:

"You control your actions.
Never the outcome."

Krishna did not teach escapism.
He taught endurance.

He did not teach positivity.
He taught responsibility.

He taught how to stand inside hell,
without becoming hell yourself.

That is why he still smiles.

And maybe...

That is why Bharat still survives.

ANNAMALAI MAY HAVE FAILED TO WIN THE BJP A SEAT IN 2024, BUT HIS GREATEST SUCCESS MIGHT YET BE ORGANISATIONAL.
What is the message that the BJP can glean from the Annamalai saga.
1. Don't Trade Long-term Ideological Space For Short-term Electoral Gain:
The BJP has spent a decade painstakingly creating a distinct nationalist political space in Tamil Nadu. Its vote share has risen from near irrelevance in state politics. Yet, in 2026, it traded its USP for an alliance with the AIADMK, putting immediate electoral gains above ideological purity. The Assembly election results prove that Annamalai was right in cautioning that voters would punish the BJP for yoking itself to a political culture of factionalism and corruption that serves no public interest. The first lesson for the BJP from Annamalai's politics is that growth cannot come from inheriting someone else's social base.
2. Sanatana: A Bridge, Not A Boundary:
Annamalai's entry into the BJP coincided with the party’s more assertive defence of Sanatana Dharma. In Tamil Nadu, sections of Dravidian politics had demonised any attempt at celebrating the grandeur of Hindu civilisation. The genius of Annamalai is that he recognised that the BJP's challenge goes beyond civilisational reclamation. Annamalai was successful in avoiding making BJP appear culturally exclusive. The emergence of a class of new Tamil voters, as demonstrated by the Assembly poll result in 2026, vindicates Annamalai. These new voters appear receptive to a broad, aspirational message that may yet be rooted in traditional ideological camps.
3. Tamil Nadu Needs A Son Of The Soil With A Youth Connect:
Tamil Nadu's electorate increasingly rewards leaders who embody local aspirations. Annamalai's appeal is that he is a first-generation political leader, a former IPS officer, and a relatively young face. The BJP in the future will require being led by a locally rooted leadership capable of connecting with aspirational young voters, entrepreneurs, professionals, and first-time electors.
4. Ideological Seeding Precedes Electoral Harvest:
The BJP is up against the same challenge it poses to other parties at the national level and in other states. Tamil Nadu's politics has long been shaped by an ideology: Dravidianism. The roots of this ideology run deep and cannot be weeded out in a single election cycle. Annamalai showed the BJP that it will need to put in the hard yards to sow its own ideology. Annamalai achieved some success through yatra politics, grassroots outreach, and sustained, almost face-to-face messaging. The current crop of the BJP’s top Tamil Nadu officials lacks that staying power.
5. Build Cadre Before Chasing The Chair:
Which brings us to the last point. The BJP's strongest state-level successes, from Gujarat, Odisha, Tripura, Haryana, and Assam, were preceded by years of organisational expansion. Annamalai may have failed to win the BJP a seat in 2024, but his greatest success might yet be organisational. Under him, the BJP appeared energised, with new blood flocking to it, and that too with a sense of purpose. As the axiom goes, purpose is the lifeblood of all parties, the single greatest ingredient for future victories. What is the BJP's purpose in Tamil Nadu? If BJP can answer that question with conviction in a post-Annamalai future, it will have won half the battle.

@Thomas11P @CommanMan777589 Fully agree with you. They deserved this

[Aravind @aravind]

Is it time for PMAIY - PM AI Yojana?

AI job losses are inevitable. IT&ES, BPO, Banking etc may be the first to lay off thousands in the coming months and years.

Good thing is India will not be the first to face this. India will have a lag in layoffs due to the low cost advantage. Yet, the layoffs will hit India one day sooner than later.

But what we need to understand is the job losses and economic issues will be temporary. Within some years, AI will be actually creating jobs. This is what many are missing while they raise the AI driven job loss concern.

And anyone and everyone with a brain, able to learn and adapt, will soon be employed using AI. And they will be making much more than what they could have done before.

IMO, India is well poised for this upheaval with a web and online literate young population. And a civilizational advantage when it comes to logic and questioning (prompting). I'm not at all worried.

But the issue is, the temporary upheaval can cause a lot of social and political issues. Especially, when it is used by some adversaries to instigate the public. This must be managed by the state somehow strategically.

I think it may be time GoI starts visibly doing some meetings to address the "AI future challenge" for reassurance, and thinks about creating some "Pradhan Mantri AI re-skilling and up-skilling yojana."

A yojana where many Indians from certain jobs which can be replaced by AI are able to use some govt given credits to up-skill / re-skill in AI. It may even give a fillip to the economy during a globally gloomy period.

[Ranjit R @rob_harvey96]

@Thomas11P @SouleFacts @sowmiyasid Absolutely they should suffer the worst. No one should come to help them

[Ranjit R @rob_harvey96]

@astroanilsays This is the best prediction from you sir. Very happy to read this.

[Ranjit R @rob_harvey96]

@astroanilsays @vdsatheesan It's muslim league rule now. That's what I understand

[K.Annamalai @annamalai_k]

Days after DMK MLA Thiru Udhayanidhi Stalin spoke about eradicating Sanathana Hindu Dharma on the floor of the legislative assembly, TVK MLA Thiru VMS Mustafa came in support of Thiru Udhayanidhi Stalin’s remarks. Not only is this very unfortunate but also it shows the level of hatred they harbour in their minds towards an eternal Dharma that helps us to lead a meaningful life!

DMK & TVK, in their very short history, have proven to the people that they are two sides of the same coin. DMK has forgotten what their constant attack on Sanathana Hindu Dharma has brought them to. TVK will also soon remember.

If either DMK or TVK had the courage of conviction, they should have openly declared during their election campaigns that targeting Sanathana Hindu Dharma would be central to their politics. Instead, they hid behind secularism & theatrics, only to reveal their true intentions after seeking votes from the very people whose faith they now insult with arrogance and impunity.

Please be reminded, Sanathana Hindu Dharma is not your punching bag! I sincerely hope their remarks will not go unpunished by our people.

Annamalai is not Vijay…

I agree..

Annamalai > 10000 Vijays put together

For those who still don’t understand why BJP’s victory in West Bengal matters so much — read this carefully. 👇🔥

This was not just an election.this was a battle over the future social and political map of Eastern India.

In February 2026, Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh recorded its biggest rise in 25 years in Bangladesh — winning 68 seats.

Do you know the most striking part?

Out of those 68 seats, 51 were won in regions sharing a border with India.

Now look at Bengal.

There are 44 constituencies in Bengal that share a border with Bangladesh. In 2021, 27 of those seats were won by All India Trinamool Congress.

These regions have long been politically sensitive, especially because many stretches of the India–Bangladesh border cannot be fully fenced due to geographical challenges.

Then came another major development — the return of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in Bangladesh.

Historically, every time BNP gained power, India’s Northeast entered a more sensitive security phase.

So look at the sequence:

• BNP returning to power in Bangladesh
• Jamaat-e-Islami gaining heavily in border regions
• Ongoing concerns around illegal migration and border demographics

This combination turned Bengal into a high-priority political battleground for BJP.

That is why BJP focused intensely on border constituencies — through booth-level work, voter outreach, and long-term organizational expansion.

Sangh-affiliated groups like Seemanta Chetna Manch had already spent years working in Bengal’s border districts, going door to door, speaking directly to people, and building awareness at the grassroots level.

This election was not fought casually.
It was fought with a precise strategy.
While others were busy with slogans, BJP was building a network on the ground.🔥🔥

And the result became visible in the voting patterns of several border districts. For BJP, Bengal was never just another state election. It was part of a much larger political and strategic vision.

Today, almost the entire Northeast is governed either by BJP or BJP allies. Bengal now becomes the next major frontier in that political map.

That’s why this victory is bigger than people think. This wasn’t just about defeating a party. This was about securing influence over one of India’s most sensitive political corridors.

This time, BJP came prepared to play for the long game. 🔥

@AstroCounselKK I always knew this. Kerala is not a fertile land for BJP.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

So many accounts are now emerging on social media, stories of families, friends, neighbours, and known killed, assaulted, or having property destroyed under TMC rule, just for political inclination.

Scary how so much crime can be brushed off under the cloak of intellectualism. Development, jobs, and infrastructure can progress together, but none of it holds without basic law and order. The primary reason Bengalis brought the BJP to power is the demand for peace and security.

I just hope they appoint a strong CM and crack down on crime and radical networks. Dismantle the local ecosystems that protect offenders, illegal financing, land mafias, extortion rackets, and political patronage. Secure the borders properly, plug the entry points, and push infiltration back to Bangladesh.

[Ranjit R @rob_harvey96]

@AstroCounselKK Very true, I too believe the same.

[Ranjit R @rob_harvey96]

@AstroCounselKK Absolutely they failed Annamalai and voted for vijay

Che Guevara was actually a Malyali born in Cannanore, by the name of George Varghese Cherian. This was shortened to Che- G-Vara because the Cubans had difficulty pronouncing his full name.
