Yesterday, while driving from Varanasi to Delhi on the Ganga Expressway, I witnessed something I will never forget.
An i10 had crashed into a truck after what seemed to be a tyre burst. four people were trapped inside, fighting for their lives. Without thinking twice, I stopped. It took nearly 10 minutes to break open the rear door with a metal rod and rescue an elderly lady. The front door wouldn't open, so we broke the windshield to pull the others out. All were soaked in blood, It was a sight no one should ever have to witness.
A couple in their 50s and few passersby also stopped to help. Together, we did everything we could. As the ambulance was delayed, I carried the injured into my car and drove until we met it halfway. Before leaving, I made sure all their belongings reached them safely.
After almost one and a half hours, I continued my journey. Later, I learned that all had survived. That one piece of news made every second of that rescue worth it. Life can change in a matter of seconds. Please inspect your vehicle before every long trip. Don't ignore worn tyres, unusual sounds, or warning signs. Reach a little late if you have to, but reach safely.

Please Help when you can. One day, it could be you or someone you love waiting for a stranger to stop.

We can confirm that we don't wish to add Gautam Gambhir to our coaching staff. He clearly has talent, though. To take those Indian players and deliver those results in Ireland takes truly remarkable gifts.

Thanks for the reminder, @PhonePe.

If a product has to threaten me with a fee to stay relevant, maybe it's time to delete it altogether.

India’s External Affairs Minister Jaishankar yet again shows mirror to Europe on the Russia question.

“European sells weapons which are used to attack India, for many many years. We Indians have never done anything to endanger Europe”.

The recent POCSO case involving Bandi Bhageerath, son of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar Garu, has deeply disturbed me.

I strongly believe the #POCSO Act was created to make sure every minor girl gets justice no matter what.

Power, position, influence or status should never come in the way. Every girl deserves equal justice under the Constitution and the law.

Cases involving minors need real urgency, transparency and accountability. Any delay, silence or selective action only damages public faith in the justice system.

This is not about politics or personalities. Truth must come out and justice must prevail.

I sincerely hope the investigation and every legal procedure is carried out with urgency, fairness and transparency, free from any pressure or influence.

#Justice must not only be done but also seen to be done, proving once again that no one is above the law.

A temple is not just a structure of stone and mortar but an outpouring of devotion. A paid government official cannot run it - it takes the heart of a devotee. Encouraging to see the Government’s statement. Must translate into action. -Sg

Two GST Class-2 officers seized a transporter’s lorry, and demanded ₹55 lakh bribe. The lorry owner called the ACB helpline. ACB set up a trap and caught both officers taking ₹10 lakh.

They were Class-2 inspector, yet they had the audacity to ask for ₹55 lakh from one person. Imagine the scale of corruption behind this.

There are hundreds of such inspectors posted across India. They regularly deal with hundreds of people and files. If this is the kind of money being asked in one case, think about the total volume.

₹55 lakh in India is not a small amount. For a middle-class family, that’s 7–10 years of income.

When you go out to buy a flat or land after years of saving and get quoted ₹1 crore for a 2BHK in a metro, remember, they are your competitors who are fueling the market.

Dear @SonyTV, audiences of Shark Tank India are evolving and expect better representation. It’s time to remove the @peyushbansal & @namitathapar or else you'll face the boycott in a big way...

If you want to be inclusive, advertise like this! This is a brand from Pune selling 1 gm jewellery, and see how stunning and festive the model looks! Don’t give me emancipated fugly models like in the @Lenskart_com #Pongal ad! And yeah, don’t whine about ‘racism’.

[Think Profit @thethinkprofit]

The Lenskart Cover-Up
A $5.6 billion company. A written policy. Two fired employees. A CEO whose story kept changing.

Lenskart — India's largest eyewear retailer, IPO-bound, valued at $5.6 billion — had a Style Guide for store staff. It surfaced on April 15.
The rules: No bindi. No tilak. No kalawa. Minimal sindoor, not on the forehead.
The hijab? Explicitly permitted. With colour instructions. And tutorial videos promised to staff.

When the document went viral, CEO Peyush Bansal called it "inaccurate." X's Community Note corrected him — the document was company-branded, dated February 2026. He then shifted: it was an "outdated training document" with an "incorrect line" that was "discovered and removed on February 17, well before this became public."
That story collapsed within 24 hours.

Akash Falake, a Lenskart store manager in Pune, had emails. He had flagged the exact same policy to Lenskart HR in writing on November 25, 2025. Senior HR was informed again on December 8. Through January and February 2026, store audits were actively cutting salaries of employees who wore bindis or tikas.
Falake escalated to the legal team. No response. On February 20, he filed a complaint on Maharashtra's government grievance portal.
The same day — he was terminated.

Then came Zeel Soghasia from Surat. Got a Lenskart job offer. Flew to Navi Mumbai for training. Day one: told to cut his shikha, remove his tilak and religious tattoos — or there would be no job.
He refused. Fired the next day.
This was April 18, 2026 — sixty days after Bansal claimed the policy had been removed.

Two employees raised this internally over five months. Both were ignored. One was fired the day he went to the government. One was fired for refusing to alter a religious symbol on his body.
The CEO's story changed three times. Each time, new evidence forced the shift.
This is how institutional discrimination works in the modern Indian workplace — not through speeches, but through audit deductions, grooming guides, and termination letters. Systems designed to be absorbed quietly.

It almost worked. Until someone leaked a PDF.

25 years ago today I witnessed the most amazing day of cricket I’ve seen

Following on 274 runs behind, V V S Laxman & Rahul Dravid batted the entire fourth day at Kolkata

They set up a remarkable 171-run win … ending AUS’s record run of 16 consecutive Test victories

[VVS Laxman @VVSLaxman281]

25 years ago at Eden Gardens Rahul and I shared a partnership that will forever remain special. In a moment when the game looked beyond us we chose belief, patience and resilience. That stand was not just about runs but was about trust, teamwork and fighting for every session. Grateful to have shared that journey with Rahul and to be part of a Test that reminded us all that in cricket comebacks are always possible👍 @BCCI #PowerOfPartnership #Believe #Resilience

Dear PM @narendramodi , NavIC was conceived, approved, and begun under the UPA as India’s own regional alternative to dependence on GPS and other foreign navigation systems. The full constellation was completed and made operational in 2016.

Now, roughly 10 years later, it has effectively fallen below operational navigation strength because ageing satellites were not replaced in time and recent replacement efforts have been delayed or unsuccessful.

Hope you realize the seriousness of this lapse as we enter an era of geopolitical uncertainties.

India will never become a developed nation until its bureaucracy and reservation are reformed.

Not in 2047 or not even in 2147.

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.

Our response then must be our response now:

NO to violations of international law.

NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.

NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.

NO TO WAR.

By choosing to defame India on such an important national platform, Rahul Gandhi has once again exposed his politics of anarchy.

This is not opposition. This is anarchism.

Criticise the government all you want. But when you repeatedly undermine India’s image and credibility, you cease to be an opposition leader and become an anarchist.

The youth of India will not forgive this reckless attempt to weaken the nation for cheap political headlines. They are building a New India with confidence and pride. They will not allow anyone to drag it into chaos.

Mr. Rahul Gandhi, fight the government. But do not wage war against India. The youth of this country will respond, decisively and democratically.

Most schools today, especially the private ones, remain closed on Independence Day and Republic Day.

Earlier, we all went to school on these days to take part in flag hoisting/unfurling, which helped instil a strong sense of patriotism from a young age.

The state govts should make it mandatory for schools to remain open on these two national days so children can actively participate and connect with the spirit of the nation.

Schools should make all arrangements just like a normal school day, including transport, and hold a short programme of 2-3hours in the morning.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

It is the honor of a lifetime to be Chief Guests at the Republic Day celebrations.

A successful India makes the world more stable, prosperous and secure.
