[Satyamurthy Nageswaran @satya_murthy]

I take a trip down memory lane, thinking about my 40-year career, at a point where I live with absolute freedom and disentanglement:

—

My libertarian parents brought us up in a humble, middle-class family with limited resources but strong values. I studied in Tamil medium schools till 10th grade and attended low-cost institutions. Despite scoring 93% in MPC and 100 in math, I initially missed an engineering seat but was later admitted to civil engineering.

In college, I worked hard and consistently performed well, earning distinctions and often ranking among the top 3. I spent hours at the computer center, mastering COBOL, Pascal, and Fortran on a PDP 11. My final-year project involved developing software to analyze and design a 20-story building.

After graduating, I faced a tough job market. Armed with a 1-page resume, I applied to numerous companies. Despite taking public sector exams for ONGC, GAIL, and the IES, I found no immediate success. I interviewed for a junior research fellow position at PSG Tech. Although competing against PSG’s class topper, my programming skills impressed Dr. Rajasekaran, who chose me for the role with a ₹800/month stipend.

After 1.5 years, I declined an offer to do M.E., wary of internal politics in academia, and moved to Chennai. There, I worked as a structural designer with Dr. B.V. Subrahmanyam, enduring a grueling year — once staying in the office for 2 weeks straight without returning home. Later, I joined Indchem as a structural designer, earning ₹3,500/month. During this time, I realized my true passion was software.

I moved to Hyderabad, joining IMI Software for ₹4,400/month. Over 8 years, I progressed from software engineer to vice president, thanks to a key achievement — rewriting an entire product single-handedly. By the time I left, I was earning ₹5.4 LPA.

Despite 15 years in my career, I couldn’t afford a house or car. I joined Geometric Software in Pune as a project manager. Although I took the job without a salary hike, the booming IT sector soon brought steady raises and promotions. I eventually became the director of delivery, contributing to the creation of Siemens Digital Industries Software’s India center.

Six years later, I joined Siemens directly as a program manager. My technical skills were outdated, and younger colleagues took the technical roles. For 16 years, I faced slow career growth — no promotions and modest salary hikes. However, my pay doubled over that period, and the job provided stability.

I later joined a startup, though it was a quiet phase professionally. However, my financial decisions bore fruit. My Geometric Software stock multiplied 40 times after HCL’s acquisition. The Hyderabad startup where I once worked was acquired by a European company. Translate to Tamil: he founder surprised me with a generous bonus — a result of good karma.

I was never an active stock market investor, but I took my father’s advice in 2000 to invest ₹50,000. While I avoided Infosys and Wipro stocks, I chose HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank. Holding those stocks for over 2 decades resulted in significant wealth growth. I also invested heavily in Reliance Industries before moving my funds to mutual funds in 2017.

My career remained intentionally low-profile. I accepted challenges as they came, focusing only on what I could do while never worrying about what I couldn’t.

I spent meaningful time with my daughter as she grew up and avoided frequent travel after she was born. My overseas business travel happened largely before I turned 40. The last 20 years of my career were less exciting — a stable yet unremarkable MNC role with a high salary being its only meaningful outcome.

Reflecting on my journey, I believe achieving generational wealth doesn’t require extraordinary skills or excessive efforts. Consistency, wise decisions, and a bit of luck are often enough. Most importantly , avoiding major mistakes matters far more than chasing impossible success in a chaotic world.

Is Lionel Messi the greatest of all time? His latest landmark achievement — breaking the record for most goals scored at the World Cup with his double against Austria — certainly strengthens his case.

Messi, inevitably, was the centre of attention in Dallas, his goals earning Argentina a 2-0 win that booked the reigning champions’ place in the knockout stages.

The Inter Miami forward’s 17th and 18th World Cup goals (and fifth in two matches) took him past Germany’s Miroslav Klose as the all-time leading scorer in football’s biggest tournament.

It came after he missed a penalty earlier in the first half, a wasted opportunity that only delayed the inevitable.

How did Messi achieve his latest piece of World Cup history?

Argentina’s fans knew what was at stake. Most jerseys in the stadium bore Messi’s name and plenty of people brought their children to see him play.

The atmosphere around the stadium before the game was different from that of the first two raucous, energetic matches here last week. This crowd, of mostly Argentine fans, had a quieter, anticipatory joy.

Argentina never force-fed Messi; instead, as usual, chances around the box found him. His fluid movement repeatedly placed him in prime positions, even as Austria did well to box him in as he strolled around the pitch. For a while, Austria reacted quickly when he escaped and blocked two of his close-range chances.

But as half-time approached, the goal felt more inevitable. Argentina’s plays were too pretty, the outbursts too swift for Messi not to capitalize. In the 38th minute, Facundo Medina found Messi trailing, unmarked at the top of the box, and Messi found the back of the net. He had read the play brilliantly, but you can’t leave him open like that.

Fans wept in the stands as Messi and his team-mates huddled in celebration. Now the songs began in earnest.

As far as “I was there” moments go, this fitted the bill very nicely.

“Companies that are entirely AI will demolish companies that are not. It won’t be a contest.” 🚀

AI is the future, and honestly, there’s no real argument against that.

The ones already using it are already winning.

The ones who aren’t are already losing. 📈

What Elon has said about traditional companies being fully destroyed by AI, even if that sounds hyperbolic, is very likely to become reality sooner than many expect. We are going to see every part of companies transformed or replaced by AI because of its sheer efficiency. As the cost of AI and compute continues to fall, and with the advent of space data centres, AI will drive the next industrial revolution. 🌍

There are two types of people right now:

𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝟏: Uses AI to write emails and thinks that’s using AI.

𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝟐: Runs 1,000 agents while they sleep, treats AI like a workforce, and ships 100 times more.

Type 1 gets destroyed. Type 2 becomes the replacement. ⚡

Let’s look at it another way.

There are two types:

𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝟏: People atrophying their skills by delegating everything to AI. They’re steadily leading their companies towards bankruptcy with enormous token spending and little to no ROI to show for it, according to the latest data, with no signs of improvement.

𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝟐: People who understood the assignment: use AI to augment their skills where it’s useful while staying in the loop where it matters.

Type 2 will end up fixing all of Type 1’s broken systems, and it won’t be cheap. 💡

The gap isn’t tools; it’s mindset.

Type 1 asks, “How do I save five minutes?”

Type 2 asks, “What can I eliminate from my day entirely?”

Orchestration is a posture before it’s a skill. 🧠

My view is that AI will fundamentally reshape companies, but the biggest winners won’t be those that simply automate the most work—they’ll be those that redesign how work gets done while keeping human judgment, creativity, accountability, and relationships at the centre. 🚀

Using AI as a force multiplier is a competitive advantage; using it as a substitute for thinking is a liability. 🧠

The future belongs neither to people who ignore AI nor to those who blindly delegate everything to it, but to those who orchestrate AI intelligently, measure ROI rigorously, and combine machine speed with uniquely human insight. ⚙️

Nobody will buy AI services or products from the vast majority of smaller companies using them.

They’ll come across as either soulless or easily replicable by ChatGPT or Claude, and many smaller AI companies will eventually capitulate. 📉

Type 2 is not a workforce. Type 2 is a routing layer. The interesting question is what happens to the operator when the layer learns to route around them. The thousand agents stop needing the sleep schedule. 🤖

AI will replace repetitive tasks, but it can’t replace the human spirit. No strategy can beat a decisive technological advantage. Napoleon’s army would be easily demolished from afar by modern weapons. The enduring advantage will belong to those who combine technological superiority with uniquely human judgment, purpose, and leadership. 💕

🌿 This Osho interpretation of Lao Tzu resonates deeply with the Taoist ideal of wu wei—effortless action through a clear, uncluttered mind—where true wisdom often looks like “foolish” simplicity from the outside, free from ego-driven noise, endless desires, and overplanning. 🧘

I appreciate how it highlights the power of inner stillness and presence amid a chaotic world obsessed with productivity and constant thinking, but I also believe balance is essential: an “empty” mind fuels creativity and insight, yet purposeful thoughts, plans, and bold actions are what turn wisdom into real-world impact and human progress. ⚖️

Ultimately, it’s a beautiful reminder to cultivate mental spaciousness without rejecting ambition entirely. 😌

I have to give IBM CEO Arvind Krishna credit. He's saying what many of us in this industry have been thinking but haven't been willing to say out loud. The math just doesn't add up.

Here's what I'm seeing that's deeply troubling. We're in the middle of another mass hallucination. Just like the dot-com bubble, just like blockchain, just like the metaverse — everyone is convinced that building massive data centers will automatically create massive wealth.

But here's the thing about building infrastructure. You actually have to sell what's inside it.

Let's talk numbers. The planned data center buildout over the next 5-10 years is staggering. We're talking about commitments in the hundreds of gigawatts globally. The capital expenditure commitments are in the trillions. Yet when you look at the actual demand signals, not the projections, not the potential, but the actual consumption patterns, there's a massive gap. These AI companies are betting everything on demand that simply doesn't exist at the scale they're planning for.

Let me be direct. AI services are expensive. Enterprise adoption is slow. Consumer AI is still finding its footing. And the compute requirements being promised by the hyperscalers require a level of demand that would represent a fundamental shift in how businesses consume technology. That's a big ask.

I've seen this pattern before. The overbuilding. The belief that if you build it, they will come. The groupthink that turns critical analysis into heresy. The result is always the same. Companies are going to touch the stove. We're going to see massive write-downs. We're going to see pivots, shutdowns, and strategic reviews. We're going to see companies that spent years and billions trying to be the AI infrastructure leader become case studies in how not to read a market.

The IBM CEO is right. The math doesn't work. And unlike 1999, we don't have the excuse of we didn't know. We know exactly what's happening. We just don't want to believe it because the alternative, being a skeptic while everyone else is piling in, feels like career suicide. It's not. The ones who survive the next decade will be the ones who built for reality, not fantasy.

Wake up. The emperor has no clothes.

As reported by Futurism, Krishna laid out striking calculations: a 1 gigawatt data center costs roughly $80 billion today. If one company commits 20-30 gigawatts, that's $1.5 trillion in capital expenditure. The total commitments across the industry for chasing AGI are approximately 100 gigawatts, equaling $8 trillion. To break even, you'd need $800 billion in profit just to cover the interest. That's not investment. That's hoping.

If you are correct, then explain why average daily usage by power users of AI now exceeds 5 hours? It is easily exceeding all other tools combined.

The power users are the early majority… the rest will catch up. There is no going back to doing work the old way. I can now do things in 1 hour that used to take me 2-3 weeks. The quality is higher.

There is no future world where 95% of all jobs are NOT ai assisted. Btw: this does not mean jobs will be eliminated…

Every job function will over the next 10 years be transformed by AI and become AI assisted.

This hand wringing is just ignoring the daily gains by the early majority.

Currently the world has 3 billion working adults. Each one will likely require 2 dedicated GPUs 24/7.

I don’t think that is unrealistic.

The image is amusing, but it also highlights an important point about driving: the real skill is not in recovering from a bad situation but in avoiding it altogether.

A photo of a car wedged against a parking garage pillar sparked an interesting debate. The caption asked: “As a senior driver, will you reverse or drive forward?” While the question is entertaining, it misses the most important point.

An experienced driver would strive not to get into such a situation in the first place.

Whether you are a novice or a veteran behind the wheel, good driving is about planning, awareness, and judgment. Before entering a tight parking space, a careful driver checks the available clearance, mirrors, and turning radius. If the gap looks too narrow, it is wiser to stop, reassess, or choose another approach.

In most cases, the first sign of contact—a slight scrape or resistance—is enough for an alert driver to immediately stop. Continuing to move after making contact usually turns a minor scratch into major body damage.

Assuming the unfortunate situation has already occurred, the objective changes from avoiding damage to minimizing any additional damage.

The safest recovery is generally to:

* Turn the steering wheel fully to the right.
* Reverse very slowly.
* As the front wheels steer away from the pillar, the car gradually moves away from the obstruction.
* Once sufficient clearance is created, straighten the wheels and maneuver normally.

This technique usually limits the damage to what has already occurred instead of creating fresh dents and scratches.

One creative suggestion was to use the vehicle’s wheel jack.

The idea is to place the jack between the pillar and the rear wheel, expand it carefully until the car shifts away from the pillar, and then drive out. While mechanically possible under certain conditions, this is certainly not a recommended roadside technique. There is a real risk of damaging the wheel, suspension, jack, or even the pillar. It does, however, earn points for creativity!

Sometimes the safest decision is to stop trying altogether.

If the car is firmly wedged or if every movement is likely to increase the damage, calling the manufacturer’s roadside assistance or the dealership’s service team is the most sensible option. Professionals have the experience and equipment to recover the vehicle with minimal additional damage.

Driving expertise is not measured by how cleverly one escapes a difficult situation. It is measured by how rarely one gets into that situation.

Patience, situational awareness, and the willingness to stop before a mistake becomes expensive are the true hallmarks of an experienced driver.

So, if asked whether to reverse or drive forward, my answer would be:

Neither. I would have avoided getting into that position in the first place. But if already trapped, I would reverse slowly with the steering fully turned to the right to minimize further damage.

👇 What I do doesn’t matter. Damage’s already done!

In pure consciousness nothing ever happens.

Imagine a big building collapsing. Some rooms are in ruins, some are intact. But can you speak of the space as ruined or intact? It is only the structure that suffered and the people who happened to live in it. Nothing happened to space itself. Similarly, nothing happens to life when forms break down and names are wiped out. The goldsmith melts down old ornaments to make new. Sometimes a good piece goes with the bad. He takes it in his side, for he knows that no gold is lost.

Death is natural, the manner of dying is man-made. Separateness causes fear and aggression, which again cause violence. Do away with man-made separations and all this horror of people killing each other will surely end.

Nisargadatta Maharaj [I Am That]

This profound excerpt from Nisargadatta Maharaj beautifully captures the heart of non-dual awareness—the unchanging, timeless essence that remains untouched amid the constant flux of forms, thoughts, and events. 🕉️

Like the space in a collapsing building or the gold in melted ornaments, pure consciousness witnesses without being scarred by birth, death, or destruction; it is the silent backdrop where “nothing ever happens.” 🌌

The teaching wisely links human suffering—fear, aggression, and violence—to our illusion of separateness, urging us to dissolve those mental boundaries for true peace. 🕊️

It’s a powerful reminder to rest in that motionless awareness here and now, transcending the drama of the personal self. 🧘‍♂️

From local melodies to global symphonies—nobody does it like the Maestro. Happy World Raaja Day! 🎶🎼🎵

World Music Day, celebrated annually on June 21, is a global festival encouraging free music performances and community participation in over 120 countries. 🎉🎻🥂

Origins and History: World Music Day, also known as Fête de la Musique, Make Music Day, or Music Day, originated in France in 1982. The idea was conceived by Jack Lang, then Minister of Culture, and Maurice Fleuret, Director of Music and Dance at the French Ministry of Culture. They aimed to bring music into everyday life with the guiding principle: “music everywhere and concerts nowhere”. The first celebration took place in Paris on the summer solstice, inviting both professional and amateur musicians to perform freely in streets, parks, and public spaces.

Global Celebration: Since its inception, World Music Day has spread internationally and is now celebrated in more than 1,000 cities across 120–130 countries, including the UK, Italy, India, Australia, Canada, Japan, and the United States. Each country may have its own name for the event, such as Festa della Musica in Italy or Swieto Muzyki in Poland. UNESCO recognizes the day as a cultural celebration promoting music for all.

How It Is Celebrated: World Music Day is open to everyone, regardless of age, skill level, or musical genre. Musicians perform in streets, plazas, parks, cafés, and public buildings, often for free. The festival encourages collaboration among singers, instrumentalists, bands, choirs, and DJs, creating a vibrant, community-driven atmosphere. Events range from street performances and amateur jam sessions to organized concerts, all designed to make music accessible to the public.

Significance: The date, June 21, coincides with the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, providing the longest day of sunlight for outdoor festivities. The celebration emphasizes inclusivity, creativity, and the joy of music, fostering cultural exchange and community engagement. It also serves as a platform for discovering new music and supporting local artists.

Participation: Anyone can participate by performing, attending, or organizing local events. Many cities have local chapters or community groups coordinating performances, and organizations like the Make Music Alliance in the U.S. help facilitate nationwide participation. Whether as a musician or audience member, World Music Day encourages everyone to share and enjoy music freely.

Step 1: Remove filters in Reflecting Pool because Obama put them in.
Step 2: Give your criminal neighbor who runs "Greenwater Services" a $20 million no-bid contract to paint the pool.
Step 3: Fill the pool with water from the Potomac River, the phosphates from which cause algae blooms.
Step 4: Freshly sealed pool and extreme heat result in a super scum event
Step 5: Direct National Park Service to dump hydrogen peroxide into the pool which causes the paint to peel.

That’s a powerful and timeless observation from Krishnamurti.

At its core, he’s pointing to the mirror: wars, violence, and division in the world aren’t just “out there” caused by distant leaders or abstract systems. They are extensions of the inner fragmentation each of us carries—our personal antagonisms, tribal identifications, unresolved fears, comparisons, and psychological conflicts.

Krishnamurti repeatedly stressed that real change cannot be imposed from the outside through ideologies, revolutions, or institutions alone. Those often just rearrange the same inner mess on a larger scale. True peace requires a radical inward revolution: seeing our own conditioning clearly, without escape or further conflict. When the mind is no longer at war with itself, it stops projecting that war outward.

This doesn’t mean ignoring practical realities—diplomacy, economics, power balances, or deterring aggression all matter in the messy world. But the quote cuts deeper: if enough individuals truly ended their own inner divisions, the collective momentum toward large-scale violence would lose its fuel.

It’s challenging because it’s personal. It’s easier to condemn “the other side” than to examine one’s own reactivity, prejudices, and attachments. Krishnamurti’s invitation is uncomfortable precisely because it’s uncompromisingly honest.

Are you reflecting on current events ? I’d be interested in your thoughts on how this applies in practice.

🚨 Just In: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

“The United States has only one concern: that we do not possess a nuclear bomb. This is something that the late Leader repeatedly stated as well that we do not want a nuclear bomb.

The Americans said, “Just put that in writing and sign it,” and we signed it.”

This statement from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is essentially reaffirming Iran’s official long-standing position on nuclear weapons.

In simpler terms, he is saying:
- Iran’s stated concern is that the U.S. wants guarantees it will not develop a nuclear bomb.
- Iran claims it already accepts that position internally.

And according to him, both sides have now put that commitment into writing as part of an agreement process.

What it means in context:
🇺🇸 The U.S. priority: preventing nuclear weapon development.
🇮🇷 Iran’s message: “we don’t want a nuclear bomb anyway, so we agreed to formalize that.”
🧾 The “signing” reference likely relates to implementation steps of a broader memorandum or framework deal, not necessarily a final comprehensive peace treaty.

Iran may face the same cautionary path as Iraq and Libya over the next 10 or 20 years. Both are countries that gave up, or lacked nuclear weapons and faced "regime change," unlike North Korea who has a nuclear program, which is viewed as a guarantee of nation survival.

So, about the Reflecting Pool kerfuffle.
Here's what I'd do.

After the 4th, I'd put an end to the insanity by having the entire thing drained and excavated... completely. And I mean stem to stern.

Then I'd commission an entirely new pool to be constructed (foundation and all), along with modern solutions and tech built into its maintenance.

It'd probably extend into next Spring to finish, but that's the price we pay for existing alongside TDS-fueled lunatics.

At this point, I couldn't care less about the cost either. I think we've all had more than enough of this nonsense. Our nation deserves better.

Indeed, and they would have to make it deeper too, because it being as shallow as it is is a major part of the problem. The water heats up fast in the sun, creating perfect conditions for algae blooms in stagnant areas, and it makes consistent circulation much harder.

But I think a possibly more cost effective method would be new piping and filters in the piping from the source where they refill it from, maybe even make that source a closed system, where they can just pump it straight from a tank. I believe the algae came from when they filled it up with spores in the pipes.

They are already doing some of this with the existing recirculation system from the Tidal Basin, plus the new ozone and nanobubble setup installed this year for about 1.7 million dollars. But it is not enough for a pool this huge and shallow.

Add stronger constant recirculation through upgraded filtration, along with low-profile fountains or bottom bubblers placed strategically. Run them for two 30-minute bursts during lighter crowd times in the day, and continuously from 1 or 2am until 5am at night. This would oxygenate the water, reduce dead zones, and fight algae without messing up the daytime reflections.

But in the end this is about beautifying our Capital and even if it is much more expensive, it's worth it. 🫡🇺🇸

They looked into that but it would take many millions of dollars and YEARS to complete. Trump may start the project, but if a dem gets the presidency they’ll abandon it or turn it into a woke abomination.

Algae will grow in water like that. Just needs regular maintenance to keep it from being 10 truckloads of algae and goose poop. Algae grows really well when vandals are dumping algae into the pool.

Copper elements in place would help a lot, but D.C. thugs would just steal it all.

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: President Trump confirms the sealant peeling off the Lincoln Reflecting Pool is VANDALISM that will now be REPAIRED

The algae is 75% gone 👏🏻

LEFTISTS WANT FILTH!

“We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, D.C. Things are really looking good in our Nation’s Capital, and add to that the fact that when I became President, Crime was rampant, and now, Washington, D.C., is one of the Safest Cities anywhere in the United States.”

“However, we’ve had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, which sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial. Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they’ve also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed.”

“No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work.”

“Lightweight ABC Reporter, Jonathan Karl, was seen sticking his hand into the Pool, and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface.”

“The algae is 75% gone, and the condition will soon be completely remedied, and the area that was vandalized, fortunately, is just a small area of damage, and will be fixed early next week.”

“It’s a shame that the Radical Left Lunatics, most likely Dumocats, who have spent their lives trying to ruin our Country, are free to do so. Law Enforcement is actively investigating this situation, and will hopefully have it resolved soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was reengineered during the 2009-2012 renovation (Obama administration, ARRA-funded) to draw, filter, and recirculate water from the Tidal Basin instead of city potable water.

Yes, that makes algae control harder. Tidal Basin/Potomac water carries higher phosphates and nutrients that fuel blooms (confirmed in recent tests). The prior system used cleaner municipal water. Residual algae from construction lines is now visible as the system restarts.

👇 There should be aqueducts that carry water from the Potomac River to the Reflecting Pool and then discharge into the Tidal Basin to create a continuous flow of fresh water from the Potomac. Does this system already exist? Explain how a continuous flow of fresh water from the Potomac to the Reflecting Pool is created.

Yes, a similar system has existed since the 2012 renovation.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool draws water from the Tidal Basin (a Potomac River inlet). It’s pumped to a treatment plant for filtration/purification, fed into the pool, and continuously recirculated back through the system. This creates ongoing flow to reduce stagnation—unlike static filling with city water before.

Recent 2026 work added basin coating and purification upgrades, though algae issues can still occur during startup or in summer conditions. The setup uses modern pipes/pumps rather than open aqueducts.

Law enforcement is on it. Fix it fast and lock ‘em up!

MAGA is making America BEAUTIFUL again!

NOW: National Guard troops are monitoring the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool like HAWKS after a man was arrested for jumping into the pool RIPPING SEALANT off the bottom

Deranged lefts are literally VANDALIZING the pool just to “get Trump”

INSANE to think this is where we are as a country.

Vandalizing national monuments is a federal crime. It's a felony that can carry a 10 year federal prison sentence and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and restitution. These leftist vandals need to get the maximum punishment.

Even if it was Obama or Biden doing the work in Washington, a normal person would say well at least they’re doing that right. Instead, we really do have these self-absorbed radicals!!! Sad!

Journalist: “You have a lot of experience with world leaders. What is your definition of a great leader?” 🎤

Trump: “All my life, I’ve watched India. They just kept changing, changing. Someone would be there for six months, then a year. All of a sudden, Modi has been there for more than 12 years. Very solid. There is a great calmness in him, but he is not a calm person. He is a very tough person.” 🗣️

What Trump meant to say was that India was unstable before PM Modi. After Rajiv Gandhi’s death, India saw 30 years of political instability. Various parties were creating a mess. PM Modi put an end to that and firmly recentralized power at the top, maintaining stability ever since. 🇮🇳

It is truly heartwarming to see our Prime Minister being recognized on such a global stage. A big thank you to Mr. President for your kind words! It is moments like these that make us proud to be part of this incredible nation. 💕
