Karishma:
You think the Narendra Modi Stadium could have been better?

Lalit Modi:
If I was today there, I would demolish it and rebuild it completely. Modern escalators, modern kitchens, modern restaurants. Make it a 365 destination. You have shopping malls in the basement. You make it into an entertainment complex. If it needs to be air-cooled or wind-cooled or whatever, today you can do it.

The technology exists. You can put five-star quality bathrooms. Instead of having 10 toilets, put a few hundred toilets. Make them self-cleaning toilets. Make the state-of-the-art infrastructure in there. Make the going in and out of the stadium in five minutes.

The state association is where lies the muck, where lies the gandagi!!! where lies the corruption.

The match is 3 hours, plus you go an hour and a half before. 4 and a half hours, 5 hours with young kids at night, hungry. You make it hygienic. You do all of that, which is missing. It's all about how much money I can make.

A Swiss hotel once displayed a list of special rules exclusively for Indian guests which I personally saw and was appalled.

Today, videos of garba in restaurants, loud conversations in airports, and turning aircraft cabins into picnic spots keep doing the rounds. Even in Davos, an Indian businessman blasted Punjabi music in a club so the whole town could hear it, calling it “soft power” but to everyone’s annoyance.

Japan earned global admiration through their courtesy and civic sense. If India wants to be a true global superpower, the world should remember Indians for its excellence, consideration and respect for others.

Our civic sense seriously needs to be upgraded.

Sharp Edge: I don’t like Raj era clubs and I will never become a member of one. So whatever happens to the Delhi Gym makes no difference to my life.
And yes it may be unfair to charge only a nominal rent to a club that mostly caters to
retired army officers & civil servants
But if you are talking about unfairness why stop at veterans? Why not throw ministers out of their huge houses? Why not take away their motorcades? Ground their private planes?
Today’s Lutyens elite comprises politicians who have run Lutyens Delhi for a decade and live in those huge Lutyens bungalows.Why pamper the new Lutyens elite and persecute soldiers who
have fought for our country and bureaucrats who gave their lives for India ?
Don’t swallow the propaganda & the lies. Don’t let political dadagiri extend to attacking veterans and retired civil servants while politicians live off honest tax payers

By all means run a bulldozer over Delhi Gymkhana. But don’t give the bullshit of exclusivity or privilege or tax payer money. If thats the standard we are living by then shut down Constitution Club; demolish the CSOI where govt land was given at throw away price to babus; shut down DSOI; take back all newspaper properties on BSZ Marg; Take back all lands given to NGOs which are profit centres; demolish IIC and Habitat Centre; stop subsidised food in parliament. MPs get paid so why should their food be subsidised? if they cant afford it, step down from parliament and do something that pays you enough. Shut down the Air Force and Army Golf Clubs, Santushti Centre, Race Club, and the Delhi Flying Club where no one flies anything. The DGC is being targeted because someone has an axe to grind and didnt get membership. Now its being made an elite vs non-elite fight which it isn't. But since we all want to play Bolshevik commies or are inspired by CCP and Khmer Rouge to demolish everything nice, decent, genteel, lets do a comprehensive job of it. Make it all a animal shelter which would warm the cockles of Pol Pot's heart. But please don’t give the BS of security because that is total hogwash. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

- Manish Pandey was Kohli before Kohli.
- Manish Pandey was a better talent than Kohli.
- Manish Pandey had better potential than Virat Kohli.
- India couldn't afford two Virat Kohli so one had to disappear.
- Manish Pandey has more overseas centuries than CSK player Anshul Kamboj.
- Manish Pandey's career was ruined by BCCI.

Today those late cuts, straight drives, finding the gap with ease, hitting sixes with authority and then getting out to Bumrah reminded all of us what a talent he was and he genuinely was Kohli before Kohli.

Manish Pandey शायद क्रिकेट जगत में सबसे ज्यादा बदनसीब खिलाड़ी जिसने कुछ भी गलत नहीं किया फिर भी मौके नहीं मिले।

आज के समय में लोग क्रिकेटर के फिटनेस की बात करते हैं, मनीष पांडेय सबसे ज्यादा फिट खिलाड़ी है, उनकी फिटनेस लेवल विराट कोहली से भी ज्यादा है।

आईपीएल क्रिकेट में सबसे पहला शतक लगाने वाले भारतीय खिलाड़ी थे, आरसीबी के लिए 2009 मनीष पांडेय 114 रन बनाए थे।

2014 के आईपीएल फाइनल में पंजाब के खिलाफ 94 रन की मैच जिताऊ पारी खेली।

जनवरी 2016 में ऑस्ट्रेलिया के खिलाफ सिडनी क्रिकेट ग्राउंड पर खेली उनकी 104 रन की मैच जिताऊ पारी को कोई कैसे भूल सकता है।

अपने अंतर्राष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट के डेब्यू मैच 2015 में शानदार 71 रनों की पारी जिम्बाब्वे के खिलाफ खेल कर मैच जीता दिए।

लेकिन अंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट तो छोड़ दीजिए उन्हें आईपीएल में कोलकाता नाइट राइडर भी पर्याप्त मौके नहीं दे पा रही है।

Manish Pandey कल के मैच में एक अद्भुत कैच पकड़े जरूर लेकिन उन्हें कल के मैच में भी बल्लेबाजी करने का मौका नहीं मिला।

मेरे हिसाब से चार नंबर पर बल्लेबाजी करने के लिए एक दम परफेक्ट खिलाड़ी हैं, मनीष पांडेय लेकिन शायद उनकी प्रतिभा के साथ न्याय नहीं हो पा रहा है।

क्या आप लोग बता सकते हैं, कि विराट कोहली से ज्यादा फिट खिलाड़ी मनीष पांडेय का yoyo टेस्ट में कितने नंबर थे।

[FrancescaMarino @francescam63]

‘Your land’ was born in 1948 solely on religious base, carved from what it was for centuries India. Panini and Pingala were not Pakistani nor Muslims. Have some respect for history. There’s nothing called ‘ancient Pakistani’.

Destination weddings as well as foreign travel offer far better value for money than traveling in India or holding events in India.

Indian companies running hotels and airlines fleece customers, offer third rate service at sky high prices - other countries have better products and services because their business and credit ecosystems empower their entrepreneurs to deliver such products and services.

Let us not guilt trip Indians who deserve to spend their hard earned, tax paid money with the best ROI. Self flagellation is not a growth strategy.

People wonder why older folks hate Congress.

This is why. He says Nicobar project must be stopped.

Nicobar sits at the mouth of a strait that is choke point of all the ships coming and going to China.

Iran has been able to hold the world hostage by choking a strait. India can literally choke China with minimal effort if Nicobar is developed. Hence Nicobar must not be developed

Second - Singapore has built an economy around transshipment port. Nicobar could be a potential transshipment port for all the ships that cross the strait. Hence it must be stopped.

[Jonty Rhodes @JontyRhodes8]

Watching @ShreyasIyer15 perform that acrobatic fielding to assist in taking the “team catch “ made me appreciate how fielding has evolved since my retirement. For a long time, I felt like the “father of fielding”, but watching these modern athletes with their timing and awareness on the boundary line, makes me feel like the “grandfather of fielding”! I spent 99% of my career fielding in the inner circle, and when I started working as a fielding coach, there was no focus on the modern day “hotspots” on the boundaries. It was only when I started working with @mipaltan and saw Kieron Pollard, and then Glenn Maxwell, performing these incredible “airborne saves” on the boundaries that we started focusing on not only taking catches off balls that were already beyond the rope, but even saving the ball from going for a sixer, and forcing the batters to run only 1 or 2. With impact players transforming the way that batters can continuously attack the bowling, even with the loss of 4-5 wickets, bowlers need to be backed up by their fielders, and Shreyas’ spectacular“catch and release” was a perfect example of that. But let’s face it; when your head coach is @RickyPonting, one of the greatest fielders in the game, it should not come as a great surprise to see such incredible feats in the field!

[Vikas Khanna @TheVikasKhanna]

When God has a plan…

From selling bhatura chole at Vivek Public School in 1989,
to opening Lawrence Garden Banquet from the back of my house in Amritsar in 1990.
In 1991, I chose culinary arts—
a decision that embarrassed almost everyone except my grandmother.

There were years of humiliation I rarely speak about.
Moments that nearly broke me.
In 2000, when my banquet was torn down, I almost gave up.
Instead, I moved to the United States and started over.

Cleaning homes.
Selling food on the streets of TriBeCa.
Sleeping at Grand Central.
Experiencing homelessness at NYC Rescue.
Sleepless nights.
Being called “Curry Boy” on the 7 train.

And still, I kept going.
From there…
8 Michelin stars.
Then losing myself again.
Then starting over—one last time as a promise to my sister—with Bungalow.

And now…
TIME100 Most Influential People in the World 2026.
I’m still trying to process it.
The journey continues.

Food for thought.

Yes, the New Great Game is unfolding.

No nation stands to gain more from a closure of the Strait of Hormuz than the United States, across the short, medium, and long term.

This logic is embedded in President Trump’s National Security Strategy, with the Trump Doctrine now visible in practice. Strategically, China loses on multiple fronts with Hormuz closed: seaborne Middle Eastern supplies are constrained just as Venezuelan crude is increasingly redirected toward the U.S. Gulf Coast on short, politically secure routes. At the same time, the Strait of Malacca, and with it, the broader Malacca Dilemma, moves to the center of gravity. In parallel, the Sunda, Lombok, Makassar, and Mindoro Straits remain critical arteries for Chinese trade and energy flows.

Together, they constitute the geographic chokepoints of Beijing’s vulnerability, and Washington is acutely aware of this. Yes, the New Great Game is unfolding, and Wall Street has yet to comprehend the consequences.
