It's a huge to loss to every Indian young parent, and their child.
Dr Sivaranjani Santosh had resigned from the Indian Academy of Paediatrics (IAP) ater an eight-year long fight against fruit-based, non-carbonated beverages marketing themselves as Oral Rehydration Solution
My heart breaks to see crass Modi demolish Udyog Bhavan to build his pet Gujarati architect's ugly Central Secretariat Bldg. Bhavan was pride of Independent India's Indo Saracenic art, Rajasthani Chhatris & Chhajas blended with Europe's Beaux-Arts and Neo-classical architecture
a standing ovation for daraxonrasib at asco. over 40k oncologists, entrepreneurs, investors, and patient advocates together celebrating revmed's breakthru in the fight against pancreatic cancer. u never forget these moments. it's what innovation is all about.
"If we lose test cricket, we will lose the cricket we truly know. History remembers legendary test careers not franchise triumphs. Cricket without Tests has no real meaning. Winning a T20 World Cup may put you at the centre of world cricket today, but whether that is truly good for the game remains open to debate.
Test cricket earned its name because it challenges every quality a player possesses, technique, patience, temperament,endurance and character. It is not simply about clearing the ropes for entertainment; It is about battling through pressure, adapting to conditions, and surviving the physical and mental demands of five intense days"

Nobody outside the Delhi Gymkhana Club will shed tears for the Modi government’s sudden eviction notice on ‘security’ grounds. The 113-year-old club sits on 27 acres of prime land, its membership dominated by former bureaucrats and retired military.
But what’s actually rich is the rhetoric. TV channels owned by billionaires Gautam Adani, Mukesh Ambani and Subhash Chandra are discovering their inner social-justice warriors, decrying the club’s cheap gin-and-tonics.
Like global populists, Modi pretends to take on the elite while overseeing the greatest concentration of power in Indian history.
To cover it all up, sometimes you need easy targets.
My @ThePrintIndia column.
University of California STEM professors want standardized tests back due to severe math deficiencies among students:
“We now observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle school mathematics”
“The current admissions metric, based primarily on GPA & essays, can no longer reliably distinguish readiness for university-level STEM majors in an era of severe grade inflation & AI assisted application essays”
This sounds nice, but it's a great way to undermine the welfare state.
The strongest welfare states in the world (the Nordics) tax everyone, including nurses. And they give everyone universal healthcare, childcare, pensions, education in return.
When the middle class has skin in the game, they defend the system. When welfare is 'just for the poor', it becomes a poor program: stigmatized, underfunded, easy to gut.
That's why billionaires keep pushing this idea. The real scandal isn't that this nurse pays $12k.
It's that Jeff Bezos pays $0.
“proposals have led to accusations that the hard-right government of Meloni is attempting to shift Italy’s “cultural hegemony”,or dominant ideological norms-a concept developed by one thinker left out of the curriculum:Italian Marxist philosopher Gramsci” https://t.co/LGLg3Qh4PF
No Indian Prime Minister had visited Norway in the last 43 years. But Modi ji went. Do you know why?
On February 27, 2026, Norway’s Sovereign Wealth Fund blacklisted Adani's company, Adani Green Energy.
A massive oil reserve was discovered in Norway's seas in 1990. By selling this oil, Norway started generating a vast amount of money. However, Norway knew that oil would not last forever, so they created a fund and began depositing the oil revenue into it.
Norway invests the money from this fund exclusively outside Norway so that its economy remains unaffected under any circumstances. This fund primarily invests money in the stock market, in lending to other countries, in purchasing properties abroad, and in renewable energy projects like solar and wind energy.
It holds 1.5% of the shares of listed companies worldwide. This Norwegian fund owns shares in 7,200 companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia. The fund has so much money that if it were distributed among every citizen of Norway, each person would receive more than 3 crore rupees.
This fund maintains high ethical standards. It does not invest in companies that manufacture tobacco, produce nuclear weapons, violate human rights, or engage in corruption. It blacklists them. It was precisely due to serious allegations of corruption against Adani that it blacklisted his company.
Now understand the chronology:
No Prime Minister had visited Norway for 43 years. Norway blacklisted Adani Green on February 26, and on May 18, Modi ji arrived in Norway. He got delayed only because the Bengal elections came up in between, otherwise, our beloved Modi ji would not have waited even a single moment for his friend. Is there really anything left to explain?
Over in America, when a case was filed against Adani for allegedly giving a bribe of 2,000 crore rupees, a trade deal was struck with America. Under this deal, the doors of India were opened for American agricultural companies, tariffs were imposed on Indian companies in America, and India received absolutely nothing in return.
A few days later, the American court closed Adani's case permanently. And now, Adani will invest 1 billion dollars in America.
Do you people still have any doubt that the honor of this country is being sold to save Adani?
You people think that the Prime Minister is yours, but Adani has kept the Prime Minister for his own work...
Narendra Modi is compromised.
In June 2017, a UK school banned boys from wearing shorts during a major heatwave.
Since the dress code allowed girls to wear skirts, the boys found a legal loophole and showed up in plaid skirts instead. The peaceful protest worked, and the school changed the policy!
“I told PM Modi that you may have the 5th largest economy in the world but the world respects Gandhi more. The world has not named streets after you like they have for Nehru. I told Modi this and he winced,” says US Congressman Ro Khanna
The newly elected BJP govt in the West Bengal broke a statue commemorating the 1859 Indigo Rebellion in Bongaon. Truly shameful. The struggles and sacrifices of those who fought for freedom is being bulldozed
I know everybody is making jokes and all but do you all realize how serious it is for a country's prime minister to ask citizens to not hoard gold and consume less oil. We are heading towards a very very dangerous future
Suddenly Prime Minister is appealing to farmers that they should avoid fertilizers and move to natural farming. This is insane. Any move away from fertilisers will cause huge food scarcity.Sri Lanka tried it & ended up with food inflation of 50% inviting a mass revolt in 2022.
Today for the first time in the history of Independent India the birthday of #RabindranathTagore was not celebrated officially by the Govt of WB, so people took to the streets to reclaim their own Rabindranath Tagore with songs, poems. The programme not permitted.
