Once again, I think people from all walks of life can be stylish. Some photos of Afghan men from Robert Spangle's book Afghan Style. I don't think style is about money, body type, posture, skin color, ethnic background, or whatever else. I only focus on outfits, not other stuff.
@Yaduvam Throwback to the aughts! Languid summer afternoons; lazy, stretched-out moments. The scent of sun-baked #Narmada and a faint rhythm of #RehwaSociety looms. #MustVisit
@jsensarma@prakdadlani Firstly, the reddit post was about B2C exports, not B2B exports. Chalk and whipped cream!

Dear @RBI: Do not let the psychology of Rs 100 per dollar determine your policy response. 100 is just a number, like 99 and 101. Whether the oil shortage is short-lived or long-lived, the right response at this moment is to let the rupee depreciate. 1/6
@theskindoctor13 Oh, he was the master of "studied carelessness." Skill with nonchalance made his renditions immidiately relatable. The opposite happens across singing comp TV series: alankar overkill! (meend, vibrato, gamak, khatka, murki). Add digital prodn, voila! "Forgettable extravaganza"
Such a great sari drape! Reminded of @dieworkwear's take (quoting from memory): For an outfit to be visually interesting, it must have shape and drape. It needs to have a distinct silhouette. The fabric needs to hang and move in interesting ways. #SlimFitAntithesis
Economy of India, Consolidated Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2026!
Bookmarked it. Read it three times. Will keep connecting the dots for a long time! Another stellar essay by @hchawlah ❤️🔥
The shock didn’t create the weakness.
It exposed it.
Haresh Chawla @hchawlah on what the Gulf crisis is revealing about India’s economy — and why reform just got harder.

“Since I’ve entered to politics, I’ve learned that the line doesn’t go out from the middle to the left and right. It goes in a circle. I’ll show you ….. You go far enough LEFT, eventually you’ll meet someone who’s gone far enough right to get to the same place.
Working-class socialist like me, working-class nationalist like you.
The result? National socialism.
And THAT’S ME, IN THE MIDDLE. Just a man, trying to make AN HONEST LIVING in a very DARK WORLD.”

@thekaipullai Undoubtedly, a major issue facing India! I have come to agree with @sanjeevsanyal's hypothesis: (a) loss of civilizational pride, (b) povertarian mindset.
"We cannot software-engineer our way to prosperity without building the hardware of a nation." @hchawlah is back with the most clear-eyed take on things as they stand!
Spot on observations frm @RajatSethi86! Permanent bureaucracy is India's weakest link! 8 decades of tinkering myriads of proximate causes, leaving aside the root cause unaddressed. A must watch for anyone wondering what plagues India (whole discussion 👇)

Here @RajatSethi86 speaks the unvarnished truth about our red-taped systems, but there is another side to the story and that’s the ‘private bureaucracy’ created by the spiderweb of CAs and CS (India being one of the rare countries to have these roles, and mandate such roles even in small companies) where then a ‘middleman system’ is created keeping these so called professionals occupied at the expense of growth capital and time.

@palepurshankar@SreeIyer1 Starting at 16:00, the best 30-min monologue, touching upon #Galwan, military leadership, and political discourse, I have ever heard!! General @palepurshankar at his candid best, pulling no punches! This is #dharma 👏 🔥❤️🔥
