On this day in 2008, India won the CB series and what a ride that was.
Matches every Tuesday, Friday, Sunday, that whole month just felt like a festival. It came right after that heated Australia Test series, so the emotions were already high. Then in the finals, Sachin just did Sachin things.
So many youngsters stepped up too including Rohit. Felt a bit for James Hopes though, the way he fought till the very end.
That CB Series always remains my all time favourite outside ICC tournaments.
Sh Saurabh Sharma - A “simple” RTO constable in Madhya Pradesh’s traffic department had 52 Kg of Gold, 234 Kg of Silver, 50 crore villa in Dubai and 400 crores of assets
All these with a salary of just ₹28,000 per month 🤡
POWER OF SIP 🔥
Meet Sweety Boora
- Int'l boxer from Haryana
- Threw garbage on the road
- Local Almora boy requested her to pick it up and use the nearby dustbin
- Instead, she slapped him, hit him with the classic “Do you know who I am?”
- Even tried to snatch his phone
Zero civic sense 🤡
Capitalism- like it or not is a Western word - also implies polarisation- greed in some parts - and not identifiable by most of 1.4 billion 🇮🇳 ( not on X 🤷♂️). We have not evangelised Failure enough for all to know what it takes to be successful- the road to that in most cases needs the toughest to Outlast most - We all know value creation comes first - you create value for multiple others first and only then does wealth creation happen for self - but that is ‘lost in translation’ - we need to coin our own word for - success after multiple failures - and the ability to Outlast most others , and junk Capitalism- the original patriarchal and Industrialist image has not got the new economy any brownie points either and we speak even less about giving back and the balance that needs to be in a country like 🇮🇳 @vijayshekhar@deepigoyal@sbikh@kunalb11

Dear friends, we need your help.
The Citizens Generics vs. Branded Drugs Project is now LIVE! for your contributions.
India is the "Pharmacy of the World," supplying 20% of global generic medicines. Yet millions of Indian patients remain trapped between unaffordable branded drugs and generics they don't trust.
We're changing that through citizen-funded science.
The question we're answering: Is your affordable medicine just as effective as the expensive brand—or are you compromising your health to save money?
Our project analyses essential medicines across critical therapeutic categories to rigorous laboratory analysis:
✅Antibiotics - Azithromycin, Amoxicillin, Rifaximin
✅Heart & Blood Pressure - Telmisartan, Amlodipine, Clopidogrel, Atorvastatin, Aspirin
✅Diabetes & Gout - Metformin, Febuxostat
✅Digestive Health - Pantoprazole, Omeprazole, Ranitidine, UDCA
✅Pain & Inflammation - Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Prednisolone
✅Allergy & Respiratory - Montelukast, Cetirizine
✅Thyroid & Supplements - Thyroxine, Folic Acid, Calcium+Vitamin D
For each medicine, we compare Branded Drugs, Branded Generics, Jan Aushadhi, Trade and Local Generics (State Government, Generic Aadhar & Dava India)—testing what patients actually buy from pharmacies.
22 types of medicines, 2-4 categories, 133 drugs in total!
All testing is conducted in FDA & NABL-accredited laboratories using country standards:
- Weight Variation Test — to ensure uniformity of dosage units within a batch
- Identification — to confirm authenticity of the active pharmaceutical ingredient
- Assay Testing — Does the tablet contain what the label claims?
- Dissolution Testing — Does the medicine release properly in your body?
- Impurity Profiling — Are there harmful contaminants?
This project is 100% publicly funded with your help! —no pharmaceutical company sponsorship, no conflicts of interest.
Every Indian deserves medicines that are safe, effective, and trusted—regardless of price.
This is brought to you by The Mission for Ethics and Science in Healthcare (MESH).

Bruh, calm down… you cleared an exam, not discovered electricity 😅😅
Really?? Trolling Bumrah? Hope you aren't among those but If you are, fair to say you have no idea of what you have to endure to become a Bumrah. And you have no appreciation for one of India's greatest matchwinners who, as it turns out, bowls more overs than almost any other bowler.
