Except Godavari, I have never liked any of Sekhar Kammula's films, or any of his heroes or heroines! And I have never liked any of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's films or characters either! I prefer nuance, and films that entertain me without taking things too far in either direction!
For a state that is still struggling with capital formation, infrastructure development, and the creation of meaningful opportunities for its youth, allocating public resources to this is a deeply misplaced priority and an indefensible abuse of taxpayers' money!
🚨 NTR’s 600-foot statue project at Neerukonda in Amaravati is being expedited, with designs, technical studies and tender process underway.
The project is targeted for completion within two years. #AndhraPradesh
There should be no limit on bouncers!
Boundaries must be pushed back!
Ball hitting the stumps should be out, regardless of whether the bails fall or not!
Better alternative must be created to replace NRR! Pitches like Chennai and Bengaluru, for example, represent two extremes!
Dear @IAF_MCC,
Just finished watching Operation Safed Sagar. It made me think about how different life is for the people who are out there, carrying the pressure and uncertainty, while the rest of us are able to sleep peacefully and carry on with our everyday lives.
I had met Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa many years ago. Watching Operation Safed Sagar now, and seeing what he and so many others went through during Kargil, made me look back at that meeting with a deeper sense of appreciation.
The courage is extraordinary. So is the discipline and mental strength behind it.
I feel fortunate to be associated with the IAF and to have an understanding of the values that define it. Watching this story only made me more grateful.
Thank you for everything you do for us. Jai Hind!
We do not really see supremely choreographed songs anymore because the hook steps need to be easily replicable for Instagram reel merchants! The same goes for song lyrics too! It is one of the factors that is clearly diminishing the art! But I suppose that's the way it is now!

మా తెలుగు కవి బమ్మెర పోతన గారిని మననం చేసుకుంటే:
ఇందు గలఁడందు లేఁడని
సందేహము వలదు చక్రి సర్వోపగతుం
డెం దెందు వెదకి చూచిన
నందందే కలఁడు దానవాగ్రణి వింటే
ఆ స్వామిని ఒక ప్రాంతానికే పరిమితం చేయాలని ప్రయత్నించడం మూర్ఖత్వం!

Two of England’s greatest unveiled at Lord’s this evening.

A portrait befitting of two absolute legends of the game.
The SC/ST Atrocities Act is India’s own blasphemy law.
Like Pakistan’s blasphemy law, it is widely misused. Like blasphemy cases, allegations can destroy lives before guilt is established. Like blasphemy, you can be booked for “insulting” figures who have been dead for centuries. And like blasphemy laws, its language is dangerously broad.
But there is one difference: the scale is far greater. It is more draconian.
The number of people destroyed by system under the SC/ST Act is vastly greater than those prosecuted under Pakistan’s blasphemy laws.
No country can call itself civilized if it implements laws like blasphemy and SC/ST Atrocity act.
Either reform it or abolish it. #StopMisuseOfScStAct
70% of the freedom fighters executed by the British were Brahmins.
They sacrificed their lives for the country. But what exactly did their sacrifice achieve?
Today their children and grandchildren are discriminated against by the Government. They are labelled as "oppressors" and systematically barred from education and jobs.
Is this how a country should honor those who gave up their lives for her?

(PS: I have not independently verified the numbers)
Right.
My bad.
We should agree to 75% reservation and draconian SC/ST act misuse, so that Sanatan can survive!!
BTW, I am curious.
Saving Sanatan is the responsibility of only GCs?
Purely from the players I was privileged enough to watch, and who left a huge impact on me! Those who were arguably the best in their position or carried a tremendous weight for their teams!

Today is one of the most emotional days of my life. I genuinely don’t have the words to express what I am feeling right now.
Exactly four years ago I started speaking about reservation reforms.
I was abused. Mocked. Trolled. Threatened. I even got SC/ST Act notice by Delhi Police. But I kept going.
For four years, I wrote thousands of posts and made hundreds of videos on the issues. People I had never met started reaching out to me & sharing their stories.
The last four years have not been easy. I have lost work because I chose to associate myself with this movement. I have lost friendships. I have been attacked by trolls and IT cells. There were attempts to intimidate and silence me in every possible way.
I rarely spoke about any of this. Because for me, the cause was always bigger than my career, my comfort, my friendships, or anything I could personally lose.
And today…
When I stood back and saw thousands of people at Jantar Mantar demanding reservation reforms, I honestly felt something I cannot put into words.
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. ❤️
This is only the beginning!!
When I first started writing about Reservation issues 4–5 years ago, I never imagined I’d witness a protest this huge.
Super proud of everyone who became part of this fight.
