Yes, we had a disappointing weekend in cricket.

But at the same time, I often find myself rubbing my eyes in disbelief at India’s growing competitiveness in sports where I never imagined we’d even be globally competitive.

Volleyball. Fencing. Gymnastics. Rowing. Athletics. The list keeps growing.

Yes, we’re far from the top step of the podium yet.

However, something’s clearly changing at the ground level.

Years of effort by governments, both state and central, (outstanding example being Odisha) along with private sector organisations like OGQ and many others, may finally be starting to pay off..

But it is the individual sportspersons, this new generation of champions with grit, resilience and self-belief, who are my #MondayMotivation.

Joao Fonseca on how he beat Djokovic:

"I hit up Wawrinka before the match, he advised me to have two double decker burgers. Said Novak can't handle a fat man's forehand at Chatrier."

Bloomberg is very negative about India. Why give an interview to an anti- Indian platform?

The purpose of this interview was to pin down our CDS on loss of our aircraft so that the focus and narrative remains on Pakistan’s “success” and not that of India in hitting at the terrorist HQs and major airbases inside Pakistan, exposing the ineffectiveness of its air defence system.

Why fall into this western media trap? A better answer might have been to ask the journalist to talk instead about the price we made Pakistan pay for its truck with terror.

Majority People outside Defence circle don't know that we heavily depend on USA for our current & Future Fighter Jet be it Tejas MK-1/MK-1A, Tejas MK2 & AMCA MK-1 Stealth Jet.

And we very well know track record of US, they can stop Engine supply any time they want during tensions in near future.

So funding & development of Own Jet Engine is must..

IMF goes with a known terror state disregards a law abiding nation. America does nothing as Pak gets its $1bn bailout. Shehbaz Sharif expresses satisfaction.The review approval brings disbursements to $2 billion within the $7 billion program.

-#Pakistan was hiding its terrorists behind women & children
-Stoops to another low
-Allows FlyNAS #Dammam #Lahore flight during intense shelling & drone attack
-#IndianAirForce showed restraint & stopped all operations to save passengers
-Only one word comes to my mind: COWARDS

The One Nation One Subscription (ONOS) scheme for providing countrywide access to research publications is the greatest gift of @narendramodi govt to the scientific community of India 🙏. Indian scientists used to struggle getting access to expensive research articles.

Astrazenica Admits!!!

News agencies reported that Astrazenica has admitted for the first time that its vaccine causes blood clots.

1. OMG, the pharma mafia! What should be done?

2. We took Astrazenica vaccine in the name of Covishield. Was information withheld from us?

3. So many people are dying suddenly because of heart disease. Now are we sure that vaccine has caused all those deaths?

4. We have taken Astrazenica Vaccine. Now what should we do, not to die suddenly because of clots?

Let’s answer these and more questions one by one. 1/n
