We all know this happened — and while this uncle says “undisclosed amount”, we know the likes of @rupasubramanya & @dhume sold their souls for 2 rupees per piece.

Had a lot of fun interviewing the comedian Nimesh Patel about Indian Americans. For someone known for his laid-back stoner vibe, he has long introspected seriously about Indian American identity, politics and religion. Sharing the link to the interview.

I have Microsoft Office installed on my Mac.
A perpetual license. Bought outright.
So last week, Microsoft pushed an update which essentially bricked it. Couldn't create new documents, only read existing ones, with a banner saying "upgrade" to 365.
Well, no.
There was a way around it. Delete it all, reinstall, then rip out all of the code enabling updates. Working fine.
But this criminal stupidit probably upset someone a bit more vindictive than me. Today we see the result.

NORWAY DEMANDS ANSWERS
Norway's Editors' Association and Press Association have sent an open letter to India's Embassy in Oslo over @HelleLyngSvends's visa.
They want the reasons — and a guarantee Norwegian reporters won't be barred for asking hard questions.
Earlier, Editors Guild of India called Helle Lyng's visa cancellation "deeply concerning."

Oh man, the tangle he gets into! RG should debate in Parliament but wait, if debate is the way why have elections... ?
By that logic, why have Parliament? 🤷♂️
BTW, @AmitShah said in Parliament, December 2025, that SIR is run by the EC which is not under govt control and so Parliament cannot debate it.
Rahul Gandhi should have this debate in the Lok Sabha. After all, that is the highest forum of our democracy.
But before that, he must answer 3 questions :
1.If he loses the debate, will he resign from the Lok Sabha?
2.If the outcome is to be decided through a debate, why do we need elections at all?
3.Since the Congress has several better speakers than him, shouldn’t they get the first chance?
Democracy is about debate, but it is also about accountability. #LetsDebate

According to Pat Cummins three batters tampered with the ball for their bowlers without even letting them know. How stupid does he think we are? Does he really expect us to believe that?

Why the BJP was so desperate to win #Gokul dairy elections:
A 4100-crore turnover and lucrative contracts, an enviable network of lakhs of milk producers, and a looming threat from Gujarat.
I write this deep dive for @thewire_in.

Assam demolishes homes of 132 Bengali Muslim families who were displaced in 1983 riots. @scroll_in
The families alleged that the authorities had selectively targeted them as their Hindu neighbours were not evicted.

CURIOUS CASE OF THE VIKAS YADAV GHOST IDENTITY SCANDAL in UP SIR.
One person. 13 voter IDs. Multiple identities. And a trail of unexplained electoral roll modifications in UP.
How did a 19 year old Vikas Yadav end up with 13 voter ID cards and after final SIR roll was published in Feb, why did some of his voter IDs later appear under completely different names, genders and identities?
What began as a case of multiple voter registrations has uncovered a far more disturbing pattern in the electoral records of Uttar Pradesh.

It is hard to fathom the lack of judgment shown by the IOC (US President) in distributing a PDF copy of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi’s memoir. Someone needs to talk some sense into him.

Has Deepinder Goyal publshed any new "scientific" paper on his Temple device? Because these kinds of "i'll scratch your back, you scratch mine" kind of suckup pieces wont work.
The author, Rakesh Shivran, is co-founder of OneCare, now part of Acko Team - "the move helps Acko expand from pure-play health insurance into an end-to-end healthcare and chronic disease management ecosystem (incorporating wearables, data insights, virtual care, and physical clinics)."
Note the point - wearables.
Clowns.

The best sort of book reviews apparently come from people who have not read the book being scrutinised.

Hello @ceoup, In the process of deleting duplicates, Are you removing the names of people in the final SIR rolls?
In Final Roll, Kanchan Rajbhar had three Epic ids. Now all three are deleted. Instead of deleted her two duplicate ids and keeping one. All three are deleted?
