A friend recently asked me which digital payments app I was using.
When I told her, she promptly asked, “Why not use BHIM, our very own Indian app?”
I admitted I didn’t know much about it.
“Well, let me introduce you to someone you’ll enjoy meeting.”
That someone was Dilip Asbe, MD & CEO of the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI).
Dilip kindly agreed to come over for a chat.
That conversation was illuminating, to put it mildly.
We all know the payment apps we use every day. PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM…
But think of them as trains running on a railway network.
NPCI provides the tracks.
And what an extraordinary railway India has built!
In September, UPI alone processed over 2,400 crore transactions. That’s more than 80 crore transactions every single day!
India is now the world’s largest real-time payments market. A true global force multiplier.
And Dilip has been one of the key people behind that remarkable achievement.
His mind is buzzing with plans to build more ‘railroads’ that will enable new apps in wider financial spheres.
But here’s what struck me most about him.
Not the scale of his achievement. Not his knowledge of the technology.
His humility.
Dilip is well known in financial & technology circles. But I met a man with no airs, no sense of self-importance & seemingly little interest in the spotlight.
Just immense pride in what his team has accomplished & a genuine sense of privilege at being able to serve his country.
I also learned that his mother was a teacher.
Perhaps I’m biased, but I’ve always believed that mothers who are teachers have a special knack for instilling values that last a lifetime. And I couldn’t help wondering if that explained something about Dilip’s grounded personality.
People like him derive their satisfaction not from being seen, but from seeing their work make a difference.
Thank you, Dilip, for the conversation. And for reminding me that ambition & humility can indeed travel together on the railroad to success.
And I’ve switched to the BHIM app now!

Thanks to TM, we now know
Food that we eat may not actually be the food we wanted to eat.
And this is true irrespective of the brand, size, reputation and "stars".
It could be rotten. It could be expired. It could be made in surroundings having insects and rats. It could even have chemicals or other elements not fit for consumption.
God bless @Tukaram_IndIAS and @fssaiindia

Dear @Tukaram_IndIAS Sir,
You made my day.
What a strong decision! Maharashtra has banned the manufacture and sale of non dairy or analogue paneer.
If found violating the rule:
- Up to 6 months in jail
- ₹1 lakh fine
I truly believe you should be the CEO of @fssaiindia. Not because you deserve FSSAI, but because FSSAI deserves you.

Lamine Yamal on happiness "I come from an apartment where the kitchen and the bedroom were the same space.

The Arabian Sea.
About 220 kilometers off the coast of Mumbai. 30 August 2010. 6:55 a.m.
A massive wave suddenly crashed over the Indian Navy submarine INS Shankush. In an instant, three sailors were thrown into the raging sea, drifting farther away with every passing second.
Standing watch was Lieutenant Commander Firdaus Mogal, the submarine’s Executive Officer. He didn’t wait. After reporting the incident over the radio, he simply said, “There’s no time. I’m going after them.” Then he plunged into the turbulent waters.
His first act was to rescue an injured sailor hanging alongside the submarine, hauling him to safety. Without hesitation, he then swam with two combat divers toward the three men being carried away by the waves.
One by one, he ensured that everyone else had a chance to survive.
Finally, the rescue rope reached them. Firdaus could have climbed aboard first. Instead, seeing that the two divers were exhausted and drifting away, he made an extraordinary decision. Using his own body as a bridge, he shouted through the crashing waves:
“Climb over me! Get to the submarine!”
The two divers obeyed, stepping over his shoulders to reach safety.
Everyone made it back.
Except him.
Just as Firdaus began pulling himself aboard, the violent swell rolled the 1,800-ton submarine into him, striking his head with devastating force. He was airlifted to a naval hospital, but the injury proved fatal.
That morning, Lieutenant Commander Firdaus Mogal saved the lives of six sailors.
He lost his own.
He was posthumously awarded the Shaurya Chakra, but perhaps his greatest legacy was not a medal.
As his wife, Kerzin, later said, “If someone else had died and Firdaus had survived, he would never have forgiven himself.”
Many people wear the rank of a leader.
Very few choose to be the last one to reach safety.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Let's salute our heroes

Kapil Dev had zero faith in his No. 11, so he did the unthinkable. 😳
Lord's. 1990. 9 wickets down. 24 runs needed to save the follow-on, most players would buckle under the "pressure". Knowing No. 11 Narendra Hirwani wouldn't survive long, Kapil Paji took matters into his own hands.
He smashed 4 consecutive sixes, saved the follow-on, and on the very next over Hirwani got out.
Kapil Dev later admitted he defended first two bowls so that england players come inside the circle so that he can play his shots🤯
Absolute elite match awareness. 🔥

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.
Historic! India's🇮🇳 First Ever 🥇.
Hav Lakshay & Hav Ujjwal Kumar Singh (Army Rowing Node) won India’s first-ever World Rowing Cup gold in LM2x at Lucerne — 6:26.09. Proud moment for the Indian Army and the nation!

Her name was Neha Shoree.
She was a drug inspector in Punjab.
In 2009, while posted in Ropar, she raided a chemist shop run by a man named Balwinder Singh.
During the inspection, she found dozens of types of tablets commonly misused by drug addicts. According to official records, he could not produce the required documents for them.
She cancelled his licence.
Then she moved on and continued doing her job.
By 2016, Neha Shoree had become the zonal licensing authority at a government drug laboratory in Kharar, near Mohali.
She was thirty six years old.
She had a young daughter at home. Her father was a retired Army captain who had fought in the 1971 war.
The man whose licence she had cancelled never forgot what had happened.
On the morning of March 29, 2019, Balwinder Singh walked into her office in Kharar carrying a licensed revolver.
He shot her inside her workplace.
Neha Shoree was rushed towards a hospital but died on the way.
The gunman then turned the weapon on himself and died soon afterwards.
According to the police, she had been due to testify against him in court.
Ten years had passed since the raid.
Ten years after she enforced the law, he came back for revenge.
Her father later said that his daughter had lived under pressure for years because of her work, but she never compromised and never backed down.
She was killed for doing exactly what the job had asked her to do.

THANK YOU DAVID FOR THE LESSON! 🥹❤️
Life is full of lessons. Last week, on a flight from Goa to Mumbai, I learned one.
In the picture is David.
When David boarded the flight, many people looked at him because he was overweight. He came and sat across the aisle from me. In the middle of the flight, he opened his bag, took out a huge collection of chocolates and sweets, and then walked towards the washroom.
I exchanged a glance with the gentleman sitting next to him and said, “He shouldn’t eat so much sweets and chocolates!” This was said out of concern! The gentleman smiled and replied, “Well, that’s probably why he looks the way he does.”
A little while later, David came back, gathered all the sweets, and handed them over to the cabin crew. 🥹
I was surprised.
So I told him, “I must confess, I thought you were going to eat all those chocolates yourself, and that’s why you were overweight.”
He smiled and said, “ I don’t blame you for thinking like that! I have a medical condition. But I used to work with airlines, and I know what cabin crew members go through every day. So I like to bring them something sweet whenever I travel.”
What an outstanding human being.
And what a lesson for me.
How quickly we judge people. How easily we create stories about them without knowing anything about their lives.😳
Thank you, David, for reminding me that kindness is often hidden behind appearances, and that the best people are sometimes the ones we understand the least.
I asked him for a pic! He obliged!
Thank you for the lesson my friend!❤️ #LifeLessons #Encounters
