Starlink will come to India.
India will vacillate, it will nag, will go no and umm, throw all kinds of tantrum…but ultimately concede.
Not saying if good or bad, just saying it will come. Am no Nostradamus here. There’s just abundant precedent in the last 2 years alone.

If a highway is built at some time, surely there must be smaller roads built much before.

In my opinion, the Mahabharata is simply the greatest story ever told.
PM Modi has broken the taboo of gifting the Mahabharata, as it is believed to be a tale of feud, divisions, betrayals - hence not to be kept at home. But this is a misinterpretation. The text has life lessons on victory in battle, & dharma

Having known the author for more than 30 years, I can vouch for the quality and readability of this book , even before I have a chance to see the book myself! Do buy the book and gift to your younger friends. 😍
Vidya, .@sabdavidya - is my friend from the days when I got online for the first time! That way, she is my oldest online-friend.
While we have never met in person these 30+ years, I am simply in awe of how she approaches any research pursuit she takes in - be it music, vyakarana or Vedanta. 🙏🏻

If you are book lover, no doubt you may know or may even have visited Bookworm in Bangalore. It is a lovely book shop. It has been badly affected by floods. Please go, if you are in Bangalore, and buy books from them. Online you will find their WhatsApp number too, buy and help.

5000 books, worth over Rs 14 lakh, were destroyed after rain water gushed into The Bookworm (a book shop) on Church Street in central part of the city.

Out next month, The Bone Door by Frances White (@Frances_Writes) is one of my favourite books of the year. It is, quite simply, a glorious thing and you should buy a copy. espressococo.com/2026/04/17/… @MichaelJBooks

There used to be a format that solved this problem called mass market paperback but now everyone wants their romantasy in 15 lb faux leather hardback with rainbow holographic gilt edges
