How about spending this Diwali lighting up other people’s lives?
There’s a special joy in giving. Do share a little of your happiness with someone who could use some cheer and bring a smile to their face. Let’s bring a little more warmth to the festival and create some magic in the air. #Diwali ✨ 🪔 ✨

The modern temple run:
Politicians. Billionaires. Film stars. VIP entry, no queues, a two-minute darshan and a perfectly timed photograph of folded hands.
We once visited temples to lose our ego. Today, we take our PR teams along to preserve it. Faith has found a new God: visibility. 🙏

Boarding on AI 882 AMD-DEL is delayed by 20 minutes because Supreme Court Judge Vipul Pancholi & wife had to be VIP boarded first. They walk in with a posse of 6 guards + 3 AI staffers. Is this the VIP culture that India’s judiciary advocates? @MLJ_GoI ?

इलाहाबाद विश्वविद्यालय में पढ़ाई के वक्त कई बार छुट्टी के दिन सिविल लाइंस के AH Wheelers की दुकान पर जाता था..एक किताब लेने के बहाने खड़े खड़े घंटों कई किताबें सरसरी तौर पर पढ़ते थे..पिछले दिनों कनॉट प्लेस के Jain book agency को देखा..दुकान के अंदर गया यहां चौथी पीढ़ी वैश्विक जैन मिले..किताबों को लेकर देर तक उनके साथ चर्चा हुई..उन्होंने बताया कि उनके बाबा शांति जैन जी किताबें पढ़ते थे फिर नोट्स बनाते थे..जब कोई किताब ख़रीदने आता तब वो घंटों घंटों भर चर्चा करते थे..किसी को दुकान पर किताब पढ़ने से नहीं मना करते थे..उनका मानना था कि किताब की दुकान एक मंदिर के समान होती है…जहां हर कोई आ सकता है..

For all those asking ‘What’s the problem with Navi Mumbai Airport?’
Dude, T1/T2 are 15 minutes away from my home. Now I have to travel almost 2 hours just to reach the airport.
Not just that, if I take a cab, I’m paying almost half the cost of my flight just to get there.
And there’s barely any convenient public transport in place, which honestly should have been the first thing to be sorted out before shutting down operations at T1.
Moreover, T1 was arguably the most convenient airport for domestic travel. Check ins and security were quick and hassle free and getting out after landing didn’t take forever.
Right now, the only people celebrating this move seem to be the PAID agents.
The rest of us are just calculating how much time and money it’ll cost now to catch a flight 😭

Gandhi’s great challenge to independent India was never “follow me.” It was: think for yourself.
In today's modern age of political polarisation, instant opinions and viral outrage, what does Gandhi mean to India? Perhaps, more than ever, it means this: never surrender your political conscience to any party, ideology, crowd, influencer or algorithm.
Happy Gandhi Jayanti!

Once, we knew who made our food. Then brands arrived and asked us to trust them. Now, trust wants evidence.
The front of the pack may seduce. But the back must testify.
In the new food economy, transparency is not packaging. It is the product.
My piece in Mint today.
Congratulations! 👏
All the best friend

Kerala is once again setting a new standard for the rest of the country!
GIGON Hubs, a first-of-its-kind initiative where the Labour Department directly deploys staff to provide dignified rest facilities for gig workers, are now a reality.
A progressive model that other states can learn from. Congratulations to Minister Smt. Bindu Krishna and the Labour Department for making this possible!

The Gurugram story would have never been highlighted had there been no footage.
This will pop up in my mind whenever I will consume Mithaai or Panneer :/
