Explains a whole lot!! 😉 This man says that reading books is a waste of time I can tell you what is the real waste of time... Listening to this complete balderdash on television or social media. As far as saying that reading books is not 'enough' there is something that is called a necessary but not sufficient condition. But if you stopped your education ages ago, this would be long forgotten On that note, just recorded a podcast with @nikunjdalmia on books. The major issue for me was keeping the recommended list below 20 books. For a few hundred rupees, you can learn what someone has learnt over lifetime - make no mistake, there is no better value proposition available in the world. And of course here is the Charlie munger on reading: “In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn’t read all the time – none, zero.” "Develop into a lifelong self-learner through voracious reading; cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser every day.” Happy reading! @PenguinIndia @crossword_book @safiranand

Go to hell, Donald Trump

VIDEO | As Raghav Chadha and six other AAP MPs join the Bharatiya Janata Party, Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring says, “I want to say that the Aam Aadmi Party should remain cautious. It should not happen that one day even 50 of your MLAs switch sides. These MPs have moved after reaching Parliament, this was always a possibility when the party makes decisions in this manner, without clear criteria. When they were nominated to the Rajya Sabha, such an outcome was always likely. When there is no strong ideology, and people are chosen based on wealth, business background, or influence, and then support is sought from them in various ways, such situations are bound to arise. I am concerned that, in a similar manner, MLAs may also leave. Some may act out of fear, others due to dissatisfaction with the party. The fact is, many of them were never connected to any ideology in the first place.” #RaghavChadha #AAP

@PTI_News Et tu @harbhajan_singh ?!

VIDEO | Delhi: At a press conference, Sanjay Singh, MP of the Aam Aadmi Party, says, “Today, seven AAP Rajya Sabha MPs have joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. The people of Punjab should remember these seven names. They will never forgive those who have betrayed them. The party made Raghav Chadha an MLA and an MP, what did the people of Punjab not give him? How much love did they show by sending him to the Rajya Sabha? And now, he has gone into the lap of the BJP. The party gave Sandeep Pathak the opportunity to reach the Rajya Sabha with the love and blessings of the people of Punjab and entrusted him with major responsibilities. Rajendra Gupta, look at his journey and how far the party took him to the Rajya Sabha. Vikram Sahney, Ashok Mittal, and Swati Maliwal were all elevated by the AAP and the people of Punjab from the grassroots to the Rajya Sabha. Even Harbhajan Singh was given the opportunity to reach the Parliament with the love and blessings of the people of Punjab. But these seven individuals have stabbed the people of Punjab in the back. They have betrayed them and have worked to obstruct a government in Punjab that was serving the people.” (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

73 Opposition MPs in the Rajya Sabha have just submitted to its Secretary General a fresh Notice of Motion for presenting an Address to the President of India praying for the removal of Shri Gyanesh Kumar, Chief Election Commissioner of India, on the ground of proven misbehaviour constituted by acts and omissions committed on and after 15 March 2026, within the meaning of Article 324 (5) of the Constitution of India read with Article 124(4) thereof, Section 11(2) of the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment, Conditions of Service and Term of Office) Act, 2023 and the Judges (Inquiry) Act, 1968. There are now nine specific charges against the CEC that have been documented in great detail and that simply cannot be denied or whitewashed away. His continuation is an assault on the Constitution. It is an absolute disgrace that the man continues to be in office to do the bidding of the PM and HM.

Would you rather listen to a complete lie or something that is 70% true? You would think that an outright lie would be more of a problem... But you would be wrong. You are less likely to believe something that is an obvious lie but something which has more than a grain of truth in it - just enough to make it plausible - is what actually entraps you. The influencer blatantly pushing a crypto platform maybe discounted but someone who has educated you on PPF is believed when they are pushing a particular fund manager for, say, global investing, without disclosing their own hidden agenda. Also, something may be technically true but still leave out the whole context. For instance all those examples of 'buy and forget' or 'put in a can and forget' show correct calculations but are still completely misleading. My column in Mint will make you think not only of all the instances where others have led you up the garden path but even when you have misled yourself. Want sensible advice?

Hang your head in shame @narendramodi @DrSJaishankar

@seemay @NirjhariSinha Cowards

WHOSE social media post?

A pic from Election Rally in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.

@sardesairajdeep enough of socialites, fakes and politicians… why can’t you speak with some genuine people, who walk the talk and do actual work. @suchetadalal for example? Unfair to club farmers and CAA protesters with the fake demonstration. You know that.

Retweet if you believe Netanyahu is a war criminal.

तुम मुझे खून दो मैं तुम्हे आजादी दूंगा - स्वामी विवेकानंद बेटी बचाओ बेटी पढ़ाओ - आसाराम तुम मुझे नाला दो मै तुम्हे गैस दूंगा - नरेंद्र मोदी 😄

@IPL Wankhede erupts in joy to see Hardik hit blindly and walk away with one run off two balls. @mipaltan bad decision to replace @ImRo45 with @hardikpandya7. All your supporters have been echoing that every single match.

🚨 BIG STATEMENT 🚨 A former US Ambassador just said out loud at Harvard what every Indian should hear: “America has literally spit in India’s face under Trump.” 30 years of bipartisan US diplomacy - wasted. Modi got none of it. He traded away ₹500 billion in US purchases, surrendered Russian oil, slashed Indian tariff autonomy; just to get tariffs CUT from 50% to 18%. 50% tariffs that NEVER EXISTED before Trump imposed them. He was blackmailed. And he called it a deal. Trump chose Pakistan over India. Trump took credit for ceasefire. Trump threatened 200% tariffs. And Modi? Silent on every single one. This isn’t foreign policy. This is submission. The man who sold “56-inch chest” surrendered India’s strategic autonomy to avoid a phone call going unanswered. 🇮🇳 💔

A writ petition has been filed in the #SupremeCourt seeking directions to the Election Commission of India to take action against the televised address by Prime Minister #NarendraModi on April 18, 2026, a day after the Constitutional (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026 was defeated in the Lok Sabha.

Instead of apologising to that woman and the common people of Mumbai, BJP leader Girish Mahajan is blaming her. “Road block to hoga, takleef to hogi.” What a shameless party the BJP is — blaming citizens for showing their genuine anger after being inconvenienced by their drama protest.

Today I am posting four videos of a brave, courageous, common Indian woman who has gone viral across India. Why? Because she did what most of us feel… but rarely say. A political rally blocked the roads for hours. Commuters were stuck. Chaos everywhere. And this woman? She just wanted to pick up her child from school. But when patience ran out, she stepped forward. She questioned the system. She questioned politicians. She questioned the police. And she asked the most powerful question: “Who are you to block these roads? Just get out and clear them.” No slogans. No politics. Just a citizen demanding accountability. We need this courage.We need more voices like hers.Because democracy doesn’t just survive on votes , it survives on citizens who dare to ask questions. @girishdmahajan @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice @Dev_Fadnavis @CMOMaharashtra @BJP4Maharashtra

Who did this ? ?
