During the current LPG shortage ,I have realized that most people bullshit on Twitter, without any basic knowledge on the subject they are commenting on

@Roopa13B #Dhurandar succeeded despite the violence

We’re now going to see a wave of wannabe Dhurandar films by inept filmmakers who think #Dhurandar succeeded due to violence. They've completely missed the point. Very basic of them to reduce such a finely crafted, layered, intelligent, and tightly written script to mere violence.

@tarauk Let's seem him criticise a Muslim or Christian festival. Let him tell that he eats only vegetarian on bakrid or refuse to eat cake on christmas.

Such a rare politician! India needs many more like him.

@vimallakhotia @avarakai Ool is not problem..it's lpg at short notice

@avarakai A layman question... Why isn't India Buying Oil from Russia Directly ? This will not even have to cross Hormuz.. Where is the bottleneck?

So, India did open up its strategic reserves. What was 25days, is now 9.5days. 25days into the war. Reason why PM warned yesterday. That’s why we didn’t get ourselves involved in IEA. That’s why we sent warships to get our oil tankers. Someone tried something nasty at Hormuz. Oh, the Ukrainian angle.

@aratnam An elder told me this phenomenon is what puranas say "Devatas showering flowers from the sky."

@aratnam I have seen this happen in Srirangam and Srimushnam. I always wonder how eagles correctly arive just after the maha samproksham time. Additionally in Srimusham there was a faint drizzle but the sky was crystal clear.

The family gathered- aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and grandchildren- to witness the auspicious MAHA SAMPROKSHANAM of the RAJA GOPURAM. 4 eagles circled high above as a remarkable positive symbol. March 25, 2026. A momentous event after 115 years. #Tirukurungudi

@tmkrishna Looks a bit fake.He was a star then itself

Siva was our hero in those days. One can only imagine how these repeated experiences would have affected him. Though the word was never used in the piece, the caste-skin colour association is deep seated in India and a lot of colour based discrimination comes from the abuser 'assuming' the caste position of the dark skinned person. Such a sad read.

@AsYouNotWish Pakistan is like a napkin,use abd throw. They are baluchistan only in some sort crisis around their country

There is a certain pattern to how Pakistan reads the region. It is quick, tactical, often clever in the moment, but curiously shallow in memory. I was reminded of this in an X space some months after Sheikh Hasina’s ouster. A Pakistani participant was confidently sketching a future where Bangladesh would become to India what Afghanistan is to Pakistan. The argument sounded neat. Radical groups, porous borders, rising rhetoric. It had all the ingredients of a tidy conclusion. Except, it ignored history. Bangladesh is not Afghanistan. India did not enter Dhaka as an occupying force. It entered in 1971 in the middle of the Bangladesh Liberation War, in response to a crisis created by the Pakistan Army. That distinction is foundational to how nations remember. Yes, tensions can be manufactured. We saw the ‘India Out’ playbook travel from Maldives to Bangladesh, conveniently surfacing around Hasina’s removal. It was curated, externally encouraged, and amplified. But there is a limit to how far such narratives travel when they collide with lived memory. The same misreading played out in Afghanistan. When the Taliban returned to power, there was visible excitement in Pakistan. Talk of strategic depth, even loose chatter about redirecting jihad towards Kashmir. It sounded decisive, almost triumphant. And then reality intervened. India’s footprint in Afghanistan was built through roads, dams, hospitals. Pakistan’s imprint is tied to decades of instability and ethnoracism against Afghans. This is where the distinction matters. Hatred manufactured through campaigns behaves differently from resentment born of historical injury. One fades, or at least fluctuates. The other lingers, quietly, across generations. Which brings us to Tarique Rahman. Seen by many as leading a more Pakistan-friendly formation, he still marks 1971 by explicitly condemning Pakistani actions. That should not surprise anyone paying attention. In Bangladesh, 1971 is not negotiable. Governments may shift emphasis, but they cannot erase the core. Pakistan’s tactical instinct is quick to spot opportunity, but it often overestimates how far narratives can travel against the weight of history. In South Asia, that is usually where the calculation begins to unravel.

@athreya49 Climate is the key.Better to develop Hosur or krisnagiri as a mega city.Or maybe coimbatore

No one wants to work in Madurai and Tirunelveli. You can’t have IT hubs without welcoming outsiders. Chennai itself is facing that problem. TN median voter is living in a fantasy land.

@greatbong @TVMohandasPai The world wants peace. it doesn't matter who acheives it

For those saying Modi has escalated the image of Pakistan, because Iran wants Pakistan as an interlocutor, let me tell you of something from history. In 1979, the Grand Mosque of Mecca was seized by Wahabi renegade hardliners, an act that almost brought down the Saudi monarchy. The Saudis called French commandos, who symbolically converted to Islam before storming the mosque. The other country the Saudis asked to provide military firepower? Pakistan. Yes Muslim countries will call Muslim countries. Modi or no Modi. Pakistan is also on Trump’s pay-to-play Board of Peace. So yes, inevitable.

@sushantsareen Both sides need a middleman and Pak fits the bill.Nothing for india to be ashamed about

The last time Pakistan's played mediator was between Taliban and US. How did that turn out for them? Both turned against them. Looking forward to Pakistan mediating once again.

@Wegiveyouhealt1 @Nalanda_index Grok says that necessary equipment had failed. This hospital was in a rural area

@Nalanda_index From where she got the degrees? Absolutely rubbish.

Dr. Sulekha Chaudhary, Pediatrician at CHC Agra, saved a newborn’s life today. 👏🏼❤️ The baby was born without any movement. Oxygen support was given first, but when that didn’t help, Dr. Chaudhary performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for nearly 7 minutes and the baby started breathing! A true hero in action. 🫶

@Chellaney Both USA and Iran need a face saver to back down. pakistan fits the bill more than any other country What matters is peace is achieved.Lets give Asif munir a Nobel prize if he does it.

Trump’s Call to Modi Was Damage Control Strip away the diplomatic niceties and the picture is clear: Donald Trump’s call to Narendra Modi was not routine consultation, but pure damage control. By routing through Pakistan his 15-point “peace” plan to end the war that he started against Iran, Trump has made that country’s army chief an indispensable intermediary. Field Marshal Asim Munir’s emergence as Washington’s channel to Tehran not only underscores Pakistan’s geopolitical relevance to Washington, but also fits with Trump’s earlier description of Munir as his “favorite field marshal.” For New Delhi, the optics are galling. India bears the brunt of the economic fallout from a war launched by its two principal strategic partners, the U.S. and Israel. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively disrupted and Indian shipments exposed to risk, New Delhi is both stakeholder and victim. Yet, in a stark inversion of roles, it is not India but Pakistan (which has long used its nuclear-weapons shield to export terrorism) that is Washington’s diplomatic conduit. This explains Trump’s phone call. The language of keeping India “in the loop” is just reassurance — a way to soften the blow, not change the reality. Because the reality is this: When it mattered, Trump chose Pakistan as the conduit, and is now trying to make sure Modi doesn’t take it personally. This is just the latest occasion when Trump has sought to undermine his “very good friend” Modi.

@Gypsy_1809 Decades back i had witnessed vijay shooting at a bus stop.That time he was very dark and not looking good Now he is fair and looks good.

தகர டப்பா மூஞ்சி விஜய் ! 🤣🤣🤣

@nainaverse Check the religion of the fans

Ranveer or Ranbir won’t be able to pull even 1/4th of this crowd ever. You know it. I know it. We know it.

@vijaydanit @sanjukta @shanteehee Correct .Imagine if the flight take off at 12 noon or similar inconvenient time, will they go give prayers a go.I feel there should be no prayer rooms at all

@sanjukta @shanteehee There’s no need for prayer hall for any faiths in public places like airports, mall, bus terminals, etc… Can’t they finish all their prayers at home and then leave? And we call ourselves secular country!!!!

I don't really like Madhavi Latha. She's a boorish troublemaker.Her intentions were obviously to draw attention to herself at the airport prayer room.But I think what she did proves useful in bringing up the question "Why is it assumed the prayer room is for only one religion?"

While the sight of foreigners on the ghats of Banaras is generally a common occurrence, the purpose of this 70-year-old woman, who travelled nearly 8,000 kilometres from Spain to reach Kashi, was anything but ordinary. In an accident in Barcelona, ​​Spain, Maria Teresa's 36-year-old son sustained critical injuries. Despite receiving treatment at multiple hospitals, he could not be saved. Sensing his final moments approaching, he expressed his first and final wish to his mother: that his last rites be performed according to Hindu rituals and that his ashes be immersed in the River Ganges in Kashi. Despite the limitations imposed by her advanced age and the daunting uncertainty of how to fulfil her son's dying wish, Maria's unwavering determination refused to yield. She gathered information with the help of a few NRI friends and set out to fulfil her son's final desire. She arrived in Banaras via Mumbai. There, clad in traditional Indian attire and carrying her son's ashes, she proceeded to Manikarnika Ghat. Amidst the chanting of various Vedic mantras, the mother immersed the ashes in the Ganges. She held absolute faith and conviction that by immersing the ashes in Kashi, her son would undoubtedly attain Moksha. Remembering her child, she spoke with deep emotion: Lord Shiva will surely grant my son salvation.

@karthik2k2 Gives hindus ecosystem a chance to bring them back.Also somewhere they will leave a trial,either baptism records etc. Then they can be thrown of the reservation jobs

Given that the government has no way to ascertain or track conversions, this ruling won’t have much impact at ground level

@nitin_bharat_Ag @vishnu_suresh_2 @naresh4india @PrasunNagar When you go to a small town when you are not sure of food, I generally advice to drink bottle water and branded biscuits.

@hvbhat @vishnu_suresh_2 @naresh4india @PrasunNagar recently visited Palani temple. It was odd time, the only shop open and serving was muslim. He had a hindu name of shop, but no photos, blank forehead. While serving water jug, his fingers were dipping in drinking water, as if he don't care.

During his travels in the early 5th century to India, Chinese pilgrim Fa-Hien mentions 'Rest-Houses' built every few kms. Hers is what he has to say: "Rooms with bed and mattresses , food and clothes are provided for resident and travelling monks without fail; and this is the same in all places." " They ( people) further seek salvation by building alongside out-of-the-way roads, Homes of Charity, where food, drinks and clothes are offered to travellers." The accommodation was free of cost, including food because these were public endowments.
