“Why do IAS officers often marry other IAS officers?”
A friend once asked this after seeing the wedding of Ravi Kumar Sihag and Ishita Rathi.
I smiled and said, “It’s not a rule, it’s a pattern… and patterns usually have reasons.”
“Think about it,” I continued, “the UPSC journey is not normal. Years of isolation, pressure, failures, discipline… very few people truly understand that life.”
“When two IAS officers meet, they don’t have to explain their struggle… they already know it.”
“They’ve both sat in the same exam halls, felt the same anxiety, faced the same uncertainty… that creates a different kind of connection.”
He nodded, so I added, “Then comes the job itself.”
“Transfers, long hours, administrative pressure, political stress… it’s not easy for a partner from a completely different background to adjust.”
“But when both are IAS,” I said, “there is mutual understanding, respect, and professional alignment.”
“It’s easier to say, ‘You handle your district, I’ll handle mine… we both know what it takes.’”
“And yes,” I smiled, “there’s also proximity.”
“During training at LBSNAA, officers spend months together… friendships grow, understanding deepens, and sometimes… it turns into something more.”
He laughed and said, “So it’s not about status?”
I replied, “Not really… it’s more about compatibility.”
“Same mindset, same journey, same challenges… and sometimes, that’s exactly what people look for in a life partner.”

@SadhaMaanus @Dev_Fadnavis Now think about the benefits that businessmen is getting.

The Merc driven by Dr. @Dev_Fadnavis steals the show...
It's a AMG G63 variant of the Benz, priced at ₹4.5 cr. Registered at Pimpri-Chinchwad RTO and owned by Bhanderi Corporation Limited of Ahmedabad...
The luxurious SUV is not owned by Shri Devendra Fadnavis.

@wittysiddharth Going out in the Indian roads is the biggest adventure.
English

I have stopped doing adventure sports , or any activity related to nature like cruise etc in india since almost 10 years.
.
Theres no safety , no rules regulations and no professionalism and no proper overhauling of equipments.
Everywhere just cost saving.
.
The risk of a tragedy is much more and its not worth risking life.
.
Jabalpur incident is so tragic , cant express it in words.
.
May the soul of people who lost the lives RIP and may god give strength to their loved ones.

@MandarSawant184 No Indian roads or cars are designed for more than 50 kmph.

The seeds of Mumbai Pune expressway came out of a personal tragedy.
Balasaheb Thackeray's eldest son Bindumadhav passed away in a road accident on the old Mumbai Pune highway.
Balasaheb asked the then PWD minister Nitin Gadkari to build the expressway which Gadkari executed to perfection. Thousands of lives have been saved due to the expressway as well as major time saving.
Years later as traffic increased the Bor ghat section became a bottleneck. Devendra Fadnavis as CM with his then PWD minister Eknath Shinde then started work on the missing link and have now completed it.
The missing link will again save lives and also reduce commute time significantly.

@PrachiKadiyan__ Just quit your phd program and stay away from such institutions. It’s not about who is right or wrong , you need to understand by now there will be no justice.

Just because I was not entertaining and not saying yes to all the needs of Dr Lakhan Bainsla from IIT Ropar, he had anger and malice against me
He channelled all the rage on me by punching my eye and beating me
He wanted to go to Japan with me by masking that trip with research work
I clearly said no to him for going with him anywhere
No action has been taken against him so far by IIT Ropar
He had wrong intentions against me from long time
And he was threatening me that if I won't do anything with him he will throw me out of PhD ,I was pressurized
Dr Lakhan Bainsla from IIT Ropar has installed 2 cameras in his lab without taking any prior permissions from higher authorities
To create some false proofs against me
No other lab in IIT Ropar has any camera except his lab
He deliberately installed cameras there
And no one even questioned him about this
Also, he was the only single person who was operating those two cameras
Whenever he wanted to come into the lab he used to turn off the cameras most of the time
But whenever he wanted to create some false proofs he kept them on
And was operating them single-handedly
Me and my family had meeting with director sir of IIT Ropar
In which whole ICC members were there
In that meeting director sir said till tomorrow they will send the letter to Dr. Lakhan Bainsla
And director sir said they will change my guide too
But nothing happened so far
In fact when my family left the IIT
I was called by ICC in night to give statement to the police that day only and I was asked to say to police that
“That I am satisfied with ICC decision “
Also they were saying that they will look on each and everything over this matter
I don't know what they are looking at?
Related to guide no further proceedings I got so far
No one in IIT is taking care of my phone which has stolen (I had proofs in that phone against Dr. Lakhan Bainsla)
In fact I was stopped to even enter in his lab anymore so that I could even look at my phone by herself
They send security guard to take my things back from that lab
And why they not even questing Dr. Lakhan
Like he deleted his linkedin account?
Also ICC is calling me for the meetings
Me and family travelled back home and it was quite expensive
How can a middle class family afford travelling to IIT Ropar again and again in taxi?
It costed around 20k for us just to commute to IIT Ropar and back
Because me and my family travelled separately
And What kind of confidentiality ICC is asking me to maintain?
Do u guys actually believe this professor had dignity and self esteem?
In fact when I was coming back home
They wanted me to give statement to police before I leave for home
And they wasted almost 3 hours of me just to do formalities before I leave for home
Before that incident no one was even caring about where I am going where not
I called Punjab police immediately on the day of incident, they didn't even called Dr Lakhan Bainsla to ask him why he did so with me, arresting him was a long way off
My father is deeply traumatised and dead shocked from that day when he heard about this incident and he is asking me again and again not to go back to IIT Ropar ever
Also when my uncle came to IIT Ropar he got hospitalised due to hypertension
After hearing about all this
And my whole family is going through a lot
And ICC is still calling me for meetings while maintaining confidentiality?
Even after knowing that...what I am going through and my eye conditions are deteriorating
What if I loose my any of the family member due to this trauma?
Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar
For u it must me just failure of IIT system
But for us...a middle class family from village…it’s way more
Shame on IIT Ropar seriously

@RahulSeeker Not everyone wants to flee. For corrupt politicians and Babus India is heaven !
English

One Question:
If there is so much development, progress in the last 13 yrs, why does every person who has the resources wanna leave this country today?
Why is settling in foreign countries still the peak goal for from middle-class Indian households children today?
Why not the diasporas from all countries coming back here and settle in India instead of doing Modi Modi from there?
English

@adityajakki Yes South politicians had established 100s of engineering colleges before north caught up. The whole country is rotten to the core.
English

Only reason why Southern and Western regions of India are more prosperous than Central and Eastern parts of India because politicians from South and West realised much earlier that there is more money to be made in corruption by being pro business than being against business
Now gradually UP is also realising this
Soon Bihar and Bengal will also realise
English

Success in Punjab these days has just one definition: Go abroad… or you’re nothing.
It’s reduced to one line, “Their son is in America.” But the truth they don’t tell?
Recent deportation reports reveal a different reality, A section of Indians, especially from Punjab, are being sent back from the US, Canada, and Australia because they do not possess valid legal documents.
This #vlog is not just a story… it’s a reality check.

@kiranpuranik Can you DM me the doctor name and details please? I am looking for my mom’s knee.
English

Mom is doing her morning walk 2 months after total knee replacement surgery at the age of 74.
She could not walk properly inside the home earlier. Posture was so awkward while walking.
Everything from that is gone. Medical science is Magic we take for granted all the time.
Kudos to all the surgeons and therapists.
Cheers!!
@JupiterLifeline thank you

This traitor, Jayant Bhandari, the man who was born, raised, and got his engineering degree right here in India, the very soil he now spits on daily.
You ran off to the West, picked up a fake accent, and suddenly the entire country that fed you, educated you, and gave you your start is “immoral, uncultured, and lacking fairness”?
How shallow and full of deep-rooted hatred can one man be?
India isn’t a monolith you can trash in one sweeping rant. Every 100 km the language changes, the food changes, the customs change, yet we are bound by an unbreakable oneness you could never understand.
Go lecture your Western audience all you want. Real Indians see you for exactly what you are, a bitter, self-hating sellout.

@raoamitkumar_ @airindia This is very common with @airindia , I had booked mumbai-sfo direct flight for my parents and they re-routed with multiple stops at the last minute and offered to refund. If they can get away by killing 200 people, this is a small inconvenience for them.
English

How is this acceptable, @airindia ?
Two of us booked a direct flight from Delhi to Singapore scheduled for 3rd May at 00:40 AM. The tickets were booked nearly two months in advance.
Today, immediately after completing web check-in, we received a message stating that the flight has been rescheduled to 4th May and is no longer a direct flight.
When we contacted customer support, we were given only two options: either travel on 4th May (arriving at 18:30) or cancel and book afresh.
If we travel on 4th May, we will miss our important bookings. If we cancel and book afresh, we will have to pay nearly four times the original fare.
What makes this even more frustrating is that we can still see the same flight, along with other options around the same time, available on @makemytrip. However, we were told these cannot be offered to us because they fall under premium economy.
This leaves us in an extremely difficult position. We have a clear requirement to reach Singapore on 3rd May – how exactly are we supposed to manage under these circumstances?

@Ramanand06X Also as an Indian police man he must have made enough to retire his next 3 generations.
English

“A constable, after completing 20 years in the police force, decided to take voluntary retirement.”
“His decision surprised everyone…”
“After trying to convince him for a long time, the SP finally asked,”
“‘You’re getting everything in this job… so why do you still want to leave?’”
“The constable paused for a moment… then gave a simple yet deeply touching reply—”
“‘Sir…’”
“‘The way you made me stand at attention for two hours… even while chairs were empty right in front of you… just to explain things…’”
“‘That’s exactly why I want to leave this job.’”
“Sometimes… it’s not the workload…”
“it’s the way you’re treated that decides everything.”

@milinddeora @Waymo US consulate should do better job when issuing visa to corrupt dynast politicians entering my country. Keep yourself and your filth in India.

I tried my first driverless ride with @Waymo in Los Angeles, an incredibly unique experience. If this is what autonomous travel looks like, the future of mobility is mind-blowing.

@swapnakpanda Once in 2005 I had asked@NandanNilekani why Infosys is not building software products. His answer showed his shortsightedness .“We are happy with the 30% linear growth and when that slows down we will turn the resources to build products”
I sold my shares and quit Infy next year.
English

Nandan Nilekani: India doesn't need to lead in building AI models. But must lead in its usage.
The toddlers like Anthropic is now $1T company, OpenAI is $850B.
Thanks to leaders like him, entire Indian IT ecosystem is not even $1T.
Not a single company is even 10% worth of Anthropic still being for >50 years in business.
TCS - $94B (56 years old)
Infosys - $49B (43 years old)
HCL - $34B (50 years old)
Wipro - $21B
Tech Mahindra - $15B
L&T - $14B
They will always say we are mass recruiters.
But they won't say why engineers are paid peanuts.
They won't say why work-life balance is the worst.
They won't say why employees are so outdated.
They will just pick that thing which is easy, which is simple.

@rajeshsawhney Indian real estate runs on black money. If they crack down on that it can happen in India but what are the chances of that happening ?
English

Nithin Kamath became a billionaire without raising a single rupee.
And he never went to IIT.
Started trading stocks at 17 with his pocket money.
Lost most of it. Learned everything the hard way.
Spent years as a sub-broker while friends chased MNC jobs.
Saw how brokers were ripping off retail investors with high fees.
Got angry. Started building instead.
Founded Zerodha in 2010 with his brother Nikhil.
No funding. No investors. No fancy office.
Just a flat brokerage model nobody had tried before.
SEBI said it couldn't work. Big brokers laughed.
Zerodha kept growing anyway.
Today it's India's largest stockbroker.
5 million active traders. Zero outside funding.
Never went public. Never needed to.
The guy who lost his pocket money trading at 17.
Built a billion dollar company teaching others to trade better.
What's stopping you from starting today?
