@DPrasanthNair @tajmgroad That’s the @TajHotels way:)

There are some people who inspire you. Krishna is a housekeeping staff of @tajmgroad Bengaluru. At any time, on any day, you will see him with a broad and genuine smile. What a positive and easy way to live life. Positive and cheerful faces are a inspiration to many. @TajHotels - wonderful job of nurturing such people.

Mumbai lost a man of many parts – an industrialist, a theatre person, an actor, a mountaineer, a traveller and a history enthusiast – yesterday with the passing away of Vijay Crishna. A part of Mumbai’s English theatre scene since 1971, Vijay acted in over a hundred theatre productions and a few films as well. Fascinated by the Chinese explorer, Zheng He, Vijay was responsible for introducing him to Mumbai in a lecture at @CSMVSmumbai in 2018. Married into the Godrej family, he served as a director on board of group companies, and also managed Lawkim, a motor manufacturing company within the Godrej group. #RIP #OmShanti #VijayCrishna #Actor #Industrialist #Traveller #Godrej #Lawkim

@tim_cook The best way to predict the future is to invent it - Steve Jobs

x.com/ANI/status/202… At 8 years old, the journey of young Ranvir Sachdeva’s makes you hopeful about where the world is headed - At age 4, his summer project on the Mars Mission was showcased on NASA’s website. - At age 5, he became the world’s youngest Apple Swift programmer and was invited by Apple CEO Tim Cook to the Worldwide Developers Conference at Apple Headquarters in California. - At age 5, he was declared the youngest Green Yodha by Schneider Electric CMO Chris Leong after sharing his insights on sustainability and Net Zero at a global exposition. - At age 6, he became the world’s youngest TEDx speaker on technology and innovation (Artificial Intelligence), with his name registered in the Asia Book of Records. Watching his journey at such a young age is genuinely inspiring. Keep exploring, keep questioning and keep building. The world needs curious minds who aren’t afraid to think big. Stay grounded, stay hungry and above all, enjoy the process. The future isn’t something that this generation and this young prodigy will enter…they are already shaping it!

#WATCH | Delhi: At #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026, Ranvir Sachdeva, Child Prodigy, Technologist, Global Author says, "I'm here as the youngest keynote speaker at the India AI Impact Summit. I'm talking about how I'm linking ancient Indian philosophies to modern-day technologies. I'm also covering the different approaches which the rest of the nations are building AI with. I'm talking about how India is building AI with. I'm sharing my own use case of an Indian AI model just released and how I'm contributing to India's GDP and driving AI literacy with it."

@hvgoenka You said it. Our chaps have bodies and minds like blobs.

Seeing President Macron running on the streets of Mumbai, two things stand out: 1. No visible convoy, minimal security, just blending into the city and doing his thing. 2. The fitness level. Leadership needs stamina as public life is demanding. And think of our politicians 🙈!

Jensen Huang on the smartest person he's ever met;

Simply outstanding! The Naval Band’s performances included ‘Namaste’, ‘Sagar Pawan’, ‘Matribhumi’, ‘Tejasvi’ and ‘Jai Bharati.’ The Matsya Yantra formation was flawless.

When 740 children died at sea and every country said "no," one man—who had reason to remain silent—said "yes." The year was 1942. The ship drifted in the Arabian Sea, like a floating coffin. There were 740 Polish children on board. Orphans. Survivors of Soviet labor camps, where their parents had died of the flu or starvation. They had escaped through Iran, but a more terrible punishment awaited them. No one would accept them. The British Empire—the most powerful power of its time—refused entry to port after port along the Indian coast. "It's not our responsibility. Sail away." Almost finished with food. No medicine. Time was running out. Twelve-year-old Maria held her six-year-old brother's hand. She had promised her dying mother to protect him. But how do you protect someone when the whole world turns on them? And then news came to the small palace in Gujarat. The ruler was Jam Sahib Digvijay Singhji, Maharaja of Navanagar. In the royal system, he was just a minor prince. The British controlled the ports, trade, and army. He had every reason to obey and remain silent. When his advisors told him that 740 children were stranded at sea after the British refused to take them to any port in India, he asked one question: "How many children are there?" "Seven hundred and forty, Your Majesty." He paused and calmly said: "The British may control my ports. But they do not control my conscience. These children are docked at Navanagarh." The advisors warned him: "If you challenge the British—" "So I will stop. " He sent a message to the ship: You are welcome here. When British officials protested, the Emperor remained firm. "If the strong refuse to save the children," he said. I, the weak, will do what you cannot. In August 1942, the ship struggled to enter Navanagara harbor under the blazing summer sun. The children walked like ghosts—exhausted, blank-eyed, many too weak to walk. They had learned to hope for good. Hope had turned dangerous. The Maharaja was waiting for them on the dock. Dressed simply in white, he knelt down to be at their eye level. Through interpreters, he spoke words they had not heard since their parents died. "You are no longer orphans. You are my children now. I am your Bapu—your father." Maria felt her brother's handshake. After months of rejection, these words seemed surreal. But he was serious. He didn't build a refugee camp. He built a home. In Balachadi, he created something amazing—a little Poland in India. Polish teachers who understand trauma. Polish food flavored with memory. Polish songs in an Indian garden. A Christmas tree under a tropical sky. “Suffering tries to erase you,” he said. “But your language, culture, and traditions are sacred. Let's keep them here.” " Children who were told they had no place in the world finally found a home. They laughed again. They played again. They returned to school. Maria watched her brother chase a peacock in the palace garden, and her body remembered again what safety meant. The Emperor used to visit them often. He remembered names. He celebrated birthdays. He watched high school plays. He comforted children crying for parents who would never return. He paid for doctors, teachers, clothing, and food—from his own wealth. For four years, while the world was torn by war, 740 children lived not as refugees, but as a family. When the war ended and it was time to leave, many wept. Balachadi became the only home they had ever truly known. These children have grown and moved around the world—becoming doctors, teachers, engineers, parents, grandparents. And they have never forgotten. Warsaw's Good Emperor Square appeared in Poland. Schools bear his name. He was awarded Poland's highest honor. But the original monument wasn't made of stone. It cost 740 lives. Today, at 80 years old, they still gather. They tell their grandchildren about an Indian king who refused to turn compassion into political calculation.

@hvgoenka And she knows it verbatim! Not easy when you’ve sang thousands of songs.

40 years ago today, I started a company with ₹30 lakh capital, in a 300 sq ft office in Fort, Mumbai. Today that company, which I ran for 38 years, is Kotak Mahindra Bank. As this Indian institution navigates changing times, may it prosper. Happy Birthday…tum jiyo hazaaro saal.
