This caterpillar metamorphosed into a butterfly, like all caterpillars do. After a few flights of fancy, it realised that it was better off as a caterpillar. If only I could build a cocoon to transform back into one, it thought. Alas, it was caged with wings all its life.

@RShivshankar Fond memories of the club. We celebrated many family functions here thanks to our neighbour aunty, a 92 yr old 62' war widow who has been a member since 50+yrs probably. She has 4 other siblings aged 85-98 yrs who still get together over lunch once a month at Gymkhana Club.

DELHI GYMKHANA CLUB. THE LAST VESTIGE OF COLONIAL INDIA AND THE REDOUBT OF BABALOG (LUTYENS) PRIVILEGE, NEPOTISM IS NOW GOING TO BE CLAIMED BY THE CENTRE. Centre Moves to Take Back Delhi Gymkhana Club Land, Cites Defence and Public Security Needs In a significant move, the Central Government has ordered the re-entry and resumption of the Delhi Gymkhana Club premises located at 2, Safdarjung Road, New Delhi, stating that the land is required for urgent public and strategic purposes. The order was issued on May 22, 2026, by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs through the Land & Development Office (L&DO). The government stated that the property, spread across 27.3 acres, lies in a highly sensitive and strategic area of the national capital and is now needed for strengthening defence infrastructure, public security arrangements, governance infrastructure, and other public-interest projects. According to the communication, the premises had originally been leased to the Imperial Delhi Gymkhana Club Ltd., now known as Delhi Gymkhana Club Ltd., for the purpose of maintaining a social and sporting club. The Delhi Gymkhana Club is considered one of the oldest and most prestigious clubs in India. The club shifted to its present location in 1913 and was then known as the “Imperial Delhi Gymkhana Club”, with Spencer Harcourt Butler serving as its first President. After India attained Independence in 1947, the word “Imperial” was dropped and the institution came to be known simply as the Delhi Gymkhana Club. The club traces its origins to July 1913. In its early years, the Polo Club functioned as part of the Gymkhana Club before becoming a separate entity in the 1930s after shifting to New Delhi. Historical records relating to the club’s origins are limited, and systematic documentation of its history is understood to have begun only around 1927. Referring to Clause 4 of the lease deed, the Centre noted that the lessor has the authority to re-enter the premises if the land is required for a public purpose. Exercising those powers, the President of India, acting through the L&DO, has determined the lease and ordered immediate re-entry of the property. The order further states that the entire land parcel, along with all buildings, structures, lawns and fittings standing on it, shall vest absolutely with the President of India through the Land & Development Office. The Land & Development Office is scheduled to take over the premises on June 5, 2026. The Delhi Gymkhana Club has been directed to hand over peaceful possession of the property on the said date, failing which possession would be taken in accordance with law. The communication was signed by Deputy Land & Development Officer Suchit Goyal and issued with the approval of the competent authority.

Manifesting Bob Dylan India tour 🙏

From the latest tranche of UFO videos released by US, it's quite clear that aliens exist. It's sort of reassuring that they know us, visit us but don't harm us. Or do they? Also what are other countries hiding?

@incubus_312 @IndiaCircus @GodrejEntGroup They're just living up to their name.

now they tell me the area is unserviceable. it's in the heart of gurgaon. but why tell this to me 3 weeks after I place the order. that too only after I asked. it was supposed to be a gift and it turned into an embarrassing experience. pathetic @IndiaCircus @GodrejEntGroup

Mint's survey on parenting styles in India has a share of 53% GenZ respondents 😭 They say they asked these non-parents hypothetically. Such is the state of research in India. Tbh even the millennial non-parents will not be able to answer parenting questions hypothetically.

@Stuffedparatha MH also is just because of Mumbai and Mumbai gets most inbound business tourists, not the leisure ones.

@PotentialMystic I feel Rajasthan is a big attractor, and the popularity of Delhi and Kolkata (by association of names) is a big factor. The southern metros are not really popular names in the rest of the world. Mumbai is huge, and MH is no. 1 in the list.

What has stopped the southern states from attracting foreign tourists when they are considered to be safer than the northern Indian states?

The excitement shown by Indian men about the alleged killing of alleged mastermind of Pulwama is giving such small dick energy. Totally tone deaf. While most think it is part 3 of the famous movie loading, some have the audacity to think this'll do justice to victim's families.

@Arsenal He uses a wired earphone 😁

@Stuffedparatha But these problems are there in North too, still there are more tourists visiting north than south.

@PotentialMystic Outside safety the general mentality is still bad. Clutter, rubbish, disregard for rules, no attention to detail, haggling and bargaining, fleecing, no fixed price, lack of professionalism, touts, unregulated vendors, beggars. Too many problems. I hear Kerala is doing okay.

They should make exclusive corridors between Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Goa for foreign tourists such that they have minimal interaction with the locals and guaranteed safety. The tourism will boom in this sector and it will be a good start.

@pratap_nagar @choga_don Rich culture of keeping women behind ghunghat 😜

@choga_don It’s not Rajputi Poshak it’s Rajasthani Poshak its doesn’t represent any Caste it represents the rich culture of Rajasthan

She is Ruchi Gujjar. She wore Rajputi Poshak at Cannes, the most beautiful thing a woman can wear. She got 5 times more Cannes paparazzi attention compared to Alia. But still, no feminist is praising her because she is not wearing a revealing, tight outfit and showing cleavage. In fact, feminist are abusing her for being 'traditional' 🤡

I know some yogis and yoginis are very attached to their mats. I don't like using mats at all. I bought one just for the class. At home i don't even open it.

@beastoftraal Could have taken Rakesh Roshan too in the ad.

This is perhaps THE BEST use of a celebrity in an ad I have seen in recent times. The line that leads to the contextual use of the celebrity is perfect too! And very, very funny in a self-aware way that the celebrity lands brilliantly! 😁 Superb writing by the agency Collective Creative Labs.

@suzannebernert @Alpakanya It looks cheap nylon silk tbh. The real silk navari paithanis don't have such cheap shine.

@Alpakanya 🙏🏻 just posted as an example for a Navari Saree that shines

Marathi actress Prajakta Mali graced the Cannes red carpet in a traditional Maharashtrian Nauvari saree. So lovely to see nine yards of elegance go global 😍

@mr_tripathiii @REDBOXINDIA Grok is translating chutiya as cunt 😭

Patriotic weddings is something I see getting imported from Iran to India very soon. We could have 8 pheras / ashtapadis now, the 8th vow a promise to the nation.

@_aperfectmess_ Oooh I had forgotten this recipe of putting dry besan once semi cooked. My grandma used to make it this way. Thank you for reminding! Will make this tomorrow.

Such an underrated vegetable. But I loce it. Can you guess?

Bhai lag raha hai ek aur Italian bahu aane wali hai. #Melodi

@twinitisha Do try Slow churn by kwality walls. The jamun and mulberry flavour is really good.

After tasting naturals I don’t like any other ice cream. It all tastes artificial and weird.
