"We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented": Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech 1986

@prasanto Crazy indeed. Order online. Blinkit allowing 18 cans max delivery per order.

Diet Coke parties! Nuts But our office ran out of Diet Coke for a few weeks

@baxiabhishek @Namecheap a whois issue, how come? BtW have had great experience with @dd24 for my domains

@Namecheap Two of my domains have been suspended due to a whois issue, and my email hasn't been responded to all day. I've lost access to my business email, and it's quite harrowing. [NC-QTU-9582]

Her name was Ruchika Girhotra. She was 14 years old. A tennis player from Panchkula, Haryana. On August 12 1990, she went to meet S.P.S. Rathore at his office. He was the Inspector General of Police and head of the Haryana Lawn Tennis Association. He had promised her father he would arrange special coaching for her. When her friend stepped out of the room, he molested her. Her family filed a complaint three days later. Rathore had her expelled from school. Her father was suspended from his bank job on false charges. Six cases were filed against her brother Ashu. The family's house was forcibly sold. They fled to the outskirts of Shimla and took up earth filling work to survive. On December 28 1993, days after Ashu was paraded in handcuffs through their neighbourhood, Ruchika consumed poison. She died the next day. She was 17. Rathore threw a party that night. He then refused to release her body to her father unless he signed blank papers. Those papers were later used to forge documents accepting a false autopsy report. Despite a police inquiry recommending an FIR against him, Rathore kept getting promoted. He became the Director General of Police of Haryana in 1999. The case went through 40 adjournments and more than 400 hearings over 19 years. In December 2009 a court convicted him of molestation. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and fined Rs 1,000. The sentence was later enhanced to 18 months. The Supreme Court upheld his conviction in 2016 but reduced it to the time already served. He walked free. The judge who tried to add abetment to suicide charges against him was forced into premature retirement. The judge who dismissed those charges was a neighbour of Ruchika's family involved in a property dispute with them. S.P.S. Rathore was later invited as a VIP guest to a Republic Day event in Panchkula. Ruchika Girhotra was 14 when he molested. She was 17 when she died. Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war. The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started. Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous. If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

@samarknowsit @advsanjoy did you held your potus accountable?

@advsanjoy Did you and bengal held your mamta accountable? Stop and work with the bew govt. to build the new bengal.

The morning after “my” Mamata lost. 😜😂

@advsanjoy @chatukhor IS not a saint. Past tense unwarranted pls :-)

@theliverdoc @DrJoyeeta May set good precedents for heirs of politicians, bureaucrats, to stand trial for their progenitors' deeds

@prasanto @DrJoyeeta Feels like Hereditary movie on "sins of the past life" kind of fiction.

@ShereenBhan @PradeepGuptaAMI With brilliant tactical support from ECI and Gyanesh ji in those seats. Bhawanipur was the pinnacle of this maniacal focus.

An interesting insight from @PradeepGuptaAMI on what makes the BJP the ultimate election machine. They learn doggedly from loss. Maniacal focus on converting the 75 seats they lost in #WestBengal last time with a margin of 10% or less is the difference between victory and defeat #Election2026 @CNBCTV18News @CNBCTV18Live

This is sheer strategy, planning, execution. Gyanesh ji your party thanks and applauds you. @ECISVEEP x.com/i/status/20513…

Congrats for West Bengal @ECISVEEP this is your hard work and your victory, not just your Party's. You promised to show TMC, and you did! Onward to One Nation One Party!

Gas prices are at crazy levels--fire Obama!

Did you know Korea sells “one-a-day” banana packs? Instead of every banana ripening at once, each one is at a different stage. One is ready today. The next one is ready tomorrow. The last one is still spiritually in college, “experimenting.” Simple. Genius. Solves the entire banana problem. What do you think? Would you prefer your bananas this way?

@dtptraffic @999_pro11625 @sanket Oh come on Delhi Traffic Police. Do your real job

@999_pro11625 @sanket Thank you, kindly mention exact place.

To my mind, this Bengal election is a litmus test of whether we have fallen below the minimum threshold of electoral integrity, whether electoral democracy has any future at all. I cannot get into numbers, but all the credible information that I have been able to gather so far points to a comfortable lead for the TMC, more than enough to make up for the SIR damage. If despite this the ECI manages to conjure a victory for BJP, this has to be the result of an electoral fraud. Such an (unlikely, despite what exit polls say) event must get the entire opposition to come together and ask if there is any point of contesting any more elections under these circumstances. — Yogendra Yadav

@LarissaFernand @abidsensibull impressed by the sheer humility - never expected it

@abidsensibull A rich man following traffic rules is a “spectacular sight” - does not speak well of us☹️

A spectacular sight on Mumbai roads ia Mukeshbhai’s convoy. There was his bullet and bomb proof Benz. Countless cars in front and behind. The security guys were driving G wagons and Range Rovers worth crores. They were driving peacefully, orderly - no wrong side driving, no over speeding, no unnecessary honking or getting on footpaths. All this civil behaviour, despite some people joking he owns the country. So yeah, if you are one of those people with Thar or Creta or Fortuner or whatever chillar money SUV you have - please stop acting like you own the road 😏
