Before entering the exam hall, students were frisked thoroughly.
Little did they know, the question papers had already travelled freely and reached those who could afford them. Will heads roll? #NEETUG

Tamil Nadu has: > 88% Hindu population > 3.90 lakh temples > and deeply religious people. But they chose a Christian CM. This is what secularism looks like. You choose a leader, not his religion. The last time something like this happened was when Congress gave us a Sikh PM.

When children fail at a game, they pause, reset, and begin again. Old men, playing with the world’s resources and power, keep dragging all of us toward ruin. Sometimes one wishes the toys were taken away and the world allowed to begin afresh.

@BibhuRath 😎 I have retired from protecting ad inventories. Now I only observe the irony.

@Ratikant70 Lalchand and Khimji will cease to be your key clients now.. Be ready..

The advice to spend cautiously and make every financial decision with care appears in the inside page.

@hvgoenka @BBSRBuzz Absolutely. Thanks for sharing

Indian cuisine conversations often revolve around Punjabi, South Indian or Bengali food. Odiya cuisine deserves a much bigger place on that table. What struck me most was its restraint. No overload of cream, butter or chillies. Just balance, mustard, fermentation, texture and freshness. Dahi Bara Aloo Dum (popular street food), Drumstick-Brinjal Besara, Chhena Tarkari, Chakuli Pitha (like dosa) Aloo Patra Besara… all made at home.

@Armlocked Hehe. Thanks 🤩

@Ratikant70 Have you discovered or we send it from here, Sir? 🧘‍♂️🎉

Half my feed sells Ratnagiri mangoes. The other half calls them fake. So what exactly am I supposed to do?

@tuntun_baby_1 Confusion. Not a strategy.

Quit engagement farming!

No minimum qualification is required to become a legislator. And political parties seem determined to not exceed it. That tells you everything.

Of all the places I have known, Bhubaneswar is my dearest. It is not loud. It does not question or impose. It simply lets you be yourself. On this Foundation Day, celebrating a city that speaks softly, yet lives deeply in the heart. Happy Foundation Day, Bhubaneswar.

Wounded. Yet evolved.

Looking at the kind of money our govt spends on promoting freebies, I wonder what optimises public resources better. Passing benefits to the needy, or spending more on promoting “the act of giving”?

The euphoric rallies across the streets of Bhubaneswar yesterday almost made me believe our youth were celebrating India’s enviable success and progress across multiple fronts. I pinched myself and realised it was the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami.

One sip. One bite. All problems postponed.

@rameshsrivats Ha ha…Old tweets mocking a falling rupee are resurfacing. Time has flipped the script. The irony is striking…those who once spoke the loudest now remain silent, unable to defend yesterday or question today.

INR at Rs. 94 to a dollar. Very exciting. Will it be a Sehwag and get to a century in one ball, or carefully do it in singles with no hurry?

Shake it off. Rise again. #EkamraKanan

@sitansutripathy @Ratikant70 @SJTA_Puri @CMO_Odisha In almost every visiting hour, the situation is the same

A stampede-like situation inside the Jagannath Temple is deeply worrying. Having experienced this myself in the recent past, I feel crowd management inside the temple needs urgent attention. @SJTA_Puri @CMO_Odisha
