Baby was sleeping soundly, then had a nightmare. Dad appeared instantly to comfort her, and her little face when she saw him was absolutely priceless 🥺❤️

Olympian Vinesh Phogat has publicly identified herself as one of the six female wrestlers who were sexually harassed by former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh She says she broke her anonymity because the current WFI is trying to block her comeback ahead of the 2026 Asian Games. The criminal case against Brij Bhushan is still pending in court

What an amazing day #ResultsWithNDTV. Fabulous coverage, on-ground foot print and agility. Both television and digital. Great graphics, no errors so far @ShivAroor @rahulkanwal @ndtv thank you from a viewer! Wish Dr Tharoor could hear the question ~ glasses would have been fun!

@MasalaBai Ditto my feelings! We were supposed to complete homework, also read through text books for rhe next semester, specially because Delhi afternoons smoked everything outside and we weren’t allowed outdoors! But, grandparents and our Gen Alpha - a match!

My dad is on phone, telling my son, "and when you come here during vacations you will study only if you want to, you don't have to if you don't want to." My nearly-teen is nodding "ok dadu". Sorry WHAT? Where was this benevolence when I was growing up 😡😡

A black tiger has been spotted again in Similipal National Park. A phenomenon found only in Odisha, nowhere else in the world. These melanistic tigers are not just rare, they are a symbol of Odisha’s unique biodiversity.

Courage doesn’t come with age, it comes with heart.

The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) produces milk so rich and thick it resembles flowing cream… perfectly adapted so her calf can feed underwater without it dispersing. A quiet, powerful reminder that every detail in nature is crafted with astonishing precision. Nature is magical 💙

White towels are a legacy of British era, when there were few roads, fewer cars and no ACs. Officer toured on horses and towels were an integral part of hygiene routine. British left, horses were sent away, but towels stayed! It’s not just towels, the size of tables and colour of ink are also defined by hierarchy. When I was working at Joint Secretary level with the Vice President of India, I had to fight a stiff battle of sorts to order a smaller table that would fit better in my office. The system would not approve of a smaller table! Regarding the colour of ink to be used for noting and signature, Sh. Arun Shourie has written a hilarious, if not ridiculous, memoir as minister. In 1999, two officers in the Ministry of Steel made notings on files using red and green ink. This raised a furore as they were junior officers. The seniors were scandalised and an enquiry was initiated. India’s bureaucracy spent 13 months debating which colour ink officers could use on files. The enquiry was routed through several ministries and departments: Ministry of Steel wrote to Dept of Administrative Reforms It referred to Directorate of Printing (ink experts) Printing referred to Dept of Personnel & Training (DoPT) DoPT threw the ball back: “it’s your Manual, you decide” National Archives was consulted for longevity of ink colours Ministry of Defence consulted for Army ink hierarchy Conclusion after 13 months: juniors wrote in blue-black or blue ink, because that has the longest life of impression. In British era, the files had to travel to Britain, so juniors would write in ink that would stay for the longest. The top brass would sign in green and red. Ruling: Two new paras were added to the manual of office procedure: Para 32(9) says that only officers of Joint Secretary level and above may use red or green ink, and that too only in rare cases. Para 68(5), on the other hand, does not limit the use of these colours to any particular rank (as modern ball pen ink have no issues of shelf life for any colour!) The white towel on the officer’s chair. The red telephone on the desk. The peon standing at the door. The green ink reserved for the senior sahib. These are not accidents of history. They are architecture, the physical grammar of a bureaucratic culture that worships hierarchy.

In all seriousness, she is a perfect contender for getting the Dronacharya award. Without even playing chess, she has given India two champs, just like that.

THIS IS HISTORICAL STUFF FOLKS! 🇮🇳🥹 Vaishali Rameshbabu just won the FIDE Women's Candidates 2026 & Qualifies as Challenger for Women's World Championships Title! 2nd Indian Women after Humpy Koneru (2011) to Play the Women's World C'ship match!

No more ‘Tinku’, ‘Chhotu’, ‘Bablu’ or ‘Shaitaan’…. Rajasthan government launches scheme - Sarthak Naam Abhiyaan- to CORRECT ‘ inappropriate’ names. Only the Indian bureaucracy could draw up such a govt scheme of 3000 acceptable names. Acceptable names include ‘Akbar’, ‘Birbal’, ‘Vrindavan’. Amazing report in @htTweets today. By the way, Major Shaitan Singh, Paramveer Chakra winner and hero of Rezang La would have had to change his name if this scheme had been in existence then…..

Massive respect… RIP Gladys…

Silence in the Arena. History on the Track 🇮🇳🥇 At the 2026 Asian Indoor Athletics Championship. Greatness doesn’t always arrive with fireworks !! 🔥🔥

Eight decades, 12,000+ songs in 20+ languages across different genres a true singing legend. A versatile queen. Rest in peace, Asha Bhosle ma’am. May your soul rest in peace

First Lata Mangeshkar. Now Asha Bhosle. Different styles, both touched by greatness. So many great songs, for me Umrao Jaan was the cherry on the top. The last survivor of the great era of Rafi, Kishore, Mukesh, Manna Dey, Talat, Geeta Dutt, Lata and Asha is gone and while we use the expression loosely, it is really the end of an era.

Shame on you. Satyajit Ray portrayed the blatant British exploitation of India and Indian wealth during the colonial rule which led towards the destruction of Indian financial strength. Or are you trying to white wash British colonial crimes instead?
