Remembering my father for his indelible contribution during #Emergency in upholding the constitutional values and fundamental rights of the citizens during the darkest phase in the history of independent India #Emergency1975

Delayed, but delivered. Narendra Modi Stadium and Sanju Samson complete their redemption arcs tonight!🏆 #T20WorldCup2026final #IndiaVsNewZealand

In the 90s, India vs Pakistan was about what could unfold after the first ball. Real uncertainty. Real contest. Over the last decade or so, the drama peaks before the match. Once play starts, India’s all-round cricketing dominance turns it into a one-sided contest. The rivalry still exists. The balance doesn’t. The record in all World Cups now stands at 16-1 ! #INDvsPAK #T20WorldCup2026

4-2 Benfica vs Real Madrid. Goalkeeper up in the final seconds. Header. Goal. Champions League still breathing. This is Jose Mourinho. Chaos, belief, theatre. Nights that only he seems to script. #ChampionsLeague2026 #Mourinho #BenficaRealMadrid

Happy Republic Day, India. To a stronger, resilient republic.

India’s political parties and the Indian government execute world-class digital campaigns, yet the Indian state continues to undersell the valour and professionalism of its armed forces through clumsy, technically weak communication. From Doklam to Op Sindoor, tactical success has too often been followed by narrative drift. In contemporary conflict, whoever tells the story most effectively shapes outcomes. Why does India still lack a dedicated Information Warfare Unit, led by military specialists and the country’s finest creative and technological minds, not ad hoc vendors, to organise India’s digital might and project our narrative globally, when millions of Indians are more than willing to devote their time on social platforms to amplifying India’s truth? @adgpi youtu.be/1dOwhUEekv4?si…

Magical “Hazard”

Hey! My wife already knows that! @Vaazzda

As narrative warfare intensifies, the real question is: Will India shift from defense to offense in the global information space? The world is watching, and it’s time for India to craft and project its own narrative rooted in strength, democracy and values. firstpost.com/opinion/asia-o…

The Siraj- Ronaldo crossover we didn’t know we needed! BELIEVE on his lockscreen, @Cristiano in the background and today, @mdsirajofficial bowled India to a famous Test win at The Oval. Pace, passion, and pure inspiration. #ENGvIND #Siraj #CR7 #Believe @cricbuzz

0 for 2 at the start of the innings, yet KL Rahul’s composure, Shubman Gill’s class, and the grit of Jadeja and Washington Sundar ensured India didn’t give Ben Stokes and England the satisfaction of a handshake with an hour still left on Day 5. Their batting resilience in the Manchester Test spoke volumes about India’s mental strength and skill. All eyes now on the Oval in London in 3 days! #englandvsindia #IndiaTeam #ManchasterTest

Pure passion. Pure leadership. Captain, Legend, Warrior. #CFC #ThiagoSilva #ChelseaLegend

From Karnataka to Kashmir, Google searches for Zohran Mamdani are off the charts. But when it comes to our own cities? In Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai: no mayors, thanks to endless political delays and power games. In Delhi: mayors come and go like seasons April 2025 saw the latest change! In Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad: municipal election turnout trails state elections by as much as 30% We cheer distant democratic victories while neglecting the elections and institutions that shape our own neighbourhoods. If we truly want better cities, it starts by showing up to vote. Stop outsourcing your hope for better cities to New York!

Bluesky’s ambitious vision: a new internet where you own your followers, posts & algorithm across apps: no lock-in, no single authority. “No king makes the rules,” However, Koo and Mastodon failed to gain traction in India, can a platform like @bluesky offering decentralized social models truly scale and deliver a genuine alternative for the users.

“If I speak, I’m in big trouble… but if I tell the truth, football will end.”- José Mourinho In Spain, he said Barcelona were protected by the system. Years later, it’s proven: Barcelona paid €7.3 million to Enriquez Negreira, the vice-president of Spain’s referee committee for “technical reports” over 17 years. In Turkey, he said it again. After calling out bias in the league, leaked WhatsApp messages from Turkish FA officials revealed they were plotting to “make him pay.” The entire disciplinary committee resigned! He wasn’t paranoid. He was early. #Mourinho

Look what it means to him. * Written off as ‘too old’ at 40 to still play elite level football. * Scored in the semi-final, scored in the Final. * Key factor in Portugal winning the trophy. 🏆 Another incredible chapter in the iconic career of ⁦@Cristiano⁩ - the 🐐 👏

Talent met obsession. Obsession met destiny. And destiny…still answering to Cristiano 🐐 Portugal are the 2025 Nations League champions!#NationsLeague #CR7𓃵 #Portugal
