Well said. Real elegance often looks understated. When tradition, family and personal warmth are at the center, you don’t need excessive spectacle to make a wedding feel grand. That’s the difference between heritage and display; one comes from culture, the other from performance. The personal touch of greeting elders, taking blessings and keeping customs central is what gives such occasions meaning.

A royal wedding of a Prince of Shahpura Thikana took place near Jaipur last week. The people in this video have about 150+ forts with them throughout the Rajasthan & outside. Several hotels & resorts in and outside India. Thousands of acres of land. Horses, antiques, you name it. Above all, a mark of ex-royalty on them. But, see the difference between the way they are celebrating their grand day and how pretentious commoners have made their weddings. The feeling of family is missing in weddings we go to. In this video, there are sitting ministers, Dy CM, several royal houses, businessmen, most of Rajput elites, and other important personalities. The groom met everyone personally, took blessings, paid respect. There is no showoff in things like varmala, function seems grand yet a private affair. This is not a lesson or lecture to anyone. This is just an observation that ultimately families must prevail. The bond of generations must prevail over all your eventwalllahs and 20 camera guys. Value your customs.

Exactly. If you disagree with a judicial order, the remedy is appeal through due process, not press conferences and selective boycotts. You can’t claim to defend constitutional values while undermining the very institutions meant to uphold them. No individual gets to choose a judge or treat courts as optional depending on convenience. Rule of law has to apply equally to everyone.

#WATCH | Delhi | On AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal’s letter to Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma and refusing to appear in person or through a lawyer for the hearing in the Delhi excise policy case, Advocate Monika Arora says, “When an order is passed against a person, he files an appeal and goes to the higher court… But Arvind Kejriwal is different, he does not file an appeal but appears for a Press Conference… He boycotts the court… He wants a judge of his choice, which is not how things work. As per India’s criminal justice system, you cannot have the judge of your choice… Mahatma Gandhi did Satyagraha against the Britishers, but Arvind Kejriwal wants to do Satyagraha against the Constitutional courts… This country won’t run as per the whims of Kejriwal ji but as per the constitution.”

@GuptaPragnya Come up with something real. AI generated images will not suffice.

IPL was always a mix of sport and business; that’s what made it sustainable and globally successful. Hardcore fans may prefer traditional formats, but millions still watch because it delivers high-quality cricket and entertainment. As for pitches, that’s a fair debate but it’s not unique to IPL. T20 cricket everywhere has moved toward higher scores. The game hasn’t changed; it’s just evolved into a different format.

IPL has become a full-blown business machine, it was never really about sport or pure cricket. Hardcore fans are losing interest, and the state of pitches in India is only making it worse. This isn’t the game people fell in love with anymore.

@volklub @evelectree @KiaInd @HyundaiIndia @Xroaders_001 @ferrarirules86 @Shaggy7979 @shreemallatheru Haha! Been following you for a while; most of your posts used to strongly advocate safety. Now that other brands are catching up, your stance seems to have shifted. Quite a turnaround.

Nope! It’s not about safety rating alone but marketing too. Tata & Mahindra are doing well because of the positioning, packaging & reach. They spend aggressively on marketing too. Global brands are better in multiple things and closing the gap but they still can’t overturn things. Indian brands will hold their fort.

With @KiaInd Seltos and @HyundaiIndia Venue receiving 5 ⭐ BNCAP rating for adult and children, will customer sentiment towards Sierra and Nexon change? @Xroaders_001 @ferrarirules86 @Shaggy7979 @shreemallatheru @volklub What do you guys think? 🤔 Will Tata sales take a hit in the future?

Sierra’s hype is more about novelty. It looks fantastic in photos, but in person it feels quite average. Put it next to the Seltos and the difference is clear; Kia wins on both exterior and interiors (interiors especially). Only downside is the front, but overall it’s a far better-looking car than the Sierra.

✅ Both Kia Seltos and Tata Sierra have been getting flank over the design on social media often it seems paid or something but some is real organic as well ✅ Often PR teams do indulge in this shadow stuff we see in specific accounts when it comes to politics one is smart enough to judge that ✅ Most influencers who have nothing to do with auto content start putting posts on “auto” this happens more when the car has been launched ,review up and a brand campaign is happening it’s easy to figure out and no brand is far away from it everyone we have seen doing it ✅ Bashing of other OEM is a bit far imo but yes one can do that marketing or random comments where product is being promoted fair but bashing is under belt Of course everyone will not like everything OEMs also have become touchy let the product and number speak for themselves !! A product may take time to take off case point swift it was a disaster when was launched but once it got the ddis it flew like a turbo push isn’t it. ✅ I personally love both seltos and Sierra designs ,seltos many will call its front a poor one yes it’s not as good as previous one but it is in line with global designs of kia and for Tata Sierra I loved the way it is but yes many thought it will be as robust as OG one Designs are subjective over accessorised versions of all cars look poor same has happened with Sierra ✅ Sierra nostalgia period is over when everyone wanted to see it want it when the reviews /media drives were happening in chandigarh,it was new one everyone wanted to have a look punjabis -chandigarh around north we are vocal thus they could ask the media ppl to peek-boo on it.

The initial crowd around the Sierra is more about the excitement of something new. In photos and ads, it looks exceptionally good; great angles and professional videography help a lot. But in real life, it doesn’t quite translate the same way. The design feels fairly average, both outside and inside. It’s simply not as striking as it appears in pictures.

Of late, I'm seeing a bunch of posts on social media dissing the Tata Sierra's looks. And all the posts look eerily similar. While I understand that design is very personal - what X may call a Swan, Y may call a Duck - this seems like an orchestrated campaign. When I drove the new Sierra at Chandigarh, the sheer number of people who wanted to come closer and take a look was unreal. This usually happens only with something really exotic - like say a Lamborghini. And I did drive the Seltos soon after. People did check the Seltos out too but the sheer adulation that the Sierra got was on another level. I'm just posting a reaction video we managed to shoot: instagram.com/reel/DR9Myj7Dx… And there were many more that we couldn't shoot. @TanmoyGhosh2002 witnessed it live. There were people in Fortuners and Audis gawking at the Sierra, and coming as close as they could to the car.

@TaklaPiro @throttleandtech 😄

@Wildborn69 @throttleandtech a diesel xuv 🤣🤣 or a virtus 1.5 gt if you're not worried about fuel costs

I can get an AX7 in that price! Sure you can, but why on earth would you want a mammoth, if you are nuclear family. Big cars are a nuisance to drive in congested cities with horrible traffic.

Yes, Shivalik and Nanda Devi loaded LPG at Ras Laffan in Qatar; that part is correct. But the claim that the cargo is headed to the US is based on old MarineTraffic data before the Hormuz transit. After diplomatic engagement and naval escort through the Strait of Hormuz, both ships were rerouted to Indian ports to address domestic LPG shortages. Shivalik is carrying about 54,000 tonnes and Nanda Devi about 46,000 tonnes, now sailing toward India. So the crossing does help India. It ensures LPG supply at a time when 60–90% of shipments through Hormuz have been disrupted by the conflict. You can criticize the government if you want, but saying the shipment does nothing for Indian consumers simply isn’t accurate.

@sabeer Not rushing to comment on every global conflict doesn’t mean a nation has “no opinion.” Sometimes restraint is a deliberate diplomatic choice. Strategic autonomy often means not becoming part of someone else’s narrative, not shouting the loudest in every crisis.

A nation with no opinion earns no respect and no allies. Sadly, India is becoming that nation.

That’s more nostalgia than logic. Every format has its place. The ODI World Cup tests endurance and balance, the World Test Championship tests consistency over years, and the T20 World Cup tests skill under extreme pressure and pace. Calling T20 “not real cricket” ignores the fact that it’s the format bringing new fans and global growth to the sport. Different formats, different challenges; not lesser ones.

UNPOPULAR BUT TRUTHFUL OPINION No World Cup is held every 2 years. T20 is a moneymaking racket. The T20 World Cup is entertainment dressed as a sport. It should be called T20 Champions Trophy. The ODI Champions Trophy should be scrapped. There are just two real World Cups: World Test Championships ODI World Cup @sanjaymanjrekar @bhogleharsha @cricketwallah @CricketopiaCom @sardesairajdeep @NikhilNaz @gauravkalra75

One of the greatest Test matches ever played. Laxman’s 281, Dravid’s 180, the follow-on fightback, and then Harbhajan finishing it off. To end Australia’s 16-Test winning streak like that at Eden Gardens; pure Test cricket magic. Some days remind you why Test cricket is still the game’s greatest format.

25 years ago today I witnessed the most amazing day of cricket I’ve seen Following on 274 runs behind, V V S Laxman & Rahul Dravid batted the entire fourth day at Kolkata They set up a remarkable 171-run win … ending AUS’s record run of 16 consecutive Test victories

@pamelagoswami9 Exactly. After losing election after election, calling the sitting Prime Minister “psychologically defeated” sounds less like analysis and more like political theatre.

95 straight election losses and has the audacity to call PM Modi "psychologically defeated". And the audience was clapping!! Dunno who's more Pappu, the Pappu himself or the audience 🫡🤣🤣

A few things are being mixed here. Yes, India did buy discounted Russian crude after 2022; that’s true. The discounts initially ranged around $13–20 per barrel, helping India save billions on its import bill during a global energy shock. But the rest of the argument oversimplifies the situation. First, India does have strategic reserves, though smaller than countries like Japan. India’s SPR capacity is about 39 million barrels (9–10 days of national demand) plus commercial stocks that take the total buffer to roughly 70+ days of coverage. Expansion of reserves was already approved under Phase-II projects, though progress has been gradual. Second, private refiners processing and exporting fuel isn’t unusual. Reliance and other refiners buy crude, refine it and export products as part of normal global refining economics. State refiners also imported Russian oil during this period. Third, the discounted imports did help stabilize India’s fuel costs during a volatile global market. But domestic prices are influenced heavily by tax structures and pricing policy, which is why consumers didn’t see the full benefit of the discount. So yes; India bought discounted oil and refiners made profits. But claims that there was “no buffer” or “no planning at all” ignore the broader energy security policies already in place.

India bought discounted Russian oil. That was the perfect chance to build huge strategic reserves, just like Japan did with 300+ million barrels. But what happened here? The cheap oil went to private refiners like Reliance. They refined it, sold it back to Indians at high prices, and exported it to Europe for huge profits. No national buffer. No long-term planning. And ordinary Indians will pay the price for this government’s incompetence. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister remains busy with photo-ops, while the country pays the bill.

Exactly. There’s a difference between criticising the government’s policies and actively celebrating attempts to embarrass the country on a global stage. Opposition politics should be about holding the government accountable, not about taking pride in India looking weak in front of the world. Disagreement is healthy in a democracy, but weaponising national embarrassment for political mileage crosses a line.

Call it what it is: evil, calculated, and deeply treacherous. When an opposition leader celebrates the attempt of global humiliation of his own country, he isn’t fit to lead. Rahul Gandhi isn’t criticising policy here. He’s boasting that his own party cadres succeeded in disrupting an international summit and denting India’s image in front of the world. That’s Machiavellian sabotage. A normal opposition fights the government on issues. This is something darker: weaponise embarrassment as strategy. If India is hosting global leaders, tech CEOs and investors, and you can’t control the narrative with competence, then you manufacture chaos so the headline becomes “mess” instead of “moment.” That isn’t politics. That is anti-national theatre.

Every era values different formats differently. The 1983 and 2011 World Cups were iconic for what they meant to Indian cricket at the time, but that doesn’t make T20 World Cups less legitimate. Winning a global tournament; no matter the format still requires beating the best teams under pressure in knockouts. The format may change, but the challenge of winning a World Cup remains real.

In time we need to put these world titles given out every year in proper perspective. India’s T20 WC wins don’t come remotely close to their 50 overs WC wins of 1983 under Kapil Dev & 2011 under Dhoni in terms of its pure challenge & it’s sanctity.

Petrol prices don’t depend on one person. They’re largely driven by global crude oil prices, exchange rates, taxes and government policy. The same global factors existed during Manmohan Singh’s tenure as well. If crude prices rise because of geopolitical tensions, fuel prices go up in most countries not just India.

Petrol prices will be hiked soon. There is no Manmohan Singh to save us from global crashes now.

Exactly. The “conditions” argument falls apart when the same team wins across different tournaments, venues and formats. Conditions change, pitches change, opponents change but consistent results usually point to one thing: a very strong team.

Heartiest congratulations to Team India which scaled several peaks of history by winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup emphatically. India has the proud distinction of being the only country to win the cup three times. It is also the only team to win the cup twice in a row. This brings immense joy and pride to our cricket loving people. It is also a marker of the rich talent pool we have among our youth in diverse fields. Every single player, entire management and the support staff deserve the highest praise for this collective triumph. I wish our cricket team sustained glory in the future.
