Sometime ago, I had a talk with a banking guy and media personality who was part of the GLISCO network in London. But he got fed up with having to support Islamists and Communists (though he's still 100% Globalist attending WEF and hating Trump / Modi/ Milei / Maloni, while supporting China, as that's how he mints his millions). This guy told me something simple and interesting. He was asked to post on social media but limit replies by his "social media advisor" (later I found out this advisor was a Pakistani Brit). The reason he gave was - "if you limit replies, your message will reach millions yet there will be no direct replies to counter your post or dilute its content for your audience." That's when it hit me: 1) They use replies and comments to dilute and attack any truth we post. 2) They make sure we can't reply and counter when they are creating a narrative. Now go and find who's posting without allowing replies and comments on social media. You will know they are working with an agenda pushing their narrative. Mostly for the GLISCO-DS.

The women of India and Pakistan need to deploy our ingrained common sense and suggest ways forward in our relationship. We need a women’s caucus. Not to throw accusations against each other but to think calmly and sensibly about the future ahead. For the sake of our children. We need to bring in the counterpoint: without naming it, without sounding defensive, but making it impossible to dismiss. For decades, India–Pakistan engagement has been trapped in a single script: territory, terror, recrimination. We repeat it with ritual precision, but it yields diminishing returns. What if we widened the frame? In West Asia, especially the Gulf, our interests often run in parallel: energy security, diaspora welfare, maritime stability, crisis response. These are not abstractions since they affect millions of lives and the resilience of both economies. Engaging here need not dilute our positions, create false parity, or reopen familiar disputes. It can remain tightly bounded, issue-specific, and without prejudice to core differences. Skeptics will argue that Pakistan cannot compartmentalise, that any engagement risks being instrumentalised, and that peripheral cooperation has never altered core hostility. But the purpose here is not transformation, it is insulation. Not to resolve the conflict by other means, but to prevent it from defining all means. Some may also say Pakistan has found a “role” in the Iran crisis and India should not be seen as seeking one. But this is not about visibility or mediation. Our interests are structural not transitory. If anything, the moment underscores a larger truth: even adversarial states operate beyond their disputes when interests demand it. When the central track is blocked, responsible statecraft does not stand still. It explores parallel ones, carefully, deliberately, and on its own terms. Sometimes, widening the field is not weakness. It is strategy. The women must speak.

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

Air India flight to Canada flew in the air for 4 hours. Suddenly realized this is the wrong aircraft and it's not approved to enter Canada. Flies back for another 4 hours to land back in Delhi. Now, imagine being a passenger on this flight.

Companies go through phases of exploration and phases of refocus; both are critical. But when new bets start to work, like we're seeing now with Codex, it's very important to double down on them and avoid distractions. Really glad we're seizing this moment.
