CA Ishwaran मोदीजी मेरे गर्व

Ahmedabad is a hopelessly boring Tier 2 city. Please don’t move here. Living here is an absolute nightmare: • Zero Adrenaline: Women are just casually roaming around at 2 AM eating ice cream without fearing for their lives or dodging intense police naka bandis. Where is the survival thrill? • No Linguistic Pride: If you don't speak Gujarati, nobody even threatens to beat you up or smash your shop's signboards. They just awkwardly reply in broken Hindi. Absolutely no passion! • No Traffic Trauma: The roads are so wide and well planned that you actually reach your destination in 20 minutes. How am I supposed to finish my audiobooks or rethink my life choices during a 3 hour bumper to bumper commute? • Missing Action: Someone bumps into your vehicle, and they just say sorry and pay you instead of pulling out a hockey stick. No street fights, no "Tu jaanta nahi mera baap kaun hai." So dull. • Zero Aesthetic Culture: No underground drug or Udta Punjab vibes. Just boring, safe, sober families existing everywhere. Honestly, it’s unbearable. Please stay in your happening metro cities, enjoy spending half your life in traffic and keep breathing that sweet AQI 1000 air.

Someone on X/Twitter asked me what one gets if one accepts Hindu Dharma. In his X bio he mentioned that he preferred a bag of rice and not a bag of cow urine. So, he is probably Christian. I replied that fundamental questions about the purpose and goal of life are convincingly answered and several paths (Bhakti, Jnana, Karma…) are shown so that we can know our divine nature (Atma is Brahman). Hindu Dharma makes a distinction between THAT what is eternally, absolutely (means not dependent on anything) true and that what is not eternal and depends on THAT what is eternal. (Brahman versus Maya or Prakriti). An analogy is given: in a pottery shop, diverse cups, jugs, plates, and bowls are displayed in the shelves. We look at the shapes, colors, and decorations, completely overlooking the clay or mud, which is absolutely essential and more “true” than the form or the name. For, when the cup breaks, the cup is gone, but the mud is still there. The cup depends fully on mud, yet while the cup exists, we overlook the mud. The mud is ‘hidden’ in the cup, even though – if we would reflect deeper – the essence of the cup is obviously mud. Similarly, our essence is pure, blissful consciousness (Brahman or Atman),but as long as our body exists, we overlook this essence, though it is obvious. Consciousness is the most important ‘quality’ of us. However, when one accepts Hinduism, one will NOT get a bag of rice as bribe to twist your conscience and make you repeat that only Christianity and Jesus can save you…

Dedicated a new consular wing at our Embassy in New Delhi that will provide the necessary infrastructure for more rigorous vetting, processing, and screening to protect U.S. borders. Every visa decision is a national security decision, and I’m proud to empower the Americans who work here as they serve on the frontlines of advancing our interests and President Trump’s America First foreign policy.
