Delhi returns to a familiar pandemic-era model. Under new measures, government employees will work from home two days a week, while 50% of official meetings move online to reduce travel and fuel consumption. A reminder that global conflicts now shape everyday governance and economic decisions. #Delhi #WorkFromHome #IndiaEconomy

Wars no longer stay at borders. They now enter homes through fuel prices, inflation, and economic uncertainty. The real question is: are we prepared for the consequences? #Iran #IndiaEconomy #Geopolitics

Grateful to the readers, jury, and everyone who engaged with the book. #LiesSpiesAndNuclearRise #FIHCR #HistoricalFiction

If NEET-UG 2026 is cancelled, it raises serious questions about accountability and trust in the system. When systems fail, it is students who pay the price. 22 lakh aspirants prepare for years with discipline and hope. Who answers for repeated lapses? And why does the NTA continue to face questions over its functioning? #NEETUG #NTA #EducationSystem

Tagore saw India not merely as a nation-state, but as a civilisation shaped by thought, culture, and humanity. His ideas remain deeply relevant even today. #RabindranathTagore #TagoreJayanti

“I won’t resign. We haven’t lost.” A strong message of defiance. But the larger question is—does this mark resistance, or the start of a political reset? #WestBengal #ElectionResults

The elections are over but the war in the gulf isn't. Check out my new article on the gulf war, Pakistan and Asim Munir in First Post @firstpost @LipikaB firstpost.com/opinion/trumps…

West Bengal chooses change. A decisive mandate. A new direction. This is more than a victory— it is a political shift. #WBResults #IndiaPolitics #election

BJP+ extends its lead in West Bengal. TMC holds ground. Majority still not secured. The next phase of counting will be crucial. #WBResults #IndiaPolitics

As results unfold tomorrow,
don’t just track who is leading—
ask what it means. Counting will begin at 8 AM tomorrow. 
Read beyond the numbers. #ElectionResult #election #India

Why has the pollster Pradeep Gupta rattled so many folks? Politicians one can understand. But why news channel anchors? Last night the man was put in the firing line by a channel where it was amusing to watch news anchors trying to teach Pradeep his job. Why the anxiety bhai? Pradeep has gone wrong before. He could be right or wrong on May 4th. Chill everyone. He's not the only pollster in the business. @LipikaB

Pollster Pradeep Gupta 's refusal to release his Bengal exit poll citing the average voter's reluctance to speak out indicates the fear factor haunting the average Bengali. Question we have to ask is fear from what?  The question is best answered by those who have suffered in the last elections. Many were assaulted and killed, their houses burnt down their women molested. That trauma has still not been overcome or addressed.  Even in upper class localities in Kolkata society gates were locked to prevent people from going out to vote. No wonder people maintain a studied silence when pollsters pester them for their voting preferences. Which means the real question we have to ask in these Bengal elections is that are regional aspirations largely built on the bedrock of fear and intimidation? @LipikaB @sonubhasinFAB

Bengal. Identity. The “Bohiragoto” debate. A conversation at College Street Kolkata worth engaging with: youtube.com/live/nA9yEGpVZ…

Power is not just about strength. It’s about perception. Has Iran challenged America’s image of invincibility? My latest piece: firstpost.com/opinion/has-ir… #IranWar‌ #Usa #Geopolitics #WorldOrder

One can have differences with Prannoy Roy over his left centred telecasting over the years. But I am filled with admiration that at 74, shorn of his beloved channel NDTV he can still pick up a mike and use his cell phone to record interviews for the west Bengal elections for his podcast Dekoder. A never say die spirit is always inspiring.

It should be clear to everyone that both Iran and the US are buying time in the Islamabad talks till the next round. The only country out of time is Pakistan. if the talks fail its survival even as a struggling economy will be on the line

It is no secret that Bollywood and Modi have never gelled together. For historical and so called secular reasons. Until now. The Kapoor khandan photo op with the Prime Minister was a significant photo op. For what reason? Find out in THE CAA SHOW youtube.com/watch?v=cGlrqj…

The Hindu community is in a state of siege in Bangladesh. And the world community is in denial of it. It has words of comfort for Palestine, Gaza and Ukraine but none for the Hindus of Bangladesh. All that and more in this episode of THE CAA SHOW youtube.com/watch?v=ifEl3s…
