कानपुर रोड पर चलने वाली UPSRTC की बस UP-32-AN-7823 का ड्राइवर रमेश पाल पिछले 19 साल से एक ही काम करता है — सुबह गियर डालना, शाम ब्रेक मारना। लोग उसे सिर्फ "ड्राइवर साहब" कहते थे। न कोई कहानी, न कोई चमत्कार। घर में पत्नी की थायराइड की दवा, बेटा ITI कर के नौकरी ढूंढ रहा, और खुद के कंधे में वो दर्द जो स्टीयरिंग पकड़ते ही शुरू हो जाता। रमेश असाधारण बनना नहीं चाहता था। वो सिर्फ चाहता था कि किस्त पर ली हुई पुरानी स्कूटी की आखिरी EMI निकल जाए। मनकामेश्वर घाट की माला पिछले महाशिवरात्रि की बात है। भीड़ की वजह से उसकी बस गोमती किनारे फँस गई। वो चाय पीने उतरा तो मनकामेश्वर मंदिर के बाहर एक नागा साधु कंबल में लिपटा बैठा था। ठंड में उसका हाथ काँप रहा था। रमेश ने अपनी जैकेट उतार कर दे दी। साधु ने झोले से एक काली रुद्राक्ष की माला निकाली, पांच मुखी, धागा घिसा हुआ। "108 बार। गिन के। 'ॐ नमः शिवाय'। न जल्दी, न देर।" रमेश हँसा, "बाबा, मेरे पास टाइम नहीं। बस में तो बस हॉर्न बजता है।" साधु ने माला उसकी मुट्ठी में दबा दी, "शिव को टाइम नहीं चाहिए। तू जब हॉर्न बजाएगा, तब भीतर घंटी बजा लेना।" रमेश ने माला लाकर बस के मीटर के पास टांग दी। तीन बार 108 अगले दिन सुबह डिपो में बस स्टार्ट करने से पहले उसने पहली बार गिना। ॐ नमः शिवाय... एक दाना, दूसरा दाना। 108 तक पहुँचते-पहुँचते सांस धीमी हो गई। उसने नियम बना लिया, साधु की तरह न कम न ज्यादा — सुबह ड्यूटी से पहले 108, दोपहर में चारबाग पर बस रुकती है तब 20 मिनट में 108, रात को घर आकर नहा धोकर सोने से पहले 108। पहले 15 दिन कुछ नहीं बदला। कंडक्टर बोला, "भोले के भक्त बन गए का?" रमेश ने जवाब नहीं दिया। पर धीरे-धीरे स्टीयरिंग पर हाथ हल्का लगने लगा। पहले जब कोई बाइक वाला सामने आता तो गाली निकलती थी। अब अपने आप जीभ पर मंत्र आ जाता — ॐ नमः शिवाय... 34, 35... और पैर ब्रेक पर पहले पहुँच जाता, हॉर्न पर बाद में। ब्लड प्रेशर की गोली जो दो साल से चल रही थी, डॉक्टर ने एक महीने बाद आधी कर दी। "टेंशन कम लेते हो क्या अब?" रमेश कहता, "नहीं डॉक्टर साहब, बस गिनती करता हूँ।" छोटी-छोटी शिव-कृपा किस्मत एकदम से नहीं खुली। वो शिव की तरह धीरे-धीरे खुली। एक दिन स्कूल की बच्चियों से भरी बस में एक लड़की का बैग छूट गया। रमेश ने अगले स्टॉप पर बस रोकी, खुद उतर कर दो किलोमीटर पीछे जाकर बैग लाया। माँ ने अगले दिन डिपो आकर पेड़े दिए। दूसरे हफ्ते उसका पुराना लाइसेंस रिन्यू अटक गया था। RTO में वही अफसर मिला जिसकी माँ को रमेश ने पिछले साल बारिश में बस में मुफ्त लिफ्ट दी थी। काम बिना दलाल के हो गया। तीसरे महीने बेटे अंशु का इंटरव्यू था, जूते फटे थे। रमेश के पास पैसे नहीं थे। उसी शाम एक सवारी बस में पर्स भूल गई। रमेश ने ईमानदारी से जमा कराया। पर्स वाली महिला ने अगले दिन आकर धन्यवाद में 2000 रुपये जबरदस्ती दिए, "बेटे के लिए जूते ले लेना भैया।" रमेश रात को माला देखता, "भोलेनाथ, पैसा तो नहीं बरसा, पर लाज रख ली।" वो शिवरात्रि वाली रात असली परीक्षा अगली शिवरात्रि पर आई। पूरी रात जागरण, हाईवे पर ट्रक ही ट्रक। उन्नाव के पास उसकी बस का अगला टायर 90 की स्पीड पर फट गया। पुराना रमेश घबराता, तेज ब्रेक मारता, बस पलट जाती। उस रात उसके होंठों पर अपने आप चल रहा था — ॐ नमः शिवाय... 71, 72, 73... उसने ब्रेक नहीं मारा। स्टीयरिंग को कस के पकड़ा, धीरे-धीरे एक्सीलेटर छोड़ा, बस को कच्चे पर लिया। बस 200 मीटर घिसट कर रुकी। 52 सवारियाँ, एक खरोंच नहीं। सब उतर कर काँप रहे थे। पीछे की सीट पर एक बूढ़ा दंपति था — वो हर साल शिवरात्रि पर बैजनाथ धाम जाते थे। बूढ़े ने रमेश का माथा छुआ, "बेटा, तूने आज महामृत्युंजय जपा है।" रमेश ने कुछ नहीं कहा। उसने डैशबोर्ड से माला उठाई, टूटे हुए टायर के पास बैठ कर पूरी 108 की एक और माला फेर दी। आँखें भीग गईं। असाधारण किस्मत दो हफ्ते बाद डिपो में नोटिस लगा — बेस्ट सेफ्टी ड्राइवर अवार्ड, साथ में प्रमोशन। रमेश का नाम सबसे ऊपर था। उसी बूढ़े दंपति ने, जो रिटायर्ड रेलवे अफसर निकले, DRM को चिट्ठी लिखी थी। प्रमोशन के साथ तनख्वाह बढ़ी। उसी महीने अंशु को प्राइवेट कंपनी में अप्रेंटिसशिप मिली — इंटरव्यू लेने वाला वही आदमी था जिसका पर्स रमेश ने लौटाया था। घर में पहली बार फ्रिज आया। पत्नी ने कहा, "शिव जी ने सुन ली।" रमेश ने रुद्राक्ष की माला धो कर फिर से डैशबोर्ड पर टांग दी। अब वो नए ड्राइवरों को सिखाता है। क्लास की शुरुआत में कहता है, "गाड़ी चलाना हाथ का काम है, पर गाड़ी रोकना मन का।" लोग पूछते हैं, "रमेश भाई, 108 बार जपने से क्या मिला?" --: शेष कमेंट में

A man started Sun Pharma with ₹10,000 in 1983. Yesterday he just bought a New Jersey pharma giant for $11.75 BILLION. All cash. The largest overseas deal in Indian biopharma history. But the press release is hiding 3 things that change everything 🧵

𝗕𝗮𝗵𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 Iranian missiles rained on Bahrain. Some Bahrainis clapped. The King didn't tweet. Didn't debate. Didn't form a committee. He picked up a pen and erased 69 traitors from the country. Their wives. Their kids. Their parents. Gone. Stateless. Overnight. No passport. No school. No hospital. No future. Cheer the enemy bombing your nation? You don't deserve to live in it. Now look at us. Pakistan butchers our soldiers. Rallies erupt in our own streets chanting for them. Our anchors call it "free speech." Our courts call it "dissent." Bahrain treats traitors like traitors. India treats them like guests. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗵𝗶 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗻?

Absolutely.

My son, Jai Veer won the prize for the best wheat at the Punjab Agricultural University Kisan Mela in March this year for wheat variety PBW872. While, at yesterday's harvest on the farm; it was the PBW826 variety which yield over 29 Quintal per acre - I never thought that was possible on the farm. A real proud moment.

बन्दे नें मजाक मजाक में बहुत "गहरी" बात कर दी 😂😅🤣😆

This has happened with Jayesh Chavan (@jayesh8826 ). His elderly father paid ₹19,343 for his late mother's health insurance in April 2021. HDFC Bank held that money in an internal pool account for 432 days. No alert. No update. No interest. When Jayesh raised a chargeback through RBL Bank in July 2021, HDFC rejected it - claiming "services were provided." They weren't. After 14 months of follow-ups, HDFC quietly issued a manual NEFT refund of ₹18,843 directly to the family. No RBL permission needed. No "third party" excuse. But when Jayesh asked how much float interest HDFC earned on his father's money during those 432 days. The bank said: "You are a third party. Contact RBL Bank." Let that sink in. Independent enough to keep the money. Independent enough to refund the money. But suddenly dependent on another bank when it's time to pay interest? RBI mandates ₹100/day penalty for refund delays. 432 days × ₹100 = ₹43,200. HDFC has paid: ₹0. This is not a glitch. This is not a technical error. This is a system designed to exhaust a grieving family until they quietly give up. Jayesh didn't. RT if you stand against this. If you or your family has faced similar thing - DM me. Your story deserves to be told.

Anonymous My sister is a nurse. ICU. She told me about a patient. Young mother. Car accident. Brain dead. Husband had to decide about life support. He couldn’t. Kept saying “I can’t let her go.” My sister sat with him. For hours. Held his hand while he cried. Finally he said “If you were me, what would you do?” My sister said “I’d let her go. She’s already gone. You’re holding on for you. Not for her.” He signed the papers. They withdrew support. My sister stayed. Entire time. Held his hand. Held the wife’s hand. Until she passed. After, he thanked my sister. Said “You didn’t have to stay.” My sister said “Yes I did. Nobody should die alone. And nobody should let go alone.” She went to the funeral. Off duty. Sat in the back. The husband saw her. Asked her to sit with family. Said “You were there when she left. You’re family now.” My sister comes home and cries sometimes. About the ones who die. The ones she can’t save. But she stays. Every time.Because dying alone is worse than dying. And grieving alone is worse than grief.

His name is Raju Narayana Swamy. In 1991 he secured AIR 1 in UPSC. The best rank in the country that year. He had a computer science degree from IIT Madras. MIT offered him a scholarship. He turned it down. He said the poorest Indians had paid for his IIT education through their taxes. He owed them something back. So he joined IAS. His first posting: a real estate developer wanted to fill a paddy field. Sixty poor families said they would flood. He refused permission. He was transferred. He exposed illegal land deals by the children of Kerala’s Public Works Minister. The minister resigned. He was transferred. He uncovered corruption at the Coconut Development Board. Officers were suspended. He was transferred. He fought corruption in civil supplies. He was removed before he could finish. 32 transfers in 34 years. He once wrote formally asking why he was being paid a salary for work that was never assigned to him. In 2025 the Supreme Court dismissed his plea for promotion to Chief Secretary. Despite AIR 1. Despite 30 years of service. He also wrote 34 books. Won the Sahitya Akademi Award. Holds a PhD in law. MIT offered him America. He chose the people. India’s system sent him one message for 34 years. Honesty will cost you everything. He paid it every time. Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.

Why does Radhika Merchant wear watches on both hands? 🤔

As I write this, my inbox is overflowing with messages from TCS employees, from Lenskart employees, from Hindu students of Ashoka University and Azim Premji University, from teachers, from mothers, from civil servants. They are sharing screenshots, they are sharing their experiences, they are sharing ads and employee guidelines that show a distinct anti-Hindu bias. ‘Talk about TCS. Talk about the bindi in TBZ ads. Talk about Azim Premji. Talk about this. Talk about that’, the messages tell me. I hear you. You mean well. But I am ONE person. A private citizen with no institutional backing, no legal team, no corporate PR machine. I am doing what I can, using my voice, my credibility and my social media presence for the cause. But here is the question that bothers me; What are YOU doing? Why are Hindus depending on a handful of voices like mine to fight their fight for them in their own land? Hindus constitute the overwhelming majority of this country. Majority of TCS employees are Hindu, majority of Lenskart employees are Hindu, majority of students at Ashoka and Azim Premjee university are Hindu, majority of the teachers and professors are Hindu, and yet, Hindus behave like a persecuted minority. This cannot go on. If you face discrimination at your workplace for being a Hindu, file a complaint and go public with it. If your company runs advertisements that erase Hindu identity, name them, call for a boycott, and follow through. If your university hosts speakers who call for violence against your civilisation, stand up in that hall, walk out or record it and make it public. Stop waiting for someone else’s courage to be contagious. Dharma does NOT protect those who will not protect it!

I have today filed a Criminal Complaint against actor Prakash Raj (@prakashraaj) before the South District Cyber Cell, Delhi Police, under Sections 299, 302, 196, 352 & 353 BNS read with IT Act for deliberately mocking Bhagwan Shri Rama and the sacred Ramayana at Kerala Literature Festival. I will pursue this complaint vigorously, just like the others. Insults to our Bhagwans and Sanatan Dharma will no longer be tolerated. These people must understand - there are limits.

Not one article on TCS in @newslaundry. Not one article on TCS in @scroll_in. Not one article on TCS in @thewire_in. Not one report on TCS by @ravish_journo. Not one report on TCS by @ajitanjum. Not one report on TCS by @abhisar_sharma. Ladies & gentlemen, “truth-to-power.”

Hasna Bikul Maana Hain.. Don't watch if you dont want to laugh ..

After the TCS incident, there would be increased scrutiny over Muslim candidates across the country. Recruiters would double-check the backgrounds of Muslim candidates, maybe sometimes even preferring Hindu candidates over Muslims, just to be on the safe side. But who is to be blamed for this? The only people responsible for this oncoming prejudice against Muslims are the 7 Muslims arrested for sexual abuse, coercion and forced conversion of Hindus working in TCS. The fact that so many Muslims were working at an IT firm and had the audacity to run a scandal, doing forced conversions, shows that there is no systemic oppression against Muslims in India. The victims here are the Hindus. Projecting this incident as some sort of Muslim victimhood is treacherous and gaslighting of the highest order. Yes, there is Islamophobia, but the reason behind Islamophobia are people like these 7 Muslims who were running this forced conversion scandal at TCS.

Asha Bhosle recorded a new song at the age of 91. Zanai Bhosle her grand daughter, did a video shoot with her. Amazing singing at this age, lovely music and Kathak dancing by her granddaughter, awesome video production of she paying tribute to her father, sister, and her departed composers and co-singers. Very touching and nostalgic. Simply wonderful ! Not to be missed!!💕.

🔻 THEY SIGNED. 38 days. That’s all it took. The regime that burned American flags for 45 years just put pen to paper and begged for mercy. Read that again. ⟁ He gave them a deadline. Tuesday. 8 PM. They laughed. They said no. They said “permanent end or nothing.” 24 hours later — they signed. THAT’S NOT DIPLOMACY. THAT’S DOMINATION. ⟁ They will tell you Pakistan brokered it. They will tell you it was a “mutual agreement.” They will say both sides made concessions. They are lying. One side had a stealth fleet in the air. The other side had children standing around power plants. One side set the deadline. The other side broke before it hit zero. ⟁ But here’s what they WON’T show you on the news tonight. This was never about oil. It was never about Hormuz. It was never about the nuclear sites. It was about the vaults. Isfahan. Kharg Island. The underground ledgers. 40 years of receipts. Every wire transfer. Every shell company. Every name. The war didn’t destroy Iran. The war OPENED Iran. And now every file, every server, every document that the regime was protecting for the global network — is in American hands. ⟁ THE SAME WEEK — Epstein’s lawyer caught lying under oath. THE SAME WEEK — Victoria’s Secret billionaire sued by survivors. THE SAME WEEK — 3.5 million pages sitting on a federal server. THE SAME WEEK — Iran signs. YOU THINK THAT’S A COINCIDENCE? The war was the key. The files are the prize. And Trump just unlocked the door. ⟁ ART OF THE DEAL. They will study this for centuries. CODE: SIGNED-38 / VAULT-OPEN / DEAL-X / NEW-ORDER-LIVE ♟️
