When the Indian arm of a global spirits giant takes a 15 per cent stake in a startup creating non-alcoholic beverage, and a year and a half later ups the stake to 25 per cent, it makes one take notice. Read more: trib.al/pwTgtIr ✍️ @ndcnn

Useful read. A real world analogy could be: going regularly to the gym (a discipline) is excellent. But your final fitness also depends on what you eat, how you sleep, your age, genetics, etc.

The delhi gymkhana issue reminded me of this brilliant expose in the Indian Express . Check the opulent CSOI club! Exclusive: Funds meant for athletes routed to bureaucrats’ pools, clubs, colonies | Express Investigations News - The Indian Express share.google/Pao75GrssMfiSC…

The CBI has arrested Manisha Sanjay Havaldar, a Pune school headmistress (Sheth Hiralal Saraf Parshala) for leaking the NEET-UG 2026 Physics paper. Her biggest qualifier? She was appointed by the NTA itself as an expert, giving her direct access to the questions. CBI says she leaked question paper to her co-accused Manisha Mandhare, who has been arrested on May 16. The leaked questions matched those in the NEET UG exam 2026. ​Three very insiders - P V Kulkarni (retired Chemistry lecturer from Latur) – accused of leaking the Chemistry portion. ​Manisha Mandhare (Senior Botany teacher from Pune) – accused of leaking the Biology (Botany and Zoology) portion and now ​Manisha Havaldar (School Headmistress from Pune) - accused of leaking Physics portion - trusted to safeguard the future of 22+ lakh students are the ones leaking the papers. How can @dpradhanbjp continue to head the ministry after this? Absolute systemic rot.😡

The car that @INCKerala minister O J Janeesh was allotted has the registration number that matches his margin of victory from Kodungallur constituency -- 8308. Janeesh says his wife noticed the coincidence. What should we call it? Via Manorama

"Unanimously " Ha ha. The most deserving man for the job V D Satheesan really had to fight for his post.
Congress@INCIndia

The Congress Legislature Party had met in Thiruvananthapuram on May 7th, 2026 and had unanimously resolved to authorize the Congress President to appoint the new leader of the CLP in the state of Keralam. Accordingly, the Congress President has held extensive discussions with the Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, the AICC Observers who had met with the newly elected MLAs on May 7th, 2026 and many other leaders from the state including MPs, former PCC Presidents have also been consulted. Based on all these discussions, it has been decided that Shri @vdsatheesan be appointed as the leader of the CLP. : General Secretary, AICC, In-Charge Keralam @DeepaDasmunsi JI

Random observations: Yes, Congress has made the best choice in VD Satheeesan. Only VDS could have predicted 100+ seats for UDF. Wait, he even drew up a list of Congress with 65 MLAs before polls. And that too happened! KC Venugopal lost his name, fame and clout. Had he not jumped into the 'circus' ring, he could have acted like a Super CM-like power. Big time goof-up. Shafi Parambil, arguably the most popular leader in Kerala now, took a major image- beating for having chosen to side with KC. Even in Malabar/North Kerala. Mathew Kuzhalnadan, too, did the ultimate harakiri. Not just Shafi this applies to young leaders PC Vishnunath and AP Anil Kumar. Bravely, K Muraleedharan batted for VDS, irrespective of the loss it could have on his political career. Finally, VDS will be a leader/CM in Pinarayi mould. Left will have a tough time ahead. #Kerala

Absolutely!
Rajeev Mantri@RMantri

1/ Owing to high barriers to entry, India’s lodging and hotels industry has become a cartel that raises prices at will and fleeces customers. India’s luxury hotel average daily rate (ADR) in Mumbai and Delhi now rival those of New York and London. Absurdly enough, the financial press sometimes celebrates this as some triumph of Indian hospitality. It is nothing of the sort. High prices are the unmistakable stamp of a supply-constrained market in a low income country, which should actually have a very competitively priced and deep pool of lodging options. The hotel industry is a structural failure being hyped as a success.

The ‘Go Zero’ movement is catching fire in the beverage segment. Grocery shelves and quick commerce listings are suddenly crammed with milk shakes, aerated beverages, tonic water, coffee drinks and protein smoothies that are zero sugar or low-sugar, with many being zero-calorie too.

My love for hiring leaders from marquee brands has a history of hits and flops. Whether it's recruiting or promoting the aura of leaders, their pedigree, and the brands they represent, has lowered my guard over time. I have reflected this allure in today's @businessline column.

In Canada, a cat was trapped inside a house during a fire. Firefighters entered the house to rescue the cat, but no matter what they did, the cat wouldn’t come out. Instead, it meowed at a firefighter and tried to lead him toward the kitchen. The firefighter followed the cat 😿 The cat stopped in front of a cabinet in the kitchen and tapped on it with its paws, asking for it to be opened. When the firefighter opened the cabinet, he saw that the mother cat had hidden her kitten there to protect it from the fire 🐾. The mother cat showed the firefighter where her baby was, making sure it would be rescued 🥺❤️ Truly emotional moments… A mother’s heart always thinks of her child first, even in the hardest times 💔❤️‍🩹
