@airindia Flew Delhi to London on Air India yesterday. I had a smooth flight and was looked after very well. I’d like to mention the warmth, attention and care provided by Ms Juhi, one of the wonderful crew attending to us and the personal attention to each guest by Mr Lokesh.

The Lion of Ladakh passes away 🏵️ #LestWeForgetIndia🇮🇳 the passing of Colonel Sonam Wangchuk, Maha Vir Chakra (Retd), who breathed his last earlier today - 10 April 2026 following a sudden heart attack. He was 61. A recipient of the Maha Vir Chakra, Col Wangchuk led troops of the Ladakh Scouts (Indus Wing) across the glaciated heights of Chorbat La on 30 May 1999, without artillery support, securing one of the earliest successes for India during the Kargil Conflict. He came to be known as the ‘Lion of Ladakh’. We salute Col Wangchuk for his courage, leadership, and distinguished service to the Nation. We convey our deepest condolence to the family . #IndianBrave #LadakhScouts #KargilVijay #MahaVirChakra #LestWeForgetIndia

@MyntraSupport I had ordered a coat which I received yesterday. The material was bad so I immediately packed it back and requested a return. The coat had no tag when delivered.. The pickup agent refused to take the product saying there's no tag. This is unacceptable & stressful

A distinguished soldier and strategic voice falls silent In sad news - Today, 26 February 2026, India lost one of its most respected soldier-scholars, Major Maroof Raza (Retd) whose life was a testament to service, insight and the spirit of inquiry. Born in 1959, Maroof Raza graduated from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, before joining the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun, where he was commissioned into The Grenadiers Regiment in 1980. His early years in the Army took him into counter-insurgency operations in India’s North East, experiences that shaped his lifelong engagement with security and defence. After leaving the service, he became a leading strategic affairs expert, author and media anchor, known for bringing the soldier’s perspective to public discourse. He hosted acclaimed television series such as Line of Duty, anchored programmes on national security for major news networks, and wrote extensively on India’s military and geopolitical challenges. His work bridged the realms of lived military experience and thoughtful analysis, earning him respect across India’s defence and media communities. Maj Raza leaves behind a legacy of clarity, courage and dedication to understanding the forces that shape our world. Our deepest condolences to the family. 🙏🏵️

"AI is not a genie in a box. There are different use cases, different audiences, different absorption capacities. The question then, is which aspect of AI are we truly engaging with when unconscious bias in AI still remains," @ratnadv at the @BWBusinessworld panel discussion.

@airindia I mistakenly booked a ticket for a date one day ahead of the date I wanted to fly on. Called Air India helpline at 2 am. A big thank you to Pervez who responded to the call. He was pleasant and helpful and got the mess sorted quickly and efficiently

At 4 pm driving with my wife on the Zirakpur flyover. Two Punjab Police jeeps escorting a VIP towards Ambala come from behind with sirens blaring. Slowed the vehicle to let the first vehicle pass, the VIP vehicle perhaps took three additional seconds to pass because there was heavy traffic. Angered, the rear escort jeep, while overtaking from the left, deliberately cut sharply right, hitting the front of my car and then sped off. It was clearly a deliberate act, not only damaging the car, but with no concern of our personal safety on a very crowded road. The arrogance and impunity of someone who is supposed to be a guardian of law soils the uniform and reputation of the organisation. Hope @BhagwantMann and @DGPPunjabPolice take note.

There’s no better proof that life is unfair than the second bhatoora. Think about it - both bhatooras start off as equals. The second could easily have been the first. But fate intervenes. By the time you’re done with the first, three things happen: 1. You’re already full. 2. 300 calories of guilt are whispering in your ear. 3. The second one has gone limp. You still eat it, but half-heartedly. No oohs, no aahs - just quiet resignation. The second bhatoora did nothing wrong. It simply suffered from bad timing - and fades away unappreciated. So next time someone preaches about karma or fairness, ask them - what about the second bhatoora?

@ShivAroor His comic timing, the ability to deliver sarcasm with a punch, the element of mischief without malice were brilliant. Films like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron and the iconic show, Sarabhai vs Sarabhai will keep him alive forever. May his soul be at peace.

@Airtel_Presence Your people are amazing. The Gurgaon issue got resolved. I was advised by the Ahmedabad Airtel chap to delete the eSIM from my existing phone and put back the physical sim. I did that. Now my physical Sim is coming switched off. You people aren't responding.

@YoSwaroop He was a larger than life figure with amazing comic timing. Iconic films like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron and the unforgettable Sarabhai VS Sarabhai show made him much loved. May he be at peace.

Chiku is a 3.5 years old, completely healthy and fully vaccinated male Golden Retriever. He is extremely friendly and gentle and needs time, care and affection. Unfortunately his pet parent is a single working professional and unable to give him the attention he deserves. If you or someone you know can offer Chiku a happy and caring home, please reach out with your basic details to 9899950123. He deserves to be with an experienced family who can spend quality time with him. This is a Delhi NCR adoption only. #AdoptDontShop

@airindia There was a delay due to unavoidable reasons. The staff was patient and looked after us while we waited. The in flight service was very warm, patient and delivered with a smile. A special shout out for Maria and Kim for doing their job with genuine warmth and care!
