@atulkasbekar Om Shanti Shanti Om 🙏

At about 3 pm Tuesday, my dad passed away. Quietly, in his own bed, with my mum holding one hand and me the other. There was no sound. No sharp intake of breath. No struggle. He simply slipped away. He had just turned 88. You have to be especially blessed to ease into your next journey with what seemed like no pain or suffering whatsoever. Papa leaves behind my mum, four children and eight grandchildren. He was always ready with a quick joke, a sharp wit and a razor-sharp mathematical mind. Fiercely proud of his Karwari roots, the language, the cuisine and the people Totally self-made, he was generous far beyond his means, he quietly helped countless people over the years Thank you, Papa, for the values you gave us, the laughter you filled our lives with You will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever loved.

@Naa_Cheese This looks like Meharchand Market. Is it?

And left no crumbs

@OmarAbdullah Inna lillahi wa inna illahi raji'oon.

My father’s younger brother Dr Mustafa Kamal passed away earlier this evening at Paras hospital in Srinagar. Uncle Mustafa had been unwell for some months but took a turn for the worse 4 days ago. He put up a brave fight holding on against the odds. The doctors & staff treating him were amazing but Allah called him for his final journey. May Allah grant uncle Mustafa the highest place in Jannat.

@Naa_Cheese I recommend Rasayyah at Meharchand Market unreservedly to all who ask for recommendations. A hidden/underrated gem

Did a quick kebab, korma & film run to Delhi -Seekh kebab at Qureshi (40ft rd shaheen bagh) 8.5/10 -Chapli kebab at Kebabish (40ft rd Shaheen Bagh) 8/10 -Rampuri Taar Gosht & Khameeri at Rasayya (meherchand market) 8.7/10 -The Invite 9/10

@rajeshlalwani Shame on us. Our greed will be our undoing.

Shame on us

An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors: My dear young friends, I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians. This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams. I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams. So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed. To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone. And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you. To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead. With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea. And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.

@san_x_m May she inspire a whole army of girls to walk the right (albeit difficult) path. Let's show female strength.

Her name is Sonia Meena. She is a young officer, still in the early years of her career. She seized the trucks of one of the most feared mining mafias in her state. In return, she got a death threat. She kept going to court to give evidence against him anyway. She came from Rajasthan, cleared the civil services examination in her early twenties, and was posted into the Madhya Pradesh cadre. She was handed the kind of postings that break people, districts where the sand and mining mafia runs a parallel government, where trucks strip the riverbeds through the night and everyone, from the local strongman to the officials meant to stop him, has quietly agreed to look away. She did not look away. As a sub divisional magistrate, she went after the illegal sand mining directly. She impounded the loaded trucks of a powerful mining operator, a man used to being untouchable. She did not accept the usual arrangement where the raid happens, the fine is paid, and the trucks quietly return to the river the next night. So the threats began. The mafia boss she had taken on was reported to have threatened her openly. A formal death threat followed, serious enough that the state had to increase her security. Here is the part that tells you who she is. Even under threat, she kept travelling to the other district to submit her evidence in court, in person, so the case against him would not collapse. The easy thing was to fall ill, to be busy, to let the file go cold. She refused. She is not a famous name. She has no film about her. She is simply one of those officers who took the oath seriously, in a system that often punishes exactly that. They thought a young woman in her first postings would be easy to frighten. They were wrong.

@pravin1408 Sadly they need to improve in a number of areas. Customer service being just one.

@reshii I hope the bakery improves its packing standards and ensures accurate weight and equal portions in every pack to avoid disappointing future customers.

The totally melt in the mouth walnut cookies from Moonlight Bakery , Srinagar. One can go on chomping on them

@himganj153 @gauravsabnis I still dream od our meeting in CP. i hope I don'r have to wait too long for the next one.

@gauravsabnis I need to learn how and what to order at a hotpot place and need to visit one in Paris

After many years of hotpoting, my technique has changed a lot. Once I took a variety of lot of stuff. But now I know what I like the most. Spicy broth, fatty beef, pork belly, fried tofu, tofu skin, boy choy, enoki, instant ramen. That's my current hot pot standard.

@rajeshlalwani You would to have a deadened conscience to opt for this awful practice.

The quick commerce model is based on selling near expiry/expired stuff that I presume they buy at discounts. On a principle basis i am against quick commerce.

@sabakaul1 You are truly gorgeous.

This is me in Brazil 🇧🇷. With the then president.Everone was so taken in by my sarees. They simply loved them ❤️

@panditaAPMCC63 @OfficeOfLGJandK @manojsinha_ @akshaylabroo @diprjk Warm welcome home, Mahra 🙏

After nearly 5 decades visited Govt of J&K circuit house in Srinagar Kashmir🍁 I started with breakfast. This famous circuit house needs a lot of repairs & refurbishment urgently. Nearly a heritage site. @OfficeOfLGJandK @manojsinha_ @akshaylabroo @diprjk

@7why__ydm Not giving a rat's ass about what some random stranger, whom I'm never likely to see again, thinks of me.

People that eat in restaurants alone or drink at the bar solo, what’s your secret to social confidence?

@rajeshlalwani That whole area has gorgeous, well-maintained roads with shade-giving trees, every road having its own species.

Wellington Crescent (Mother Teresa Crescent now) remains my favourite road in Delhi. I remember riding with my dad on cold winter days - no traffic.

@safiakhan71 @mcgulmarg Apart from anything else, this is not the condition one wants to leave this land to our future generations.

@mcgulmarg This new garbage dump has come up at the end of Shajimarg Road. The accumulated waste has been causing a foul smell, attracting stray animals and creating unhygienic conditions. Kindly arrange for its removal and take necessary steps to prevent future occurrence.

@HamdaniSameer Here's what is flowering chez nous

Saz i posh.

@according2_taz @LadyColinCampb Both of you look stunning, Taz. Slender and stunning.

Well despite the Newlook shoe drama! I did in fact make it to the ball! Thank you @LadyColinCampb for being such a beautiful and gracious hostess ❤️ It’s always a pleasure to spend time at Castle Goring and meet so many new faces! 🏰 🪩

@SrinagarGirl 😥

My mom often asks me - “yet’i chha na yemberzal khasaan?” and my reply always is - “ tel’i kya gayo!”. We live in Gurgaon🤨

@himganj153 Why are we never in the same city at the same time!!!

40 degrees and getting roasted, but some banger Korean fried chicken for lunch
