What’s changed?

The Forest Advisory Committee has approved a plan to fell approximately 123,000 trees.
The clearing of this massive tract of contiguous jungle in Maharashtra’s Gadchiroli is to be offset by planting replacement forest 1,000 kilometres away, in 23 fragmented patches, on land the government’s own data shows is already largely forested.

When I fly back home, I land at Trichy, Bangalore or Chennai from SG.
@aaichnairport is by far the worst. The taxi boarding at arrival is a disaster.
Overrun by touts & scammers as well as a logistical nightmare!
Worse than several 3rd world airports!

Chennai Airport after scamming the people by calling it an airport is now scamming passengers coming to drop the passengers in different ways. Pathetic @aaichnairport 😤

While Worli may have 100 Cr+ penthouses, a 5 min walk from Four Seasons to St. Regis is a survival sport
Footpaths are either non-existent or triple-parked into oblivion while @MTPHereToHelp stays invisible. We pay global taxes for a Somalia like neighborhood @mybmcWardGS

As a % of net worth, 50Cr for the Murthys is far lesser than the % of net worth average people have locked into their primary home, which they mistakenly believe is also somehow an "investment".
Simplicity isn't an absolute number.

Thank you Air India for the excellent service ✈️
My elderly mother recently took her first solo international journey, something we were quite anxious about given her minor health condition and language barriers. With over 10 hours of flying, a 5-hour layover, and another 2-hour flight, it was not an easy trip.
But your crew made all the difference. From assisting her throughout to showing patience and genuine care, they ensured she was never alone.
When she arrived, she said, “they took care of me like family.”
That says it all. Truly grateful for the kindness and support. ✈️

Spoke to @NDTV on Madurai’s identity, governance, and the issues shaping the 2026 election.
Madurai is a true melting pot, like its iconic Jigarthanda, a blend of cultures, languages, and histories rooted in harmony. On language, we stand for diversity, not imposition, upholding the two-language policy and federal balance.
Under Hon’ble Chief Minister @mkstalin, we have balanced growth with welfare, strengthened fiscal discipline, and expanded development even post-COVID.
Our campaign is about performance, what we promised, what we delivered, and why continuity means more progress.

Why do @AirIndiaX express people not like @airindia?
- Won’t bother with Platinum tier on boarding gate.
- Won’t allow flight to be tracked (in Air India app).
- No check-in support.
I understand this is a separate low-cost airline, still, ignoring parent organization’s patronage is a bit awkward.

Oracle's move to lay off 12,000 India employees last night may be biggest single shot workforce reduction move in India, particularly white collar.
There will be after shocks including in already tight job market.
Hopefully this is more to do with Oracle and its financials + AI infra investment plans than IT services as a whole.

There is something revealing about arguments and insinuations that cannot engage with an idea on its merits and must instead invent motives to dismiss it.
I have absolutely no interest in “jobs”, patronage, or relevance-seeking. I have had the privilege of serving my country, and I continue to lead, at age 75, a very full, happy and engaged life in writing, music, and public thought and with my ever supportive family. I neither seek nor need validation from those who reduce public engagement to self-interest. Least of all from commentary that confuses fatuous insinuation with analysis.
A women’s caucus between India and Pakistan is not a “career move”. It is an attempt—one among many possible—to widen the space for reflection, reduce the temperature of discourse, and explore pathways that official channels cannot always pursue. It requires neither approval nor endorsement from you, who see the world only through binaries of strength and weakness.
To conflate dialogue with complicity, or citizen engagement with opportunism, is to misunderstand the very nature of statecraft. Serious nations do not fear conversation; they use it, alongside deterrence, to manage adversaries and prevent escalation.
Dismissing every effort at engagement as “self-interest” may be rhetorically satisfying, but it is intellectually thin. It replaces analysis with suspicion, and complexity with caricature.
Not every initiative requires your permission. And not every idea you disagree with is a conspiracy.
The reference to Brown University is entirely false and I will not allow it to stand. I was invited to join the India Initiative on my own merit; the Government of India had no role in that appointment and provided no funding for the Initiative. It is also incorrect to suggest any sequencing of “post-retirement placement” linked to my ambassadorship. I retired as Foreign Secretary in 2011 and subsequently served after retirement as Ambassador to the United States. To construct a narrative of influence or patronage on this basis is to rely on invention, not fact.
Facts matter. Repeating false assertions after they have been corrected risks crossing from comment into defamation. Please be aware.

Greetings on Mahavir Jayanti.
Because British historians put Buddha and Mahavir in the same slot the antiquity of Jainism which predates Buddhism by several centuries is never acknowledged.
It is one of the world’s oldest religions with 23 Tirthankars who preceded Mahavir

It means that Indian banks have played a crucial supporting role in driving the Rupee down from 85 to 95 when the system was going through tough times from tariff & ME crisis?
Why build such huge “long” positions than necessary? For quick bucks?
Samir Arora@Iamsamirarora
Latha- just to understand please explain why other than pure speculation these banks had such a huge position of dollars. How much was normal position (say 2 yrs ago) etc. What is banks' justification for this. Of course it is a free world etc but we have stock limits per investor, odi limits,nri limits in a fund, futures limit etc so what is/was the rule here.

The cap is banks can have net open positions upto 25% of their total capital. So until now they could have much larger positions in the onshore market, but offset by opposite positions in the offshore or NDF mkt. So a bank could have onshore currency positions running into a billion dollars or more, provided the net position is below 25% of its capital. Now the onshore leg has been capped at $100 million. So they have to wind down their excess positions in 10 days. This will entail losses because the onshore rate will fall below the NDF rate - the difference may well be a rupee or more. Their angst is why did you allow us to trade in the NDF market in the first place. And having permitted, give us more time to unwind.

The Middle East situation is now in uncharted territory. That leads to unconventional policy actions. A move on sharp reduction of Indian bank’s open fx positions in a short period seems to be in that category. Reminds me of Bimal Jalan play book as RBI Governor in 1998 when the ₹ was depreciating sharply post Asian crisis. If things get worse geo politically, is there an opportunity for a new version of FCNR( B) scheme?

Despite Vedanta’s marginally higher headline offer, lenders chose Adani for superior structure: upfront cash, faster recovery & far greater execution certainty vs Vedanta’s 5-6 year staggered payments with limited commitment.
Adani also offered ₹2,000 cr to flat buyers stuck 15+ years — Vedanta offered zero. Certainty trumped numbers.
Analysts also point to Vedanta’s track record in past insolvency cases as a factor weighing on confidence.
In 2018, Vedanta emerged as the highest bidder for GMR Chhattisgarh Energy with a bid of about Rs 2,500 crore but later exited the transaction.
The same year, the group withdrew from the Ind-Barath Energy (Utkal) deal after receiving approval from the National Company Law Tribunal, leading to legal disputes.

This morning, I was reading Chapter 15 of the Bhagavad Gita. One thought stayed with me. “Have courage. Stay humble. Do your duty without attachment.” Life tested this. Some years ago, Shri Jaiprakash Gaur, who built Jaypee Group, came to meet me in London. He had built an empire over his lifetime with hard work and vision. He reached out more than once. He wrote to me. His only wish was simple that what he had built should go into safe hands and be taken forward with the right intent. He even wrote me letters in Hindi, in his own words, expressing his trust. At that time, we could not proceed. Recently, the asset went into a public auction by CoC in the IBC process. Many strong bidders participated. Suddenly, the sentiment and wishes of Jaiprakash Gaur ji came rushing back to me. One by one, everyone dropped out of the bidding. Finally, we were declared the highest bidder publicly. It was a transparent process. We were informed in writing that we had won. But life is never so simple. After some days, the decision was changed. Don’t want to go into the details. That is for the right forum. But I want to share something from my heart. We have no attachment to this asset. If it comes, it is God’s grace. If it goes, that is also his wish. But one thing we believe strongly. When something is promised in dharma, it should not be taken back. In our scriptures also, we see this again and again. Truth, commitment, and fairness are above everything. So, what should one do? Gita gives a simple answer - do your duty, with courage, but without anger or attachment. That is what we will do. We will place the facts in the right way. We will follow the right path. Rest, I leave to God.
