कितना दर्दनाक है कि जब बिहार की बेटियाँ गरीबी और जेंडर डिस्क्रिमिनेशन से लड़कर अपने लिए रास्ता बना रही हैं, तब कुछ लोग उनके लिए “20–25 हजार में खरीदे जाने” जैसी घटिया बातें करते हैं। ऐसे लोगों के स्तर से कहीं ऊपर बिहार की बेटियों की उपलब्धियाँ हैं। एक तरफ़ ये लोग बिहार की बेटियों पर घटिया बयान देकर समाज में गंदगी फैला रहे हैं, वहीं वही बेटियाँ मिथिला पेंटिंग के ज़रिए पूरी दुनिया को खूबसूरत बना रही हैं। जिन बिहार की बेटियों के बारे में 20–25 हजार में खरीदने जैसी घृणित मानसिकता रखी जाती है, उन्हीं में से एक बेटी अनिता कुमारी को उद्यमिता के लिए नीति आयोग द्वारा सम्मानित किया जाता है। वही बेटियाँ लाखों स्वयं सहायता समूहों का संचालन कर रही हैं। बिहार की बेटियों को 20–25 हजार में खरीदने की सोच रखने वाले लोग समाज को असुरक्षित बनाते हैं, लेकिन उसी समाज को सुरक्षित बनाने के लिए पूरे देश में सबसे ज़्यादा संख्या में बिहार की बेटियाँ पुलिस सेवा में शामिल होती हैं।

I have moved my base to New Delhi recently, a city very close to my heart. But I have been feeling really underwhelmed. During my college years at St Stephen's, winters were beautiful and we used to look forward to foggy days. But it's not the same anymore. I wake up every morning feeling my throat is scratchy. I feel sick every time I step out - and you can't just stay at home in the air purifier all day.  Delhi air is a real problem and I feel we, as citizens, are not doing enough to turn things around. Can we do something? As a member of India's startup ecosystem, I feel we can do a lot more than just building our ventures. We have the sharpest minds solving some of the most complex problems - day in and day out. Can we take a few hours out and spend time in brainstorming solutions for some of the most pressing challenges that we face as a society? For now, if you are someone who lives in Delhi or has loved-ones who live here, air pollution has become an existential crisis. This is what I am proposing: 1: Let's get together in Delhi and brainstorm some ideas on what it is that citizens can do to respond to this crisis. Just ideas and brainstorms, no cameras, no audience. 2: We compile ideas and solutions in a document and we present it to the relevant authorities. We also tell them specifically what we can do to help them. 3: And if the authorities want, we volunteer some time and resources that may be needed to fix this challenge. If you want to join this brainstorm in Delhi, just fill this form and I will get back to you with details of the meetup. sign up luma.com/i9it5dp6

When 38 districts speak, 25,000 ideas rise; Bihar shows the way. What began as a dream of 10,000 ideas in Bihar has become 25,000 voices of change. Special mention for the 33 young passionate Startup Coordinators, the Bihar Idea Festival is no longer just an event. It’s a movement. The Bihar Idea Festival began as a dream; to spark change in all 38 districts of Bihar, to inspire people to think like entrepreneurs, to become job creators, and to believe in the power of ideas. Our initial goal was to collect 10,000 ideas. Today, we stand with 25,000 ideas, more than double what we imagined. This was not possible alone. It has been made real because of support of so many Biharis coming together - the 33 Startup District Coordinators, who are standing with me in this photo. They are living proof that together, any change is possible. It is also a reminder that big, systemic change never happens in isolation. It happens when you work with some of the most passionate, ambitious young people. Also, the industries department of government of Bihar who lead this from the front. Thank you to minister @mishranitish for making this all possible in Bihar. You have shown that a driven leader can make things happen on ground. And we await and welcome minister @PiyushGoyal to Bihar today. Sir, your presence gives us the strength, encouragement and wings to fly higher. Thank you for coming to Bihar 😍

Wheat, Bombs, Fetters: Le Grand Fromage's article in @bsindia today, on India's mind boggling fightback against US in the 60s, 70s. Inspiration for this piece came from an essay I wrote in Class 8, on how angry I was about US bullying India in 60s & 70s on PL 480 wheat & Uranium 235. So, Baccha Party, read, absorb and share. This is how India overcame sanctions. Not as Twitter warriors. But thru crystal clear decisive leadership and unbelievable execution. This story needs to be told and widely shared because it will make us all proud to be Indian. As I was. mybs.in/2eq4WEK

We have been facing this stereotype for so long now. So many efforts are happening on ground in Bihar. I have been in Bihar since last 6 months, working on the ground - and i request people to make perception not sittings miles away. And not propagate such stereotypes. Things are changing. This is not in good taste. #Bihar
