@BalakrishnanR This bank has the highest risk DNA (not at all reflected in the credit rating the bank enjoys) .. this too may be normal operational risk in their classification. And for the investors this another one off.

This Bank has some mishap or the other. Wonder if they will recover anything.

@sumedhasharma86 @cmohry @NayabSainiBJP @BJP4Haryana x.com/i/status/20240… @CPCB_OFFICIAL needs to learn from this man

In a moment going viral on social media @cmohry @NayabSainiBJP gives a helicopter ride to man who jokingly asked him for same during a visit in #Haryana. Classic example of Maang k to dekho. #ViralVideos #TrendingNow @BJP4Haryana

@shekharkapur Please make an *article* film on 'Dhool and Dhuan' polluting our cities. We need policymakers and politicians to wake up to arrest pollution. Please have a look at the posts from @cleanAirBharat would be happy to support you with background data and real incidents.

Throw back pic from my first film, Masoom. On the first day of release, I went to the main theatre … and there were only two people in the whole cinema hall.. and one of them was me ! Those days ‘black marketing’ of cinema tickets was really prelavent .. young men, or even gangs, would bulk by cinema tickets and then sell them at higher prices on the day of the show.. of course if the hall was full .. Except the first show on the first day for Masoom, the hall was completely empty ! Outside I got surrounded by some pretty angry looking young boys when they discovered I was the director .. they had lost their money that day .. I must have looked pretty crestfallen. So one of them actually took pity on me, and said .. ‘Sir .. the problem is you’ve made an ‘article’ film’ .. if you want a career , don’t do that ‘ Article film ?? I kept wondering .. article film .. I realized he meant an ‘artistic film’ .. Don’t ever make an artistic film this young black marketeer was trying to warn me .. Well, the Friday of release .. all the cinema halls were empty .. as they were on Saturday, Sunday , Monday , Tuesday .. The Distributors of the film gave up trying to support the film. It was too expensive to keep the film showing to empty halls .. I remember the feeling that day .. when they told me they had decided to give up trying to hold the theatres .. I walked the streets of Mumbai and thought about what I was going to do next in my life , for making films was certainly no longer an option. Something strange happened on Thursday. A friend called me and asked if I could help him get tickets to Masoom. I told him that was a bad joke. But then .. On Thursday one cinema hall had filled up .. then on Friday there were lines of people waiting to buy tickets .. and over the weekend the distributors were scrambling to get back the halls they had given up, and my ‘Article’ film was declared a hit .. What happened that weekend ? People say in retrospect it was ‘Word of mouth’ .. but how could it be, when hardly anyone saw the film ? What happened that Thursday ? .. I still wonder as am about to go into making ‘Masoom, the next generation’ .. years after Masoom the original became a cult film .. Is ‘Masoom, the next generation’ another ‘Article film’ ? #film #Masoom #throwback #directing #FilmDirecting #Career

@ShereenBhan @CNBCTV18News @CNBCTV18Live So Nirmala Tai runs PFC / REC.. 'board of directors' makes post facto approvals. @ShereenBhan no red flag from corporate governance perspective? Poor minority shareholders who trusted the board of directors.

#BudgetSession2026 PFC Board gives in principle approval to restructure in the form of a merger of PFC & REC, while ensuring that post merger PFC remains a Govt company @CNBCTV18News @CNBCTV18Live #Budget2026 #BudgetWithCNBCTV18

@Iamsamirarora Indian market will have to be plotted on a different scale 😞

@sumedhasharma86 @VipulGoelBJP @cmohry @PMOIndia Who says exigency has been for 2 years? Its over a decade of exigency. How'll it be sorted in 2 months Has @MunCorpGurugram started investing in waste processing facilities or developing waste collection system? If the answer is no, then u know what to expect.. @cleanAirBharat

As #Gurgaon #Gurugram is on way of sanitational redemption ULB Minister @VipulGoelBJP says the solid waste exigency on for almost two years will end soon. @cmohry #swachhata #Haryana @PMOIndia #WasteToValue tribuneindia.com/news/haryana/g…

@sbikh Any plans to reduce tonnes of paper/ plastic waste Zomato / blinkit generate? We should leave this earth better than before for the next generations. You have a huge backlog and the garbage pile is building up with each new order. AND mother Earth can't even protest.

Thank god for enlightened people who get it

@iancassel Very interesting @inves4_com

“The way to judge yourself is inertia analysis. Run your January 1 portfolio for the full year without any changes and compare it to your actual results. It's awful because some years you realize all you did was subtract value when you went into the office." microcapclub.com/how-much-are-y…

Two corrections 1. No one has said Air quality is fine. pm2.5 higher than WHO norms. 2. There is a stark difference in Air quality vs Air quality reading. If u sprinkle water + switch off monitors in worst times. reading will improve, not Air quality. Misleading naive citizens.

@cleanAirBharat @MunCorpGurugram

@Nik_Inamdar @AnkurBisen1 have a look at how ineffective @CAQM_Official is!!! Their role ends at writing a letter (dated March 2025). Can you please cover this and many irregularities over the last decade. It may move @CAQM_Official to get an action taken report from MCG and GMDA

@Nik_Inamdar @BBCIndia @Infra_VinayakCh @AnkurBisen1 Follow @cleanAirBharat for some deeper insights on problems and solutions

Why, unlike #China during its boom years, isn't #India's blazing GDP print leading to a regeneration of its decrepit cities? My piece for @BBCIndia with great insight from @Infra_VinayakCh @AnkurBisen1 bbc.com/news/articles/…

@vikramchandra The penalty is for burning lesser biomass than Govt mandate,not for breach of emissions norms. It's another thing, lack of FGDs, smoke due to waste burning, fine dust due to vehicular movement are all controllable issues, not highlighted (possibly not understood) by media

Don't underestimate the contribution of thermal power plants towards air pollution. These may have been moved out of the NCR - but emissions travel! It's too late for 2025 - but one of the fastest ways to cut air pollution in 2026 is to enforce industrial emission controls, and to try and shift some of these plants to gas.

@devinamehra I always carry my bottle and fill water from these taps. They serve dual purpose: you can have water even if you aren't carrying a bottle. And for the Janitors closet, as long as the cleaning staff knows the purpose, how does it matter?

After spending considerable time at airports over the past 3 days I am wondering why we think anything American or Western is better and 'modern' Starting with the absolutely idiotically designed drinking fountains - borrowed from Hollywood movies All our lives we have had water comfortably and without wastage with a 'chullu' from a downward facing tap... But that would have been too down market so we now have to wrestle with this fountain where hardly any water lands up in your mouth Then there is a door called Janitor closet in the loos. Let alone the cleaning staff, I bet if you do a survey of the passengers the majority will not know the meaning... This word is almost never used in Indian English writing even today But here someone in their wisdom thought that writing Cleaning supplies or Store is not good enough Which only bolsters my view that most people do not and cannot think from first principles Cannot think that whether something that is generally accepted is true/untrue, functional/not functional, good/bad For them by definition American is better than Indian even if we are talking design

@BDUTT Ways to combat air pollution Step 1: show lower AQI & pm2.5 levels (see the pics taken @gurugram last night). people think pollution is not high. Step 2: say pollution has no impact on health and life span. Step 3: allow firecrackers so that fumes stay with us thru the wintrers

What. And everything I want to say after that is not parliamentary

Kudos to the lounge @miagoaairport Mopa, Goa for installing water dispenser. Helps to save tonnes of plastic and gives options to guests for 3 different water temperatures. Request you take one more step to replace paper cups with reusable glasses / cups. #WWYW

@Nithin0dha @RainmatterOrg Follow @cleanAirBharat to understand the problem as a problem well defined is half solved. we need governance, skilled people, systems, KRAs, accountability, and the budget to run our cities. Most municipalities lack most / all of these. DM if you want to make a difference.

I was watching this video by @RainmatterOrg about how Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) cleaned up the Kham river in 5 years. It had become a sewage drain, and they turned it back into a flowing river. Made me think about especially of Delhi's air quality problem. They mapped 249 waste entry points with drones and installed traps. Rerouted sewage to treatment plants and built new ones. Set up a facility for textile waste from factories. Cleaned the river and discovered springs that were buried under debris. Fixed waste collection across the city, removed 170 dump sites. The municipal commissioner joined weekend cleanups himself. Citizens showed up every Saturday. The key was stopping waste from entering the river in the first place, not just cleaning it. If a smaller city can pull this off in 5 years with the municipal corporation, NGOs, and citizens working together, I was wondering if governments, businesses, NGOs, and citizens actually collaborate, can't they make a difference in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and many other cities where the Air quality is really bad.

@hjethva05 Noted. You could possibly tack waste burning incidents and establish a correlation with pm2.5 like you have done for stubble burning.

@vibharewal Refer to my post: "all sorts of burning", including bonfire, waste burning, and large-scale crop fields burning (plus accidental fires)

What’s in store for this year’s post-monsoon stubble burning season in NW India? 📈 Historical satellite record (2002–2021) suggests ~15,000 fire counts (via MODIS). Predictions missed the mark in 2022–2024 due to shift in peak fires 🔥 to late afternoon, dodging satellite eyes

@hjethva05 It's just not stubble burning, waste burning is also a major cause. Have a look at the link. x.com/cleanAirBharat…

Smoke from Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Pakistan all in flux, moving across NCR and further down the IGP No amount of vehiclular emissions/power plant/industries can generate a smoke blanket of this scale Open field burning of all sorts a single major contributor

@sabeer @Kavita03348721 It's not about the money.. it's just the power game. 4th largest economy fits well in a narrative to gain power, just as Swachch Bharat and so many narratives.

@sabeer @Kavita03348721 A political mindset that values only vote bank. A vote bank that's not educated enough to understand poor air quality implications on quality of life. And an administrative & judicial system that has forgotten their fundamental duty as they are too busy to please the politicians.

In an earlier tweet, I questioned why a government celebrates becoming the 4th-largest economy while our air, water, and food deteriorate. The answer, my friends, is simple: a mindset that values money more than human life.
