The Padma awards were once reserved for the elites, power brokers, and lobbyists. The Modi govt has truly democratised these awards & recognised social workers and unsung heroes deeply connected to the grassroots. What has changed since 2014? This is one of the many examples.

Paid 9 dollars to use a trolley for 15 minutes at San Francisco airport during the weekend. There’s so much we take for granted when it comes to basic services across India.

Sudha Murty is criticised for being too simple. Nita Ambani & family are blamed for spending way too much. Damned if you do & damned if you don't. You can’t make everyone happy.

The judiciary essentially wants to govern the largest democracy in the world. The SC judges will be appointed by the Supreme Court but the laws passed by Parliament are subject to their interference. Arun Jaitley’s speech in 2013 is as relevant in 2025. This is worth a listen.

This is how the EVMs are hacked in election after election, with Bihar being the latest example. The poor, rural woman voter has led the NDA to a spectacular victory. #BiharElection2025

The residents of Chikkaballapur singing Vande Mataram after watching #TheKashmirFiles. It’s hard to think of another movie in recent memory that has united Bharat like this. Full credit to @vivekagnihotri, @AnupamPKher & the entire team. #RightToJustice

Ayurveda will remain "pseudoscience" until someone in the West rebrands it with a fancy name, does some research and publishes it in a "reputed" journal. Pranayama methods are now "Cardiac Coherence Breathing" or "Box breathing". Yogic traditions are now "Wim Hoff Method" and

Just finished reading the manifestos of both the BJP & the Congress ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. The BJP manifesto does a decent job of convincing citizens to vote for the BJP. The Congress manifesto does an even better job of persuading citizens to vote for the BJP. Perfect

This is the difference between the two national parties. The BJP looks to the future. The Congress is stuck in the past.
