    Hi @alok_pandey, I would like to rent 10 of their rickshaws for a week. They don’t need to do anything - just promise to be at home with their families. Let me know how I can send the money.

    #JantaCurfew is bad news for Lucknow’s rickshaw pullers . They are daily wagers and income is down and the future is even more bleak . Spoke to them a while ago . Also , maintained a distance , shot on zoom , wore a mask , but did it because their voice needs to be heard !

    Every Indian wrestler at the CWG got a medal. 12 out 12. Nice sweep! With 6 of them being gold.

    Pakistani defence minister being questioned on CNN about evidence for his claim that 5 Indian jets were shot down. He said and I quote “it is all over social media”. 🤔

    You have to think back to the Vajpayee government’s decision to become a nuclear power in 1998. Critics had asked “Why??” That question has been decisively answered.

    Had the honor to meet Prime Minister @narendramodi ji. We had a great conversation about the potential for AI adoption in India and across the world. Really inspired by Modi Ji’s dedication to stay updated on the topic and his remarkable vision for the future.

    I’m thinking back to an interview I did with @msdhoni in 2010. @imjadeja was failing in match after match and there were loud calls that he be dropped. Dhoni told me - “ We need to have patience. One day Jadeja will be the all-rounder that India needs”

    Did you just equate the Dalai Lama to Masood Azhar?! 😮Actually, India should be proud it shelters the Dalai Lama. Pakistan should be ashamed it shelters Masood Azhar.

    My first big coverage - I came to Davos in 1992 with Prime Minister Narasimha Rao. India was totally ignored then and treated as unimportant. From there to the opening plenary in 2018. India has come a long way! We should feel proud!
