Her fearless, lone-wolf energy brings flashbacks of Bigg Boss legends like Sidharth Shukla and Gautam Gulati, both alphas who didn’t hesitate to take on the entire house.
The private sector stays out of climate resilience funding because projects lack revenue models, bankability, and local data. But empowered Urban Local Bodies can unlock that.
Protecting established entities, resisting change, or prioritising short-term political gains can all lead to stagnation traps. India must embrace creative destruction for prosperity.
If every project was held to measurable net-zero standards, India could show the world that a country’s prosperity doesn't have to be delinked from the planet’s prosperity.
His career is an example of how talent doesn’t always equate to long-term success. He tasted fame, lost it, found it elsewhere, and then returned to carve a niche in supporting roles.
In the context of the new emerging global order, India was required to reshape and nuance its foreign policy. It has done so, based on core national interests. Will the EU do the same?
Instead of bouncing off each other, hosts Kajol and Twinkle Khanna keep stepping on each other’s lines like two people fighting for the last word at a PTA meeting.
The words she wrote in our autograph book echo in my mind now: 'Mar kar bhi jo jeete hain, wohi jeete hain'—The only lives worth living are those remembered long after death.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
“When you have to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.” – Eli Wallach as ‘Tuco’
Mr. Chari acts as if the whole world along with Indralok is pleading, and holding back this Govt. from performing what is for it a trivial task.
I beg Mr. Chari to tarry no more. Recite the mantra for the Govt. to bare its mighty chest and powerful arms, and take back PoK, our Chinese occupied territories, and Tibet.
Like Hanuman who loomingly rises to bludgeon those who dare glance unchastely at Mother Sita, your party’s Govt. should rise to shield Bharat from any scratch, and bulldoze Pakistan and China into the dust.
While it is at it, it might as well also bulldoze Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. And Maldives and Turkey. And Canada. These countries too don’t deserve any mercy. They all have made it a habit of walking all over us, and making us feel small, dirty, and discarded.
Why the effete dithering?
Is it that those ill-begotten nations won’t be dealt with as easily as it is to organize the rape and killing of innocent, unarmed citizens? Or the cruel, senseless bullying of Kashmiri students?
When it is time, those who are strong, act . They don’t merely and endlessly yap.
That’s why I did not bother to glance at Mr. Shekhar Gupta’s piece which is on the “nuances” in the Hon. PM’s statement.
What curves and nuances could there really be? It does not take much for the bewitched to imagine complex shapes in empty space. And marvel at them.
Instead, I recalled myself marvelling recently at Mr. Alex Philip’s given revelation of his remarkable hindsight that also got cast ahead as an uncanny foresight, and which made out that if Balakot had happened now (i.e., when Mr. Alex Philip was having his epiphany), then the Airforce would have used their Rafale aircraft instead of Mirages.
That bright and intricate contrarian thought deservedly required the whole article for itself.
Nevertheless, my own reflections make me continue to wonder….notwithstanding…how that would still not be or have been too extreme. Especially, when we have our Gnats and Canberras standing idle in their hangars.
This is rooted in idealism rather then reality. Pakistan is a nuclear armed nation. There is no way India can carry out a 71 style partition of Pakistan and come away unscathed. Instead of 26 deaths, India will have 26 million.
India should focus on courting more allies, isolate Pakistan on the world stage and covert anti terror operations, cyber attacks etc. At the same time extend more support to Pashtuns and Balochis and the Taliban. To counter Turkey, learn from Russia who has effectively countered Turkish drones. And consider increasing ties with Kurdish groups and Iran.
And tone down the anti Muslim rhetoric in India. Indian Muslims are still Indians. All that manufactured hate just ends up playing into the hands of Pakistan and it’s allies.

We are incapable of reclaiming POK. We don’t have money, armaments, political will, and diplomatic backing to do it.
