The birth year of Balasaheb Thackeray is 1927, it is NOT 1926. So Jan 23, 2026 is the START of his centenary year. The centenary will be in Jan 2027. Most people are saying/writing wrongly that he was born in 1926. My book on his life has the details. ROLI

Absolutely shocking that Ajit Pawar has died in a plane crash. Maharashtra has lost a politician who was known for his grip on the administration and his clear-headed decision-making.

Ajit Pawar had emerged from his uncle's shadow after much effort and an act of rebellion, and the Mahayuti govt in fact came to be known for his complementarity with CM Devendra Fadnavis. My piece in The Times of India

Why Sunetra Pawar is seen as the ideal choice to lead the NCP: she ticks all the boxes - of seniority, parity (with the rest of the Pawars), continuity and stability. My piece in The Times of India

Cracks have opened up in the Pawar family once again with Sunetra Pawar deciding to take up the Maharashtra Deputy CM's post in the wake of her husband Ajit Pawar's untimely death. My piece in The Times of India

I'd written in the very first line of this piece how there was something odd about statements related to 'merger talks' happening in the 2 NCP camps. Events bearing out the contradictions, and the contrasting stands of both camps getting clearer and sharper

A superb, sparkling innings by Sanju Samson! Best part was him taking fresh guard at 50 - almost unheard of in a T20 game & yet what he told himself through that gesture was the essence of his knock: smashing brilliance combined with responsibility

Superb batting by England’s Jacob Bethell. Heroic effort but could not take his team through. Sanju Samson again playing an innings that set the momentum for India. Turned out to be a close semi-final with England only 7 runs short of India’s 253.

Sanju Samson showed humility after winning player of tournament, crediting Sachin Tendulkar for his guidance in tough times. And trolls were disgraceful in their comments on the Narendra Modi stadium as venue. Congratulations to the Indian cricket team on winning the T20 World Cup!

Reading all the critical comments about the Ahmedabad pitch and India’s big score makes me wonder if I was hallucinating when New Zealand won the toss and asked India to bat first. Or if ICC & BCCI in a grand conspiracy made the wicket suddenly change its nature when NZ batted!
