We have become a country of bombastic language which has decided to forget the civil war in Manipur where daily casualties occur but no one counts the bodies. What happens in the fringes of India's Northeast bothers no one, least of all the Prime Minister..

Worth remembering, the origins of Michelin Stars were to drive car travel & tyre usage. 1 star: A very good restaurant in its category. 2 stars: Excellent cooking, worth a detour. 3 stars: Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.  So Tresind is worth a journey to Dubai!

A timely article. One point often missed - humidity makes us much more prone to heatstroke than dry heat. Because sweat needs to evaporate to cool the body. If it doesn't, the body overheats & our thermoregulatory system goes berserk. Stay hydrated but also ensure sweat cools off

A well-deserved, much belated recognition of our theatre guru for more than 50 years of outstanding effort in advancing theatre & the performance arts in India. Congratulations 🙏

A close encounter of the most terrifying kind. And a sense of rebirth after. A must read by Derek O'Brien | ডেরেক ও'ব্রায়েন As the Buddha might have said- "In the shadow of death, life becomes light— each step, a letting go; each moment, a flame." ndtv.com/opinion/30-ter…

Wow ! The winning word was "éclaircissement" : an enlightening explanation of something that has hitherto been obscure or inexplicable. Kudos to the lad with Telangana roots, who became the 30th Indian American to win the title in 36 years. nytimes.com/2025/05/29/us/…

Shocking lack of anticipation & planning that led to this terrible tragedy. Is life so cheap ? hindustantimes.com/india-news/sid…

I think he meant to say disgusted. But whether a slip of language, or a Freudian slip, this has disgraced all who went through with it without due foresight, & are trying to shrug off any responsibility hindustantimes.com/cricket/bcci-r…

Eid ul Adha greetings to all ! Wishing for peace & prosperity 🙏

Final ho to aisi ! My god, it's in its 5th hour, & both are still going strong, the match swinging this way & that. Sinner squandering 3 match points in the 4th set. Incredible fightback by Alcaraz, now just ahead by a whisker. But the fight is far from over Phew

In the end, only one could win. Three cheers for Alcaraz, but to Sinner too, hats off ! Tennis was the biggest winner tonight 🙌

Umar Khalid in jail for more than five years without trial should be one of the most outrageous injustices committed in independent India. A young man languishing in prison and also being denied bail several times. It is not only sad but tragic as well.

Thoroughly enjoyed this deep dive conversation with a master practitioner of the art of long- form podcasts, Amit Varma. It was a spontaneous, unfiltered exchange. For those with an appetite for more substantial fare, do check it out..

Had absolutely on-time flights in & out of the country on Air India in the last 10 days, including one just day before yesterday. Ground handling & staff were courteous & helpful. No deviation. Let all hold their horses till the final report about the ill-fated AI 171 is out

A few mad men, hellbent on destruction & drunk on power are plunging the world further & further into chaos. They must be prevailed on, all of them, to put the brakes on this cycle of violence taking the world & humanity to the brink. Peace at all cost🙏 ndtv.com/world-news/ira…

So we're caught between the devil & the deep sea - obsessive authoritarian strongmen running rampage on the one hand & a war of conflicting narratives & propaganda on the other. Dangerous times indeed
