No greater delight than reading some fine sports writing, especially when it’s about a GOAT in the making!

While we're getting stories of police using brutal measures to keep people indoors, there's also this cop. Station Officer Vijay Gupta at Sadar Bazar, Meerut, has turned his home into a community kitchen, bearing the cost of cooking himself. He distributes meals while on patrol.
A very public threat & supari, to 'Behead' Deepika Padukone ???Surely that's enough grounds to arrest these guys. What's the hold-up from the powers that be? Still waiting, hoping for the creators to blink?

“Cricketers & officials can’t just live in their own bubble, and be totally deaf or blind to whatever is going outside. I can only imagine that while you’re having these IPL games, outside the stadium you have ambulances going to hospitals.”

! With this tweet you are not only belittling yourself but millions of Indians. Both Hindus and Muslims!! In the last 72 years India has achieved phenomenal success in almost every field. This tweet is just a smart tweet but far from the truth.:)

“Privatisation, enough empirical data shows, has almost always benefited the consumer in India. Airlines, phone companies, insurance – these were all government monopolies. Private players were allowed in, and the respective sectors took off and boomed.”

Read before you outrage. Without the private sector, without the farmer's having more choice, India's agriculture sector will never improve. All sympathetic int'l pop icons should note this before reacting.

Typically misleading headline and article... 70,000 years ago, there wasn’t any India, or even a concept of India...and any ancient tribal remedy was an ancestor to later day Ayurveda and other herbal cures, discovered through trial and error by Homo sapiens all over the world.

is a film that understands and breaks down the specifics of grief, unravels the lingering agony of trauma and argues that the fragility of life is precisely what makes it so precious. It’s a happy film about unbearable sadness. Review:
I have decided to release ₹1 Crore from my MPLAD funds, which shall be used for provisions and assistance in the fight against COVID19. Patna District administration can spend it as per requirements. I will also monitor its spending.

Bajirao Mastani - a Hindu Samrat who throws caution to wind and loves/marries a Muslim Princess - released in Dec 2015 to much acclaim. And 2 years later Padmavati - a Hindu Queen who prefers sati to capture by a Muslim King has run into such a storm.
What's changed?
Not just the US, if all of humankind could get past its ‘nationalist’ & ‘religious’ divide and spend all this 👇🏼 money on ‘development’, we’d make a lot more progress, save the planet, and maybe even populate the Galaxy eventually!
A brilliant little animated video to remind us that all the petty differences we have about religion, race, gender, caste and wealth are meaningless in the face of the fact that we are just guests on the only life bearing planet we know of 🌎!

Maybe 4 years ago & a germ of an idea when Vir first told me about Hasmukh..then 2 years ago, he & Nikkhil came to us with a plan. We greenlit the series immediately. Very quickly a dream team & cast coalesced around it.

Starving debt ridden farmers chose to march in the dead of the night to not inconvenience Mumbai. The rich & powerful choose to do a show of strength in broad daylight on a working day (disrupting traffic from the night before) and inconvenience Mumbai.

SCAM 1992 - The Harshad Mehta Story | Streaming From 09-10-20
Set in 1980’s & 90’s Bombay, Scam 1992 follows the life of Harshad Mehta, a stockbroker who single-handedly took the stock market to dizzying heights & his catastrophic downfall.
The super high fuel prices combined with pothole ridden roads which causes slow-moving traffic makes for a triple whammy on actual cost - more litres consumed to travel lesser distance = higher effective price of fuel = higher cost of transported commodities
My compliments to Indian Railways for its novel initiative in converting train coaches into isolation wards for COVID-19 patients.
It illustrates how innovative solutions can help us in our fight against Coronavirus.
