About my love for words, thanks to a tattered pocket dictionary and a dad who encouraged me to find words in its pages.

I agree. There is an urgent need to save BEST. Public transport is the lifeline of a city.
Private buses on the Bandra Worli Sealink bus lane! That too CityFlo, which we had exposed had no relevant permissions but was being promoted by the government. Only nominal BEST bus services on Coastal Road and the Sealink, despite the fact that the reclamation was allowed on the condition that dedicated BEST bus lanes would be there. It took months for a single bus service to start on the Coastal Road.
Instead of BEST which has the highest coverage in South Mumbai, CityFlo was given priority for metro feeder services for Metro 3!
I reiterate there is a conspiracy to weaken BEST to see to it that these private buses take over. I demand that private buses be banned on this route and BEST bus services be increased.

And yet there will be morons asking: What is Rahul Gandhi doing? Why isn't Congress protesting?
NSUI and Indian Youth Congress have done more than 50 protests across the country on NEET and CBSE issues in the last one month.

13 May 2026 – NSUI, New Delhi: Continued demonstrations against alleged failures in conducting NEET-UG fairly. Protesters demanded a transparent investigation and reforms in the examination system.
16 May 2026 – NSUI, NTA Headquarters, New Delhi: Organized the “NTA Halla Bol” protest over the alleged NEET paper leak. NSUI and IYC demanded disciplinary action against NTA officials and safeguards to protect future examinations.
17th May 2026 till date – NSUI and IYC state units: Nearly all state units, organized protests, demonstrations, and campaigns against the NEET and CBSE controversy, calling for Pradhan’s resignation
31 May 2026 – NSUI, Bhopal: Participated in a large protest over the NEET paper leak issue, demanding accountability from the government and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

If we're supposed to avoid foreign travel, why is the PM going on a 7-day tour of these countries? Are they a part of Akhand Bharat?
With elections done, PM Modi urges citizens to cut fuel use, avoid foreign travel.
PM to leave for 7-day trip to UAE, Sweden, Netherlands, Norway and Italy on Friday.

The freedom to follow the faith you want to follow is a constitutional right.
They broke our church.
They abused our women.
They threatened to burn the house of God.
Still, we ask only one thing:
👉 Let us pray.

@PizzaExpressIN Sky City Mall was a #letdown. Tandoori chicken 14"pizza was chapati-thin with few chicken pieces, no tandoori flavour. Spicy Mango Cooler was aam panna. Raw Pressery Sugarcane Juice, ₹240, poured out of MRP ₹80 bottle. Never eating at Pizza Express again.

Always connect the dots.
Who benefits is a good question to ask.
Who’s pushing Ethanol? – Nitin Gadkari
What’s it made from? – Sugarcane Molasses
How many sugar plants does Gadkari own? – 17
Who supplies Ethanol to the govt for petrol blending? – MANAS & CIAN Agro Industries run by his sons
And what do we get? – Higher taxes on Ethanol-blended petrol

Thank you. Bookmarking this tweet for the enlightenment of all the hate-filled morons who act as though 'Thou shalt support Israel no matter what' were a commandment.
Of COURSE the Bible commands us to support the modern state of Israel! It's right here in the good book, hang on.
Aha! Exodus 20:13, "You shall not murder."
Wait, hold on, that's not it. Here it is, Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers."
Hang on, shoot, that's not the one. What I meant to say is Lamentations 2:19, "Lift your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street."
Ah, wrong one, lemme thumb through this a bit more. Got it! Proverbs 24:11, "Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter."
Wait, sorry, no, it's Psalm 101:7, "No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes."
Oh no actually it's Proverbs 6:16-19, "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
Oops, no, it's definitely not that one. Actually it's Deuteronomy 27:25, "Cursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood."
No, dang it, that makes AIPAC recipients sound bad. Gimme a minute. Ah! Mark 12:31, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
No, wait, got it! Here it is, Romans 14:19, "Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification."
Oh no, that isn't the one I was looking for, it was Second Corinthians 13:11, "Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you."
Oh actually that one sounds kind of antisemitic in this context, gimme a sec.
Got it! Ephesians 4:3, "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
Hold on, that's not it either. The one I meant to cite was Hebrews 12:14, "Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord."
Oh boy, this really isn't going well. Lemme see... oh! James 3:18, "Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness."
Gosh darn it, I made a mistake. The verse I meant to point to was First Peter 3:11, "They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it."
Wait, no, it was Galatians 5:22, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."
Actually it was Luke 6:35-36, "But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."
Oops, no, nope. Man this is way harder than I thought it was going to be. Oh! Hey! Found it! It was right here in Genesis the whole time, chapter 12, verse 3: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
There! See? It's right there in black and white. God's saying we are commanded to support a modern state that we created in 1948, no matter what it does. The Bible is entirely clear and unequivocal about this, and says absolutely nothing to the contrary.
Checkmate, heathen.
All along they supported bjp, now they want the opposition to protest on #StrayDogIssue #Ethanol and #incometaxbill2025. They want the #VoteChori issue forgotten.
All the more imp for #Democracy to be protected. First, let's secure our vote. Then vote right. Thanks @RahulGandhi

What a cheap tweet by this so-called DeshBhakt. Under the pretext of informing us about another draconian bill, he is blaming @RahulGandhi and the Opposition for protesting against #VoteChori.
Some people only pretend to stand on the right side of history.
While opposition was protesting #VoteChori - BJP Govt moved ahead with their next masterstroke & passed the New #IncomeTaxBill in just 3 minutes.
IT officials will now have the authority to get access to not only ur bank accounts, trading platforms & online investments; but also your most private digital accounts i.e. - emails/social media/documents (on the pretext of 'suspicion' of tax evasion)

Happy to see this. Followers of Christ everywhere must band together to highlight the growing intolerance in India and persecution of Christians. Indian Christians have a right to live and share their faith in this land.
Cardinal Mor Baselios Cleemis, head of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, joined by prelates from the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Marthoma, and CSI Churches, led a united Christian protest at the Kerala State Capital against the growing persecution of Christians in India.
Our priests and religious sisters have endured enough. The Church will not remain silent in the face of injustice.
🙏🏽 May the Lord protect His people, strengthen the suffering, and guide our nation in truth and justice.
First a false accusation about conversion and trafficking, then threats of violence and intimidation to create a sense of fear and pressure.
Why are #Christians being harassed? #Catholic
