When you get back to #golf after a prolonged hiatus, the moment must be archived. From this morning.

When survival is at stake, crime & revolution both look like opportunity. Joblessness makes young people vulnerable to those who exploit their desperation. Some find a voice in protest. Others are drawn into crime, as an easy way out to assert power. The distinction matters.

A bit confused. Why would I consider another Apple device to do what 10+ Apple devices at home already do? What new problems does it solve? Or is it just another device that one has to remember when to charge? #AppleHomeView

A six-decade-old rug at home. A memory from when my parents were posted in Fiji, from 1965–70. Some things simply stay. #home

I’m fed up with books that survive editors, proofreaders and multiple editions, cost a fortune, and yet remain riddled with errors. Nothing snatches the joy out of reading faster. #SundayReads

Our living conditions are generally poor. We don’t love travel as much as we crave escape. Live better where you live. A clean, comfortable home. Eat well. Have interests. Explore your city. Parks, cafés, museums. Staycation nearby. You won’t need to flee every long weekend.
Story of every Indian tourist at a hill station 2–3 holidays fall together → everyone rushes to the same famous spot → pays 10x for rooms, inflated taxi & food prices → spends hours stuck in traffic → then complains the place is overrated

#LikeAGirl by @Aparna is one of the loveliest books you could give young girls & boys. Excellent production, beautiful illustrations, and 56 stories of women who inspire. Bought one to gift. Now 3 in my family aged 25 to 60, are demanding their own copy. #books

To those who forward 10 random videos on WhatsApp every morning: Thanks to you, I’ve perfected the long press → delete thumb-yoga ritual with my eyes closed. Very calming. No idea what you send. Or why. But admire your commitment to a conversation I’ve never participated in.

Corporate awards that are authentic & meaningful are a rarity. Great to be at @businessline Change Maker Awards where real change-makers like Purnima Devi Burman & @BROindia were feted by FM Nirmala Sitharaman. Caught up with Thomas, Chitra, Sanjay @shubhos & @meenaambwani too!

Aneet Padda. Truly, wow. What an unnatural bundle of talent. A roaring performance in #Hunkkaar. Her character Meenu Rawat is probably one of the finest performances I’ve seen from a young actor in India. Ever. Take a bow.

Galaxy Pizza last night, followed by coffee & cookies at Galaxy Treats. Best pizzas in town, for sure. And I’m a Leo’s fan. Their half-and-half pizzas make sharing easy, garlic breads are outstanding, and those dips are the secret sauce. Good food, great neighbourhood energy.

Was listening to @nikhilkamathcio’s podcast with @Rajesh_Magow & Puneet Chhatwal. If you want to know why tourists don’t come to India, skip the conferences, surveys & data. Go to a Tourist Info Counter if you find one, or into a Tourism Dept. office. You’ll have your answer.

“When women rise, magic happens, and the Hargila takes flight,” said Purnima Devi Barman, the businessline Changemaker of 2026 as she accepted the award to thunderous applause. In a heartwarming moment, the conservationist from Assam who has saved the endangered greater adjutant stork (Hargila), asked the audience to move their hands in an action reminiscent of a bird flapping its wings — a spontaneous call that touched and stirred the audience.

Purnima Devi Barman @StorkSister, the wildlife biologist who turned the fight to save Assam’s endangered Hargila into a powerful women-led conservation movement, is @businessline’s Changemaker of the Year at the #BLCM2026 Awards. A remarkable woman and a truly worthy winner.

Brands that use lazy, AI-generated creatives to promote themselves invite greater scrutiny. Nothing wrong with using AI. But there’s a lot wrong with letting it become your voice. The best use of AI is when you cannot see or feel it. Make your work better, not soulless.

Reimagining India’s food diplomacy: 29 states. 29 chefs. One signature dish from each. A 29-course journey across India, with each plate carrying its own story, history & trivia. Guests leave with a beautiful coffee-table book capturing the experience. That’s how culture travels.

Sad to see foreign affairs journalists reduced to influencers, tying themselves in knots over a free backpack and some fox nuts. Some would never have done this by choice. There is little dignity in performing journalism to a script.
