.@inBritish is delighted to present the 6th Brillante Piano Festival at our auditorium in #Delhi.
We have an amazing line-up, including #MSSMChoir from #Nagaland, complementing our partnership with @TafmaNagaland @MyGovNagaland on @HornbillFest.
Thanks @abumetha for sharing.
Delighted to see the 6th Brillante Piano Festival come to New Delhi, with Brillante Street Piano on 16 September, followed by the Festival from 18–20 September 2026.
Deeply appreciate the partnership with the British Council, with whom we share a long and continuing relationship through several collaborations and partnerships. We remain committed to strengthening this special relationship with the UK and creating more opportunities for our young people and talents.
Congratulations to the engine and driving force behind Brillante, Ms. Khyochano TCK, and the entire team. Best wishes for another successful edition !
I invite all friends, well-wishers and music lovers - especially members of the Naga community and our students across Delhi-NCR - to come, celebrate our talents and experience world-class performances.

There's a new version of this post
Again to give credit where it's due: @airindia flight AI2030 FRA-DEL was a treat and the service of the crew was exceptional. It was a #Vistara liveried aircraft, modern and everything writing. I join the legion of #Airindians who doubt the the decision to bury #Vistara. – at Delhi, India
... requests went unheeded. Walked back to the aircraft & crew were busy on phones & chatting. Got myself a coffee and walked back.
The contrast with the return flight on #Vistara craft and crew couldn't have been sharper.
Did @TataCompanies miss a trick with #Vistara? – at Delhi, India
A shout out to @airindia check in staff at @Airport_FRA #Rikita and #Gaurav for super smooth check-in experience. #AI2030 FRA-DEL – at Kelsterbach, Deutschland
Loved @ChrisNolanNews @TheOdyssey, having gone in with low expectations based on social media posts.
Was really impressed to see how epic opulence was recreated both in the language of cinema and at the level of the text, yet the treatment was shorn of any distracting excess. – at Kolkata, India

Continue to be disappointed by .@airindia. After traumatic #racist abuse by @AirIndia handling staff in @ParisAeroport in May, this time a suitcase with #fragile sticker has arrived badly dented from @HeathrowAirport #AI2018 #LHR to #DEL. No idea what's in store for the contents
Really shocking about the racist incident in @ParisAeroport by @airindia handling staff is that they did NOTHING beyond a few cursory office calls from their #socialmedia team. Having given ample time, I shall now go the legal way.
Waiting for @airindia response to damaged bag.
Extending my congratulations and best wishes to @TetsoCollege #Nagaland for making it to the top 200 colleges in India.
It's been a privilege for @inBritish to work with @Kvulo and his brilliant team to have a #GREAT lecture in 2024 & we look forward to greater collaboration.
Congratulations to Tetso College on being ranked among the Top 200 Colleges in India in the India Today Best Colleges of India 2026 Rankings from more than 45,000 colleges in India. This is a proud milestone not only for the institution but for Nagaland as well, reaffirming that our state is steadily emerging as a destination for quality education and academic excellence.
Tetso has consistently distinguished itself as one of the most progressive and forward-looking educational institutions in the region. Its globally minded leadership, dedicated faculty and vibrant student community have created a culture that encourages innovation, creativity and excellence beyond the conventional classroom.
I have had the privilege of visiting the campus on many occasions, and every visit has left me inspired. There is an unmistakable energy at Tetso - a spirit of optimism, curiosity and ambition that is shaping a generation of young leaders and changemakers.
Heartiest congratulations to the entire Tetso family. This recognition is richly deserved and reflects years of vision, commitment and hard work. May you continue to break new ground, inspire young minds and take Nagaland to even greater heights.
The best is yet to come. Congratulations once again!

Am thrilled at the success of #Nagaland's outstanding #coffee.
Huge congratulations to @MyGovNagaland, HCM @Neiphiu_Rio, Ministers @AlongImna,@JakhaluHekani and my friend @abumetha for their sustained policy support.
My favourites are @Ete_Coffee and #Juro but there are more
The unique aroma of Nagaland is calling - and yes, it’s the COFFEE.
Grown in our mist-covered green mountains, nurtured by hardworking farmers, and brewed with pride by passionate baristas, Nagaland coffee is steadily earning its place among India’s finest.
Come smell our coffee. 😉☕
It is yet another of the many reasons why a visit to the Land of Festivals deserves a place on your bucket list. From breathtaking landscapes and rich cultures to warm hospitality and unforgettable flavours, Nagaland is an experience waiting to be discovered.
... to explore.
As someone who embraced #NagaCoffee years back, I couldn't be happier , and wish it national and global success.

I wrote a letter to my daughter, about her dad the magician, before his last show in Paris @PlayersTribune theplayerstribune.com/elina-…
Absolutely shocking racist abuse from @airindia checkin staff ("Supervisor", with no name tag or lanyard between #10 & #11 at terminal 2C, young white man with goatee) at @pariscdgairport. #AI143 #checkin #incident
Adding that @airindia staff #SamerKhouri was outstanding in his empathy & attempt to resolve the issue.
There are structural #customerservice & handling issues that lie much deeper that is specfic to @ParisAeroport that @airindia needs to address urgently. No passenger abuse!
