It’s so crazy to me that Paul McCartney is still alive. An artist as influential to 20th-century culture/history as Dalí or Picasso is just casually on Amy Poehler’s podcast and has an Instagram account.

One has to appreciate the @narendramodi govt. Their resolve for @EODB_India_GoI is commendable. This is a survey received from the @DPIITGoI. MSMes face a lot of challenges in dealing with government and these small steps help in identifying issues and resolving them quickly. Credit where due. 👍💯👏

On the occasion of Shri L. K. Advaniji’s 99th birthday, I am delighted to share two letters from our family archives, dated March 1963, written by him to my great-grand-aunt, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, India’s first Union Health Minister. Written during his early years at Organiser, these letters offer a fascinating glimpse into the correspondence between two distinguished figures from different generations and political traditions. As Shri Advaniji enters his centenary year, I extend my warmest wishes for his continued good health and well-being.

As @StartusharMr will tell you due to ban on share wise sale, most houses here in North Chandigarh especially are empty. This is what the SC order has done to businesses in Chandigarh & most have moved out to invest elsewhere. No business, no jobs, no people. On the flip side great for the environment and very peaceful but what’s the point when it’s a ghost town. 💀
Empty shops and markets even on Diwali ?? Is it only here in parts of Chandigarh ?? I specifically went to this market because it usually stays crowded, and I was expecting festive vibe on Diwali But to my surprise, this market was empty the market next to it and next to it, and then we went to a lot of other markets, they were far less crowded compared to even normal days What might be driving all this? Is it only a tier one or tier two city phenomena that markets are empty because a lot of people come to these cities for work and they go back to their home towns on festivals ? is it because people are ordering online ? Or is it because the spending power has shifted or maybe the spending pattern has shifted away from festivals ? What is the status of your hometown ? Do let me know in the comments 🙏

AQI and Fallacies - explained Delhi records almost 300-500+ AQI daily, while Chandigarh in Punjab often less than 100 So, the farmers are not at fault? 1 week fire data shows extensive stubble burning Now notice wind pattern. It heads towards Delhi and UP just skipping foothills

To the outside world Chandigarh is fascinating no doubt, especially if you’ve lived your life and have nothing else to achieve. For anyone who is young and ambitious, this is not a city for you to spend your life in. As simple as that.
do people ever go to Chandigarh as tourists? I’m so fascinated by the city

Chandigarh is a modern city. It should be allowed to evolve on 21st century lines, not be relegated to a glorified village where there is no talent, no ambition and no drive.
Day by a day my conviction becomes stronger. Getting villager mindset into cities without factories and tall buildings was a mistake. This is Indian NIMBYism. They want houses like villages but amenities of Urban Areas. You cant have your roti and it it too. IMAGE A is a city here people work and enjoy an active life. IMAGE B is a village pretending to be a city. Here Brutalist idiots psyop India making them belive its some heaven.

This picture shows the humility of @CMOTamilnadu @actorvijay @TVKVijayHQ. Earlier, an Inspector occupying his seat even before a DSP/AC was unheard of. Today, an Inspector sits before the Chief Minister, ADGP (L&O) & Zonal IG. Symbolic & sends out the right message @tnpoliceoffl

आज नई दिल्ली में माननीय केंद्रीय गृह एवं सहकारिता मंत्री श्री अमित शाह (@AmitShah) जी से भेंट कर चंडीगढ़ से जुड़े विभिन्न महत्वपूर्ण विषयों एवं जनहित के मुद्दों पर विस्तार से चर्चा की। विशेष रूप से चंडीगढ़ में संपत्तियों के प्रतिशत के आधार पर हस्तांतरण (Percentage-wise Property Transfer) में नागरिकों को आ रही समस्याओं और उससे जुड़े विषयों को उनके समक्ष रखा। मुझे विश्वास है कि श्री अमित शाह जी के मार्गदर्शन में इन मुद्दों के समाधान की दिशा में शीघ्र और सकारात्मक कदम उठाए जाएंगे, जिससे चंडीगढ़ के निवासियों को राहत मिल सकेगी। इस अवसर पर उन्होंने आगामी चंडीगढ़ नगर निगम चुनावों के लिए भी अपनी शुभकामनाएँ दीं। उनके मार्गदर्शन और शुभेच्छाओं के लिए हृदय से आभार।

This is deeply disturbing. This boy needs to be sent to an asylum. He is a threat to society and his parents need to be arrested immediately. Need to enact a law for delinquent juveniles and their parents @cmohry @NayabSainiBJP @PMOIndia @narendramodi @AmitShah

Very happy to note that someone is finally speaking out against this absurd law which violates the constitution and people’s fundamental right to property. No where else does this operate in the world and not even amongst UNESCO world heritage cities. There are two ways out of this :- 1. File a revision petition in the SC against the division bench order of the court where a larger bench will sit and examine the issue preferably under the CJI. 2. Expose the vested interests behind this judgement. 😉
They locked Chandigarh families out of their own homes. A cancer patient can’t sell her share to spend her last days with family. Nearly 3 years of a freeze the Supreme Court never ordered. ₹600 crore frozen. Lives on hold. Press meet tomorrow, 31 Oct, 11:30 AM at the Press Club. #PropertyRights #Chandigarh

Intelligent people live a quiet disciplined life. They go to bed at the same time. Wake up early. Eat simple. Go for long walks. Read rare books. Say no to things without feeling guilty. The world chases excitement. Not them. They chase calm. A calm routine. A quiet mind. A healthy body. Meaningful work. A small circle. A private life. Things that align with their soul, not a "trend". From the outside their life may look boring. But from the inside, they experience a kind of freedom most people spend their entire lives searching for.

The mighty Himalayas in the background provide the perfect setting for this sun soaked village 45 mins away from Shimla. This is an undiscovered gem. #IncredibleIndia😁
Absolutely breathtaking view of the mighty Kosi River in Supaul, Bihar, with the Himalayas painting the horizon. @TourismBiharGov must look beyond the Buddhist circuit and develop these hidden gems to put Bihar on the tourism map.

📢'I have a simple proposition in this essay. India’s toughest decade since the one that preceded its independence from colonial rule in 1947 is upon us. There is a very simple way to understand this. If this decade goes well, India will hit approximately $10 trillion (US dollars) in GDP and increase per capita income to $5-6,000. It will do this while expanding one of the largest militaries in the world with both nuclear weapons (a fully functional and growing triad), ability to conduct space warfare (anti-satellite capability) and with elite weaponry like supersonic and hypersonic missiles. Once this point is reached, India will become a near peer competitor of China and attain the ambition and goal of becoming a near peer competitor of the United States. No matter how many times it asserts and demonstrates its peaceful rise, at these levels of economic and military development, this would lead to the biggest reworking of the world order since at least the late 18th century. This gets more interesting in PPP (purchasing power parity terms)—by approximately 2040, give or take a couple of years, India and China together will clearly outweigh the US and Europe combined in purchasing-power terms. In market-dollar terms, India alone will be approaching the size of the eurozone’s core economies, though the West’s dollar lead will persist well beyond 2040.' LINK - sundayguardianlive.com/edito…

Finishing is a weak point of Indian infrastructure. The causes include a combination of untrained blue-collar biomass, thekedars looking to cut costs everywhere and a general Indian trait of not clearing surroundings after work.
One reason we have so much pollution is all this Dhool Mitti. How it is. How it should be

It will be done. Many people underestimate the power of compounding. 🙂
#WATCH | Berlin, Germany | Union Minister Piyush Goyal says, "We are going to be a developed country, a 30 trillion dollar economy by 2047, and we will achieve it... On AI, we have a lot of work happening. In India, we have even startups working on frontier technologies, LLMs... Probably the largest pool of talent in the IT sector is India. So we used and leveraged what they have done and became the supplier to the world of talent to use those things... Similarly, we are not worried in the the new-age world. We are going to absorb AI, quantum computing, and all of these new technologies. Are young boys and girls going to be the only guys available to do cybersecurity and data scrubs..."

Whole of Gurgaon needs to be handed over to DLF. Disband all municipal bodies, create a private body managed and lead fully by DLF with other Developers and RWAs as other stakeholders. No bureaucrat or Haryana govt should be allowed any participation.
One of the best things DLF has done for Gurgaon is build Golf Course Road. A 16-lane, signal-free road. Now imagine if the rest of Gurgaon had roads like this.
