The event is even more special for me as Asha for Education is chosen as one of the charity partners and I will be using this opportunity to raise funds for the various institutions supported by AfE. Join me at the Hyderabad Marathon 2025. (2/2) charity.nmdchyderabadmarathon.com/charityinfo/AS….
And when they goof up Income tax portal, GST portal, and bring in dubious technology like aadhaar, you know their true capabilities.
Speaking as someone who lived a past life within the fringes of India’s so-called IT industry - For decades, India’s IT sector wasn’t built on innovation - it was built on low-cost labour. We became the world’s back office: a dependable supplier of manpower, not ideas. A wet…
When you have the top-4 run scorers in rhe series and yet trail 2-1, you should know what's wrong with the team! Simple, it's not a team but a bunch of personalities. Suraj Randiv exposed this many years back and Stokes irked them even more. Not appreciating either of them.


My favourite bit from 21st stage of Tour de France. Another year!
🤩 Stunning moment from the Tour de France last stage. 🤩 Un moment magique de la dernière étape du Tour de France. #TDF2025
"This need not matter so much, or at least any more than, as Sanjay Manjrekar notes, the coach really does these days: India is blessed with such an abundance of talent and resources that the proverbial drover’s dog could probably do a half-decent job." cricketetal.com/p/the-saffron-…
What do you call a person who keeps doing the same thing expecting different results? Gautam Gambhir.
Unbelievable! First, how did other cyclists manage not to run over him? Second, the manner in which he got up and back on his bike!
Mauro Schmid goes down HARD on the descent 🤕
It is quite a sight to see so many people come out in the rain and cheer the cyclists. Then, @peeleraja would say that many Indians do the same to Kanwariyas and I don't appreciate it. 🤷
⚪🔴 Louis Barré takes two points at the Col de la Croix de la Serra, so it's official: @TamauPogi will be the polka dot jersey of the #TDF2025, provided, of course, that he finishes. ⚪🔴 Louis Barré passe en tête au col de la Croix de la Serra, c'est donc officiel : @TamauPogi…
Maturity is when you realise that Cricket is more than just numbers
Maturity is when you realise Vinod Kambli with average of 54.2 would have scored 17861 runs if he had played the same number of innings as Sachin. Politics ruined him.
I think this set the tone for current test match. You get them to visit a team that barely survived relgation, shipped tonnes of goals, far from their glory days, and no trophy! Losing mindset at its best!
An epic crossover 🔝 Indian Cricket Team 🤝🏻 Manchester United #TeamIndia | @ManUtd
To even think that we had a money order system, where you can send money through post office and post man in some remote corner would handover the money to the concerned person, sounds utopian when viewed through modern day system of identity cards and OTPs. Progress anyone?
Love him or loathe him; but don't ignore him. He doesn't have the ability to take things to a logical end but certainly has the courage to kindle new thinking and get people out of their bubbles. Best Wishes Andavare!
A new Chapter unfolds.
I think @Number10cat has stayed longer in 10 Downing Street and answered same number of questions as @narendramodi
Today, on 25th July 2025, Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi ji becomes India’s second longest-serving Prime Minister, completing an extraordinary 4,078 days of uninterrupted leadership. A defining chapter in Bharat’s democratic journey-scripted with vision, strengthened by service &…
Awesome!

Well written by Cian Ginty. If a country cannot provide the infrastructure for cycle as a transport, it is almost useless to invest in cycle racing. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
So, what were you doing at @NITIAayog? Rather what is Niti doing about all this?
The answer to job creation in India lies in the textiles and garments industry. It has the potential to add millions of manufacturing jobs. Globally, 70% of the textiles and garments market comprises of manmade fibres (MMF), and the rest 30% consists of cotton. However, in…
Why does the @IncomeTaxIndia website wants to be rated? and for what? Few days back, when I went for Passport Verification at Bellandur police station, the police personnel got offended because I refused to give feedback. What's wrong with these govt. organisations?

Very Good analysis. Mind you, all these analysis are valid only on 'good days'. Natural disaster, COVID, personal exigencies - they lose the entire money. Not to miss out other expenditure like temple festivals, domestic functions, political events, where they suffer more.
This is absolutely bonkers and can only be done by those who have no idea how these biz work. Will explain in detail b/c I have done credit modelling for this type of biz. 1. Most sellers are individual proprietors and have a single PAN. /1
OK. Just another IT employee who quit due to lack of on-site opportunities.
Former Vice-President #JagdeepDhankhar, in his 35-month-long tenure, travelled abroad only four times for bilateral visits, and his office often had complained to the Ministry of External Affairs over protocol issues, official sources told @suhasinih, @SobhanaNair…
Wait. On one side, this guy doesn't want those whom he think as "foreigners". Then, he launches a foreign language scheme to help Assamese become foreigners elsewhere. So, who should stay in Assam?
