Think of it as a promotional tweet, but-couldn't resist writing this. This saree that I am wearing, is a #handwoven saree, weaved by weavers from my home-town, #Yemmiganur . From the silk procured from karnataka, these sarees have a signature style of temple borders.

Even the cover of this book would have helped to solve a question in #UPSCPrelims2023 . If you think that only coaching materials or the conventional sources would help you, then you are wrong. Your hobbies, your observations, your interests in movies, books, too can aid you.

It would be ironic if the 'Har ghar Tiranga' campaign and the platinum jubilee celebrations of our Independence would not help the khadi industry in India. Khadi has been the symbol of Independence struggle. It's the best chance to revive this industry.

As a woman, seeing the clips where rape CONVICTS are felicitated and feted, it makes me feel sick, sad and depressed. How as a society we have failed to understand the trauma #BilkisBano and many like her had gone through? It is a reversal and undoing of her long struggle.

As a friend of mine rightly said, It needs a big heart to forgive someone and for retribution, one has to be heartless. It was Mandela, post-apartheid, who despite being jailed for 26 long years still called for peace and harmony among whites and non-whites.

Demise of K. Vishwanath Garu is so sad and is a big loss to the Telugu industry. His movies were revolutionary, touching upon socio-economic aspects, addressing caste and gender issues. Swatimutyam, Shankarabharam, sirivennala, Sagara sanghamam are few of my favourites.

This tweet is a special message to @iamsrk that I was asked to convey. Last month I had been to Bali. While exploring the Ubud market I met this shop vendor. While shopping she asked us where are we from. And I replied saying we are from India.

Iss mod se jaate hai... kuch susth kadam raste, kuch tez kadam raahe... #Mussoorie mornings and #Gulzar 's writings, what more can I ask for on this contemplative #weekend walk?!

I miss this tabloid format of @EconomicTimes magazine. It was a pleasant read on Sundays. I wish they revert back to this format.
