States and nation, castes and religion, cultures and civilisation: India is a Venn diagram, not a jigsaw puzzle. If an ideology cannot decipher India, then the flaws and limitations lie in the ideology, not in India. India lives by its own rules.

The untold stories of the emergency must be told to the country. The cabal that keeps on screaming about the death of democracy is precisely the one, which never wanted India to be a functional democracy.

During heavy rains, when people zoom about at 130/140 kmph with their hazard lights on, I guess the only thing they indicate is that they are a hazard. #MumbaiPune #expresshighway #MumbaiRains

I always find ideologies to be a U-shaped curve. The extremists on both the Left and the Right are closer to each other than the centrists. They both also share a similar disdain for objective reality and the way it works.

The people who were adults in 1947 would be overjoyed to see where this country has reached today. For the thousands of things to complain for and spew vitriol for, there are millions to celebrate and cherish. #HappyIndependenceDay #IndiaAt76

India's strategic advantage of being a huge market shows in the content economy, too. 100s of creators, from Pakistan to Canada and from Africa to Australia, are creating India-centric content for YouTube views and engagements. In doing so, they are taking India's story to

A lot of movements, changes, and paradigm-shifting ideas begin as a whisper. The whisper turns into a murmur. Murmer becomes conversations. And when conversations catch fire, they turn into popular discourse. That's what we are trying at @Bharatvidya_in with @BhandarkarI .

Sports have a unique power to inspire people, to uplift them. Sri Lanka needed a win, the nation needed it.
