please repeat after me, the state is ‘Karnatakaa’ and the language is ‘Kannadaa’ and we are ‘Kannadigas’ - NOT Karnatak, kannad and def not kanads! You’d think people would learn to pronounce a name by now. 😏

is a visual and musical treat. It feels like a longer music video — easy to watch and get sucked into this magical world of music. The songs are not just in the background but take on a bigger role and become characters in the film…🧵

When a footballer or tennis player gets emotional on the field - it’s fine but not when a leading scientist does the same? The emotions are the same - why such negativity? We need to move away from the stigma around crying. It’s healthy - man or woman.
I was expecting better temperament from the

chairman. Failures happen and are stepping stones for the success ahead. ISRO's achievements and efforts are applauded by the entire world. A man of his stature crying like a baby because of shortfalls looks idiotic to me.
A big thank you to all the friends/ partners across news, sports, entertainment and government — it was inspiring, rewarding and fun working with you all. Across so many media and production houses and diverse languages from Hindi to Tamil to Telugu and of course English.💙
Absolutely shameful that Delhi Police detained

who was doing her work as a journalist and then asked her to leave at 1.40 am without any protection on the streets. Where’s the “with you, for you, always!” slogan now?!
#JournalismIsNotACrime
This should be the theme of 2018 - Indian women should be celebrated for their individualism and not compared to their male counterparts to praise them. So no more she's the female SRKs, Sachins or whoever is the political equivalent pls

scene you’ll ever see: A Pakistani contestant presented a take-away box of Biryani as she said the rules didn’t say you have to cook it - it just said to bring the best dish. 😬
Amazing! While the Ukrainian President Zelensky got a standing ovation from the European Parliament, Russian foreign minister Lavrov's speech at the UN was met with a walk out from diplomats.
People from Delhi and surrounding states rush to the hills as COVID-19 lockdown rules are eased - they can afford it as things are cheap at the moment but this puts locals in Shimla, Kufri etc at risk of the third wave
Well it’s official, my time at Twitter is over and today was my last day. Twitter 1.0 was an amazing place to start my adventure in tech after many years of journalism with the BBC.
If someone as powerful as Priyanka Gandhi despite her Z+ security can get grabbed like this — what protection do regular women have against UP police? More power to all those women journalists out there getting us the story that matters most.
*A man bought a passport sleeve online & returned it but forgot to take his passport out of it
* It gets crazier: Someone else ordered it & Amazon sent him the sleeve with the passport in it
* He complains & Amazon do nothing
* Thankfully, the second guy traces the owner! 🤯
Can’t believe it has already been 3 years at Twitter 🙌🏽 That went quickly! Proud to work with inspiring and thoughtful colleagues across so many countries. P.s. love my wfh block!
To all my Indian followers. There's a young Indian woman, alone stuck in Kyiv. Does anyone have contacts with the Indian Embassy or Indians that can help? She's not familiar with Ukrainian. We've left Kyiv already with 26-28 people & can't make it back
