Fantastically poignant and heart wrenching eulogy. @ShashiTharoor outdoes his own writing standards. A must read about an essential topic.
The former Canadian ambassador to India, my friend David Malone, passed away on Monday – of his own volition. Medically-assisted termination of life is not legal in India, but it is in Canada, and David, suffering from cancer and Alzheimer’s, chose this route. My rumination on my…
Had the good fortune of bumping into a fantastic old profile of @Ram_Guha by @anitanairauthor. The wonders that the internet spits out these days. Generations from today, readers will be discussing Dr Guha's works on India, Gandhi, cricket, among others. anitanair.net/ramachandra-gu…
Life offered poetic justice for #AmolMazumdar, who never played for India but his skills and experience have played a key role for #WomenInBlue to achieve what they did today. Truly a #KabirKhan moment for him. Hope to see him achieve more success in cricket coaching. 🇮🇳
Absolutely fantastic analogy between Test cricket and life by the one and only @bhogleharsha. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. In life one has to be a @cheteshwar1 or #RahulDravid to succeed. Nothing can be truer. youtube.com/watch?v=4foVRW…

Harsha Bhogle on the Fear of Failure
Absolutely fantastic podcast by @ajinkyarahane88 and @cheteshwar1. Domestic cricket definitely deserves more recognition and security in a country like India where kids start playing in their teens. The point about post-cricket careers is super critical. @BCCI @BCCIdomestic
Cheteshwar Pujara and I sat down for an honest chat on Indian domestic cricket, its progress, challenges, and the road ahead. Watch the full conversation now on YouTube.
Many are directors, few are filmmakers but rare are filmmakers who touch on sensitive topics like war, gender, feudalism and inequality. #JPDutta is perhaps the only one who did this with his extensive body of work- Hathyar, Kshatriya and of course #Border. #HappyBirthdayJPDutta
Its poetic justice that the winning runs had to be of #HarisRauf after his filthy gesticulations in the last match. Well done #India. #AsiaCupFinal #asiacup2025final Salute to @TilakV9 @imkuldeep18 #ShivamDube and #SanjuSamson
Absolutely fantastic discussion between @saliltripathi and @suketumehta on the history of Gujaratis, will definitely be reading it and try to see my community from an intellectual lens. Thank you for hosting @Center4Fiction @JLFLitfest #JLFNYC
Cricket willbe proud to have an exponent like @cheteshwar1 who served the game like he did. The world might not see Test cricketers like this ever again. Gabba 2021 alone is a treatise in patience, grit and resilience. #PujaraRetires
Wearing the Indian jersey, singing the anthem, and trying my best each time I stepped on the field - it’s impossible to put into words what it truly meant. But as they say, all good things must come to an end, and with immense gratitude I have decided to retire from all forms of…
Cheteshwar Pujara retires: Why this era of Test batsmanship was Pujara’s as much as it was Virat Kohli’s indianexpress.com/article/sports…
As #Border completed 28 years a few days back, I decided to share my reflections and takeaways from watching the movie a gazillion times over the years. Do give it a read. #28yearsofBorder @RealNidhiDutta @iamsunnydeol @SunielVShetty @bindasbhidu theworldinastateofdk.substack.com/p/on-border-re…
The @TeachForIndia Fellowship changed my life. A decade back I met a few alumni and was moved by @shaheenmistri's work and movement. This podcast with @amitvarma is a great deep dive into the story that inspired thousands of us. It was long time coming. seenunseen.in/episodes/2025/…
Shattering to hear of the death of #ValKilmer. A generation grew up watching him in #TopGun. This scene hits harder now than ever. #RIPIceman youtube.com/watch?v=BA-1w0…

Top Gun: Maverick - Iceman Scene (HD. Full Scene)
Inspired by @Ram_Guha's odes in the past to Select and Premier bookshops in Bangalore, here is my attempt at paying tribute to a relatively unsung second-hand book store, The Book House at King's Circle, #Matunga in #Mumbai. theworldinastateofdk.substack.com/p/matunga-marg…
Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our city's legendary bookseller, KKS Murthy. A man of enormous charm and civility, his wonderful Select Bookshop sustained generations of readers in Bangalore and across India. He will be sorely missed. thehindu.com/news/national/…
I returned to reading in 2024. To kickstart 2025, please find my recommendations for the best five books I read last year, mainly non-fiction. Credits to @Ram_Guha, @pranaykotas, @husainhaqqani ,and @Itwitius for writing some of these great books. open.substack.com/pub/theworldin…
