After 21 years in TV, I found my second love - adventure travel! Love food and dogs. Hate routine. Allergic to morons.

Varthur “Road”. That’s a laugh! There’s no road at all. I put my car in 4x4 mode here - mountains are easier to navigate that this sad mess. Here’s an idea - put CM @DKShivakumar on his motorbike & challenge him to ride this strip (see? Not “road”!) & see if he survives the ride.
4 years ago we moved back from Sweden to India (Blr). We planned to survive Blr traffic stories by picking the school (Inventure) first & then closest housing society(PLH) near it.Had no idea that still this is how daily life will be @ndtv @krishnabgowda @blrcitytraffic #Varthur

Preeti Chaudhary has delivered one of the most graceful, fearless and devastating rebuttals to Kangana Ranaut’s deeply misogynistic remarks targeting an entire generation of young women.
Without trading insults or descending into theatrics, Preeti simply held up a mirror to Kangana. She made it unequivocally clear that an entire generation of young women cannot be dismissed through prejudice, stereotypes or sweeping labels. They deserve to be heard, not ridiculed for asking uncomfortable questions or refusing to conform.
Her closing observation was the knockout punch: If Kangana still has any doubts about Gen Z, she doesn’t need another monologue, she just needs to scroll through the comments under her own post.
Preeti’s message was crystal clear, fearless and impossible to miss. Whether Kangana has the maturity to reflect on that mirror (or she is actually too dumb) is something only she can answer.

THIS. India aims to receive 25 million foreign tourists by 2030. Between Jan to Aug '24, we were around 6.91 million only - btw, just for perspective, Thailand hit 30 million last year ('24) & aiming for 40 million foreign visitors in '25.
Let's clear the air first, then talk
India would save more years of life by solving air pollution than curing cancer.
Here's what you can do in polluted environments.

I was in India @airtelindia . At Bum La - the 15,500 feet pass between India and Tibet. I was NOT in China. Perhaps @MIB_India should be looking more closely at how India’s telcos recognise our borders. I want these charges reversed please.

Not silence. They’re busy talking…each party blaming the other. Each underling happily chucking mud at the other, while the rest of us gasp for air. Especially the ruling party, because they want to win the Delhi elections. They will rather let people die than do something.
We Indians must have really low self esteem , really low sense of hope and justice… that all over North India the air quality is so so so bad, year after year, and there’s no protests! Just silence.
The govt taxes us highly, on everything… and gives us no solutions to this problem. It doesn’t matter which party is in power, or who you support, your lungs don’t know the difference!
Older people, babies, animals all suffer. Adults have chronic cough, congestion. The festive season and onwards becomes scary for most, if not all. And the we do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING as we all slowly get poisoned.
That’s a sign of very, very poor self worth. Sad.

Dearest @IndiGo6E , pleasant flight thank you. But please, would you stop with these marketing campaigns that litter our oceans? You’ll chuck these by the end of the year and you would have printed thousands!

How many more school and work days will be lost because of the inefficiency of the Karnataka government - present & past? It’s not the rains that’s the problem. It’s the infrastructure!

Let’s not always blame the Indian tourist. Let’s also talk about operators that do this nonsense thinking they’re untouchable. Seriously @MahindraRise @anandmahindra , is this how you want to rise??
Over 10 vehicles were seized after an adventure drive organized by the official Mahindra team in Tiger Zone 8 of Ranthambore.
The forest department is now pursuing legal action against Mahindra Adventure officials.
It's alarming that such an event could occur under the watch of a respected company like Mahindra, especially in a sensitive wildlife area.
Disturbing the ecosystem and endangering wildlife for the sake of profit is not just disappointing—it's unacceptable.
Mahindra should be held accountable for this gross negligence.

I look at idiot journalists like this and think - dammit, I wasted 5 precious years of my life working with a news channel for this? This level of journalism? I want my 5 years back!
Listen to the most ludicrous, absurd question on @RahulGandhi’s clothes posed by a Noida channel to the father of a martyr and the response- “इस देश को एक नंगे फ़क़ीर ने आज़ादी दिला दी और गोल में वो धोती पहन के गये थे। वहाँ भी एक ड्रेस कोड था”

Actually I have a tangential question…how would you call 25+ cities in 11 days a holiday? With 2 kids! Sounds hugely stressful🤦♀️
3/3 Earlier, young teenagers going to school would stop and ask us where we were from. The “India” response would light up their face, a friendly chat would follow. This time, it was a shrug, eyeball rolls & a walk away. Never felt this animosity before.
2/3 - From the local money exchange refusing to exchange INR - earlier they would refuse higher denominations but this time we were dismissed without even a glance. It was puzzling.

Some of these schools are run by good solid people for over 3 decades now. People respected the world over for their skills. But so much easier to ban, shut down, terminate. Less work involved. Register, license, monitor…uff, too much work! Sad. tribuneindia.com/news/himach…
@TEDx @TEDchris seriously?? TEDx has come to this now? Did anyone vet this line up?Truly the nadir. I won’t be surprised if other speakers back off. @TaxilaJaipur are you so desperate for attention?

I was @ramonchibb’s boss at Nat Geo when he directed Mission Udaan back in 2005 bit.ly/MissionUdaan. Even then he was a perfectionist. @justSidAnand we are co-sufferers! The VFX guys who did the aerial action - u have my sympathies as well! It is so hard to satisfy Ramon!
Hearing from my sources that #Fighter is being loved by the IAF. They gave a standing ovation at the Chief’s screening. Bollywood finally gets it right! I am told that @Ramonchibb - one of the producers is an ex-army officer & son of an Airforce officer AND it is his story and screenplay. @Ramonchibb kudos for raising the bar on how our forces need to be shown! #Fighter
Kudos to @iHrithik and director @justSidAnand for giving credit where it is due! What a win for the industry – perfect mix of Bollywood and authentic IAF representation. My air force sources tell me the air action sequences are so real and now I learn that @Ramonchibb guided these. Kudos to all!
Seeing this for the first time. No air force/army friend has anything negative to say! @Ramonchibb, ex-fauji and son of an IAF officer, is credited with story, screenplay, producer and 2nd unit director!

It’s time Bollywood learnt from #FIGHTER success. The IAF buzz is that they love the detailing, the authenticity - you can’t get this right unless you have lived it yourself. A big film commercial director @justSidAnand and a specialist @Ramonchibb come together to make a winning team.
