Only Mr. @ShashiTharoor can make our every day humble Idli sound like a very exotic delectable aspirational dish 😅
Indeed! To conflate a Rasgulla with an Idli is not just a culinary error; it is a profound cosmological misunderstanding.
To begin with, the comparison is practically a biological impossibility. She is comparing chhena (the delicate, squeaky, pristine curd of milk) with a meticulously fermented batter of parboiled rice and black gram (urad dal). Their compositions are from entirely different kingdoms. One is an airy, spongy lattice designed to trap light sugar syrup; the other is a dense, wholesome, steamed matrix of complex carbohydrates and proteins. Their taste, consistency, structural integrity, and existential purpose share absolutely nothing in common.
But more important, her attempt to dismiss the Idli as merely a blank canvas for sugar syrup does a grave disservice to what is arguably one of the greatest engineering marvels of the culinary world.
The Idli is not a mere "bland cake." It is a masterclass in biotechnology. To achieve the perfect Idli is to balance the delicate microflora of wild fermentation over a cold night, resulting in a steamed cloud that is a triumph of gut health, lightness, and nutritional balance. It is a savoury monolith of South Indian culinary genius, perfectly engineered to absorb the sharp tang of a well-spiced sambar or the fiery depth of a molaga-podi (gunpowder) paste infused with cold-pressed sesame oil or nutritious melted ghee.
To suggest an Idli would even consent to being drowned in sugar syrup is to fundamentally misunderstand its dignity.
If this lady finds Rasgullas overrated, argue that on the merits of their sponginess or sweetness. But please, leave the noble, perfectly fermented, steamed majesty of the Idli out of your dessert-table polemics, ma'am!
May Maroof Ji Rest in peace. India lost a brave officer and defence expert.
Heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Raza and children. Lost a respectful neighbour whom we looked upto. A gentleman, always walking straight with such strong strides even when battling serious health issues.🙏🏼

@mesmerisingmegh Request a campaign on importance of rear seat belts. Few family members from Hyd and I visited Shillong. It is indeed mesmerising. Taxi drivers are very courteous n drive safely. But none, including new Taxis, have seat belts in rear seats.
@mesmerisingmegh Driving from Guwahati airport on the hilly stretch, without seat belt, feels very unsafe.
Industry expects “boring, predictable & stable” n most importantly “enforceable contracts”
Below is a good read on what Industry expects to make long term investments

Raffaele Savi of @BlackRock in @EconomicTimes “underscored the need to combine systematic models with expert judgement. Enable AI-driven investing to adapt to both regular market patterns n rare structural shifts” Calls out risk of “over-learning n assuming too much”
In a AI driven world human judgement remains essential in financial services during big structural shifts. @_DialogueIndia and I elaborated in detail on ‘Human Autonomy and determination’ being a core principle of Trustworthy AI.

TauDevi Lal Park Gurgaon. Walking in lazily at 7:30 saw a young girl running with Full focus n concentration. Heading out at 9 am, saw the girl unlocking her cycle. Asked how many KM she ran n her age. She was 17 n ran 15 KM. She was riding back home alone on a rather busy road.

In the dead of night, a five-month-old pup named Rocky did what no warning system could.
It was past midnight on June 26 in Himachal’s Mandi, when the ground beneath Siyathi village was quietly giving way. Rain lashed relentlessly. Families slept, unaware of the disaster creeping toward them.
But one tiny heart was wide awake.
Rocky, began barking and howling in a way his owner had never heard before. It was strange, urgent, desperate. His owner Lalit Kumar rushed down and found a massive crack in the wall with water pouring in.
“I was woken by my dog’s strange barking, as if he was trying to warn me,” Lalit told India Today. “When I reached him, I saw a huge crack in the wall and water pouring in.”
Lalit picked Rocky up and ran. Not to escape, but to wake others. He went door to door, shouting, banging, urging every neighbour to leave. And within minutes, 63 people fled their homes and ran to safety.
Moments later, a massive landslide hit. Nearly a dozen homes were buried under mud and debris. Only four or five structures remained visible.But not a single life was lost.
After helping save an entire village, Rocky himself got stuck and had to be rescued. He was found later, muddy, shaken, but alive.
They say not all heroes wear capes. Some come with fur and four paws.

When American Foreign n Eco’c policy is stressing you out,better to go back to American poets,mostly 16th to 18th century. Trust me, they can calm you down like no pulp fiction can ever. Pity this anthology published in 2024,doesn’t have a single poet of 19 or 20th century

“Nations have no permanent allies only permanent interests”
Mr Henry Kissinger once declared “America has no permanent friends or enemies only interests”. An age old statement
