The most crucial aspect of Modi-era governance is the operating relationship between citizen, state, and opportunity, and the mindset change it drives. It is an underexplored dynamic I have written on since 2012. My latest on the shift, and why it matters for #ViksitBharat2047.

"An RPG (Rocket-Propelled Grenade), an anti-tank missile launcher"
Next time you-know-who ends up being stuck on an elevated infra in the state, don't stay there; turn around and get out asap.
#WATCH | Amritsar, Punjab: Border Range IG Gurpreet Singh Bhullar says, "An RPG (Rocket-Propelled Grenade), an anti-tank missile launcher of NATO 22 configuration, has been recovered. In addition, the recoveries include over 7 kg of heroin, approximately 2.5 kg of methamphetamine (ice), 5 kg of opium and two Glock pistols. I believe the recovery of the RPG during the festival season is an important preventive achievement. One accused, identified as Gurkirpal Singh, has been arrested. His second associate, who is a juvenile, has also been apprehended. In the drug-related case, an accused named Balkar Singh has emerged as a key figure during questioning. He has been involved in smuggling activities for a long time. His agricultural fields are located right along the Indo-Pakistan border. He allegedly recruited young boys, particularly juveniles, by luring them with money and repeatedly used them to collect drugs and other consignments. An important aspect of this recovery is that a GPS tracker device has also been recovered. Our interrogation and investigation indicate that such devices are used to track consignments, particularly across large agricultural fields, and identify their exact locations. This is also the first time we have recovered such a tracking device. We are investigating this aspect as well as analysing the drones that have been seized...Some names have emerged during the investigation, and we are working on those leads. Whether they are Pakistan-based smugglers or PIOs, we will definitely pursue these angles as the investigation progresses."
Oh god. Hope no casualties.

Currently generating enough static electricity to light up the neighbourhood. All usual reasons ruled out. I am just in Thor mode.
"India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters."
In that broader national spirit, and notwithstanding those boys who went silent on the second part,
Happy Bhai Dooj to everyone.

World Bank Global Director for Water Saroj Kumar Jha describes India’s water management initiatives as a remarkable success story and a model for developing countries.
He highlights the achievements of Jal Jeevan Mission, Namami Gange and Swachh Bharat Mission, noting that Jal Jeevan Mission has provided improved drinking water access to 800 million people in less than seven years.
He urges India to share its experiences at the 2026 UN Water Conference in Abu Dhabi from December 8 to 10.

I expect him to send me thank you coffee. And I expect you to not show up on my mentions again.
Replying to @semubhatt @narendramodi
He has done everything right in last 12 years and at a superhuman speed as well as scale. I don’t know what more you guys are expecting him to do

On immigration, Trump softens the rhetoric & flags a group of people on the pretty far right that wants everyone taken out.
Never mind that he just made one of those 'far right' people his chief of staff.

In Gujarat, kids would come in the morning with their smiling faces, shouting 'sabras'. Luckily, we have a grocery shop nearby. Bought salt - traditionally, that's the first 'shakan' buying we do on the new year.

Much before bbdailys & swiggys arrived, Gujju kids had learnt to provide home delivery service. On new year morning, they go to houses selling a handful of salt for a few bucks. Gujju Hindus buy it as good luck. Quick, easy money to start new year with.😊

As I get older, my memory may mess up details about the incident. It may already have somewhat. But that feeling is like it had happened last night.
Treat your daughters as princesses, dads. They will remember it forever. :)
