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. #WaterManagement #JalJeevanMission #UNWaterConference

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.😊 teapawt.net/semubhatt/status/15851…

Sometimes I wish we had made videos of those days. Not just the crackers, but the variety of sweets & snacks, dozens of ppl visiting us & we visiting their homes, puja,...the joy & warmth that the festival brought. But then, we didn't know Diwali would ever feel any different.

Unlike WhatsApp messages & calls that we do now to wish, relatives, friends, neighbours, even acquaintances would visit homes on new year, and days after it, sometimes stretching till Dev Diwali. It was considered rude to not go & wish in person if in same town.

Did any Gujju make suvali? It was one of the Diwali items that always featured at my parents' house. Those days, ppl shared snacks too, not just sweets, with family/friends. Our cook would make many kgs of mathiya, chorafali, suvali, chivda, bundi, ghooghra, among other things.

That’s the issue for long time. I have @GeminiApp notebook that has many sources on true Swastika and historical records where Hitler called it Hakenkreuz. When I ask it to generate an infographic or image, it refuses.
Happy Diwali, @sundarpichai. May the festival of lights bring some light to Google's understanding of the Swastika.

“It’s ugly. Anger against H-1Bs — always present — has burst into the open. Trump’s top political and immigration adviser, Stephen Miller, is leading the charge — there’s little political price to pay for denigrating Indians.” 2/2

Two kali chaudas things that I learnt as a kid: a) Eating galka bhajiya makes you a king/queen; b) chudails dance at midnight. I know that a) is wrong. So I stopped eating galka bhajiya. b) is wrong too, I guess, but I still get a bit scared at kali chaudas midnight.

You can’t dictate how a majority community should celebrate their major festival and then expect people to respect the ridiculous restrictions imposed by you.

The words worth noting here for me: "a framework for an Interim Trade Agreement" A letter of intent mimicking a MoU that got India instant breather from high tariff by selling intent at a time Trump needs to show a 'big win' amidst the Epstein scandal. Well done :) +
Great news for India and USA! We have agreed on a framework for an Interim Trade Agreement between our two great nations. I thank President Trump for his personal commitment to robust ties between our countries. This framework reflects the growing depth, trust and dynamism of our partnership. It strengthens ‘Make in India’ by opening new opportunities for India’s hardworking farmers, entrepreneurs, MSMEs, StartUp innovators, fishermen and more. It will generate large-scale employment for women and youngsters. India and the United States share a commitment to promoting innovation and this framework will further deepen investment and technology partnerships between us. This framework will also strengthen resilient and trusted supply chains and contribute to global growth. As India moves forward towards building a Viksit Bharat, we remain committed to building global partnerships that are future-oriented, empower our people and contribute to shared prosperity. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump

Most importantly, remember that this isn't going to be TACO. This is going to be FAFO for Trump, who has made the mistake of messing with Destiny's Child NaMo. teapawt.net/semubhatt/status/19505…
Remember That the US is nobody's friend. That the US has Indian blood on its hands, directly & indirectly. That India has survived many WH bullies; Trump is a lesser evil in comparison. That the US imports LEU from Russia. That Trump is a fake credit taker. @POTUS @SecRubio

If he continues to mess with the Destiny's Child, Trump will be doing a lot of losing. teapawt.net/krassenstein/status/19…
BREAKING: In a second ruling in under 18 hours Judge Contreras has just struck down Trump’s tariffs, ruling them unlawful. This is a separate federal injunction issued in D.C.—completely independent from the trade court’s block yesterday. Trump keeps LOSING!

Messing with the Destiny's Child is never a good idea. Trump can either stop, or learn the hard way. teapawt.net/semubhatt/status/19223…
If Trump thinks he is getting on @narendramodi 's nerves with this, he is wrong. NaMo doesn't get affected by abuses, insults, challenges, or juvenile behaviour. But a lot of Indians are really getting pissed with this nonsense.
