- This is not news anymore, but let me say it anyway 😊 After five and a half years at WION, I’m moving on. Still in transition and overwhelmed by all your messages and best wishes. Can’t wait to share details of the new project! 🙏🕉
- My remarks at the Oxford Union almost a yr ago have made their way across social media. I gave a perspective on what has changed in India, citing events & anecdotes to support my argument. I’m overwhelmed to see how it has resonated with so many of you.🙏 youtube.com/watch?v=yjFEYR…
- EVMs win, exit polls lose
- What a trailblazer! US DNI @TulsiGabbard exudes both warmth and power. Great meeting her at the @raisinadialogue. She’s the first Hindu member of the U.S. Congress and an old friend of India.
- “Philippine officers say they need more Brahmos missiles…After Op Sindoor, we contacted our counterparts in India, we wanted to know how they were used” Interviewed Philippine President @bongbongmarcos on @firstpost @PHinIndia @DFAPHL

00:00 - Tested positive for the Wuhan virus. Recovering & touched by all your messages. Without harbouring any illusions about one’s place in the larger scheme of things, it’s always good to know there are people who notice your absence and care. 🙏🙏
- Europe continues to buy 45% of its gas from Russia, even after the invasion. Germany: 55% of the natural gas, 52% of the coal & 34% of mineral oil used comes from Russia. But India must think about its place in history books if it buys Russian oil? The West’s hypocrisy stinks.Jen Psaki on if India accepts Russian oil at a reduced costs: "[T]hink about where you want to stand when the history books are written in this moment in time, and support for the Russian leadership is support for an invasion that obviously is having a devastating impact."

- China wins vote to stop UNHRC from debating Xinjiang genocide. Disappointing that India abstained. What’s worse, Islamic countries like Qatar, Pak & UAE which were so vocal about protecting the rights of Indian Muslims voted against a debate on the persecution of China’s Muslims.
