So here are all my books, a couple of them on the Juggernaut app, so not in this link. But do check them out, and I do hope you read some. You can pick from humour, chicklit, romance, horror, thriller, parenting.
Why are so many kids going abroad for their education, from the undergraduate level to professional qualifications. Perhaps we need some introspection as to what is broken in our education system first.
Uddhav Thackeray has been a good CM. He's been sensible, practical, understated, addressed citizens regularly without hectoring them or talking down to them unlike some others. I honestly can't think of anyone else who could do a better job amongst the current lot of contenders.
A 16 year old boy tries to break into a bank because he needed to buy a mobile to attend online classes. His family couldn't afford one. These are the stories that break your heart.
An appeal to restaurant owners, managers.
We middle aged folk cannot make conversation over the incessantly loud music you insist on playing. If your restaurant is meant only for a younger demographic that enjoys such loud music even with meals, please state that right up front.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Chennai: For

, I didn't carry a suitcase. We aren't a suitcase-carrying govt as suitcase also denotes something else, suitcase-taking, suitcase-giving. Modi ji’s govt is not suitcase govt.
A 12 year old killed by seniors in a boarding school in Dehradun. School quietly buries body without informing parents. Is there no humanity left anymore in this world?
Very surprised to see
@priyankac19
not get a ticket to contest after the stellar work she's been doing for the past decade for the party and a newbie being taken in purely on perceived star value.

needs to walk the talk.
“It’s a public health emergency in Delhi. I am seeing 28-year-old non-smokers with stage 4 lung cancer. I am very angry because I am losing young patients to air pollution.” Dr Arvind Kumar, chest surgeon, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital
We don't need statues. I'd rather we built libraries. Huge sprawling libraries. Where everyone could go, spend the entire day, browse, read. Those would be monuments to live by. Those would be monuments to leave behind for our children.
School in Bangalore has LKG test with kids needing to learn the spelling of Hippopotamus and Cauliflower. And a hall ticket for the kids to take the test. We're getting beyond ridiculous.
What I love about this:
That the President of the US is doing one on one interviews.
The journalist knows his numbers, is grilling him, totally not intimidated. That disbelieving foot twitch, the expressions. As it should be.
And this is something we have long left behind.
Vivek Oberoi: People are saying apologise, I have no problem in apologising, but tell me what wrong have I done? If I have done something wrong I will apologise. I don't think I have done anything wrong. What's wrong in it? Somebody tweeted a meme and I laughed at it.
And it continues. Policing what women wear. Fully covered in trousers and long sleeved tops but folks frothing at the mouth that they aren't wearing 'serious' clothes for Parliament. a) No one asked you. and b) No one asked you.
The boy makes me so, so proud. Not putting up percentages because that's not something I believe in, but trust me, he went beyond my wildest, wildest expectations.
“It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'Try to be a little kinder.”

Interesting that when Udit Raj shifts parties, despite being a MP, there's barely a flutter but when
@priyankac19
joined the SS there was an entire tsunami of "how dare she." And then they called her inconsequential.
A fight has broken out at the street corner below.
Am delighted to report they are maintaining social distancing and yelling threats at each other from respectable distance.
Nobody is against the Metro.
Folks are against trees being hacked down in Aarey for the Metro Car shed.
That's all.
Why has it become into people are against the Metro?
He turns 18 today. I'm not allowed to post any pic except the ones from his insta. Happy birthday to the offspring. As I wrote in a dedication to him in Karmickids, the sprog of my womb, the sparkle in my eye, the tenor in my yell, the grey in my hair, and the beat of my heart.
Horrific videos from a preschool in Kandivali West. Received via WhatsApp. There are more videos. Just look at how these teachers are treating the children.
Hello twitter, my brother in law, an ex army veteran of 22 years, part of Operation Bajrang, Operation Rhino and fought the Kargil War Operation Vijay, 7 years experience in security and transport, ex-national level swimmer is looking for a placement. Any leads would be welcome.
Must say,
@iamsrk
proves he is the boss. Haven’t seen such love for a movie across the board for yonks! I can’t even remember the last time folks spoke about first day first show!
Dear people of India. Does it not worry you that a man who claims Darwin's theory is wrong because 'ancestors' didn't see apes turning into man is in charge of education and human resources?
It is rather embarrassing when we rush to claim someone who has long been not from India as one of our own when they achieve something on international shores. They're citizens of another country. They're born and brought up there. We have enough folks to celebrate right here.
Four hours for a national lock down. Two days for a stand in the balcony and clap hands.
Two days for put your lights off and light candle.
Stop infantilising the citizenry.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today held an extensive interaction with business leaders to discuss ways to improve growth and job creation in the country.
Koffee with Karan is our periodic reminder that Shah Rukh is the only film star we have who can be witty, sardonic and philosophical all within the span of a single conversation, and everyone else is just water in comparison.

What is the problem with this photograph? She's won an election, she's attending Parliament, she's happy about it. It is absolutely superb.
Just exactly what is threatening so many grown ups about Greta Thunberg? That she is demanding the right to have a livable planet when she becomes a grown up herself, something we grown ups have completely ruined for her and her generation?
We have forgotten as a nation, the agony and despair of April 2021. Of our collective helplessness, how loved ones passed away, how bodies were dumped into rivers, burnt on the footpaths. We have forgotten. And we have not asked for accountability.
