Congratulations, @narendramodi You have been a source of inspiration to millions, including me. I pray that India continues to rise as Bharat under your visionary leadership. Your friendship has been a defining turning point in my life, inspiring me to dedicate myself to the service of Bharat Mata and contribute, in my own way, to the nation-building journey you have championed. Being called โ€œYour Friend from Goaโ€ by you is a privilege and an honour I will always cherish. I remain proud, grateful, and committed to the ideals of a stronger, self-confident, and resurgent Bharat. Jai Hind. Bharat Mata Ki Jai.

Smart added to public service is a camouflage to the dumbness of the public service elected representatives.

Different PNR
Curious to know if you needed to change airport in Istanbul? Or your ticket was on different PNR from Istanbul? Unless that's the case, you don't need a transit visa.

Every time I attempt to give @IndiGo6E a chance, they disappoint me. Had someone in Goa informed me that I required a transit visa to change flights in Istanbul, I would never have boarded my flight to Mumbai in the first place. Instead, at the Mumbai boarding gate at 3:00 AM, I was informed that I could not board because I would not be allowed to take my onward flight from Istanbul to Sochi, Russia. Fair enough, I said - I would book an alternative route. What followed was a masterclass in inefficiency. I then had to wait until 4:15 AM, when the flight finally departed, for my checked baggage to be offloaded. After clearing immigration and explaining the situation to CISF officials, I exited the terminal only to find myself waiting another two and a half hours for my bag to be released through customs and security procedures. I left Goa at 12:05 AM. By the time I finally have my baggage in hand, it will be close to 6:45 AM in Mumbai. A problem that should have been identified before departure from Goa has now cost me an entire night, a missed journey, and nearly seven hours of unnecessary inconvenience. Better passenger verification at the point of origin would have prevented this avoidable mess. What is most disappointing is the complete lack of concern for the passenger. I specifically advised the organisers to book me on an Indian airline rather than a foreign carrier, believing it would provide a smoother experience. Instead, this has been one of the most frustrating travel experiences I have encountered. I have been travelling since I was six months old and have spent a lifetime navigating airports across the world. Mistakes happen. But failing to identify a basic documentation issue before departure, and then leaving a passenger stranded for hours to recover his baggage, is simply unacceptable. @RamMNK

Manipur will soon see Meitei, Kuki and Naga communities in a violent conflict that is being engineered to keep the state unstable. Instability is the strategy to attack economic development and growth to keep dependency on narcotics, human trafficking and precious metals illegal trade.

Heaven for Christians, Jannat for Muslims and Swarg for Hindus. I am confident Mr Pai you and I will meet at cafรฉ near the pearly gates and enjoy some nice Goan fish curry rice with Kokum Soda. Letโ€™s the others fight for what name to call it.
Thanks Holy Father This is very kind but tell us will non Christians also go to Heaven or is Heaven reserved for only baptized Christians? @Pontifex

A little birdie tells me that a prominent leader from Goa will be moving to Delhi. I told him birdies always chirp about probabilities but in BJP nothing is confirmed unless it is officially announced. So go chirp somewhere else.

A CM and an aspiring CM in a BJP-governed state have both hired the same PR & Social Media Agency with army of social media soldiers to operate their covert operations from the national capital to target each other, while sometimes appearing to be โ€˜Brothers in Armsโ€™. The PR and Social Media Agency is making hay while the sun shines on the current status of the sibling rivalry among these two state leaders.

Itโ€™s my personal opinion that Tamil Nadu BJP needs a young face to lead with an experienced backbone to guide.
