Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive? Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members? Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now? This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.

🚨Crying for sleep: A working Women's breakdown exposes Navi Mumbai's power crisis. A heartbreaking video of a working woman from Sector 8, Ulwe Navi Mumbai is going viral. She returns from work at 11 PM and leaves again at 6 AM, but has to spend those crucial resting hours without power until 4-5 AM! Continuous power cuts for a week have completely ruined her sleep and health. This isn’t just her story thousands of residents in Ulwe and Taloja are enduring this daily nightmare in this intense heat.

Welcome to Mumbai’s newest flyover worth ₹248 crore. At 750 metres of road, that’s ₹33 lakh a metre. And it opened this week full of potholes. The flyover is named after the iconic Mrinal Tai Gore, who spent her whole life fighting so ordinary Mumbaikars got a life of dignity. After seven years, three cost revisions, and a daily penalty on the contractor - this is all they could come up with to honour her? But kya karein. This is the standard now under the triple-engine sarkar. Cut the ribbon. Click the photo. Leave the potholes for us. Bajao taali.
Mrunal Tai Gore flyover extension opened up for motorists hour an hour back.

Really sad to discover that Ashmick's Snack Shack in Bandra has shut down and there is a new Bōkka outlet that has taken that place. Bōkka and Boojee can be in Kala Ghoda or Indiranagar or Lodhi Colony but Snack Shack was sooo Bandra. Another Parsi food gem gone :(

🚨HOLY SMOKES: Trump spent weeks calling on Iranians to rise up and overthrow their government. They didn’t. Instead 8 million Americans rose up against his. In 3,000 cities. On the same day. The regime change he wanted happened in the wrong country’s streets. Iran’s Foreign Minister said the people being killed are dying because Trump wants to have fun. 8 million Americans said they’re not having fun. Philadelphia. Atlanta. Dallas. DC. San Francisco. New York. London. Tel Aviv. Scotland. San Diego. The uprising came home.

His name is Vishnu Tiwari. In 2000 a neighbour accused him of rape after a land dispute. He was 23 years old. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2003. His appeal filed from jail in 2005 was marked defective and ignored for 16 years. During those 20 years his father died. His mother died. His two brothers died. He was denied parole to attend a single funeral. The family sold their land and buffaloes to pay legal costs. In January 2021 the Allahabad High Court acquitted him. Zero medical evidence of rape. The complainant’s motive was a land dispute. He walked out of Agra Central Jail with Rs 600. He was 43 years old. His first question to the world was: How do I start life at 43?

Another minor, speeding in a car, takes a life in Mumbai. A 42-year-old cyclist, out on his very first day of cycling to get fitter, is k!lled by a minor(17-year-old) driving at high speed. And now? Another “essay” will likely be written.

Walking outside is not safe at all. Cycling on public roads without a separate track is dangerous as well.

Allowing 45,675 mangrove trees to be cut or transplanted for Mumbai’s Versova–Bhayander Coastal Road project is deeply alarming. Mangroves are not just trees—they are a natural shield for coastal cities, protecting millions of people from floods, cyclones, and coastal erosion. Scientific studies show that mangroves can absorb 3–5 times more carbon than tropical rainforests and support rich biodiversity. Destroying such a critical ecosystem in the name of development poses a serious threat to the future. Mumbai doesn’t just need more roads—it needs sustainable and environmentally responsible planning. #SaveMangroves #SaveMumbai 🌱🌊
