The future of technology appears to be bright. Marked by the first ever political metaverse gathering to commemorate #EarthDay, held by @Abris_io. Here I am performing a final check prior to the start of the event.

A UN Women bond renewed on Indian soil. It was a real pleasure to welcome Shoko Ishikawa, the new Head of @unwomenindia, to my residence, along with @kantasingh_, Deputy Country Representative, UN Women India. Shoko and I go back to our UN Women days, when she was a valued colleague in the Regional Office during my tenure with the organisation. It was heart-warming to reconnect — not only as former colleagues, but as members of the same UN Women family, bound by a shared commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment. As she begins this important assignment in India, I wish her every success in advancing the mandate of UN Women in a country where Nari Shakti is at the heart of transformative change, inclusive development and the journey towards Viksit Bharat. A warm welcome to India, Shoko — and every good wish for a meaningful and impactful tenure.

@prisocent writes that #Dhurandhar is storytelling at its most fearless. As she rightly pointed out ; the movie is lesson in cultural diplomacy, narrative confidence, and the growing influence of cinema as a force that shapes perception, dialogue, and identity across borders. Do read.

#WATCH | मोहब्बतगंज की Dollu, जिसे सब ‘Della Bella’ कहते हैं, अब अपनी कहानी खुद लिखने निकली है, उसमें सवाल करने की ताकत, अपनी पहचान बनाने की चाह और बंदिशों को तोड़ने का हौसला भी है। देखिए फ़िल्म 'Della Bella Badlegi Kahaani' 17 मई, रविवार, रात 10:30 बजे, सिर्फ डीडी नेशनल पर। @singer_shaan @swatisharmalive @Iamkavitak @mudassarkhan1 @kingaliasgar @iamseepijha @govvindnamdev @samtavsaxena @Actor_Lokesh_M @akhilendramishr @hamsika_iyer @SangeetDesi @AashimaVardhanJ @SanyaNeeleshJ @WAVES_OTT @NeeleshNKJ #DellaBellaBadlegiKahaani #DeshkaPehlaChannelDeshkaApnaChannel

Thank you so much Honorable @lakshmiunwomen ji for your kind words and support. Such encouragement from a distinguished global leader like you only strengthens my belief in the power of cinema as a medium for cultural dialogue, impact, and narrative ownership.
As Cannes opened its global stage this week, this powerful piece by @prisocent feels both timely and important. She is a visionary polymath working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cultural diplomacy and cinema — and the pioneer of the “Impact Advisor” credit title in Indian cinema. In her article on Dhurandhar, she captures the film not merely as entertainment, but as “a defining cinematic moment where storytelling, identity, and global influence converge.” Her central insight is striking: #Dhurandhar is “more than a box office success. It is a cinematic statement.” At a time when cinema increasingly shapes perception, memory and identity across borders, Priya reminds us that: “Movies travel faster than political debates.” And perhaps most powerfully, she underlines how Dhurandhar represents a new narrative confidence — a film that “doesn’t explain itself through someone else’s lens.” This is cinema as cultural diplomacy. Cinema as narrative ownership. Cinema as India speaking to the world in its own voice. Compliments to @AdityaDharFilms and the entire creative team for backing a film of such scale, conviction and fearless storytelling. “This is storytelling at its most fearless.”

Some dreams arrive quietly — after travelling across years, continents and memories. In my New York days, I would often wander through Barnes & Noble, thinking to myself: one day, perhaps my own book will sit here too. To now see Swallowing the Sun being platformed by this iconic bookstore feels deeply special. A full-circle moment. Gratifying, humbling — and a reminder that stories born from one’s roots can travel far beyond imagined. @BNBuzz @PippaRannBooks
And yet another stunning record for @lakshmiunwomen : her book is now @BNBuzz barnesandnoble.com/w/swallow…

@IndiainNewYork organised a screening of Humans in the Loop, a work of contemporary cinema that engages thoughtfully with issues of technology, ethics, and human experience, while reflecting the evolving contours of Indian storytelling. The screening was followed by an insightful Q&A session with the film’s director, Mr. Aranya Sahay. @MEAIndia @nfdcindia @iccr_hq @IndianDiplomacy

Reflections from #CSW70. Grateful to be among extraordinary women leaders across sectors. These aren’t just conversations they drive action. In rapidly changing world, every woman and girl must have identity, opportunity and a voice not just to be included, but to lead. #impact

On International Women’s Day I celebrate every woman who lights the path for herself and others. Being a woman isn’t about perfection it’s about resilience, rising again with grace, humor, love, & stubborn hope. We were never meant to just follow the light. We were meant to be it

The Seemingly Impossible Becomes Possible. Congratulations to all the phenomenal women and trailblazers honoured at the Femina Achievers Awards 2026 — changemakers, innovators, creators and courageous voices redefining success in their own distinctive ways. It was a pleasure to present an award alongside the gracious and accomplished @Rakulpreet Singh, whose poise and purpose reflect the confidence of a new generation of Indian women. This year’s awardees embody excellence across fields — from culinary creativity and digital influence to classical music, dance and fashion innovation; from neonatal healthcare and para-sporting glory to constitutional advocacy, entrepreneurship and global communications leadership. Each represents what Toni Morrison called “phenomenal women” — and what Muktabai envisioned as those who dare to swallow the Sun. For me, Femina has always been more than a magazine — a lifelong friend, philosopher and guide. From my years in diplomacy and at the United Nations, across continents, it remained a constant reminder that women’s stories shape movements and redefine possibility. As I said in my remarks, storytelling and role models build a new normal for gender equality — where women recognise their own strength and dominion. “Am I not complete and auspicious… I well know my own strength, my own dominion.” #FeminaAchieversAwards2026 @FeminaIndia @Shiveshbhatia @DrRadhikaBatra #MeetaPandit #VibhutiArora #SimranSharma #ManjariChaturvedi #RaghaviShukla #RimzimDadu @dollysingh @NitibhaKaul #DeveekaNijhawan

Where threads become testimony, and tradition becomes timeless. I am delighted to be in conversation with @ambreen06615259 Khan at the 14th Delhi Literature Festival on my book The Sari Eternal: A Tribute. The sari, for me, is not merely attire — it is memory, movement, identity and imagination woven into six yards of civilisational continuity. In this intimate dialogue, we shall explore how the sari travels through history, epics, cinema, diplomacy and lived experience — and why it remains a living, evolving emblem of Indian womanhood. 📍 IGNC (Amphitheatre), Janpath, New Delhi 🗓 8 February | 3.30 pm – 4.30 pm I look forward to welcoming you — to celebrate a garment that is at once inheritance and horizon.
