Professional news — yesterday was my last day at @ndtv … To the NDTV I have known and grown up watching, it has been the honour and privilege of my life to be one of you❤️ Personal news — I have been nursing a health issue which literally forced me to rest and take a break. Burnout is real, so here’s a reminder to put yourself first and listen to your body while you do everything else. Easy to preach, very tough to practice, so wish me luck :)

BREAKING: The Trump administration reportedly says ALL green card applicants must now leave the country indefinitely while their cases are processed; even if they are legally in the U.S. or married to American citizens. This would be one of the most aggressive immigration policy shifts in years.

‘We are losing pregnancies with no explanation’ Five years of RTI data tells a very clear story. This city is poisoning its pregnancies. We spoke to mothers and doctors who've run out of other explanations. Do read.
Delhi’s pollution may be harming babies before they even take their first breath. @SavyasachiAstha and @AkankhyaAk72623's investigation found that preterm births in 5 years Delhi’s preterm birth rate rose over 21% 🔒 Read. newslaundry.com/2026/05/22/5…

🇮🇳 Tesla is walking away from India after years of stalled negotiations, and the government's broken promises are a big reason why. India offered tariff relief tied to a $500 million manufacturing commitment. When Tesla engaged, the goalposts kept moving. With existing plants at 60% capacity, the math stopped making sense. India gets to keep the showrooms selling imported Teslas, but the factory goes elsewhere. Source: Teslarati

After press statements in Oslo, Norwegian press object to the PMs not taking questions as they normally do. Norway PM Store returns to do interviews with Norwegian media.
Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to. Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba. It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.

No journalist covering the #Bengal elections can ignore this: SIR deletions while they are - aren't just rolls purification —there is also clear  disenfranchisement. .. - Have met scores outside appellate tribunals with complete documentation— even links to the 2002 rolls—standing in long queues losing daily wages, spending precious  ₹150–₹300 on photocopies, only to leave confused, anxious, holding a torn white slip with a hand scribbled number. this isn't what electoral integrity looks like .. Did the powers that be fail to safeguard it? Yes.

Proud of my old newspaper, @the_hindu, take a bow @nambath, the only paper to have the correct headline for what transpired in parliament yesterday. All other newspapers seem to have bought the government’s spin that the ‘opposition defeated women’s reservation’!

Noida isn’t just another city in Uttar Pradesh - it is the state’s model of development and one of the brightest jewels in its economy. No other city in the state has sold more dreams. This is Noida- the city that promises an annual increment of ₹29 to its employees.

Over 6 years of RTIs since 2019/20. Still vacant posts, many contractual roles, delays. By the time teams are trained, peak pollution is back. Glad it’s happening but can’t afford more time & across all pollution boards. hindustantimes.com/cities/de… via @JasjeevGandhiok @htTweets

IMPORTANT: just 48 hours before Ponda by election in Goa that was to be held today , Bombay High Court cancels election. Reason? Alleged violation of Representation of the People Act as Goa legislature term ends in less than a year ! Qs: Did @ECISVEEP not know the law when it announced the dates? Or is this all an after thought since campaign is over? Timing raises suspicion over who benefits from a last minute cancellation of an election .. If this had happened in any other state, there would be an outcry. Maybe Goa is too small to make a national headline!
