Very interesting story that involves really detailed research. But after how the WaPo story on LIC+Adani was buried collectively in India (Indian media—including Mint—reported only LIC's denial, not the actual story), this too would get a 'nothing to see here' treatment, no doubt.

Oh my God! This is phenomenally effective communication! Fantastic narrative device with the right amount of exaggeration that lands the message with a bang, while also sending chills down the spine of the target audience (parents of young children)! Excellent work by the Irish agency Core Creative.

If only the civilizational upholder aka BJP was ruling Bharat and Indraprashta, the capital's data on pollution sources won't be 7 years old. Shame on all the opposition parties for doing a pathetic job. Unleash the 278 eminent personalities on them again.

Two different young Indians die in identical accidents involving rusted basketball poles falling on them, both in Haryana (Rohtak and Bahadurgarh)! Two more 'accidents' to feel sorry about with, "India is not for beginners" and swiftly moving on to civilizational pride.

After all these years, having kaapi at Hatti Kaapi for the first time ever... at T1 (arrival) Bengaluru. Not as good as Cothas at T2 arrival, but still very good coffee.

BJP's logic: It's already a monumentaly polluted river, what more can silicone defoamers do is we use daily? At least, the spraying can help us whitewash our PM Ji's image as the one who "cleaned" Yamuna.

"The union government’s share is only 15%, barely ₹3,000 crore. When lakhs of crores can be spent on a bullet train used by a few thousand, how can a metro serving lakhs every day be called too expensive?"

'Frankness'? Weren't those reporters being frank too in asking uncomfortable questions other journalists wouldn't? Can they react in kind to Trump, in his own kind of language and defend it as 'frankness'? 🙄

What a fantastic idea for a collab! As someone who grew up in Coimbatore, I love the fact that another Coimbatore-based brand (Vilvah) thought of using the Annapoorna's legendary filter coffee, and in particular, Annapoorna's Rose Milk (I may have gulped down many, many liters of this 1/3
