Let’s be honest about what is happening this weekend. America’s top diplomat, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has flown all the way to India. He visited Kolkata, took a tour of the Taj Mahal in Agra, walked through the palaces of Jaipur, and is now in New Delhi for a...
There are moments in political history when a single stupid sentence by a powerful man creates the exact enemy he feared. India just had one of those moments. And the ruling establishment, true to form, is making it worse with every panicked move it makes. The Judge, The Remark, The...
Let me say something that most people with two decades of work experience will never say out loud. I have been earning a salary since my first job. More than twenty-two years have passed. And if you asked me today what I have built from all that income — not...

The country that has spent seven decades scrubbing its pre-Partition identity clean — renaming streets, demolishing temples, burying the cosmopolitan Lahore that once existed — has just done something that will make many Indians do a double...
Everyone talks about “burning fat” like it’s simple. Eat less. Move more. Sweat harder. But your body is smarter — and more stubborn — than most people realize. Your body doesn’t actually want to lose fat easily. Fat is survival energy. Thousands of years ago, humans stored fat to survive...
Some people are born into purpose. I was not. I had to fail my way into it. I grew up in Kollam, Kerala, watching my grandfather run a textile business. I didn’t study his ledgers. I didn’t analyse his margins. I just watched him — the way he spoke to...
