Why Arnab’s sudden questions matter — and why Ravish never needed permission For nearly a decade, Indian prime-time news followed a predictable script. You could mute the TV and still know who the villain was, who the hero was, and who would never be questioned. Then, suddenly, something changed. The...
India is a $3.9 trillion economy. Ethiopia is around $127 billion. That makes India roughly 30 times richer. Yet when many Indians see visuals of Addis Ababa, a disturbing question pops up: Why does their capital sometimes look more like the “Smart City” we were promised? Clean roads. Visible green...
Some people entertain you. Some people educate you. A very rare few expose you to yourself. Sreenivasan belonged to the last category. Today, Malayalam cinema did not just lose an actor or a director. It lost its most honest mirror — a man who used laughter as a weapon, sarcasm...
Most people talk about AI like it’s some genius sitting in a lab, thinking deep thoughts. Wrong image. AI today is closer to a giant engine. You pour money in. It spits money out. Then that money is poured back in—bigger, faster, stronger. That’s why AI isn’t slowing down. It’s...
For years, Indian prime-time news has followed an unspoken rule: power speaks, anchors echo.

There’s symbolism. And then there’s irony so thick you need an oxygen mask. While Delhi turns into a toxic gas chamber, with AQI levels crossing 500, schools shutting, hospitals filling up, and people literally choking on air, the Prime Minister is outside the country planting saplings in Ethiopia—a city that...
We are often reminded of one thing before anything else. He works 18 hours a day. He sleeps only 4 hours. He thinks only about the country. Fair enough. Now comes the uncomfortable question: Is the country reflecting those 18 hours of work? Because leadership is not measured by fatigue....
Two India’s Nobody Campaigns On One perfects the art of power, the other perfects the abuse of it Part one: How BJP built power before it won power From political margins to a national machine The BJP did not rise by accident. Its journey began long before 2014, rooted in...
From the day India woke up as a free nation, one thing has remained stubbornly unchanged: politicians change parties, but the system never changes. Congress ruled. BJP ruled.
