Market heard “Tempo,” and piled into Force Motors.

Speaking to a friend who bought a shop in a Mall in Gurgaon. After 10 years finally able to eke out some rent from that place.

Asked him - would apartment in Gurgaon have given better returns? He disagreed saying the resale value of his commercial RE would be better today than…

I think that Judge Cannon is intellectually out of her league and is having some weird analysis paralysis because her personal partisanship makes her place Trump’s bizarre arguments (like that nuclear secrets are his personal records) on par with Smith’s *actual* legal…

“Even as a pliant Election Commission looks the other way, Modi must weigh the consequences of his dog whistles.The Indian prime minister’s desperation for a third term is putting a target on the back of a vulnerable minority &placing millions of lives at risk”. Andy Mukherjee

Both Modi & his party leaders have largely stopped promoting their accomplishments of the past 10 years, or, for that matter, the “Modi guarantees” offered in BJP’s manifesto for the next five.

Hasn't Modi scapegoated Muslims since 2002, Andy Mukherjee

Politics of divisiveness & hate! Sad that the Prime minister of the greatest and largest democracy is indulging in it!

“Bhatia considers Junoon’s other, better known song, the kajri Saawan Ki Aayi Bahaar Re, one of his finest achievements.” Who would disagree? scroll.in/reel/973549/on…

Andy Mukherjee There's no parallel to Bharat Ek Khoj titles. The music in the episodes, especially the musical ones like Prithviraj Raso were so great that I recorded them separately on a cassette and used to listen to it just as an audio.

In Old India, when nothing was achieved, the weekend used to begin with the mysterious hymns scored by Vanraj Bhatia for Bharat Ek Khoj. Operation Flood, which made us self-sufficient in milk, had its mascot in Smita Patil … and Vanraj Bhatia’s immortal song. So much more. Read:
