By now, filmmakers should realise that they should not attempt to make a full-length movie on the Ramayana or the Mahabharata. It’s incredibly difficult because these epics are vast, layered, and deeply revered; condensing them into a few hours often leads to oversimplification, loss of nuance, and inevitable disappointment among audiences. Instead, attempt developing character-driven narratives centred on figures like Bhishma, Drona, Abhimanyu, Ashwatthama, Indra, Indrajeet, and Luv-Kusha, situated within the broader canvas of the Ramayana or Mahabharata, but anchored to a clearly defined dramatic arc. As Telugu cinema, specifically NTR, demonstrated in the past, isolating a single perspective allows for tighter screenwriting, stronger character psychology, and greater thematic coherence. It preserves the epic scale as context while delivering a focused, emotionally resonant film that does not collapse under the weight of trying to encompass everything.

Man finally gets to see ‘stardom’.

Gupta Ji claims India is all talk, this is a classic Lindy Effect trap: the mistake of judging a 20 yr Chinese lead against an Indian mission that is currently in its critical ignition phase. Today only, Bharat Coal Gasification & Chemicals Ltd (BCGCL) & Mahanadi Coalfields (MCL) signed the definitive land lease for the Lakhanpur Project in Odisha. This is not a pilot. Contracts have already been awarded to BHEL & L&T. Unlike the Chinese plants that often use Western/licensed technology, this is India’s 1st Indigenous Coal-to-Ammonium Nitrate facility using homegrown BHEL technology. Gupta Ji again paints a picture of national humiliation regarding fertilizers. India’s urea production hit a record 314 LMT in 2024, & as of 27th Mar, 2026, the govt confirmed adequate reserves (53 LMT Urea, 21 LMT DAP) for the Rabi season. India has successfully revived 5 massive fertilizer plants (Ramagundam, Talcher, Gorakhpur, Sindri, & Barauni). When Talcher goes live, it will be India’s 1st coal-gasification-based urea plant. China took 20 yrs to build their 80 MMTPA capacity; India is attempting a compressed 10-year leap (with Covid19 issues) while simultaneously leading the world in Green Hydrogen.

China insulated itself against energy shocks. India is ‘all talk, no walk’… Why is India gas-starved while China sits pretty.. #NationalInterest for the week… theprint.in/national-inter…

After Bsc. Chemistry, got married at 21 years. After marriage, Cleared bank exam in the 80s (which was like IT back then) for the fun of it but didn't join anywhere for work.

Won Suman Sharma Award Simultaneously dabbled in journalism and worked for a local neighbourhood newspaper. Later joined a chemical engineering MNC firm in a part time role Wanted to completely enjoy motherhood, so she would leave for work after we left for school and come back home early, before we came home from school Was very strict with us on school academics. A 98% or a 2nd rank would mean scoldings - why not centum/1st rank. Guess this highly competitive spirit we grew up in, has been with me all the way even now Parallelly she learnt and performed Bharatanatyam solo and group dance recitals. Had her dance Arangetram during her college days before marriage and started giving dance performances solo/ group much later, after we grew up Also learnt and taught Carnatic music vocal (she was my very first teacher and made me give vocal performances when I was in high school) and later she got trained in violin as well She learnt software testing when I was in high school and joined one of the big IT companies (after I joined UG college) in their academy as a faculty.

Looks like panic bells have started ringing after UAE asked for its money back. After a brief show of bravado, regime linked alleged journalists are furiously churning out vlogs claiming that Pakistan has warned Iran that they will side with Saudis if things deteriorate. The penny has dropped that punjabi badak and boastfulness only goes so far and if the Arabs pull the plug, it will be all over for Pakistan. Suddenly all the talk of ghairat has gone into the toilet; beghairati is coming back strong and now they are talking of strong bonds with the Arabs. 🤣🤣🤣

The regime change in West Bengal may happen or may not happen. But the tolerance being shown by Delhi, esp after SC remarks, may create a situation that will lead to bigger issues in the country. If WB is not tackled by the state with all its power at its disposal, we must prepare for blood on the street with the same state watching it from far. @AmitShah @narendramodi

I am feeling uneasy watching the lead actors of Rãmãyana and Chhatrapati Shivãji Mahãraj. They could have chosen someone, either with a clean image, or a newcomer. It is hard to respect, and bow to, those who have been doing dubious roles in the past. Is it just me?

I am sanguine that Dnyaneshwar Maharaj is NOT reincarnated as Veer Savarkar. Nor a projection either. The reason is important. Why? Because Dnyaneshwar is not just a saint. He is a Siddha. That is an immortal. He is not a Paramahamsa… or Jeevanmukta but way higher. Although this is described as 3 steps higher in Aghora books, in practice, those 3 steps are so gigantic that it takes a Vaman to step across the 3 steps. Thus, Dnyaneshwar will never have Mrtyu, he is Mrtyunjaya and is way higher than anything that people can imagine. He created an entire panth, the Varkari panth, but his Shakti extends across the 3 worlds. There are only 84 Siddhas. He is one who is displaying his own Maya in the Universe. The Yoginis come to Alandi even now. Thus Sawarkar, who is a great man, is a mortal subject to vicissitudes of Fate which most people are. But Dnyaneshwar is master of Destiny. The understanding of the detail is crucial.

A big boost to ‘Ease of Living’ and ‘Ease of Doing Business’… It’s a matter of immense delight that Parliament has passed the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill 2026. This Bill strengthens a trust-based framework that empowers our citizens. It marks the end of rules and regulations that are outdated. At the same time, it ensures speedy disposal of cases, reduces litigation burden with decriminalisation. What is also noteworthy is the consultative approach with which this Bill was drafted. My compliments to all those who have given their insights towards the drafting of the Bill and supported it in Parliament.

Almost all temples and all vigraha of Hanuman consecrated by Samarth Ramdas Swami is of this form of Maruti. Even his famous (in Marathi) Maruti stotra contemplation on this form of Maruti. We chant it regularly in MH (Hanuman Chalisa not so popular in MH) and it is about this angry Hanuman bringing droNagiri to help LakshmaNa. Everywhere Marathas went, they took this Mountain-carrying Maruti worship along with them.

What a blessed day it was! On a ‘Guru’ day (Thursday), I had the darshan of the veena used by ‘Guru Guha’ Sri Muthusvami Dikshitar (born 250 yrs ago). Yes, the SAME VEENA (preserved with lot of care by his family successors). The last one year especially, multiple platforms were given to me, to elucidate the greatness of his musical works (especially the sahitya). Many musicians of the highest order & calibre have appreciated his musical genius. Who am I in front of those stalwarts 🙏🏽?! As I darshan of the divya vigrahas propitiated by him, I saw this veena, and sang a few lines from his Sri Kantimatim kriti ❤️

श्री हनुमान जयंती पर आज श्रीराम जन्मभूमि मन्दिर में परकोटे के दक्षिणी भुजा के मध्य स्थित श्री हनुमान मंदिर पर ध्वजारोहण किया गया। बजरंग दल के संस्थापक श्री विनय कटियार और बाद में संगठन प्रमुख रहे सर्वश्री जयभान सिंह पवैया, प्रकाश शर्मा, सुरेन्द्र जैन, नीरज दोनेरिया ने संतों, न्यास के पदाधिकारियों और प्रतिष्ठित नागरिकों की उपस्थिति में संयुक्त रूप से हनुमान मंदिर के शिखर पर ध्वजारोहण किया। शिखर पर १९ फिट ७ इंच ऊंचे दंड पर आरोहित ध्वज ९ फिट ३ इंच लंबा और ४ फिट ७ इंच चौड़ा है। On the occasion of Shri Hanuman Jayanti today, a dhwaj was hoisted at the Shri Hanuman Mandir located at the center of the southern arm of the parikrama within the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir complex. Bajrang Dal founder Shri Vinay Katiyar, along with former organization heads Sarv Shri Jai Bhan Singh Pawaiya, Prakash Sharma, Surendra Jain, and Neeraj Doneria, jointly hoisted the dhwaj atop the mandir shikhara in the presence of saints, trust officials, and distinguished citizens. The dhwaj, mounted on a 19 feet 7 inches high mast, measures 9 feet 3 inches in length and 4 feet 7 inches in width.

Wishing everyone a blessed Hanuman Jayanti 🙏

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj fought for hindawi swaraj, not some modern version of secularism. ​VFX cannot replace the तेज (aura) required to play Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Riteish Deshmukh lacks the vibe; it feels like a filtered performance. He lacks the raw intensity and physique which the role demands. If you want to see Maharaj brought to life with dignity and power, look at actor Sharad Kelkar, he captured the soul of the King. I will pass this.
