It is not killer pricing. Read this - teapaw.org/ferrarirules86/status/…
⚡️All those celebrating Maruti's price launch, please read the following carefully.
⚡️I have attached the regulatory filing for the pricing announcement by @Maruti_Corp.
⚡️BaaS is not a new concept; it was introduced by MG Motors. It is simply splitting the cost of the car and battery into two loans. You pay both loans, so you own the car and the battery.
⚡️In such cases, reading the fine print is the most important. The fine print is at the bottom of the regulatory filing. (See image 2 for clear reading)
This is where it starts going downhill:
‼️ BaaS is a dual-loan finance product. The Rs. 4/km is calculated by dividing the battery EMI by 60 km per day usage (fine print). Example: If the battery EMI is Rs. 7,200, 60 km per day gives Rs. 4/km for the BaaS portion.
‼️ BaaS excludes RTO, insurance, TCS, and other levies. This means you own the battery and will pay these levies to the government.
‼️ The battery warranty is reduced from 10 years (global) to 8 years for India. "Made in India for the world."
‼️ Battery prices have not been released, so you do not know the full price of the car.

I feel utmost grief in announcing the sad demise of my ex co-News anchor at Doordarshan, Sarala Maheshwari 🙏
She was the embodiment of grace and courtesy.
Beautiful not just in appearance but even more so at heart, she had a remarkable command over language and was a reservoir of knowledge. Her presence on the Doordarshan screen had a unique aura. She respected everyone and uplifted every space she was part of.
I pray that God grants her soul eternal peace and gives strength to the Maheshwari family.
Om Shanti 🙏🙏🙏

Well done @NayabSainiBJP and @PradeepIAS_HR : you make India so so proud. I shudder to think what the Prime Minister @narendramodi would think of your competence? And well done @DC_Gurugram : your hard work is commendable. @gurgaon_live

Surpassing 2024 numbers already.
Structural shift + SUV love = record year ahead. @makeinindia, loved worldwide...

My friend just got placed on Day 1 at IITM with a 60 LPA package.
People love to criticise JEE, but they forget it’s actually the simplest path in the long run. Crack it and you get four years of clarity, structure, and opportunity. Miss it, end up in a tier-3 college, and suddenly you’re juggling DSA, dev, communication skills, side projects, and five other things, just to land 4 LPA.
Sometimes the “hard” thing is actually the easiest route forward. Study hard, that’s it. people who have genuinely prepared for JEE would relate!

In view of the increasing air pollution in Delhi, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has decided to change the working hours of the offices of the Delhi Government and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi from 15 November 2025 to 15 February 2026.
The new timings of Delhi Government offices will be from 10:00 am to 6:30 pm, and Delhi Municipal Corporation offices will be from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.
Currently, Delhi government offices operate from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Municipal Corporation of Delhi offices operate from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This mere 30-minute difference in opening hours results in heavy traffic and congestion both in the morning and the evening, further exacerbating air pollution.

I’ve been battling a cold & cough and cancelled engagements for two days. My staff and my sister, @smitatharoor, persuaded me to turn my eyes away from the computer part of the time towards a @NetflixIndia series, and it’s one of the best things I have ever treated myself to: absolute #OTT GOLD! ✨
Just finished watching Aryan Khan's directorial debut, “The Ba***ds of Bollywood”, and I'm left grasping for words of praise. It takes time to grow on you, but then you’re irresistibly hooked! The writing is sharp, the direction is fearless, and the sheer audacity of this satire is just what Bollywood needed. A genius, often hilarious, sometimes moving, and always unflinching look beyond the glamour, sending up every cinematic cliche with razor-like wit — and a series of insider jokes that let the audience into the act & behind the scenes.
The seven compelling episodes mark the arrival of a true storytelling powerhouse. Take a bow, Aryan Khan—you’ve delivered a masterpiece:
“TheBa***dsOfBollywood” is brilliant!
@iamsrk : from one father to another, let me say: you must be so proud!!

So I travelled to Thailand for the first time since 2019. Still a beautiful country but dramatic expansion of weed shops is crazy. More of those than 7-11's in Phuket, just as prevalent as thekas in Gurugram.
I still believe that the Government of India should consider legalisation of marijuana. It is part of our botanical heritage and controlled legalisation would have immense benefits for the country.

About lunch today. Ate at a 500-year old restaurant on the banks of the Hallstättersee in the Austrian province of Styria.
A traditional (and delicious) breaded fried chicken with potato salad followed by a lovely nougat mousse in a chocolate pinecone which was divine. The pinenut icecream, was a bit meh. The folks who tried the freshly caught fish were raving about it as well.
But the views were the highlight!

The Kodaikanal Ghat road is narrow, slightly tight drive to be honest, but @_vikramch drove well. A two-minute timelapse video I took while driving up on. the third day of @HondaCarIndia Drive To Discover 'A Monsoon Trail' through the mountains of southern India.
