Let’s all take a deep breath and thank the diplomatic gods. India and Pakistan just pulled off a miracle. No, not winning a cricket match without controversy — something even rarer. A ceasefire. Yes, you heard that right. The big scary “W” word (War) has been replaced with a more elegant “C” (Ceasefire). Nobody lost. […]
By Kapil Gupta So Rohit Sharma has retired from Test cricket. And no, this isn’t about respect. It’s about timing. Perfectly timed. Almost… IPL-scripted. Let’s cut the crap. Rohit’s test form was flatter than a soda left open in May. Nine matches. Avg: 10.93. Forget Virat vs Babar debates — this was Rohit vs Rohit. […]
— A Follow-up to “Pahalgam: When Tourism Turned to Terror” By Kapil Gupta Let’s not sugarcoat it. The Pahalgam attack was 100% Hindu-Muslim. Not because I said it. Not because Twitter said it. Because the terrorists made it that way. They checked for religion before pulling the trigger. ID dekha, naam padha, goli maari. That’s […]
Instagram launched “Teen Accounts” late last year. Big news? Nah. It’s just lipstick on a digital demon. But now they are being promoted incessantly, especially in India Teen Minds, Real Damage Let’s get this straight. This ain’t about safety. It’s about optics. A 14-year-old in a tier-3 town watches a 17-year-old in LA flaunt Ferraris, […]
Last week’s Pahalgam terror attack triggered a thought. I know many will dislike it. But when has that ever stopped me? Twenty-six Indians lost their lives. Tourists. Kids. Bus drivers. Young women. Old parents. Killed. In cold blood. But the media, the public, and the frenzy that is our national mood — picked one man. […]
Vaibhav Suryavanshi just slapped a 35-ball century in the IPL. He’s 14. Fourteen. Most kids his age are still figuring out how not to spill coffee on their class presentations. But here’s India — already naming streets, printing T-shirts, and probably trying to get his horoscope matched with the next World Cup trophy. Because nothing […]
So Meta just dropped its quarterly earnings. Numbers? Through the roof. Narrative? The same applies to steroids: AI is eating the world, and Meta is the delivery guy. From Threads to Reels to WhatsApp to Instagram, Zuckerberg’s empire is clear about one thing: This isn’t about social media anymore. It’s about turning every scroll, tap, and […]
What do you get when you mix a former Prime Minister on the ropes, a smug Conservative already measuring the curtains at 24 Sussex, and Trump yelling at maple trees from across the border? You get Canada’s 2025 election — aka the Great Liberal Heist of the Century. Just six months ago, this thing was […]
Once upon a time, in the glorious land of Doordarshan and Gold Spot… There stood a proud desi fizz: Campa Cola. Born in the 1970s after Coca-Cola was shown the exit door from India, Campa Cola became the sip of every street, the crush of every kid, and the pride of every paanwaala. And then? […]
So, the Catholic Church is about to enter conclave-mode again — incense, secrets, crimson robes, and cardinals whispering Latin in candlelight. But here’s the real question no one wants to say out loud: Where should the next Pope be from? And while we’re at it… Should he be white? Should he be male? Should he […]
