Word of the Day: Embarrassed One month ago, it was claimed that women at Eiffel Tower were removed because a BAPS delegation was visiting. Many in India lamented a global embarrassment, typical ‘Indian mindset’, ‘regressive Gujarati behaviour’ A probe has now found that the visitors never asked for it. It was ‘collective dysfunction’ and distortion of a message.

Capt Smit Machhar speaks to PM Modi on video call. Says: I unlocked the cockpit door, then the passengers came in and took over. While fighting for my life, I was conscious that if I don’t show courage at this point, 170 lives will be lost. Only thing on my mind was, I’m injured but I can’t let the passengers die. All through, I kept reciting the Hanuman Chalisa at that time, that gave me courage. I apologise for crying in front of you, but I’m so proud that I am speaking to the Prime Minister.

First time the PM reacts to gherao of his seat in Lok Sabha by Lady MPs of Congress. Speaker had said at that time, he apprehended something untoward could happen. Today PM Said: You can’t become PM by sending lady MPs to surround the PM’s chair. What’s the ‘majboori’, are you that ‘khokhla’?

Finally went to Avijit Sarkar’s house, 5 years after he was lynched during post poll violence in 2021. Even today, his brother runs a shelter for rescued strays. He has built a little memorial to the murdered puppies right next to Avijit’s memorial. 3 murdered puppies were laid to rest under a Tulsi plant. Bishwajeet told us how Avijit’s killers’ family still lives next door to them, but they never hurt them even when BJP came to power. Because violence is NOT ‘political culture of Bengal’
