Aadi and I had a very lively discussion on India's evolving status in the post SCO times. We discuss how India has gone beyond neutrality to being a emerging pole in global affairs whose weight counts. The Q&A session was very mature and devoid of hype.
The Pakistani FM to BBC: War would be suicidal. Pakistan has already started negotiating with a gun to its head! Welcome home Wing Commander Abhinanadan. Well done. You flew into the Valley of Death and survived. India is proud. Sincere condolences to Air Marshal Waseem Ud Din on the loss of his son Shahaz Ud Din under most unfortunate circumstances. He was incredibly brave to continue his mission when others had turned around. Paradigm Emerged A lot has happened since Balakot. Some in focus some out. Some hyped. Some diffused.

Mirror, mirror. You're not independent. You're not a beautiful bride and if your family is delinquent, the groom will not show up at the wedding hall.
Bandar bandar you are a joker. US had to shell out something (strategic) for India not to buy Iranian oil. Russian we get with a ungli to US.
