Bulbul's nest in Betel Leaf creeper

Spoke to @nagarjund from @IndiaToday this morning. My take on the Bidadi fight is clear: this isn’t a development project, it’s a state-engineered land grab for real estate profits. 7,500 acres of fertile land and nearly 10 lakh trees are at stake. @JanataDal_S will fight this from the streets to the courts. Our Padayatra begins June 21!

I wasn’t sure how to start writing the piece and get a huge load off my chest, as it were. Maybe it’s better that I quote the poor Indian mariners at sea, part of the merchant fleet caught in the middle of a bruising war between the United States and Iran, stranded on inhospitable waters, getting bombarded by American missiles, dying without medical attention – the air heavy with humidity, the stench of rotting flesh and the moral decay of the American empire. “We are in Iran right now..Only Indian ships are being attacked. Why? Why are you bringing us into your fight? We aren’t military or anything like that…” One can feel the helplessness and anguish of the seafarers, out to earn their bread far from home, collateral damage in a war that has nothing to do with India or Indians. In these contested waters where a double naval blockade is in place, ‘dark’ tankers ferrying sanctioned crude are mostly headed for China, the largest importer of Iranian oil. Not one China-linked ship or Chinese crew members have come under attack so far in this conflict zone. Obviously, Washington knows better. Indians are easy targets. It gets easier when even the government, whose citizens have been the victims of a war crime, reflexively chooses sangfroid over reading the riot act. firstpost.com/opinion/the-ti…

ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ ಭೂಮಿ ಒಡೆಯರನ್ನ, ವಲಸಿಗರ ಕಟ್ಟಡ ಕೂಲಿ ಕೆಲಸಕ್ಕೆ ಇಡೋದು. ಇದೆ ಟೌನ್ ಶಿಪ್ ಗಳ ಮತ್ತು ಭೂಮಿ ವಶಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವ #KIADB ಕೊಡುಗೆ. #ಬಿಡದಿ_ರೈತರ_ಭೂಮಿ_ಉಳಿಸಿ #SayNoToBidadiTownship #Bidadi

Two discredited idiots planning fresh mischief.

"ಕನ್ನಡತನ" ಕನ್ನಡತನಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಹೊರತಾದ ದರ್ಮ ಎಂಬುದು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಪಾಲಿಗೆ ಯಾವುದೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಹೋರಾಟಗಾರರಿಂದ ದರ್ಮ, ಅದ್ಮಾತ್ಮಗಳನ್ನು ಕಲಿಯಬೇಕು. #ಕನ್ನಡತನ

There's no water to drink in our country. India is already water stressed. Please stop this ethanol madness, @nitin_gadkari ji ! Focus on EVs.

ಈ ಮರಾಟಿ ರಾಜಕಾರಣಿಗಳು ಎಲ್ಲೆಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ಶಿವಾಜಿ ಗೊಂಬೆ ನೆಲೆಯೂರಿಸಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರಾಬಲ್ಯವನ್ನು ತೋರಿಸಿದಾಗ ನಾವು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರು ಬಾಯಿ ಮುಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡು ಇರುತ್ತೀವಿ. ಈಗ ಇವರ ಬಾಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಟ್ಟದಾಗಿ ಉಗಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ತೀವಿ. ತಪ್ಪು ನಮ್ಮದೇ. ಶಿವಾಜಿ ಗೊಂಬೆ ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಿದಾಗಲೇ ಇವರನ್ನು ತರಾಟೆಗೆ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಿತ್ತು.

Oil has fallen to $83 a barrel but petrol prices in India not reduced accordingly. Urgency shown while increasing is not shown when it's time to pass on the benefits to the public.

ಕುಮಾರಸ್ವಾಮಿ ಟೌನ್ ಶಿಪ್ ಮಾಡೋಕೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಕೈಬಿಟ್ರು, ಈಗ ನೀವು ಬಿಟ್ಬಿಡಿ @DKShivakumar , ಯಾಕಂದ್ರೆ #hdk ಮಾಡಿದ್ನೆ ಅಲ್ವಾ ನೀವು ಮಾಡೋದು. ನೀವು ನಿಮ್ಮ PR ಗುಂಪು 24ಗಂಟೆ ಅದೆ ಬಡ್ಕೊತಿದಿರಾ, #hdk ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು ಅಂತ. ಹಂಗಾಗಿ, ಅವ್ರು ಬಿಟ್ಟಂಗೆ ನೀವು ಬಿಡಿ #ಬಿಡದಿ_ರೈತರ_ಭೂಮಿ_ಉಳಿಸಿ #Bidadi #SayNoToBidadiTownship

Personal insults to deflect attention away from a serious policy issue! What is @TVMohandasPai afraid to face? Could it be that the decades of theatric celebrity as some kind of tech guru are coming apart publicly. From my side, I mean no personal harm towards him and have cherished many years of solid friendship in the past. I wish him well. But friendship should not come in the way of addressing SERIOUS policy issues that impact tens of millions of youth today. Lets discuss the policies, not personalities: First, please differentiate between tech producers and consumers. India is largely a technology consumer nation importing tech from USA, China and others as the producers. Producers have the power advantage. They are always 1-2 generations of technology ahead of the consumers. They decide the terms of the exchange, including outright bans, exorbitant pricing, colonization, and large-scale exploitation. India's role on the producer side is marginal: supplying cheap labor, and low value-added derivative products mostly for domestic consumption. In all tech revolutions, the gap between producers and consumers keeps increasing rapidly. Today, India is further behind than it was even 3-5 years ago, in the resources and capabilities required to bridge the huge gaps. Colonizers' strategy is to corner the slaves into self-limiting frameworks. They asserted: "stick to your outsourcing, and don't get into serious R&D except as our employees". This is where Pai, other industrialists, as well as govt babus became empowered to serve as agents of the colonizers, just like the zamindars appointed by the East India Company. India faces serious dependencies in its hard power. That requires a powerful military-industrial complex. This is becoming a NATIONAL SECURITY threat. The WAY FORWARD: Step 1 is to allow free speech for intelligent and well-meaning critiques. (Note: I have been denied participation in recent AI and other forums in India because the gatekeepers want to curate the discourse. Hence, I decided to go public, while maintaining my good wishes and appreciation for the establishment.) Jai Hind.🙏🙏🙏

The mighty always command respect, the cowards even with their “superiority complex” don’t. Iran, despite no military prowess of their own, executed asymmetrical warfare strategy brilliantly and crippled the U.S.! The U.S., with their “world’s most powerful military toolkit”, demonstrated pure cowardice (including murdering of innocent Indian civilians in the high seas), and ultimately surrendered to Iran. Iran WON the war and well-deserved.

#Bangalore this, Blore that, worst city, no life, blah blah.. Temp drops to 22°, while it is 38-48° in other cities, suddenly all complaints vanish!! Then they call all their relatives to come & settle down in Blore 😂😂 They come, start complaining again! Blore in a nut shell.

They migrate to South to escape a broken system, only to invite the exact same politician and party that ruined their home state to rule them here It’s an impossible mindset to comprehend

Chief Minister @DKShivakumar should stop taking PM Modi Ji’s name as a crutch of support to further his Bidadi Township project. The Bidadi Township project has turned out to be Chief Minister DK Shivakumar’s vanity project. He has neither consulted farmers, nor taken them into confidence or has followed due process for land acquisition. Farmers deserve clarity, consultation and transparency before any land acquisition takes place. Yesterday, I spoke with Shri Nikhil Kumarswamy and assured him of my full support. Watch.
