Ha bhai Faiz, ye ghum ki sham bc aur kitni lambi hai?

उनका डर गोरख पांडेय वे डरते हैं किस चीज़ से डरते हैं वे तमाम धन-दौलत गोला-बारूद पुलिस-फ़ौज के बावजूद? वे डरते हैं कि एक दिन निहत्थे और ग़रीब लोग उनसे डरना बंद कर देंगे।

Me following the proceedings today like

In Baghbazar North Calcutta. Theres still a lane called Marhatta Ditch Lane which refers to an actual ditch built in the 1740s along what was then the northern extremity of Calcutta. To stop the bands of Maratha cavalry who were pillaging Bengal. /end

Though Marathas never attacked Calcutta, in all probability being paid off by the British. The ditch, though, did serve to provide citizens with a nickname: ditchers, i.e everyone who lived south of the ditch, in "proper" Calcutta what is now Upper Circular Road. +

In 1741, the cavalry of Raghoji Bhosle, Maratha ruler of Nagpur, started to pillage Bengal under command of Bhaskar Pandit. Bengali army defeated the Marathas when they fought head-to-head, but mostly, Maratha cavalry would simply skirt the slow infantry, focus only in looting.🧵

@PratitiLikhchi Shuru hoyeche? I think a couple more hours right

I'm going to watch Dekoder and Inscript livestreams.

@PratitiLikhchi Will watch election results all night or the first 90 mins or so. No, in between

I really need to lock in and do some work for the next five hours or so, then I will stay up all night US time watching election results. Call me out if you see me Tweeting Mach Chor lyrics before night time EST.

Yes keep saying such things that’ll certainly endear you to them

When I’m in a competition for the dumbest lodu alive and this queen shows up …

I just cannot get over this moment. - from Mahanagar by Satyajit Ray

@arindam75 From your lips to god’s ears

There would never be another Satyajit Ray ever. But I need someone to recreate this scene with Palestine in center.

This video broke me and also reminded me of that video from Covid time when a guy fell down on his knees asking a cop to get his mom the oxygen cylinder else she’d die.
