HENRI FANTHOME

STFU! Go home! Seriously! #obsessed

City after city in India has waged war on the poor in the name of "beautification" and "world-class infrastructure". Hawkers and street vendors, the very people keeping cities fed, affordable and alive, are treated like dirt to be swept away so urban spaces can be "cleansed". +

@HENRIFANTHOME @Intach_AH @ASIGoI In reference to the complaint, it is submitted that the cleaning of the concerned park has been carried out. Further, necessary instructions have been issued to the field staff to ensure regular maintenance, cleanliness, and proper upkeep of the park on a regular basis.

@official_dda @Intach_AH @ASIGoI Thank you @official_dda would appreciate your continued support to keep our commons and public parks clean and safe for citizens.

@official_dda @Intach_AH @ASIGoI this is the state of upkeep at the Mehrauli Archeological Park. What a shame! This is a park visited by 1000s every week. Is this how we want to preserve #DelhiRidge and #Parks

If you are ordering on delivery apps this summer - it might be a good idea to order before 11 AM or after 4 PM. That way you help riders avoid heat exposure on city roads during this heatwave. #delivery @bigpasket @blinkit @zepto @instmart #orders #delhi #summer #empathy

@protagonist_xig Huggs and Love. Stay strong. That love is the purest thing we will ever know!

She would’ve turned 11 tomorrow 💔

Sab Dhanda hain sab Dhanda hain ye!

@IndianGems_ @JayashankarKV Hahahaha, that’s actually aimed at Modiji?

@Demeter_Erinia We used Maps and trust me they were more reliable and efficient than GPS navigation.

Serious question… How did people get to places before GPS??

@hashjenni MOST DIED BY 35. 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

How did our ancestors survive without ADHD medication or depression pills and anxiety meds? Can anyone explain?

@darab_farooqui @asivasankar75 I think the explanation is much simpler - Road / Street / Infra contracts are huge opportunities for money transfer and kickbacks. Also there is no public scrutiny of such work or fund allocation. This is just money exchanging hands - bigger projects do it faster.

A Rajput friend of mine in Jaipur has a theory about this. Walk through any big Jain Marwari home of Jaipur and you'll notice something. The architecture is magnificent but the ground is bare. Swept clean. Maximum concrete, maximum stone. Hardly a tree in sight. And if they are, they are on the edges or boundry walls. In Jain philosophy, ahinsa is a lived, granular daily practice. The Muni sweeps the ground before sitting, to avoid crushing a life. And a tree? A tree is an ecosystem. It drops things. Insects fall from it, crawl under it, get stepped on by an unaware foot. A tree becomes a moral liability. But here's where it gets political. The current establishment draws heavily from Gujarati Hindu thought. And Gujarati Hinduism has been marinated for centuries in Jain influence. The boundary between a devout Gujarati Vaishnav and a Jain Shravak has always been porous. When this culture takes power, he argues, it doesn't just bring its economics or its politics. It brings its instincts. And that instinct, he says, is for controlled surfaces. Paved. Sealed. Safe. It's just a theory. But it offers an unsettling idea that explains the concrete spreading across Indian cities, look at any construction done by Sanghis. Trees are missing. Somewhere, under its foundations, lies the anxiety of a theology, a life style. The trees are not being cut, the ground is being purified to walk on.

@insanelytedious Definitely looks like a KabootarKhana

@HENRIFANTHOME It does look overcrowded 🙄

THAT LOOKS LIKE A VERY EXPENSIVE VERTICAL SLUM!

@PoojaPriyam_ @Devalt2305 Why do we not know each other - o could do with some friends who have mountain homes and beach homes. 😈

@Devalt2305 I have inherited one in the countryside and one in Shimla, I don't like going to the hills now

No, I would rather buy a seaside villa with that money! Any external thing/possession that is perceived as your only validation/worth is actually not good for your mental health!

The best thing about the Internet - IS DOG RESCUE VIDEOS. Hands down my fav thing to watch. Makes you believe there’s still good in the world. Makes you believe in love!

Massive hike in #petrol prices is a prime example of the failure of Congress-led UPA. This will put a burden of hundreds of crores on Guj.

@iid_sp A) You need architects who are willing to design and charge proper fees B) you need builders who think beyond profit per square foot C) YOU NEED AN ADMINISTRATION AND POLICY THAT LOOKS AT HOUSING AS SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE NOT REAL ESTATE AND MONEY.

@HENRIFANTHOME I am no architect but it stuns me there aren’t better visually interesting forms to meet functional needs that this serves . Is this the least cost highest functionality design possible in this layout ?

@vinodkapri Please get him carpet or something that can help him stand, 13 isn’t very old. Weight management and Physio should help him, and joint supplements.

Our 13.5 years young baby #Soccer.. 
Can’t stand on his own anymore.
Can barely see now.
But he still hears a little.And every morning, one key word changes everything: “banana.” 🍌 The moment he hears it, he gathers every ounce of strength left in his tiny body and tries to stand up on his own. Slippery floors, weak paws, failing legs ..nothing stops him from trying to reach his favourite morning snack. I deliberately encourage it. Every little attempt is exercise now. Every shaky step is courage now. And … something happened.
Can you guess? ❤️ #Soccer

@abhijeet_dipke @arawn1 The 2014 protest were just to make sure that in future rapists would not be punished and instead be garlanded by the BJP government

A woman was gang-raped in a bus in Delhi, yet no TV news channel even bothering to cover the news. Is this the same India where the media & ppl came together after the Nirbhaya incident and shook the govt? Or have we, as a nation, collectively given up and become dead inside?
