"The CIA beamed signals to Stanford University at the very same time researchers there conducted remote viewing experiments. Were images beamed to the heads of the percipiants." The Washington Post, August 7th, 1977.



#WATCH | Delhi: Centre asked Delhi Gymkhana Club to hand over premises by June 5, citing public purpose, defence infrastructure and national security considerations. Riya Sachthey, Advocate and Member of Delhi Gymkhana Club, says, "I have been a third-generation member of the Delhi Gymkhana Club. I was pretty appalled when I saw this notice. But when I read through the notice, the legal language clearly states that in the same deed, re-entry is allowed. But re-entry, a layman will not understand what re entry for what? So when you read the lease deed, you will notice that re-entry is only for public use. If this land is to be taken by the government for public use, in public interest, manning the security of our country, if there was some sort of an issue like that, it's okay, I'm fine...The staff over there should be adjusted somewhere so that they don't lose their livelihood. Me being a member, third-generation member, I feel that there should be some sort of an alternate institution which might not be as historical as this. We all can, you know, go there and make it like that. There should be some sort of alternative that we can also go and visit. I'm sure there's something good for the nation, in the interest of the citizens of the country, that such a step is being taken."

This is unfortunate. It is truly tragic. ( Hope the proposal is reconsidered) @arunjaitley got a new pool constructed during his life time. Some of the finest tennis matches have been played here. So much history, so many memories, and generations of sporting excellence are associated with this place. The Delhi Gymkhana Club is not just a property — it is part of our institutional and sporting heritage. Change may be necessary, but history and legacy deserve thoughtful preservation. We can plan to add something new there too… ndtv.com/india-news/del…

Now this is audacity…Modi govt takes on the real and permanent establishment of India…. Centre tells Delhi Gymkhana Club to hand over land by 5 June, needs it to ‘secure defence infra’ Moushumi Das Gupta @dgupta_moushumi reports for ThePrint theprint.in/india/centre-t…





Apropos Union Gov’s decision to destroy #DelhiGymkhanaClub my views: 1. I joined it in 1978/79 (applied in 1974). My father wasn’t a member. 2. Only all-India services & military officers got membership routinely. 3. The club, besides its other services, was famous for its tennis & squash facilities. Famous writer/journalist Khushwant Singh played tennis there till his 90s 4. The elected committees may’ve performed poorly, making gov nominate members. 5. As my old friend @thekiranbedi has opined Del Gym Club is a repository of sporting, services & cultural memories. Destroying it is untenable.
