Behind Kapil Dev is James Bond. He was working on contract for the visiting English team. At the time of this tour, Bond was living with Octopussy in Udaipur. Beside Kapil is Ravishankar Shastri. I thought it was Robin Singh, but Robin never played with Kapil in India, is shorter and wears a left hander’s gloves(duh 🙄) This was India vs England, Dec 1984, Kotla, Delhi. Manoj Prabhakar’s Test debut. He opened the batting with Gavaskar in the second innings and opened the bowling with Kapil Dev in both the innings. Dream start for a 21 year old. 12 years later, Jayasuriya would end Prabhakar’s career at the same venue.

@abhijeet_dipke Don’t go, please. The world will stop if you do.

I’ve been down with a fever and severe body pain for the last few days, but I’ve been pushing through with painkillers. My apologies if you don’t see me at Jantar Mantar today. I need to get a few hours of rest and recover. Will be back at the protest site by evening.

@AtishiAAP @Wangchuk66 Less said the better

Geetanjali Angmo, wife of @Wangchuk66, says that protest at PM House lacked sincerity, and if they were sincere they would have joined hands with the protest at Jantar Mantar

@DCWDelhi have you seen this. @MahuaMoitra should be behind bars for this. I hope you take some strict action against this rogue masquerading as an MP @Annapurna4BJP do you have any powers at all? @AmitShah won’t you stand up for your forces?

@dpradhanbjp @narendramodi You are tone deaf, Dharmi. Keep it shut for a bit.

@RichaChadha It’s still only cockroaches and stone pelters

The protest is now bigger than those who started it… 🤌🏽 Cockroach hi kya, haathi, sher, ghoda, gilehari, titli, chidiya sab aa gaye ❤️

@abhijeet_dipke @Cockroachisback Keep pelting stones at the police and this will be you soon.

The strength of our movement lies in peace and nonviolence. Proud of every Cockroach Janta Party supporter who has shown remarkable resilience, courage, and patience despite the brutal crackdown by the Govt. We will win this with love and peace❤️

@abhijeet_dipke I will sleep now and when I wake up I’d like to see a picture of you on a flight back to Boston. Safe flight, Dipke.

Internet service shutdown at Jantar Mantar. Govt planning another brutal crackdown?

@abhijeet_dipke @Cockroachisback Wow even BJP voters don’t think Modi has so much power. You must be shi**ing bricks just listening to his name, no?

Cockroach Janta Party’s Instagram account has been taken down by Narendra Modi.

@iArpitSpeaks @bigbasket_com @ZeptoNow @ukhomeoffice this man sits in the UK and tries to spread unrest and confusion in India through a barrage of nonsensical content. Don’t make your land a breeding ground for terrorism- soft and hard.

Tried ordering Mask & Water at Jantar Mantar, but these apps suddenly do not deliver here!! Why?? @bigbasket_com @ZeptoNow

@SauravDassss @abhijeet_dipke @AshutoshRanka @Cockroachisback ‘ADDRESS THE PEOPLE’ Big boys, LabakDas and IITian Ranka

LOOK AT THE CROWD! This was Tolstoy Road/Sansad Marg at around 6 PM when me and @AshutoshRanka went there to address the people. @Cockroachisback

@annamalai_k Under the Big Banyan you had some respect. Leave the shade and you’ve lost your marbles. Shows how talent without strong ideological roots are absolutely useless

Over the past many years, I have taken a personal stand in support of the NEET examination, arguing that it brought uniformity in student selection across the country and gave students from underprivileged backgrounds a real shot at pursuing their dream of medical education. In the last 5 years, the NEET UG question paper has leaked thrice. Imagine the amount of pressure that it puts on students, who had to go through the examination process yet another time when the system that was supposed to bring in uniformity was failing. Yet there was no accountability, and I believe strongly that it was that moment that brought in a shift in the minds of the students to take to the streets to cry their hearts out. Protest is a fundamental right in a Democracy. The pertinent question, however, is this: why did the BJP-led Central Government take so long to initiate a dialogue with the protestors? Why was meaningful engagement delayed until the protest had escalated to a flashpoint? What kept you waiting? The students and the people who are leading them also have a responsibility here. It is natural that when a protest stays on for weeks, people with vested interests will take the stage to air views that are either completely irrelevant to the initial demands of the protests or would try to completely hijack it to serve their agenda. If you remain silent and let these people with vested interests further their agenda, then you are deviating from your core objectives. Please do not let it happen! I urge the BJP-led Central Government to engage in meaningful dialogue, uphold transparency, and take swift, appropriate action to address the concerns at hand. The strength of any nation lies in the confidence its youth place in its institutions. If our students lose faith in the fairness and credibility of our education system, we are jeopardising the future of our nation.

@nandiniv Jaishankar must resign 🙄

Hi. Who said the passport renewal process is a breeze now? Pls come find me. We need to talk.

@ShashiTharoor @INCIndia @RahulGandhi Yeah, try protesting is a high security zone with permanent restrictions again. Same treatment will be meted out. Cheap theatrics.

मेरा अज़्म इतना बुलंद है कि पराए शोलों का डर नहीं मुझे ख़ौफ़ आतश-ए-गुल से है ये कहीं चमन को जला न दे "My resolve is so high that I fear no external flames, I only fear the fire within the rose, lest it burn down the garden itself." ~ Shakeel Badayuni @INCIndia @RahulGandhi

If anything happens ONLY you will be responsible- Dipke, IITian Ranka and Das. The three of you and the head of conspiracy Kejriwal- anything happens to anyone you 3 are solely responsible. We are documenting your every move, every statement, every visitor. The country exactly know what you are up to.

As thousands stream into Jantar Mantar, @DelhiPolice has abandoned all security duties! Student volunteers are running checks at the front gate while the bag-scanning machine at the back gate has been quietly removed. Police are completely recklessly negligent. What exactly is being conspired by the Delhi Police? If Anything Happens At Jantar Mantar Delhi Police Will Be Responsible For It.

@abhijeet_dipke I’m sure Arvind would want to keep it running till the UP, Punjab and Gujarat elections are over.

I want to make it clear - this protest will not end until Dharmendra Pradhan is sacked by PM Modi. If the kisan andolan could go on for a year until they won, we will also not stop until we win! Jai Hind

@RahulGandhi asks, “Why is this happening to our students?’ It’s happening because you and the rest can’t win elections on your own and want to use unassuming students as body shields. Shame on you. #DharmendraPradhan #TumToChupHiRaho

dharmendra pradhan’s chatgpt prolly telling him that it's not your fault and that doesn’t make you a bad person

@PictureSporting Damn!! Where’s that Time Machine? War and all, I know, but don’t you want to watch that match!!

A lot of cricket was played in Egypt by Allied servicemen during WW2. Here spectators watch New Zealand take on South Africa at Gazira, Cairo, July 22nd 1943 (George Frederick Kaye)
