Some friends requested readable version of my interview with @timesofindia on how to #brand the #Nagpur orange

Why is the ECI through Kerala CEO issuing notice under Sec 79(3)(b) of the IT Act to @X to remove posts containing the letter released by them ? Didn’t ECI admit the letter to be a ‘clerical error’ ? Shouldn’t journalists have the right to report the ‘clerical error’ ? Why issue a take down order to X to remove the posts that too in the name of ‘transparency’ ?

Government running from answerability in Parliament- -No questions allowed on PMCARES, PMNRF & NDF -No response on whether govt used Pegasus spyware to target opposition leaders, activists & journalists. -Says no data available on deaths of manual scavengers, deaths due to oxygen shortage during COVID & attacks on whistle blowers. No data, No accountability, No democracy! Watch- youtube.com/watch?v=qr87bG…

A Danish scientist counted bugs on the same windshield, same road, same conditions, every year for 20 years. By year 20, 80% of the insects were gone. In Germany, a group of volunteer bug scientists did something even bigger. They set traps in 63 nature reserves, not farms, protected land, and weighed everything they caught. Same traps, same method, 27 years straight. The total weight of flying bugs dropped 76%. In midsummer, when insects should be peaking, it was 82% gone. A follow-up in 2020 and 2021 checked again. No recovery. In the UK, they literally ask drivers to count splats on their license plates after a trip. The 2024 count came back 63% lower than just 2021. Three years. A 2020 study pulled together 166 surveys from 1,676 locations around the world. Land insects are disappearing at roughly 9% every ten years. Here’s where it hits your plate. About 75% of the food crops we grow depend on insects to pollinate them, everything from apples to almonds to coffee. One 2025 study modeled what a full pollinator collapse would look like: food prices jump 30%, the global economy takes a $729 billion hit, and the world loses 8% of its Vitamin A supply. Birds are already feeling it. North America has lost 2.9 billion birds since 1970. A study from just weeks ago found half of 261 bird species on the continent are now in serious decline, and the losses are speeding up in farming regions. The birds that eat insects lost 2.9 billion. The birds that don’t eat insects? They gained 26 million. That ratio tells the whole story. One of the German researchers behind the 27-year study drives a Land Rover. He says it has the aerodynamics of a refrigerator. It stays clean now.

A film should truly be made on the life of Dr. Ganesh Bariya , GANESH BHAI MBBS. Born with dwarfism, his journey was never easy. When he was just a child in primary school, circus agents once offered his father ₹5 lakh to take him away. But his father refused. Instead of selling him to the world, he chose to educate him and stand by his dreams. Ganesh was brilliant in studies. He earned admission into medical college—but was rejected by the Medical Council simply because of his height. But destiny had other plans. In 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that denying him admission based on his physical stature was discrimination. That decision changed everything. He went on to complete his MBBS from Bhavnagar Medical College in Gujarat, and today, Dr. Ganesh proudly serves as a consultant doctor in the same hospital. From rejection to respect, from discrimination to dignity his story is not just inspiring, it’s a reminder that no dream is too big, and no person is too small to achieve it. Some stories deserve not just applause… but a

Sixth anniversary of this masterstroke...

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

🚨SHOCKING | In Panchkula’s Khair forest area, over 10,000 trees cut overnight using silent cutters. Silent cutters. Logs smuggled away. Stumps burned to hide evidence. A forest guard reported it… And got SUSPENDED. Now he sits alone, protesting for justice. This isn’t just deforestation. This is punishment for speaking the truth. 🌳 What kind of system silences the honest?

A violent, communal mob confronts an old man. One man stands up against the mob to protect his neighbor. And the Court berates that one man for asking the FIR against him to be squashed. And asks him to "trust" the very same police force that let the mob roam freely, terrorizing people with impunity in the first place. Thank you BJP, for turning Indian into this. That you injected this poison while chanting the names of assorted Hindu Gods is the real insult that we Indians conveniently overlook.

It was the afternoon of November 10, 1926. A house servant was slowly descending the stairs, tea kettle in hand, when a Hindustani sepoy barked a sharp command at him: "Kidhar jayega? Andar jao!" ​The tension broke a moment later. With a respectful salute to the Inspector and two more to the constable guarding the gate, the servant quietly slipped away on the pretext of fetching tea. The police had no inkling that, right under their noses, the undisputed leader of India’s armed revolution, Masterda Surya Sen, had just vanished into thin air. ​Whenever his comrades joked about his escape tactics, Masterda would smile and say, "We'll see. Those with physical strength and speed are often caught first. I’ll manage to slip away when the time is right." It was a profound truth. On more than one occasion, he evaded the police with such sharp wit, presence of mind, and raw courage that they were left looking foolish long after he was gone. ​That November day seemed ordinary, but Surya Sen sensed a shift in the air. He realized British forces had completely cordoned off the house. This wasn't his first close call. Back on October 25, 1924, police had surrounded his residence in Chittagong. That time, he had escaped through the gap of a latrine, disappearing into the dense, dark forest behind the house before they could lay a finger on him. ​This time, however, the stakes were higher. The house was swarming with a massive police contingent, and escape seemed impossible. Yet, he kept his cool. He stripped off his shirt and vest, cast aside his shoes, and grabbed a filthy, oil-stained towel hanging nearby to drape over his shoulder. He ruffled his hair, transforming himself into a lowly domestic worker. ​As he walked down the stairs with the kettle, a Hindustani constable blocked his path, shouting for him to go back inside. Masterda didn't panic. He took two steps back, offered a humble salute, and stammered, "The gentlemen upstairs want tea; they gave me money to fetch three cups." He even opened his palm to show the coins. ​The constable remained firm: "No need. Go back inside." Masterda hesitated just long enough to look convincing. A Bengali Inspector standing nearby glanced at the "servant" and told the soldier, "Let him go, Sepoy. He’s just the house help." Masterda offered a final salute to the officer and two more to the constable. He walked out of that gate to "fetch tea" and never looked back. ​This was the man who would eventually lead the legendary Chittagong Armoury Raid against British imperialism. His philosophy of armed resistance and his unwavering grit ignited a new fire in the hearts of India’s youth. Masterda Surya Sen finally walked to the gallows with a smile, sacrificing his life for the dream of a free nation. Today, on the birth anniversary of this great revolutionary leader, we honor his legacy.

You didn’t buy the book for information. You bought it for identity. That version of you who reads, improves, and grows. And owning the book feels close enough to becoming that person. That’s why the next one is already on your list.

Shoring up hard-evidence to conclusively prove wrong-doing is what journalism was meant to be. Not, shooting accusations and counter-accusations. This is exactly what @alokrajput781 does in his latest investigation. Pierces through the noise to produce records of how the current JNU vice chancellor was earlier indicted for a recruitment scam. And, how that was overlooked by the Union gov't to hire her to the prestigious post. Such reportage requires some courage and a lot of time-consuming due diligence.

How did a professor, Ms Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit, once punished for irregularities in recruitment become the VC of the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) ? @alokrajput781 digs out the documents for @reporters_co to trace her ascent. 1/2 reporters-collective.in/trc/jnu-appoin…

That man was a true marketing genius, genuinely admire him. And thanks to you many more will now know his story 🙏🏻🤗
