@prempanicker Please restart your posts on Substack. It's been a while.

@contentmani Not likely, despite all of that.

We will get them bail and provide VIP darshan at Ayodhya and Varanasi, he could have said with more truth

@prempanicker Aap ke mooh mein ghee, shakkar. Or puran poli. Happy Ugadi and Gudi Padwa. Hope these seasons bring us some break from crises. Barring the politicians, mafia, capitalists, RW ideologues and businesses, who comprise perhaps 1-2% of the world population, we deserve a break.

@nimishdubey So true. Why does everything, literally everything boil down to dirty politics? Why, when, how did we slip into being such a cheap and amoral society? I can't for the life of me figure this out. Imponderables.

And Ashwin has raised a very important point. “Fan following” in cricket Twitter (especially in India) has become very similar to political twitter - you take a side and curse everyone else, and propagate aggressive nonsense. There are very few cricket conversations or discussions or arguments, but there are a lot of fights.

@ushrit2020 You're a Hindu man. That's enough.

What rule applies to atheists like me, who might visit Badri-Kedar out of sheer curiosity, or as reluctant escorts to devout spouses?

@65thakursahab @narendramodi @RSSorg @pradyutbordoloi Can we also safely assume that "people of Assam" will vote for him and he'll be victorious? We are now a fascist nation and elections are a farce and people seem to be thriving in fascism. We are a F***ed country.

Can we safely assume @narendramodi & @RSSorg the mother organization of the BJP, have converted BJP into the most corrupt political party of independent India ? @pradyutbordoloi , after a few day's will of course learn to live with his contradictions.

@jawharsircar @90 And you should do a comparison of how Iran's supply of oil in INR and with 60 days of credit and at unbelievably low prices was abandoned and we agreed to purchase Venezuelan oil or others at higher prices. Does the common Indian citizen know or care?

56 inch Vishwaguru allowed USA to end India's purchase of Russian crude @ $50 a barrel! Now, he's been OFFICIALLY ALLOWED by the US to buy the same Russian oil @90 a barrel. Which Congress PM grovelled before the USA like this? The nation wants to know.

@GuptaPragnya Life is cheap. Votes are cheaper. And values are non existent.

🚨 SHOCKING & SHAMELESS! 🚨 299 Crore “Green Corridor” Collapses in Just 3 Days: BJP’s Deadly Scam on Taxpayers’ Blood Money Just THREE DAYS after Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and UP CM Yogi Adityanath grandly inaugurated the second phase of Lucknow’s Green Corridor with full fanfare and photo-ops… the brand-new road has already CAVED IN‼️ A massive crater has formed near Hanuman Setu to Nishatganj. The stretch that was supposed to cut travel time from 30 minutes to 10 minutes now has a 5-foot-deep sinkhole. This is not an “accident”. This is criminal negligence and likely deep-rooted corruption. How does a ₹299 crore road (part of the overall ₹1,519 crore Green Corridor project) collapse within 72 hours of inauguration⁉️ Sewer pipeline “suddenly” burst? Soil erosion? Or was it substandard material, zero quality checks, and contractor kickbacks — the classic BJP infrastructure formula we’ve seen again and again? While the common man is being BRUTALLY TAXED — record GST, fuel cess, inflation eating salaries — crores of his hard-earned money are being flushed down the drain on roads that can’t even survive three days. This wasn’t just a road. This was a potential death trap. One heavy vehicle, one rainy day, or one distracted driver and it could have turned into a MASSIVE LETHAL ACCIDENT — families wiped out, lives destroyed. We escaped by sheer luck. All talk, no substance. Grand inaugurations, tall claims, zero accountability. This is exactly what the BJP stands for — hollow development, zero governance, and absolute shamelessness. The same government that lectures the nation on “Viksit Bharat” can’t even build a road that lasts a week. People’s money is not a game. Enough is enough. @rajnathsingh @myogioffice @nitin_gadkari #YogiAdityanath #GreenCorridorScam #BJPFailure #TaxpayerLoot #LucknowCollapse #RajnathYogiShame #CorruptionExposed #AllTalkNoSubstance

@ranjona I really like her. And of course @MSNOWNews seems very anti establishment. @CBSNews also is tough on the orange faced blathering and blubbering idiot. We are a different species. Humara aap poochna, sochna, ya ummeed rakhna band kar dijiye. Kuch nahin hone wala, for sure.

You listen to Rachel Maddow on MSNOW and you know for sure that mainstream TV news does not exist in India. Because she's not listing Joe Biden's shortcomings. She's going for the current guy. Whatever his name is.

@ranjona Yup. Whatever floats her boat.

This CM lady has her priorities right, no?

@ajay43 Moot point - will any of the 3 nations stop evisceration and when? We want this war to stop now. Today. Bas. Thank you.

Once every country negotiates with Iran to get it’s ships through Hormuz, Trump will realise that he is indeed alone in this misadventure,

@nimishdubey So bloody agree. I think humans need and deserve a break from ourselves and our depraved, debased minds. Come on folks! Let's just try and be good and humane and loving and compassionate. It doesn't cost much. (But being hateful, murderous or evil doesn't cost much either).

Am sick and tired of some sections of the media and humanity.

@Sydusm So true. It's a quandary. Between heart and mind, reality and dystopia, a maybe and 'of course not', hope and hopelessness.

At times, you think you're being paranoid if you start preparing for a zero-gas zero-petrol tomorrow. Other times, you think you're foolish not to be ready for an imminent future. Then you roll over and sleep.

@SHEKARSUSHEEL Fantastic piece of trivia. Another fave. It's just soulful. The movie didn't do well, the songs did and today both are part of the cult classics.

the duo Shiv-Hari. The soulful lyrics were penned by Javed Akhtar. While both versions are famous, Lata Mangeshkar's rendition is known for its slow, melodic, and melancholic mood.

My Top Songs. 110. Silsila 1981 The 'Dard' that Lataji and Rekha bring to the song is incredible. One can feel it. It's that real. The tune of the song was not originally composed for the film. It was spontaneously composed by actor Shammi Kapoor years earlier while Contd...

@SHEKARSUSHEEL Mine too. That tune and that musical arrangement. Wow! What is that instrument which makes that particular sound which cannot be described. It's probably the roll and heave and sounds your stomach makes when empty.

My Top Songs. B & W. 107. Pyaasa 1957 S.D. Burman used a Khol (a Bengali percussion instrument) and played it upright with Chinese temple blocks to create a unique rhythm, breaking away from traditional tabla/dholak setups. Fabulous singing by Geeta Dutt. Lyrics Sahir. Contd...

Open Letter to the 84 Former Bureaucrats and Senior Advocates Dear Esteemed Signatories, Your open letter lambasting Rahul Gandhi for "sitting on the steps of Parliament having tea and biscuits" is a masterclass in misplaced outrage. Demanding an apology for a cup of chai and snacks? Let that sink in, while India grapples with huge corruption among government officers, you're fixated on this theatrical trivia. Imagine if you'd channeled this energy into an open letter demanding accountability for the brazen graft eroding our institutions: the kickbacks, nepotism, and unchecked looting by those in power. Bureaucrats wielding authority for personal gain, not public good. That's the cancer killing democracy, not a politician's having chai on the steps of Parliament. Instead, you've diverted citizens' attention from real rot, squandered your association's productive time, and handed optics to the corrupt and your masters. We crave leaders who confront systemic evil, not nitpick trivial issues. Redirect your moral compass, write an open letter India needs on corruption and other issues. Chai pe outrage karo, bhrashtachar ko chhupao na, Sachchai ki roshni mein, andheron ko dikhlao na. Bureaucrats, jaago! Kal se pehle, sach bolo zara, Desh ki sewa karo, na ki tamashe ka mela sajao na. By A Concerned Citizen

@ranjona It has to sink further. Crises are when the anchors lose their jobs or they don't get cooking gas or fuel, or their kids don't get food in schools. When their driver, cook, maids and security guards come to them for help. Yes the media hasn't scraped the bottom of the barrel. Yet

What will it take for the Indian media to wake up to tge suffering of the people? I agree. Don't hold your breath. I ✍️ mxmindia.com/news/time-for-…
