New on the blog: An evening discovering the legacy of Tulsidas at Tulsi Ashram in Varanasi:->> reflectionsofpassions.blogspot.in/2018/04/discov… #Tulsidas #Varanasi #TTOT #TravelBlog #TravelBlogger

One cannot even imagine what the slum demolitions in Delhi's Turkman Gate must have been like in June, 1975.. Even watching it in "Indu Sarkar" sent shivers down my spine..

@anuradha_author Many congratulations, Anuradhaji! Well deserved success.

Elated: Lecture series on Chapter 1 of Shiva Samhita that I edited is out tnx to MLBD. Chapter is an Advaita Vedanta gem in a Hatha Yoga text. Priceless chapter as it also organises Sanatana Dharma teachings ahead of explaining Self. Pls read and comment

It's been 3 years since @Sai_swaroopa became a self-published author. So far she has published 3 successful books. That's an average of 1 book a year. That's the power of self-publishing. Congratulations Sai! Eagerly waiting for your next awesome story.

Kannagi Statue at the Marina Beach, Chennai: Kannagi, the woman wronged. She cursed Madurai and burnt down the city. What a valorous tale! Her transition from an innocent woman to the fierce woman inspires womanhood.

@ravsriram @_viju @blrcitytraffic @CMofKarnataka Agreed.. Much lesser traffic and it's better than being stuck in India's biggest parking lot.

@_viju @blrcitytraffic @CMofKarnataka Nee Chennai ku vandhudu Sivaji

No hope for a faster commute on Outer Ring Road even at 12noon! Sigh! @blrcitytraffic @CMofKarnataka

@aparanjape @subodhbhave @anandbhate7 @ksinamdar What a brilliant film and what music by @ksinamdar .. Wonder if the magic can be recreated again..

The film won 3 National Awards (including the one for best playback singer for Anand Bhate for "Chinmaya Sakala Hridaya..." ...amazing song!).

Today is the 130th birth anniversary of the legendary #Marathi stage actor and singer Narayan Shripad Rajhans (popularly known as #Balgandharva). According to Pu La Deshpande, Balgandharva was among the most loved personalities of Maharashtra.

@MihirBijur Bulls, Bears and Other Beasts by Santosh Nair:

Looking for some non-fiction books for my kindle. The last I read was 'Sapiens', and the one before was 'Empire Of Fear' to give an example. Any suggestions? #BookClub

@iwrotethose Yes, I don't even need a geyser here.. I was someone who couldn't take bath without hot water. The sun does it naturally here

@daredevilakshay Oh, Chennai Sun is relentless in its pursuit to heat up everything in its path.

It's pushing 30°C in #London today and all I can think of is how quickly the washed clothes dried today. #heatwave #JustBritishThings

@Dr_Me_Shi Many congratulations!

Dr. Maheshi Chhaya. MBBS, MD. Officially!

@NVaishanav @rveda Shit, so bad.. This is under the Freeway, I believe? Gautam Nagar?

#Aamchimumbai #MumbaiRains #MumbaiPlasticBan #Mumbai Citizens will be punished with Rs. 5000 if seen carrying plastic bag. Good decision But what is the punishment for municipal corporation and corporators if you see potholes in the roads... 😒😒

@OnlyAnamika I wish... Used to get chhuttis.. It's not even raining in Chennai. Just cloudy weather since morning.

@daredevilakshay Wow, you got a chhutti from office? That’s so cool! I’m still on the train on my way to work. :(

Getting Monday off due to the rains was one of the best reasons for the Mumbai Rains.. Having said that, rains elsewhere lack the character the Mumbai Rains have..

@BargainBookHut Yes, thank you.. Here's hoping you too will have a good week ahead :)

@daredevilakshay Yes Akshay you may write to us at sales@bargainbookhut.com Thanks and have a good day

@BargainBookHut: Hi! I need to write to you.. Is sales your email address where I can drop an email?

@thenewsminute I'd blame reclaiming lakes for real estate as a significant reason that contributes to the water shortage. Also, lack of vision in solving the Kaveri issue.

India’s colonial legacy almost caused Bengaluru to run out of water thenewsminute.com/article/india-…

रानी दुर्गावती के बलिदान को कभी भुलाया न जा सकेगा। उन्होंने 15 साल शासन किया और उस दौरान उन्होंने जो तालाब बनवाया, सराय बनवाई, लोगों की जिंदगी को सरल बनाने के लिए जो काम किया, वह आज भी अविस्मरणीय है: सीएम

मुगल बादशाह ने रानी दुर्गावती की ओर नजर डाली तो उसके दांत खट्टे कर दिए गए। हमने भी तय किया है कि जो बेटियों की तरफ बुरी नज़र डालेगा, उसे फांसी की सजा मिलेगी: मुख्यमंत्री

Rani Durgavati was an embodiment of women empowerment. We have started countless schemes for welfare of women in the state. We also made a reservation of 50% for women in every state govt. dept except forest: CM

वीरांगना रानी दुर्गावती महिला सशक्तिकरण की प्रतीक हैं। मैं हर कार्यक्रम की शुरुआत कन्या पूजन के साथ करता हूँ। हमने भी महिला सशक्तिकरण के लिए कई योजनाएं शुरू की हैं: मुख्यमंत्री
