@gauravsabnis A foodie who is a foodie because they eat biryanis and dosas. That’s a real foodie! 🤔

"I'm a foodie" as a reason to leave the US and move back to India is for me the surest sign that he made the right decision for himself and for the US.
If you think American food is just PB&J & burgers, you'll be happiest back in your hometown.
Not everyone can be an immigrant.

@amitvarma A good host and a good guest make for a good podcast episode. Another TSATU gem!

To understand modern India, we must understand the history of Hindutva.
That history shaped these present times.
Vinayak Chaturvedi joins me in episode 385 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss his life as a historian — & his seminal book on Savarkar: seenunseen.in/episodes/2024/….

This sort of simplistic calculation is unhelpful Maharashtra does not “give” tax to anybody.Taxes are collected nationally and distributed nationally.
But it’s a fair Q to ask
Why does UP receive 30 times more than Maharashtra?
See below:
Rajdeep Sardesai@sardesairajdeep
For every one rupee Maharashtra gives Centre, it gets back Rs 0.08 paise, Karnataka gets Rs 0.15 paise, Gujarat gets Rs 0.28 paise, TN Rs 0.29 paise, while UP gets Rs 2.73 and Bihar gets Rs 7.06. At some stage, ‘penalising’ states for better demographic and economic performance was always going to become an issue. That most of these states are south of the Vindhyas and are opposition ruled gives their demands a political edge. Plus flood hit oppn ruled states like HP and TN and drought hit Karnataka claim their relief funds delayed. Bengal claims MNREGA funds denied. Don’t also forget that when Mr Modi was CM, he claimed the then UPA govt was discriminating against Gujarat. Where you stand depends on where you sit! 16th finance commission will have to find a more acceptable solution for genuine Co-operative federalism to be more than just a slogan . 🙏

@gauravsabnis I remember telling my ‘colony’ friends in Mumbai that SL would win. I got called all sorts of names including the T word that ends in ist. When they won, it was apparently my ‘panvati’!

Anyone who remembers 1990s cricket vividly will remember that at least in subcontinent conditions, 1996 was a time when Sri Lanka could beat both India and Pakistan on most days. They just had their best players peaking as ours were declining.
SL hasn't achieved that since.

Cricket World Cup memories over the years
1983 - so faint that I'm not sure if they are real or retrofitted, given I was barely 3
1987 - mostly clear. Clearest being I told my mom Sunny would score a century before going to school. His only ever ODI century. ❤️

@amitvarma @ajay_shah I appreciate the insights as always but I was left wondering about the romanticisation of the west, EU and NATO. There’s not just one bad actor at play here. Amit, I’d urge you to bring on a guest to examine the culpability of these forces in the rise of Russia as a bad actor.

The war in Ukraine seems distant — but it affects us all in countless unseen ways.

Essential listening!

Can you think of songs where the famous original artist is not the most associated with it in the public mind.
Like man who sold the world is linked more to nirvana than Bowie. Nothing compares to Sinead than Prince. I will always to Whitney Houston than Dolly Parton.

There's an adult conversation to be had about our public broadcaster, but CBC is not the enemy of Canadians, and it's not state media. To say otherwise says more about you than it says about the CBC. thestar.com/opinion/star-c…

🔷 No Cool-Down
After each run, I’d go right back to sitting on the couch.
• No stretching
• No breath-work
• No transition period
Cooling down helps your body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate return to normal levels.
Prepare your body for recovery.

@TTCnotices I took the eastbound from Ossington back to union to take the Go to get to Kipling. Stampede like situation at Ossington and utter confusion and lack of direction. Ridiculous service. Waited an hour for shuttle bus in the freezing cold. @TTCnotices

Heartbreaking to see this visual. So many happy memories of Rang Bhavan. Many Indy Rocks, Jethro Tull, Zakir Hussain, and so much else over the years.
It is now a symbol of everything that is wrong with and rotten about the country and its laws.

Mom: Your tithi birthday is coming up (birthday according to the Hindu lunar calendar)
Me: Yup
Mom: Always easy to remember. Your tithi bday is Rakshabandhan
Me: Nope. Narali Pournima.
Mom: Same
Me: Not to me. Narali Pournima is a science based real thing.

Managed to snag a lone copy of Nina’s Journey from the Toronto Public Library system. Timely and topical. Thanks @Schandillia and @amitvarma. Show notes are helping me rebuild a library in a far away land.
