David Heine interview with Mary Roy, Mother of Arundhati Roy, on God of Small Things (1997) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb0o...

"By then I had learned the hard way that every emotion, relationship, good intention -theirs as well as mine - would be trumped by the addicts' craving for whatever they were addicted to. I knew that the only thing to do was to withhold judgement, and, if possible, hope,

How much was spent on Modi traveling for Ayodhya flag hoisting ceremony? When did we last hear of a temple having flag hoisting ceremony? How many meetings has Prime Minister or environment minister attended on pollution in national capital (forget about rest of the country)?

Reminder that the temple is built by destroying another religious structure and also several dead bodies that marked rath yatra. Also the case couldn't be accepted in court initially on technicality that Ram was non-existent, Ram had not filed his petition himself.

The way Delhi people start complaining about air pollution as winter starts is almost like they only visit Delhi for its famed winters. Baaki time vich toh saare Europe mein rehte 🐏

Multiple forensic agencies known across the world have stated with proof that Indian police forged evidence, planted files onto computers of what are referred to as Bhima-Koregaon 16 arrested for allegedly planning to kill Narendra Modi.

Only important question is, How many air purifiers does Mr Modi use? And are they made in India?

Had a lovely meal at the women-run Mahim Koliwada Seafood Plaza, which just reopened post-monsoon. Great view, inquisitive but polite cats, and excellent fresh crab, prawn, pomfret and many more. Worth a visit!

कभी कभी सोचता हूँ रामराज्य में air purifiers तो थे नहीं तो शायद तब के लोग ऐसी ही हवा का सेवन करते थे और जल्द ही स्वर्ग-नर्क की प्राप्ति भी कर लेते थे। दिल्लीवालों को रामराज्य की अनुभूति कलियुग में कराना ये तो फक्र की बात है जो राम को लाने वाले युगपुरुष मोदी जी ही सम्भव कर सकते थे 🔥 (1/n)

So Sridhar Vembu the billionaire who does not want Indians to take vaccines also adviced people earlier to drink cow urine to cure diseases... What a man on mission to get us to stone ages 🔥🙏 www.thenewsminute.com/podcasts/sou...

IIRC Duolingo had to hire back because AI didn't work as well as they believed.

When Milind Soman ran naked on a Goan beach years ago, I remember asking myself: would he have done that in his hometown of Dadar? Or in Kerala, or Odisha? Probably not. Something about Goa makes people think transgression is harmless here. scroll.in/article/1088...

Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski said company was able to shrink its head count by about 40%, in part because of AI. Duolingo said it’ll stop using contractors for work that AI can handle. Salesforce laid off 4,000 customer support roles, saying that AI can do 50% of the work at the company.

Has Pragya Singh Thakur and Sanatan Sanstha condemned the Delhi Blasts? Will the terrorists if they are caught get bails on medical grounds like Thakur and tickets from RSS-BJP?

Chalo they now have 'proper' reason to stop any protests in Delhi.

Every bit of what this gentleman is saying.

Gaza health officials say that over 69,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war so far. www.thehindu.com/news/interna...

All along history wage labor or working for wages or renting yourself to some money has been seen as belittling one's dignity or seen as bad... That is, until capitalism came along. The language to glorify or make it seem ideal form of work started post it.

While pizzas originated in Italy, what we consume as Pizzas now in which one could dive and sink into are more of American creation with their hallmark excesses. In Italy they're sparsely dressed flatbreads.

Musk Wins $1 Trillion Pay Package @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will need apparently 10 billion to fulfill his promises. One trillion is equal to 1,000 billion. So Zohran will need 1 per cent of Musk's pay package. That's the oligarchy and obscene inequality he fought and won against.

Forget #VoteChori Election Commission of India is yet to comment on Modi's 2024 election speeches, where he sought votes on religion, which is against the rules as per the EC and also the Supreme Court. When asked by Newslaundry, the EC had said "Decline Comment". www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqbP...

will be interested to see if he continues to make this his method of communication with voters (and if the participatory stuff that marked his campaign continues through his administration)

Indian armed forces commit incredible violence against its own citizens. Such violence would not be tolerated forget permitted in any civilized world. Yet we claim we are an ancient civilization. We are still barbaric in our ways. We lack compassion and empathy. caravanmagazine.in/media/sajad-...

I have a radical solution for Delhi's toxic air that I guarantee will solve the air pollution issue immediately when implemented. Bulldoze the PM and CM aavaas and build a temple to Ram grander than Ayodhya. Rays from temple's Shikhar will cleanse the air.

TIL Akshardham temple is built on Yamuna flood plain and was first structure built on its floodplain that kind of legitimized floodplain construction and ultimately contributed to unclean or death of river.

America is the reason why many natives do not want to live in their birth countries, for instance it is American weapon and money that's making Palestinians seek refuge outside their lands. Or many countries which are devastated by US directly or by its puppet states like Israel.

Prime Influencer is either campaigning or out on his international travel. Everything else is a monkey bath and us suffering.

Has Mr Modi who works 18 hours a day as Prime Minister taken leave of absence from his elected job while he's full time campaigning in Bihar? Is RSS-BJP funding his campaign and security cover while he campaigns for them or are taxpayers funding BJP's star campaigner?

Fascism defines what constitutes as people, and its definition is narrow wherein it excludes more and more. At the opposite end is the idea that all people are our own. There are no lesser people including criminals. You have to work towards bringing them into our community.

In a civilized world where people care they do everything in their power to not cut trees. If you travel outside India you'll even see whole lot of beautiful architecture and even roads that manage to accommodate existing trees and build around it.

Do Indians have right to know how many air purifiers Modi use in his bedroom? Which brand and model? How much are we paying so he breathes fresh air while contributing to politics that generates toxic air??
