@ANI Basic photojournalism tip: Always put out a good (pref high res) picture in the post/news. People here are curious only about the types of coffee gifted. An unclear photograph is a turn off.

@kaushikcbasu Sir, check Flygo and Tripr jackets.

@aravind A country has all the right to suspect people of other countries. But to suspect your own citizens, that too each one of them, and asking them to prove would be a bit awkward. Isn’t it?

[Manoj K Arora @Arora1K]

@Ayush90588474 Totally incorrect. Chandigarh has the strictest building bye laws in India and no violations are allowed. As a result there’s no unwarranted construction of any kind. Unlike most urban areas where violations are ignored.

@PankajPachauri But there is a ban on use of imported ethanol for blending with petrol.

@madanmo95322469 Please share full video or the name of the lady in the video.

@churumuri @IndianExpress @_YogendraYadav There’s a variety native to NCR region in western UP and adjacent Haryana. Ratual. Comes only for a week or less. Beats all regular varieties. Among those, Imam Pasand and Himsagar are absolute winners.

@SHEKARSUSHEEL I think the best chaand song, strictly not a film song but attributed to a film personality, was sung by Meena kumari. Chaand Tanha Hai.

[Manoj K Arora @Arora1K]

@SHEKARSUSHEEL @AshokRawat59138 Another brilliantly composed and sung number on chaand was ftom 1955 film Railway Platform. Nalini Jaywant. Lata. Madan Mohan

@mayurshetty01 Utter nonsense. He shifted biz to India so he had GST and a bank A/C. CHAs are already registered with Customs. Getting an IEC code is fully online. He just needed an IEC code. Rest whatever he is saying is imaginary.

131-page Supreme Court judgment.
32 mentions reinforcing the Animal Birth Control Rules.

1 line permitting euthanasia for rabid or mortally wounded dogs - and that becomes the headline.

Clickbait thrives on fear. The law doesn’t.

The architecture of today’s order: ABC Rules upheld, one ABC centre per district mandated, every High Court on compliance watch.

This reinforces what has always been the only humane and scientific framework:
Sterilise. Vaccinate. Return.

Let’s keep our focus where it needs to be.

[Manoj K Arora @Arora1K]

@gauri_maulekhi Is there a possibility of filing a curative petition so that the Court can expunge the reference to “Animal” and maybe frame their view differently ?

The Indian Kitchen Pantry: Where Labels Go to Retire

Every container has a past life. None of them remember it.

If you've ever opened a "Rao's Tomato Basil" jar in an Indian household and found avakai pickle staring back at you , welcome. You understand.

The Indian kitchen pantry operates on a single, unshakeable principle: the label is a suggestion, not a fact. That peanut butter jar? Hing. The instant coffee container? Haldi. The fancy blue canister that says "It's a brand new day"? It's rava. It's been rava since 2019. Nobody questions it.

The Oral Tradition of Kitchen Navigation

There is no written map. The inventory exists entirely as tribal knowledge, passed down through phone calls and shouted instructions from the living room.

"The jeera is in the green lid one."

"Which green lid?"

"Not THAT green lid. The other one. Behind the Bournvita tin that has sugar in it."

You don't learn this system. You absorb it over years. And just when you've finally memorized which unmarked container holds what — the in-laws visit.

The Great Rearrangement

They arrive with love. They arrive with good intentions. They arrive with a deep, spiritual need to reorganize your kitchen.

"Beta, I arranged everything properly."

Translation: Nothing is where you left it. The things you used daily are now on the highest shelf "so it looks neat." Your spices are sorted by a system only they understand, possibly alphabetical in a language you don't cook in. That one drawer you had in perfect functional chaos? It now has categories.

And you can't say a word. Because they spent two hours on it. With love. Probably while also making you tea and three snacks you didn't ask for.

So you smile. You say "thank you, it looks great!" And then you spend the next three weeks conducting smell tests across four identical unmarked containers trying to find the chai patti.

The In-Law Contributions

No visit is complete without additions to the pantry. A jar of *their* special pickle.

A bag of chakli. Some homemade powder that "you won't get in stores." A masala blend with no name, no recipe, and no expiry date — just vibes and legacy.

These items arrive in recycled containers, naturally. A Kissan jam jar. A protein powder tub.

A Costco cashew container that now holds a mysterious brown powder that could be garam masala or could be chai masala. Only one way to find out. (Spoiler: it was neither. It was some aunt's secret sambhar powder.)

The Circle of Life

Eventually, the pantry returns to its natural state of beautiful chaos. Labels remain meaningless. Containers find their true purpose. You develop muscle memory again.

Just in time for the next visit.

Every Indian home's kitchen tells the same story. The containers change. The truth remains: you will never, ever find the methi when you need it.*

@AshishSinghLIVE @airindia I am sure you would have seen videos of baggage handling at airports. Moral: Only use soft suitcases for checked in luggage. Hard luggage - Polycarbonate, Polypropylene or ABS - none can withstand their handling.

@GO2Peak DM with details please

A landmark for India: @ndmaindia releases the National Guidelines on Animal-inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction.

Sincere gratitude to Hon’ble HM Shri @AmitShah ji and NDMA for embedding animal welfare into India’s disaster framework - across farmed animals, companion animals, community animals & wildlife, and every phase of a disaster.

Key features:
• Veterinary Emergency Response Units (VERUs)
• ⁠Provision for creation of shelters and relief camps
• Standardised SOPs for rescue, evacuation and rehabilitation
• Integrated with Disaster Management Act 2025 and disaster management plans across states and UTs
• ⁠World’s first disaster guidelines to cover fish welfare

@PFAppf is proud to have assisted in the development of this critical national instrument.

Our real work begins now - translating these guidelines into trained responders, equipped VERUs, and prepared communities across every State and UT.

We remain committed to walking this road with @ndmaindia and partners.

No being left behind. 🇮🇳

@SHEKARSUSHEEL The film had a beautiful Asha number. Pyar Ka Vatan Yahi. Of course, Suchitra Sen looks stunning.

@SHEKARSUSHEEL @Upjeet7 Here is the song. The above video is the prelude. Composed by C Ramchandra.
