This is the state of the footpath leading to the 391 bus stop,Mulund station. A disaster in the making.
Space between bus stop boundary and adjacent compound wall is a mosquito haven.

Plastic plays a crucial role in this 'natural' endeavour.

@neetakolhatkar @theliverdrALT And to think that Bhagwan is prayed to for conferring good health.
The Universal Driving Force is given lots of utterly unrequired worldly goods. Then said offerings get misappropriated.

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read.

In Finland, charging fees for tuition is illegal, which means rich kids have to mix with normal kids. That means rich families had to make sure the schools their children attended were good, which in turn prompted the wealthy to invest in public education.
Finland, take a bow.

Similar experience at Matheran Post Office. But the staffer obligingly offered us 2 postcards he stamped with the toy train. An actual toy train stamp had been issued in the previous decade, we have since learnt. A place famed for its scenic points but no stamps & postcards.

Even four months later, post offices in Fort Kochi and Mattancherry remain without picture postcards.

As you know, it is a tradition among many travellers, especially foreigners, to send a postcard home from places that you visit. They are keepsakes to remind you of the journey, the memorable experiences that you had, etc.

Fort Kochi's post office is in itself an iconic building with a lot of history. So many travellers arrive here hoping to find a picture postcard. Sadly, there's none.

They are redirected to other shops, or must make do with a normal postcard. In doing so, the Post is losing a lot of revenue, and the region, an opportunity to sell itself.

I'm looking for people who can assist in making the picture postcards available at these post offices before the next tourism season. Do get in touch.

Came across an insecure guy's post saying, "Never marry a girl who can't cook and clean."
Bold of him to announce to the internet that he can't feed himself or wash his underwear.

Unpopular opinion: Learn to cook and clean yourself. It's called adulthood.

They can't seem to tell that the fridge needs to be unplugged and defrosted.

Pareidolia is a phenomenon wherein people perceive likenesses on random images—such as faces, animals, or objects on clouds and rock formations. It's not a disorder or disease. But our country has gone a bit further and that is a huge problem.

[Geeta Bhagat @GeetGayaisolate]

@neetakolhatkar Why doesn't this tendency redirect them to clean up pavitra but now polluted nadiyaan and stop littering, I always wonder.

Science has no explanation for them clearly …

Environmental activist and former IIT professor G. D. Agrawal died after a 111-day hunger strike in 2018, demanding stronger legal protection for the Ganga River.

Neither the media covered his protest nor did the government listen to him.

@JhoneeEM @RockyEatsX Hey Bhagwan!

Where’s the rain ?
Have you seen a July this dry ? June left us parched.

If you meet someone who boasts that ‘arre transplant kar rahe hain na ped, green cover, sapling, goo goo ga ga’ remind them of science.

Tell them trees are the real thirst trap for clouds. You cut trees, you lose your monsoon.

A wise nurse once told me, it's the new mother who needs the most mothering.

[Devina Mehra @devinamehra]

My mother, who is now in her nineties, had always told me that there is prepartum care but there is no postpartum care at least in the Indian medical system

That was my experience too

In spite advocating for myself, my obvious post preganancy diastasis rectii (separation of stomach muscles) was overlooked by two top gynecologists in Mumbai

If they had even referred me to a physiotherapist at stage I would not have at least aggravated the situation (for example, stomach crunches are not to be done in the condition, but I did not know that)

The prepartum care is because the system cares about the baby, not about the woman

[রাজ শেখর @DiscourseDancer]

Just so silly. Everyone knows that two tribes the Iyer and the Iyengar left the modern India and settled in a far off island.

Overtime Iyer-land became the modern Ireland while the Iyengar-land overtime became Iyengland and then lost the IY and is now known as England.

@neetakolhatkar More like dirty secret.

[Geeta Bhagat @GeetGayaisolate]

So that's the scary secret?

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

This is what happens if you take a cotton swab into Victoria’s Secret, swab a pair of underwear and do a test for growing bacteria

This should horrify every woman in America

The reason for this is Victoria’s Secret allows customers to try on lingerie, bras, underwear, everything

So you never know who might have tried this on before you…..

Keep in mind I was able to verify on their website they want you to provide your own underwear or liner if you are trying on underwear, however there is no way to really enforce that once you’re in there… it’s pretty much the honor system

ALWAYS wash before wearing……

My Amma told me such people were addressed by the honorific ‘Chakravartiʼ.

On a quiet road in Ayodhya, a heartbreaking tragedy in 1992 sparked one of the most powerful legacies of human compassion India has ever seen.
​Meet Mohammad Sharif, fondly known as Sharif Chacha. He was a humble bicycle mechanic who, for decades, performed the last rites for over 25,000 unclaimed and unidentified bodies. Sharif Chacha ensured that these unfortunate strangers didn't leave for their heavenly abode feeling unloved.
​Like most of us, he was just an ordinary guy,he never had a grand plan to become a messiah for the forgotten. But in 1992, his eldest son, Raees Khan, disappeared on his way to Sultanpur. Sharif Chacha frantically searched for him for an agonizing month. The search came to a devastating halt when he discovered his son’s body near a railway track, partially devoured by stray animals.
​That intense trauma led him to take a sacred vow - no human being should ever be denied a dignified farewell.
​For the next 30 years, Chacha routinely visited hospitals, railway stations, police stations, and mortuaries. If a body remained unclaimed after 72 hours, he stepped in to become their family. Before performing the last rites, he always meticulously researched the background of the deceased. If they were Hindu, he arranged a traditional cremation; if they were Muslim, he ensured a proper burial.
​Managing these expenses on the meager income from his bicycle repair shop was a constant struggle. Financial woes were his regular companion. Whenever his pockets were empty, he relied on donations from locals and loved ones to cover the costs of shrouds, wood, and burial grounds.
​For years, he operated completely in the shadows. Many even dismissed his devotion as pure madness. Ultimately, the television show Satyamev Jayate forced people sitting comfortably in their living rooms to take note of his work. In 2020, the Government of India officially conferred him with the Padma Shri award.
​People like Sharif Chacha are incredibly rare in today’s world. He proved that true humanity isn't found in grand speeches or under the flash of camera lights, sometimes, it’s found in the dark, lonely, impoverished corner of a bicycle shop. By holding the hands of those abandoned by the world and giving them a dignified final journey, Sharif Chacha quietly triumphed over petty communal politics.

No. 4 is the most worrisome.

I am not a hands-on dad when it comes to the school curriculum, but I make sure to attend every PTM, if I am in town. It sends a message to the teachers that you care and are involved in the child's upbringing. Otherwise, they may not put in effort either.

But there are many other things I pick up during that hour, including meeting 5-6 teachers.

1. Feedback from teachers on behavior. If there is a common theme, it is worth paying attention to.

2. The teachers my 8 YO is keen to meet and the ones she shows reluctance to - could be a function of the teacher and/or the subjects she likes. Helps identify/validate her areas of interest

3. The words that are scribbled on benches - early signs of what kids (in general) are excited about

4. Feedback that teachers give to other parents while you are waiting in the queue. An interesting nuance I picked today was that the root cause of low marks for 8YOs could be their inability to read and hence understand the questions
