Very confused and annoyed by why @T2Mumbai took away the candles from my cabin bag during security check. Can they light themselves in a flight? They were wax candles and from what I see they aren’t prohibited.

Anita Mani has produced a hugely educative book on pioneering women wildlife biologists in our country. The opening chapter on Jamal Ara called the 'First Lady of Indian Ornithology' came as a complete revelation to me.

She has faded into oblivion, but there was a time when she was a prolific writer on birds especially of the Chotanagpur plateau. She certainly deserves recall.

There was another woman, incidentally, who was one of the founders of the Delhi Bird Watching Society in January 1950. I wonder whether the two had ever met.

The healthcare system of India is soon going to collapse.Along with shortage of beds/oxygen cylinders, there is a shortage of Remdesivir and Tocilizumab in hospitals. Pt relatives are being asked to procure medications.
We are doing our best, but is the Govt doing it’s best ?

Unbelievable. Can't believe I'm paying taxes to protect Kangana Ranaut.

Frog songs! This is so happy making! @RGSustain1

[Roundglass Sustain @RGSustain1]

SOUND ON! #Frogs and toads sing every monsoon to charm a mate. But new disturbances are drowning out their calls. Ecologist @KSSeshadri tells us why a world without their monsoon chorus, is a world at risk. @gubbilabs

#Journalism Lesson

If you want a private citizen to speak to you on camera, you need to call ahead & seek an appointment.
Do NOT roll the camera without permission it is an invasion of privacy
If they refuse to give you an appointment by all means say so in your report.

[Aaditya Thackeray @AUThackeray]

A meeting held by Hon’ble CM Uddhav Thackeray ji with Aarey, Forest& Environment Depts has decided to apply Section 4 of IFA to approximately 600 acres in Aarey land near SGNP.
This implies that it will be declared a reserve forest after a hearing for suggestion/ objections(1/n)

#WorldElephantDay A charging elephant may please popping cameras but distresses the otherwise peaceful animal. Neha Sinha talks about why we must give these gentle giants the land, space, and privacy they deserve. @nehaa_sinha

The only gift I've ever received from a corporate is some kind of glass bowl with sweets inside for Diwali. Even they didn't want it back.
