Such a lazy and boring movie. Extremely bad writing and execution. Delhi Crime and Kohraa were such well executed cop dramas, #Kartavya is just bad.

May you rest in Peace, Ravi Sir 🙏🏼 It was a privilege and honour to work with you. His passion, knowledge and vision for Pune was unmatched. I remember my time at Janwani when he silently funded many projects for the betterment of the city governance.
You will be missed dearly.

An icon of Pune industry, Ravi Pandit passed away earlier today in Pune. A huge loss for Pune and the Indian Industry.

A visionary, a mentor, a great leader. Always softspoken, helpful, humble and ready to guide so many of us.

Om Shanti 🙏

Long message, but trust me, it will be worth your time. Here is a remarkable update from Tamil Nadu’s tagged turtles. Early tracking data shows that some have already travelled to the Sri Lanka Dome, a little known ocean region where marine life gathers in extraordinary numbers. What makes this even more astonishing is that turtles migrating from Odisha are also expected to arrive in the same waters. Species from distant coastlines are converging at one natural marine hotspot shaped entirely by the rhythm of the ocean.

The Sri Lanka Dome is created by powerful seasonal ocean processes that bring cool, nutrient-rich waters to the surface. This fuels plankton blooms and attracts turtles, fish, whales, seabirds, and countless other marine species. It is one of the most productive upwelling zones in the world’s oceans, beginning in May, reaching its peak in July, and declining in September. At that time, the turtles move out of the region and begin their return migration once again.

These journeys reveal that turtles do not belong to one shoreline or one state. Their lives depend on a CONNECTED ocean, where feeding grounds, migration corridors, and breeding beaches all matter equally.

Places like the Sri Lanka Dome remain unknown to most people, yet they are among the most important ecosystems in the Indian Ocean, like hidden engines that sustain marine biodiversity.

The message from these turtles is clear. Conservation cannot stop at the beach. It must extend across borders and across seas because wildlife knows no boundaries 🙌🫶

Hey @lufthansa
The LH flight- Dublin to Delhi, via Frankfurt on 17 April has been cancelled. We have been rebooked on AF for Dublin-CDG and AI for CDG-DEL. I was on hold for 45 mins but couldn't connect the helpdesk. Do we need transit visa for this? There is no clarity.

[Naim Keruwala @Naim_K]

Hello again to all those glued to Amur Watch !
The Amur Falcons are rewriting the limits of endurance. From the forests of Manipur, three satellite-tagged travellers Apapang, Alang and Ahu have taken the world by storm. Here is the latest update from their epic journey. You will notice Apapang and Alang have crossed into Kenya... while Ahu continues to stay at the northern tip of Somalia. They are likely to stopover at Tsavo National Park in Kenya

Apapang (Orange tag)
The hero of the season.
6,100 km in 6 days 8 hours nonstop.
A single unbroken arc across continents.

Alang (Yellow tag)
The youngest with incredible grit.
5,600 km in 6 days 14 hours, including a night halt in Telangana and a 3-hour breather in Maharashtra before powering towards the Arabian Sea.

Ahu (Red tag)
steady and strong.
5,100 km in 5 days 14 hours, with a night pause in western Bangladesh before joining the great transoceanic push. (Her distance is lower because she took a more northerly and relatively shorter route to Somalia.)

Together, they embody the raw beauty of migration, precision, instinct, wind, stamina, and courage.
What a season ! What a journey ! As told by @SureshWII @wii_india to @supriyasahuias #AmurFalconMigration

Celebrating your birthday at an orphanage isn't noble. It's tone-deaf.
Those kids aren’t there to clap for your cake-cutting. You want to help? Donate. Support. Volunteer. Just don’t turn their reality into your birthday aesthetic.
