BASIC FACT: the 1945–46 elections were very, very, very fiercely contested. We had over 4 crore voters - second-largest electorate in the non-communist world, larger than 1945 British polls where Labour thrashed Churchill. So: Nehru remains the longest-serving elected PM for now.

[sleepy cat || @iamdatemike.bsky.social @iamdatemike]

In 2012 when I wrote the CBSE board exam, English paper had a question

Write diary entry. You witnessed a bomb blast

Later I got to know people genuinely were affected with that question and CBSE gave full marks to anyone who attempted it (?)

CBSE has always been a bit mental

The deaths of 10 tigers in Madhya Pradesh due to Canine distemper virus (CDV), followed by the deaths of 12 lions in Gujarat’s Gir Forest due to CDV in the past few days, is being considered a highly concerning situation for wildlife.
As of now, all these lion deaths have occurred in the eastern and western regions of Gir. Additionally, more than 30 lions have been brought to quarantine centers, and 4-5 new lions are being added daily.
The matter has now reached the Central Government. If the situation becomes more serious, it could turn into a major crisis and even pose an existential threat to the Asiatic Lion.
Gujarat’s reluctance over the past decade to establish new lion colonies in other states is now proving to be a huge mistake.
This situation is reportedly being downplayed by the Gujarat Government and the Forest Department, but it no longer appears to be under their control.
A team of experts from the Centre is heading there to closely monitor the situation and make immediate efforts to find a solution.
The last three months have been devastating for Indian wildlife, presenting a deeply disturbing scenario.
It is extremely important to find a solution in the coming days, otherwise, we are heading towards a massive loss. #caninedistempervirus #girlion #bigcatsafety #bigcatprotection #bigcatofindia

Twitter these days: “Today in AI, despite having AI, people can’t tell AI apart from AI. Oh, and this tweet was generated by AI.”

[Dr. Priyam Bordoloi @DocPriyamMD]

Saw a patient today with a hemoglobin of 1.9 g/dL. For context, a level that low is almost incompatible with normal consciousness, but she walked right into the clinic on her own feet.

For three long years, she lived with crushing weakness and since last 6 months breathlessness from just walking across a room. Why didn’t she get help sooner? At first, it was because the kids had crucial school exams and later her husband was reluctant to deal with the hassle of a hospital admission.

Her health was treated as a background inconvenience.
When we dug deeper, it got worse. A year ago, her Hb was 6.4 g/dL. A doctor explicitly told them she needed immediate admission. The family refused, walked out with a basic strip of iron tablets, she took them for two weeks, forgot about them, and nobody in the house ever bothered to check on her or remind her.

She didn't even come to the hospital today because of the air hunger. She came because her periods had completely stopped for months. Her body was so profoundly starved of iron and oxygen that it literally shut down her reproductive axis just to divert what little blood she had left to her heart and brain.

It’s completely heartbreaking. A woman will literally bleed her body dry, gasp for air for years and keep working silently, only to be brought to a doctor when her normal functioning stops.

Please check on the women in your homes. Stop letting them normalize chronic exhaustion.

Delhi doesn’t need “themed forests.”
It needs real forests left alone. Turning the 1.5-billion year old Central Ridge into a curated spectacle with excavation, fencing, and non native plantations is ecological vandalism disguised as beautification.

💔 A deeply heartbreaking scene from the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary…

In the Mugguru range near Kanakapura, a 40-year-old mother elephant died after drinking heavily polluted water from the Arkavati River. Her grieving calf was seen standing beside the body, placing its trunk on her and mourning inconsolably for hours.

Post-mortem report: Approximately 35 litres of contaminated water mixed with toxic substances were found in the elephant’s stomach.

The Arkavati River, a key tributary of the Cauvery, has faced severe pollution in recent years. According to Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) data under the National Water Monitoring Programme, microbial pollution (coliform bacteria) in stretches near Kanakapura has reached nearly 350 times the safe limit. Primary causes include:

• Untreated industrial effluents discharged from factories and industrial areas.
• Untreated domestic sewage from rapid urbanization on Bengaluru’s outskirts.
• Agricultural runoff containing pesticides and fertilizers.
• Loss of natural wetlands and buffers due to development and quarrying.

This forest and river ecosystem is the natural home of wild animals elephants, tigers, birds, and many other species that have lived here for generations. Human activities and environmental pressures are increasingly impacting their habitat.

The Karnataka Forest Department, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board, and the State Government have an important responsibility to address river pollution through stricter enforcement, mandatory sewage and effluent treatment, wetland restoration, and stronger ecosystem protection. Urgent and effective action is needed to prevent future tragedies.

A touching update: A herd of wild elephants later adopted the orphaned calf and took it with them.

We must work together to protect our rivers, forests, and wildlife.
