National News Channels will not cover this because this isn't from Maharashtra, Karnataka or Tamil Nadu. This is BJP councillor Renu Chaudhary from Delhi confronting an African football coach in a public park, threatening him to learn Hindi within one month. The coach has been training local children for years.

Back then, every 10 paise fall in Rupee was ‘breaking news’ and a national tragedy. Today? Silence louder than the currency’s free-fall. Consistency level: ZERO. Selective outrage ki bhi limit hoti hai.. Are you there or in Coma @smitaprakash ?

@dtchq_delhi the 1.15/1.20 PM DEVi service from Alaknanda to Sarojini Nagar Depot has a driver who does not halt at designated bus stops despite waiting passengers flagging the almost-empty bus to stop. Waiting passengers inform me he’s a repeat offender. Please take action

Bhibas Nayak, 29 yrs old from Odisha, lost his life near Hampi, Karnataka, reportedly while trying to protect women from being sexually assaulted by miscreants on March 6.
He died in an attempt to save the women from getting raped. Truly, a hero. Rest in peace Bhibas💔

India has an unusual inflation. Average inflation is 5.2% but vegetable inflation 30%. Hence the rich, for whom vegetable is a tiny fraction of spending inflation is not that high. For the middle class & the poor who spend a large part on food & vegetables, inflation is sky high.

Things humans (even pudding-sized human) make possible

[Dan Wuori @DanWuori]

Here’s one of the most fascinating child development videos I’ve ever shared.

As your baby learns language, they begin by approximating the examples you set.

After a period of early experimentation with sound (including cries, coos and gurgles), infants begin babbling - making speech-like sounds (which often include components of conventional speech) that are - nonetheless - not yet conventionally meaningful.

This babbling phase is a precursor to the use of formal words. And it happens in all languages.

Including sign language.

This video shows an infant (who, by the way, is not hearing impaired) “babbling” to her deaf grandparents.

As they sign to her, she responds in kind, using her hands to approximate the signed communication that they are modeling.

It’s a whole serve and return conversation, just as if they were conversing verbally.

If you’ll watch carefully, you’ll note distinct turn taking.

And - interestingly - that with her grandparents she largely avoids vocalizations, in favor of gesture.

What a treat to see this rich example of bilingual language development.

This fascinating video was shared to TT by mara_mccullough.

Left: Influential Indian actress Ms. Samantha Ruth who is unfortunately a health and science illiterate advising millions of her followers to inhale hydrogen-peroxide to prevent and treat respiratory viral infections.

Right: Scientific society, The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, warning people to not nebulize and breathe in hydrogen peroxide because it is dangerous for health.

In a rational and scientifically progressive society, this woman will be charged with endangering public health and fined or put behind bars. She needs help or a better advisor in her team.

Will India's Health Ministry or any health regulatory body do something about these social media health influenzas damaging public health or will they remain spineless and let people die?

It has been observed that Sansad TV is now translating the Speech of MP’s in English, into Hindi while muting the original audio. This new practice is deeply problematic, as it suppresses the MP’s voice, denies elected members the right to be heard in their chosen language, and is autocratic. We demand that the NDA Government refrain from such unethical tactics that undermine democratic & constitutional principles & gags the voice of the people of India.@RahulGandhi @yadavakhilesh @SudipBAITC @ianildesai @KanimozhiDMK

Dear Corporate media,

The criminal laws our country have changed today, arguable creating the biggest disruption in our police stations and courts in decades. Not one of you picked up that issue for primetime?

Why?

Spent a month in Mysuru late last year learning the basics of Ashtanga yoga & was charmed by the city, it's cuisine, culture and dedication to the practice. Wrote this for #SCMP

Ram-mol combines observed knowledge of soil science, root systems, resilience of native seeds and timing of agricultural activities to minimise the impact of erratic rainfall patterns and drought-like conditions.
