I posted in support of 🇮🇳 building more data centers & nuclear power plants, so that we can prepare for compute, control subsystem supply chains et al.
And now this is being liked, retweeted & shared by the same anti-nuclear folks I don't like 😭😂🤣
Me right now:
Low key funny to now look back at the events of last year, where the govt and the Indian company went out of their way to accommodate his requests behind the scenes, even doing some heavylifting to ensure a smoother regulatory experience.
No lessons will be learnt, ofcourse.
WhatsApp uncles enjoyed the fruits of independence without actually fighting for it. Cushy govt jobs, pay commissions, low inflation, post-liberalisation opportunities, pension. And now they sit in their cosy chairs, calling battered youth anti-national 🙄 #JantarMantar
Every move by the PM/HM duo to clampdown on lawful protest will automatically generate more anger/mobilisation nationwide. This mass psychology is never understood by authoritarians who lose a sense of proportion & misread the public mood while employing extremely coercive State power. It never works beyond a point. If anything it snowballs into a bigger crisis as legitimacy erodes faster then ever.
The Aam Aadmi Party and its CJP are competing with Congress. Both are trying to outdo each other in this protest. With October 10 just a day away, Instagram is flooded with posts. Everyone seems to be following the same script. Just watch!
For someone whose family has had generations of people in positions of power he acts remarkably clueless about how administration work
Why would the President deny or agree to anything publicly? She does not represent the ruling party by any means

हमारे बचपन का एक दिन.
अभी सुबह होने में काफी समय है. हम चारों छोटे-छोटे भाई-बहन रात में अपने अपने कमरो में गहरी नींद में सोए होते थे, तो अचानक अलार्म बज उठता है, फिर पिताजी या मां की आवाज आती है. उठो आज महालया है. फिर हाथ मुंह धोकर और नहाकर हम सब पूरा परिवार हारमोनियम जितने बड़े रेडियो के सामने बैठ जाते.
फिर ऑल इंडिया रेडियो, कोलकाता स्टेशन से आवाज आती है, "सुनिए महालया पर महिषासुर मर्दिनी, बीरेंद्र कृष्ण भद्र के स्वर में."
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्ति रूपेण संस्थिता
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः
यह दुर्गा पूजा उत्सव की शुरुआत की घोषणा का संगीत है.
शुभ महालया!
