Inhale. Exhale. Repeat.

here is a thread of animations I made for anyone who could use some deep breaths

[Srishti @seekingsrishti]

While I was reporting for @Article14live on Facial Recognition Technology used by Delhi police, I found myself on their monitor. Delhi police was caught on camera surveilling a journalist on duty. When I confronted them, this is what they had to say.

The moral timidity of Sachin Tendulkar will be his legacy. Laanat.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Tear gas and batons. Suspended metro services and mobile internet. Reported unnecessary and excessive use of force against peaceful protesters. Demonstrators in India were marching towards parliament to demand the resignation of a Union education minister following alleged examination paper leaks that affected millions of students. The Delhi Police responded with violent crackdowns.

Indian authorities must ensure that all allegations of unlawful conduct against these Cockroach Party-led protests are promptly, independently, and impartially investigated.

[Maitreya Bhakal @MaitreyaBhakal]

The sheer amount of anti-Modi hatred at the protests is astonishing. Not just against the government or the Party in general, but against Modi personally.

People are mocking him directly, shouting anti-Modi slogans, singing songs cursing him, defacing his posters and images, and it won't be surprising if people start burning his effigies on the streets.

This is an astonishing failure of Modi's omnipresent PR machinery. For more than a decade, they worked overtime to sanitize Modi's image, mythologizing him as an infallible, quasi-divine entity beyond reproach. Credit for every successful government policy was always attributed to him, while he was carefully kept away from all its failures, for which his minions (e.g. ministers) eagerly absorbed the blame. Corporate media sang his praises and extolled his virtues day after day. It was perhaps the biggest cult of personality in modern India's political history, surpassing even that of Nehru.

And today, it's all going down the drain. The house of cards is crashing down. As always, pride came before the fall. Style can only win over substance for so long.

Despite calling them out ( @TajinderBagga @Mrsinha @UnSubtleDesi ) for sharing clipped video, more than an hour back, None of them have deleted their misleading tweet or apologised for sharing misleading video.
These BJP members and Iat cell trolls have been waiting for a slightest oppertunity to bring in Hindu-Muslim angle to target the Protesting students..
Beware! They did the same during Shaheen bagh protest, They did the same during Farmers Protest. They are trying the same formula even now.

[B.H.Harsh @film_waala]

Everybody should watch Samdish's coverage video. The man did exactly what a journalist is supposed to do, and more.
I have never seen such anger on his face.

[Gaurav Sabnis @gauravsabnis]

Shameful.

[Sandeep Singh @PunYaab]

IIT Rorkee’s gag order warning students from using social media for participating or discussing current student protests.
IIT Roorkee calls students not to say or do anything which is capable of embarrassing relation between Central govt and IIT.

[Kapil Komireddi @kapskom]

Rahul Gandhi today exhibited a degree of personal physical courage that will forever be beyond the comprehension of Narendra Modi, a man too frightened to take an unscripted question.

Great article by @sabahvir . The maps were v helpful 👏👏

Share with your friends who’re excited about the metro

[Ritika Chopra @RitikaChopra__]

If you spend hours commuting in Mumbai, this is for you.

10 km of new Metro lines open this Thursday. Another 40-50 km expected in 2026. And 2027 could finally be the year Mumbai gets a network worth calling city-wide.

@sabahvir has mapped EVERY SINGLE Metro line to update you on what's ready, what's coming, & what remains a distant promise.

Your COMPLETE guide to Mumbai Metro is here👇.
