Yes. This is the official website.

What’s this with managers asking for a medical report for a day’s leave? Medical se medicine lete hain hum. Doctor ke paas toh maut aane par jaana hota hai na? :3

Just got a call from a friend in Muzaffarpur. They’ve shut down the internet across the entire city (he lives on the outskirts).

The govt has a well-established playbook for dealing with popular anger.

First, black out the protest while it is happening (it helps to have the visual media under its thumb). Then broadcast carefully selected clips: any violence by protesters is isolated and endlessly replayed while violence by the state disappears from the frame.

Next, bring in “influencers” to muddy the waters. Follow up with ad hominem attacks and straw men: the protesters are anti-national, externally funded, agents of chaos determined to obstruct the nation’s progress.

If the Opposition remains silent, ask why. If it joins the protest, accuse it of exploiting the movement for political ends.

The purpose is to shift the discourse, step by deliberate step, away from the grievance that brought people onto the streets. Soon, no one is asking why students are protesting. Everyone is arguing about Rahul Gandhi, security protocols and the motivations of the protestors.

We watched this playbook unfold during the anti-CAA/NRC protests. We are watching the rerun now.

Something incredibly soothing about the classic 1930s Color Rhapsody cartoons like A Boy and His Dog (1936), the soft, rounded shapes, bouncy fluid movements, and gentle pastel colors just instantly calm you down. It's like visual comfort food.

Mind still baffles that a silly Navratri colour trend started by Maharashtra Times in 2003 ago to get more female readership is being religiously followed by people across the country and some even believe there’s a religious to this trend !
