I saw a post that said:
“I think being forced to be hyper independent as a child has caused me to be irrationally angry with any adult who needs their hand held through anything they do.”
And I felt that in my soul.

@gemsofbabus_ Goa is actually one of the first state of the country that was declared as rabies free, due to it's strict biosecurity protocols, surveillance and mass vaccination. Along with that, most stray indie dogs that you find there will ne neutered and vaccinated
Neverrrrrrr accept jokes about your family, your body, your partner, your dreams, your trauma, your job, your insecurities or the way you dress.
Disrespect comes in the form of jokes
Don't let a 10-minute problem consume a 24-hour day. The email was uncomfortable. The train was late. The conversation went poorly. Feel it, deal with it, then allow the rest of your life to remain intact.
“India specifically requested that there should be no press conference and no press questions during the Trump Modi meet at G7.”

Rahul Gandhi was so right about him, when he said he will be destroyed within seconds if he faces the Press.
Archives | A joint investigation by the German publication Süddeutsche Zeitung and the Venezuelan media outlet Armando Info has revealed that Vantara, owned by Anant Ambani, the youngest son of the Reliance chairperson, Mukesh Ambani, has received at least thirty-nine thousand wild animals from over thirty countries since 2022. Several of the imported animals in Vantara actually belong to species that are subject to an international trade ban, under the CITES. The report notes that Vantara has been under international scrutiny for bypassing restrictions under the CITES, possibly with cover from the Indian government.
Among Vantara’s large and varied population of exotic, endangered animals are more than ninety African cheetahs, including over a dozen cubs. A 2024 investigation by Himal found that Vantara has been sourcing animals not only from private entities in India and abroad but also from state-owned zoos in Gujarat and Assam. Some state zoos have also sent to Jamnagar exotic species that were given to them after being seized from trafficking operations. In addition, state forest departments, especially in Maharashtra, have sent wildlife from mining-affected regions and sites of human–animal conflict—often related to a reduction in wildlife habitat—to the private compound, without taking into consideration the environmental and wildlife impacts from its proximity to one of the world’s largest oil refineries. The Himal investigation found that “Vantara has poached veterinary and animal-care staff from conservation NGOs across India.”
