Thread (1/n). Visited some temples in/around Chennai focusing on aesthetics/urban planning, thanks to @AgentSaffron. Felt frustrated looking at the pathetic state of affairs.

Starting with Parthasarathy Temple, Triplicane - a 6th century temple whose front has this parking lot.

You rarely get a mic at the UNHRC, so when you do, you don't waste it on generic speeches. You make every second count.

@asuvathaman did just that by taking two vital issues to the global stage: forced religious conversions and the erosion of ancient civilizations.

He reminded the world that Hinduism is a nature-centric civilization, not just a religion. Every time an indigenous culture is converted and erased, humanity loses centuries of ecological wisdom that no modern climate policy can replace. It’s high time the world views cultural survival as environmental protection.

Arnab makes a terrific point - that he is following social media marketing companies and there’s a money trail.

Influencers with <100k followers are being paid 40-50k per reel and 30k per story. Their books should be examined. Should be brought under PMLA.

That annoying feeling that I can't get an Argentina messi jersey for over a month now. Always sold out.

In a beautiful coincidence, today—the day after our launch—marks Skyroot’s eighth anniversary. It started with a simple yet audacious belief that India's private sector could build its own way to orbit. 🚀
From Vikram-S becoming India's first private rocket to reach space in 2022, to Vikram-1 reaching orbit and successfully deploying satellites on its maiden flight in 2026 — every milestone has been carried by one of the youngest teams in the business.

The first eight years took us from a first idea to orbit. The journey from 8 to ∞ is just getting started.

[Skyroot Aerospace @SkyrootA]

ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀

Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.

History is made. 🇮🇳

Today, in a small coastal town in Odisha, a king will pick up a golden broom and sweep the road like a servant.

This is Rath Yatra, and it may be the most human festival in the world.

For most of the year, the deities of Puri, Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra and their sister Subhadra, stay inside their great temple, where not everyone is allowed to enter.

But once a year, they come out. They are placed on three enormous wooden chariots, the tallest rising over forty feet, each one built fresh from scratch every single year and then never used again.

And then something extraordinary happens. The gods are not carried by priests alone. They are pulled through the streets by ordinary people. Thousands of them, farmers, labourers, strangers, holding thick ropes as thick as a man's arm, dragging the chariots down the Grand Road with their own bare hands.

The idea behind it is simple and beautiful. On this one day, the divine does not wait behind temple walls for you to come to it. It comes out, into the dust and the crowd and the heat, to meet everyone, no matter their caste, their religion, or where they come from.

Before the chariots move, the King of Puri himself comes down from his palace, takes a golden handled broom, and sweeps the path in front of the gods. A king, doing this is to show that before the divine, every single person is equal.

The tradition is over eight hundred years old. It was so overwhelming to the first English travellers who saw it that they took the name Jagannath and turned it into a new English word for an unstoppable force, juggernaut.

Kings have come and gone. Empires have risen and fallen. And still, every year, the ropes are pulled by ordinary hands.

Happy Rath Yatra. May Mahaprabhu Jagannath lead us all through these challenging times. 🙏
