And so begins the weekend with the luxury of good prose of Daphne du Maurier's 1941 romance set in Cornwall‼️This secondhand volume,picked up long ago, brings home the sea, river,the coast,the pirate and of course the lady🌹
Regional names for the white breasted waterhen in India, like 'Dahuk' are far more relatable than Thomas Pennant's Greek heavy 1769 nomenclature. "John Gould later illustrated this slaty grey ,crimson tailed bird "Amauronis phoenicurus".
Raindrops, Tea and the Mountain’s Silence
Throwback to Sari base camp—rain on the window, tea in hand, and Chandrashila waiting in the mist.
A mountain not distant, but a quiet presence watching as life carried on in its shadow.

The aarti was never just a ritual,
it was surrender—
a reminder that light must always be offered
before the dark takes hold of the night.
A throwback to Benaras,
where faith glows brighter than the flames.

As the dust settles a bit, the importance of info warfare/ psy ops comes to fore once again. Common porki have been fooled and a defeat being celebrated as a victory by the porki army; on the other hand, we were found wanting initially before a good sense prevailed.
Those who watched porki DGISPR briefing the day before, would have noticed him pointing at the work of lone wolves and private individuals. Disappointed to see not even a single sarkari handle was found worth quoting by that man.
@MIB_India needs to analyse and see what were official handles focusing at. In terms of effort, synergy, money and backups, no single individual or entity can match the resources available to the govt. Isn’t there a case to formulate a policy and have accountability in place? Pl remember, @AshwiniVaishnaw ji, the future wars will be aerial/ long distance coupled with a strong Info War. We need to be ready for the same.
