"In order for me to write poetry that isn’t political
I must listen to the birds
& in order to hear the birds
the warplanes must be silent"

Justice Mehta observed, "RTI activism has become a new business. The Central government has issued funds, it will take care of the construction of the road. You are nobody. So-called RTI activist! Yellow journalism. Dismissed."

What @IRCTCofficial claims to provide vs. what they actually provide.
How does the contractor get away despite complaints against them?
Mysore to Chennai Shatabdi.
The leading Israeli scholars of the Holocaust and of genocide - Omer Bartov, Daniel Blatman, Amos Goldberg - all agree that Gaza is a genocide.
So do Israel’s top human rights groups Btselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel.
Give it up with the antisemitism smear.
Big regulatory reversal 👇🏼
Three months after the Centre announced a new Earthquake map for India; it has been scrapped
Reason- New seismic safety standards would push up construction cost hugely

Sunak’s father, as chairman emeritus of Infosys, signed an MoU with Israel to collaborate on R&D in 2012. In 2015 Infosys acquired an Israeli tech firm, Panaya for $200m. Panaya hires former Israeli military ops officers. Sunak’s wife’s stake in Panaya is $13m. War ? Why not ?
India is NOT a Hindu civilization
India is a "country of many linguistic civilizations" and the modern Republic of India is an outcome of British colonization
NOTE: There are NO similarities between Malayalam civilization and Mizo civilization even though both are part of India
This was the reason why I switched to linux on my macbook. Lack of software support did not seem like a good reason to throw away good hardware.
Caveat: (afaik) there is no FCP for linux.
So I decided to factory reset/erase my beloved 12” MacBook (early 2015) just to get a clean install of the last version of macOS 11.7.11 Big Sur that it supports
Big mistake.
Apps that used to run (like Final Cut Pro) can’t even be redownloaded from the App Store anymore because Apple requires macOS 15 or later.
That’s right: Software that I paid $300 for back in 2020 (see second image with date of purchase) that ran on this little machine (yes, I edited 4K iPhone footage on it during major events like CES, MWC, and IFA back in the day) just straight up doesn’t install anymore.
Apple doesn’t even let me install the last compatible version anymore.
There’s nothing wrong with my 12” MacBook. It should run all the software that used to work on it.
Kinda fucked up and very anti-consumer
Imagine if China demanded all wheat be bought in yuan.
All chips in yuan.
All shipping insurance in yuan.
And any country that refused would be cut off from global finance, sanctioned, destabilized, or bombed.
The West would call it tyranny by breakfast.
But when America does it with oil, it is called sound macroeconomics.
That is how deep the propaganda goes.
The empire’s most absurd crimes are always disguised as common sense.
I am financially censored.
All the banks closed my bank accounts for criticizing Israel and U.S. war crimes at the UN
I cannot have a bank account. I cannot have a credit or debit card. I cannot make or receive payments
I’m not a criminal. I represent people’s voice at the UN!
In 2018, multiple women of different age groups named one Poet - Lyricist as their molester.
Today the Gnanpith is awarded to the man, after someone like Sri Jayakantan, whose daughter called Vairamuthu out for presenting a forged, fake letter by Sri Jayakanthan ‘praising’ Vairamuthu.
A committee from Kerala announced him as for the ONV Kurup award which was later ‘returned’ as voices of justice from their society rose to speak against sullying Sri ONV Kurup’s name.
The collective voices of the women who named him, were silenced.
I paid a very heavy price - the rest of the women who left their dreams behind weren’t half as lucky as I.

I just can't fathom why a #metoo accused faculty from Ashoka University is reviewing papers for India's first STS Network conference. I am definitely going to bring this up in the conference.
Why an entire city must be denied their right to choice of food because one community wants to celebrate their festival is unfathomable @GBAChiefComm. Why are you imposing someone’s food choice on others?
