When you attend these events you realise how terribly managed other much more expensive, equally large events (read: Concerts) are.
If getting fit = validation, i highly recommend it
HYROX fitness event in Bengaluru saw around 9,000 participants.
They charged ₹9,000 per person to participate, which comes to roughly ₹8.1 crore made in a single day.
Same trend is showing up in marathons. People are paying ₹3,000–₹5,000 just to run for a day.
Being fit is good. But why are people spending this much on a one-day event? It feels less about fitness and more about validation.
Guys, give me some reccos and be real with me, are people actually buying windbreakers/sport jackets for upwards of ₹3k?? Why are they so expensive isn’t it just plastic
Obviously you must reduce the dog population & vaccinate. @MCD_Delhi couldn’t even sterilise.
And 2 @indSupremeCourt judges, clearly out of their depth, suo moto ask the same MCD to build shelters? Thanks for your creative suggestions- but what about the 80k pending cases?
5 Countries that tackled the stray dog issue humanely. Lessons India must heed:
Portugal – Nationwide sterilisation & vaccination drives, coupled with adoption incentives. Euthanasia banned for healthy animals.
Netherlands – Achieved “zero stray” status without killing a single dog through mass sterilisation, microchipping, strict breeding laws, and heavy fines for abandonment.
Turkey – Stray dogs vaccinated, neutered, and released back into their territories with food and shelter stations across cities.
Chile – Mobile veterinary units provide free spay/neuter services in rural and urban areas, making prevention accessible to all.
Italy – Regional laws forbid killing strays; dogs are housed in municipal shelters until adoption, with public campaigns to encourage responsible pet ownership.
These countries recognised that compassion and control are not opposites. Humane solutions require patience, resources, and respect for life - not mass culling disguised as ‘protection.’

I wish the Supreme Court judge took so much active notice of the large pending cases before the Court or taken action against rapists, murderers, molesters roaming the streets as humans or the corruption in the system that affects every common man
Here are my indies. Stoopy and Lucy. Off the streets of goa, now full time Mumbaikars. Praying, hoping, waiting for an India that cares for their kind, provides adequate state resources for their care, and showcases a humanity we can all be proud of….a humanity that resides in numerous NGOs and animal rights groups currently fighting hard for them.
