“When you read this on the morning of
June 14, I am likely somewhere on the road between Durban and Pietermaritzburg, chasing a version of myself I once didn’t know existed.”

Thus begins the lovely essay on his running journey appearing tomorrow in Sunday ET by our colleague Pravin Palande @lonelycrowd who’s running the 85-km Comrades Ultramarathon in South Africa tomorrow.

“Seven years ago, this would have been unthinkable. In 2019, I was 47 and
could barely manage 5 km without feeling like my heart might blow up my chest.”

Truly inspiring.

Best wishes Pravin!

Strays hurt delivery boys they say. Yes, they bark to protect their territory, but it doesn’t mean aggression. All it needs is understanding- like Bharat, a local medical delivery boy realised. He carries biscuits & plays too. It’s simple #stopthelies #realstories #saveindiandogs

A guy ordered online with a note "Muslims should not deliver my parcel"

However when the Muslim guy reached with his order he said

"Bro I used to be BJP andhbhakt,I wrote it as a note then,I'm not able to remove it now,he apologized & tipped him"

Faith in Humanity restored !

Shelter Dog Breaks Down When He Realizes He's Adopted

Adoption day. Thin shelter dog walks forward, then suddenly-loud crying. She drops to her knees.

"You're safe now..." Raw moment inside the shelter

This proves that Alok Jain is a smart guy. He is Baysian in nature and changes his mind with changing data. No point in pulling out his past tweets praising the govt. That was a hypothesis that everyone went with.

I was having a discussion with my college senior at the GYM yesterday and his outlook for India was that things are gradually slipping out of control, we have spent too much time in last many decades in not securing energy needs, fixing infra, education and too much focus is on religion politics and we have become a reactive society where a disaster like situation has to happen before we try to fix it.

I could sadly not counter his argument.

This dog rushed into the store in a panic, and seconds later everyone understood why.

Wild Capital

What do you see outside your window, asks @nehaa_sinha in the introduction of her new book Wild Capital: Discovering Nature in Delhi.

It’s a travelogue about the capital, one that encounters not monuments and malls but Jalebi trees and peeping jackals.

Sinha, a conservation biologist, combines stories of lost friendships and grave illness with adventures alongside fellow conservationists.

In the middle of the pandemic, they walk into a wonderland of butterflies. Behind the Old Fort wall is a hidden cluster of Semal trees. At a secret watering hole near Gurugram three painted sandgrouse arrive for their daily drink. A leopard leaves tracks in Asola. A lava forest guards Niharika Lake.

The book is about “living at a timescale that is beyond the immediate and valuing the real capital in our lives — friendship, nature, rivers, trees, personal pursuits,” Sinha tells me. It’s also a call to conserve the wild in India’s concrete jungles.

I ask what she sees outside her window. “I see an Indian tree, the Semal, that can teach me how to spend time,” Sinha said.

“The Semal is my favorite because of its generosity,” she said. “So is the Palash, also an Indian tree, which grows in a funny way, never straight. It’s a reminder that we don’t have to be straitjacketed, to do what everyone is doing, to look like everyone else.”

Amazing how you conveniently skip facts to suit your agenda.

Indira Gandhi inherited an economy crippled by consecutive droughts, two wars, and complete aid cutoff; foreign aid crashed from ₹819 crore in 1965 to ZERO in 1966.

The 1966 devaluation was a crisis response negotiated by Shastri’s team before she even took office.

Meanwhile, your beloved leader Modi let the rupee crash from ₹58.58 (2014) to ₹85.27 (2024); a 45% fall, without any war, drought, or aid crisis. Just pure mismanagement. And this is the same man who attacked Manmohan Singh for far less.

The difference? Indira made a tough call under existential pressure and rebuilt India’s economy within years.

Modi has had a decade of relative peace and still destroyed currency credibility.

Even the IMF downgraded India’s exchange rate to “crawl-like arrangement” under his watch.

Stop peddling half-truths when your hero’s entire economic record is a trainwreck built on PR and demonetisation disasters.

Community dogs - Blamed for 2 deaths in 2 days !

Are dogs easy targets, or are they being deliberately targeted ?

क्या कुत्ते आसान टारगेट हैं या सोच समझ कर चुने दोषी ?
