@godbole_shilpa 10K for the trees. That’s the part worth celebrating! And yes, good to know police were around.

Summer leaves behind more than memories & mangoes. Saved seeds, carried into the monsoon, can become part of a landscape years later. Many of ours have found place in Taljai Hills among native trees supporting the ecology. Small beginnings. Long horizons. 🌱

@docyogi1 Glad those messages found you doc. So well deserved! Hope you know how much your work means to many! 🙏🏼

@godbole_shilpa Spotted something cool indeed! Congratulations on sharing with the world, it will surely inspire many!

PM Modi's #MannKiBaat came & went without a mention of the NEET, CBSE & CUET mess.
Let's not pretend this is beneath the Prime Minister's attention. We have seen the full communication apparatus mobilised over far smaller matters. Photo ops, speeches, tweets & inaugurations for projects of purely local significance.
When millions of students are affected, however, the country is expected to accept silence.
Strange priorities for a nation that calls its youth its greatest asset.

@godbole_shilpa The solution isn’t outrage after every incident. It’s years of civic education, functioning enforcement, and a culture where littering is socially unacceptable rather than casually ignored. #swachbharat #comeonindia #letsdoit

Raigad Fort is a symbol of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj legacy. If visitors pay entry fees and funds are spent on conservation, basic amenities like toilets for women should be non-negotiable.
@maha_tourism, can this be addressed before the June 6 Shivrajyabhishek celebrations?

No Toilets for Women at Raigad Fort? Woman Questions Authorities Over Lack of Basic Facilities

A woman visitor has raised serious concerns over the lack of basic facilities for women at Raigad Fort, the historic capital of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Despite crores being spent on the fort’s conservation and an entry fee being charged to every visitor, she questioned why proper public toilets for women are still unavailable.

In a video that is now going viral on social media, she argued that denying such essential facilities not only inconveniences visitors but also affects the sanctity of the historic site. She further pointed out that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj stood for the dignity and respect of women, making the issue even more concerning.

The matter has gained attention ahead of the grand Shivrajyabhishek celebrations on June 6, when thousands of Shiv devotees are expected to visit Raigad Fort.

What if Pune had a simple anonymous civic reporting platform like #NammaKasa
Report garbage black spots, debris dumping, potholes & river pollution with photos + location in seconds.
Visible. Trackable. Actionable.
@PMCPune, citizen groups can we explore similar idea. @aparanjape

[NammaKasa @NammaKasa]

We’ve normalized garbage in Bengaluru.

We walk past it. Drive past it. Ignore it.

NammaKasa is an attempt to make it visible.

150+ spots already mapped:

We often see the spectacle for a few minutes in the sky, but not the years of training, coordination and mental conditioning behind it.
Precision at that level is built long before takeoff. ✈️ #jaiho #jaihind

@docyogi1 Peak connectivity in every possible sense.
But seriously, hope Everest can still save us from screen time 😄

Sunday mornings have quietly become a ritual- stepping out with a sketchbook, going around the city, and sketching moments as they unfold.
…
Places bring us together, but it’s the people, what makes those mornings stay with us.

@docyogi1 @PMCPune @PuneCityTraffic Wonder why its tagged as ‘another’ citizen complaint ..to get closed. Its all over the place. Civic n traffic officials r expected to proactively monitor roads, identify encroachments & enforce discipline before chaos becomes the norm? Governance cannot run on citizen complaints

@godbole_shilpa That’s not a bored child. That’s the kid at the wedding silently judging everyone’s dance moves and life choices.

@docyogi1 Changing NEET from OMR to CBT may reduce loopholes, but it still doesn’t answer the real concerns.
Who enabled the leak?
Who benefited?
Who was held accountable?
What reforms were made within #NTA?

Trust cannot be restored by format change alone. #NEET2026
