Being from #Pune for past 5 days in #Sikkim I missed filthy streets and piled up garbage. That I again experienced the moment I landed up in #Darjeeling, West Bengal.

Visited Khecheopalri lake, West Sikkim. As per local belief this is a Wish Fulfilling Lake.The shape of lake resembles footprint of Guru Rimpoche or Lord Shiva depending whether you are a Buddhist or a Hindu.

@sikkimgovt @PSTamangGolay. Tourist visiting Sikkim pays a Tourism Sustainablity Development fee of ₹50. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a digital Memento Certificate signed by Addl Chief Secy of the State. Shows positive attitude. Well done Sikkim. @Dev_Fadnavis may note.

Orchidarium at Gangtok, Sikkim. Compliments to local government for a very uniquely designed exhibition of orchids.

Visit to Nathu La. A high altitude India Tibet border pass in Sikkim. Location of September 1967 violent clash between Indian army and PLA. Every Indian should be reminded of valour and grit of Indian soldiers who aggressively defended the territorial integrity of the country.

@PMCPune. Have been critical of sloppy & very citizen unfriendly work by #Pune Municipal Corporation. That's a fact. However, when it came to getting important documents & certificates, Ward 8 office personnel at Aundh deserve full credit & appreciation for efficient service.

Chaotic traffic is a everyday situation in Pune. With engines running at idling for long, fuel consumption is bound to be high. Neither the public nor the government agencies are keen to bring discipline and order.

[Rahul Maslekar @marahul]

@PMOIndia call to conserve petroleum consumption. Politicians of all hues trying to impress by one day drama. Some riding motorcycles & while some by bus. If only the roads were of better quality & traffic properly regulated, much fuel wastage would reduce.

[Rahul Maslekar @marahul]

@PMOIndia Dear PM, your appeal to reduce consumption of petroleum products needs setting good example. Would Bureaucrats travel in public transport? Would Ministers, MPs, MLAs curtail use of large convoy & police escorts? How about ban on political rallies? Impossible !

@MamataOfficial tantrums about sticking to the Chief Minister's chair. Reminded me of one adhesives company advertisement. यह जोड आसानी से छुटेगा नही.

Defining a Hellhole. Superpower having Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership with a hellhole country - something does not connect.

[Rahul Maslekar @marahul]

#WomensReservation. All India protests planned by #NDA leaders to highlight opposition parties' vote against the bill in Loksabha are causing public nuisance. Blocking roads and causing traffic jams is not going to gain brownie points to the ruling dispensation.

[Rahul Maslekar @marahul]

@PMOIndia Prime Minister's address to the nation is losing its appeal. A legislative bill's defeat on floor of the house need not have been the subject for National address.

@rautsanjay61 International mediation is not like you poking your nose between NCP (Sharad Pawar) Shiv Sena (UBT) & INC.

[Rahul Maslekar @marahul]

Interesting point in #WestAsiaPeaceDeal. "Strait Toll" unique idea for making money out of geographic advantage. Hormuz not the only strait. Should other nations too start demanding "Passage Toll". Spain, UK & Morocco, Malaysia & Indonesia, Yemen and Djibouti. UNCLOS gets dumped.

[Rahul Maslekar @marahul]

#Iran war. Is it a war against Iran or is this #Trump's plan to get #GCC infrastructure destroyed through Iran. Why are the Gulf countries willing to suffer this loss for the US.

[Rahul Maslekar @marahul]

@DirMktg_iocl All assurances of having no issue in supply of household LPG cylinder seems to be not so assuring, in #Pune atleast. Its over 10 days of waiting and still no delivery after booking online. Is it that distributor RAJNANDINI Indane, Hinjawadi, has special problems.

[Rahul Maslekar @marahul]

As one legend goes Roman Emperor Nero fiddled while the city burned. Today's Nero (read Trump) fills columns on social media while West Asia burns. This fire, ofcourse, has charred the entire world.

[Rahul Maslekar @marahul]

@POTUS and his team members may call India as a good actor. But certainly US is being led by a bad joker.

[Rahul Maslekar @marahul]

@POTUS is needling #British Prime Minister for Britain's hesitant participation in the war against #Iran. Wonder why #KeirStarmer is taking it lying down.
