For three decades, Delhi has made headlines like these. They just don’t seem to stop. Will this city ever be kind to women?

This is not just a policing issue, it’s also majorly a city-planning & management issue. Delhi builds massive parks and infrastructure as isolated parcels, then neglects lighting, active edges, footfall and last-mile connectivity. Women’s safety must be designed into the city.

यह जीत इस बात का सबूत है कि युवाओं और जन आंदोलनों के सामने तानाशाह हारते हैं..

This is the stupidest World Cup. VAR is just flattening this game into its most boring, joyless iteration.

Nommé par la FIFA pour officier durant la Coupe du Monde, l'arbitre somalien 🇸🇴 Omar Artan s'est vu refuser l'entrée sur le territoire américain

Vu ses difficultés pour obtenir un visa, il avait bénéficié du soutien de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi qui lui a notamment permis d'avoir un passeport diplomatique

Insuffisant pour les autorités américaines qui l'ont immédiatement renvoyé...

Pour rappel, Artan a dirigé la finale retour de Ligue des Champions de l'an dernier entre Pyramids FC et Mamelodi Sundowns tout en étant élu meilleur arbitre africain 2025 par la CAF

Almost 10 p.m in Delhi. It’s above 36 c. Feels hotter. Please folks, don’t argue ‘summer is summer’ and ‘it is no big deal.’ For the vast majority of people in this city, India’s capital, nights are not soft and silky and air-conditioned. Today, I took two Uber rides and both drivers said they had not slept for several days now. There are also fewer passengers. These are hard times. The days are hotter. The nights are hotter. There are also more days when it’s extremely hot. ‘Urban heat island’ effect makes city life unbearable. If we don’t understand the science behind this, chop trees, concretize more in the name of ‘development’ we will make it even worse and the price will be one which no one would want to pay.

Today was insanely hot. My auto driver said he couldn’t sleep last night. He has a fan in his one-room home in Sangam Vihar. The night - time temperatures are also very high. His coping strategy - wipe the floor with water through the night and lie down on the bare floor. I walked about 3.5 kms this evening, much less than my usual. After 7: 30 pm. We have to talk more about high night temperatures. People are turning up for work, are driving, walking , all groggy-eyed. No sleep.
Only 8% of Indian households have air conditioning and even then very, very few can afford to run ACs 24/7. Less than 15% have an air cooler. Which means more than three quarters of India’s population are like the auto driver I talked to.
The only cooling device in face of extreme heat is a fan.

The express series on landmark cases helmed by @apurva_hv is fab and should get more backing to expand it into a book length project. It will make for great reading. For instance, working a democratic constitution and people’s constitution both have that kind of approach.

Youngest World Chess Champions in history:

Can now confirm that sending Laapataa Ladies as India’s official entry to the Oscars instead of All We Imagine As Light was a ridiculously stupid decision. The latter has a good chance to get nominated even in the main categories, including Best Film & Best Director.

17-year-old Grandmaster D Gukesh is the Champion of FIDE Candidates Chess Tournament 2024!!

Gukesh scored 9/14 points to clinch the first place. A huge moment for Indian Chess! After Vishy Anand, he is only the second Indian player to win the Candidates Tournament.

With this amazing victory, Gukesh will challenge the reigning World Champion Ding Liren in the World Chess Championship match!

Certain trees have foliage characteristics that help reduce dust levels in their surroundings.

Despite how abundantly builders and developers in Mumbai put them up for their 'aesthetic', palm trees are not one of them 🌳🌴

They did the same in the Himalayas and everything came tumbling down. This pervert sense of accomplishment, to achieve speed, to reach faster, while digging your grave, to live less. That’s called STUPIDITY. That’s called arrogance.
