While enjoying bird calls at Bhopal’s Eco Park, I overheard a young man lamenting his faithless beloved through shayari.
The “strange bird” eventually brought Mirza Ghalib to mind.

Greetings on Ganesha Chaturthi. May Ganesha bless us all.
The rock-cut Ganesha figure in Cave No.6, Udayagiri, Vidisha, dated 401 CE, is possibly the oldest Ganesha sculpture.

What makes Madhurashtakam so enchanting? Beyond its simple melody lies a profound meditation where Krishna is celebrated—without ever calling Him by name. Read a personal reflection on this beautiful stotra: https://t.co/hmotBfQrBo

Madhurashtakam
Vallabhacharya’s beautiful stotra builds everything around one word: madhura—sweet, beautiful, charming, graceful.
And yet, remarkably, Krishna is never named—not even once.
As the devotee sings, she discovers her beloved Madhuradhipati. Krishna.

Did you watch 'Batwara 1947'? Why has the film underperformed at the box office? Because Mirza (Sunny Deol) is made into a superhero, and Ma (Shabana Azmi) is relegated to a secondary role, unlike in Asghar Wajahat's 1989 Play?https://t.co/BdQjnOPLky

I first read Kabuliwala decades ago. A song made me read it again—and discover myself in it. https://t.co/Tbx770sBx0

Recently, I heard Ae Mere Pyare Watan and remembered Tagore's Kabuliwala.
When does one become a migrant?
When did I become one? I asked.

Jackals still howl in Bhopal’s forests — a solemn anthem of protest and plea. Read this blend of fable & journal on resilience, silence, and forgotten lessons. 🌿🐺 #Wildlife #Ecology #NatureWriting #Bhopal https://t.co/jPSjoEhZss

The nest is now empty. I mourn Phudki and her four eggs. 'Nature, red in tooth and claw.' https://t.co/rmYPWzqusg

On 13 Aug, repaired the little bird's nest. Carefully placed the two unbroken eggs in the nest, hoping she'd return to hatch. No luck!
O Phudki, why did you give up? Or did you, too, fall into the predator's jaws while asleep at night?https://t.co/rmYPWzqusg

A senior colleague tells me that the original proverb was:
तालों में ताल भोपाल ताल, बाकी ��ब तलैया;
गढ़ों में गढ़ चित्तौड़गढ़, बाकी सब गढ़ैया।

From Sholay’s Soorma Bhopali to forgotten savannas, Barru grass bridges folklore and ecology—reminding us that even weeds root identity. https://t.co/CrlbNGSsYb

A sad day for Phudki and this blogger. The little bird lost her nest and eggs. https://t.co/rmYPWzqusg

A Bengal fox, a beehive, hornets on pumpkin flowers, and a young bulbul's first flying lesson—all found around one bougainvillea hedge near our home.
Nature has been living alongside us all along. We simply need to notice.https://t.co/eG5Q1wWnkS

Who could have imagined that CJP, which began more as a satire than as a protest, would lead to the resignation of the Education Minister of India? Read my blog of 30 May, a satire: https://t.co/96yFdQ3Kmz
