My dog loves playing with his ball by the sea and catches it right before it reaches the ball because he thinks it will steal from him

We should revive traditional clothing.

So many cultures have really cool traditions and manufacturing techniques shaped by local materials and climate.

Everything has become so homogenized now that many people don’t even know how their ancestors dressed.

The President of France jogged through the streets of Mumbai with just a few security men. While taxpayers’ money is wasted on huge cavalcades that accompany the chief minister and his ministers. Not about security but about VIP arrogance.

@suchetadalal @CMOMaharashtra @mybmc They sit in rooms and cars with air purifiers daily, how would it affect them. Absolutely apthetic towards the common man

@mhemachari @WMMaharashtra @Warriormomsin @ChaloPmc @vandymini @suratkal @parisarpune @mpcb_official @cleanAirBharat @VinitaDeshmukh @TamhiniGhat This is the national crisis we should be focusing on. But I guess AQI isn't a problem coz it won't fetch you votes or make you money. The cluster of red dots is increasing and this only means we have to prepare for the worst!

In other countries, this board (which you cannot see clearly because of pollution) would mean lane markings for vehicles driving at 80 & 100 km per hour.

On NH 48 it means 80 & 100 metres per hour. Development is serious business for the government & the joke is clearly on us.

[Pranoti Atre @pranotiatre]

Stop asking for tolls, stop calling it a national highway. You are spoiling the state under the guise of infrastructure because you are unable to provide for that

[Pranoti Atre @pranotiatre]

Everytime you leave Maharashtra and come back you realise Maharashtra is in deep deep trouble. Stuck on NH48 for the last 4 hours with no end in sight. @CMOMaharashtra @mieknathshinde get your act together

Everyone tells Indians to walk 10,000 steps, but no one tells us “Where should we walk?”

Try stepping out to walk in any Indian city.

Chances are:
-There are no footpaths.
-If there is one, it’s broken.
-If it’s not broken, it’s occupied by hawkers, scooters, garbage, or parked cars.

I’ve lived in countries where walking is therapy. In India, walking is a punishment. You dodge potholes, pray you don’t get hit by a car, and come home covered in dust.

We talk about building smart cities, but what’s the point of smart cities if we can’t even walk safely in them?

Our cities were never designed for people. They were designed for traffic. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that walking is not a privilege, it is a basic human right.

Let’s stop designing cities for cars.
Let’s start designing them for people.

Let’s Make India Walkable Again!

List of companies where Pune MP is currently serving as a director.

The connection with Gokhale has already been established. However, it’s interesting to see, how he got associated with Amar Builders(city space developer)

[sushma date @sushmadate]

This is a park just a few minutes from my son's house in Hamburg - around 350 acres of a thickly wooded forest right in the midst of urban clutter.

Before or after a long, stressful day at work, people come here to unwind - to jog, to walk, to spend time with their children or pets, or to simply enjoy the whispering of the trees.

We are fortunate enough to have similar, pristine green spaces in the heart of Pune - Vetal tekdi, Taljai tekdi, the Baner tekdi - but sadly, neither our elected leaders nor our bureaucrats seem to understand the value of pristine green space in fostering physical and mental well-being of citizens. Apart from the obvious benefits of urban forests, they play a role in the psychological well being of a society - something which our town planners just don't get.

Our urban forests are just pieces of prime real estate for them - where roads, manicured parks, gyms, parking lots, food courts etc can be built for commercial gain.

How does one convince the public which supports construction on our tekdis that it will come at a heavy cost to us all?

Assuring on behalf of all tax payers in pune city! We'll pay the tax you can splurge on mandavs hoardings and bad infrastructure! @ThePuneMirror @CPPuneCity @PMCPune @aparanjape @godbole_shilpa

[Nachiket Deshpande @nachiket1982]

A दाता is someone who gives without getting anything in return. By this logic, ppl who the govt calls as Annadata or Urjadata aren't really दाता as they're getting paid for their produce.

The only real दाता in our country is the incometax payer who gets zero return on his tax.

@CMOMaharashtra in town,

traffic stopped at various locations, long queues of tax payers, so tax payer funded govt cars can pass through. 🙂
