Wish life was a series of lit fests, film fests and food fests!

Spoke to Mohit Takalkar for @thewire_in As always, he came up with nuanced observations and piercing insights into art and life in the most nonchalant manner! https://t.co/24EdmK6VbQ

@tikulli Been good :) and you?

Spoke to @jeejivisha about her exceptional film Tighee for Sunday Mid Day, Mumbai. Full interview here
https://t.co/9Zvm51rNn5 @appadappajappa Not there in the interview, but she mentioned your efforts to get people to watch the film with a lot of fondness.

[Renu Deshpande Dhole @renudhole]

@appadappajappa Yes yes yes! Having friends who send you highlights from books they read and know you'd appreciate has been one of the best things to happen to me.

@OldWonk @KameiPrecious @rdrakesh @TOItravel Love it!

@gauravsabnis @romaticize Haunting sight. Reminded me of this poem.

Two good films this week. The first is the Marathi film, ‘Toh Ti Ani Fuji,' which explores the toxic ex-lovers template in refreshing new ways.

Amazing campaign by Puneites to save #Pune's rivers. Hope @Dev_Fadnavis gives an ear and stops concretisation of the rivers and stops heavy tree felling required for that, which is/will lead to life threatening flash floods. @PMCPune @narendramodi

@mohol_murlidhar Quoting from @IndianExpress report of 7 Feb: 'Mohol claimed that there was not much opposition to the RFD project.'
These are some of ~5000 Chipko Marchers, many from a socioeconomic class that do not usually come out on the streets for a cause. @PuneRivers

[Renu Deshpande Dhole @renudhole]

Nearly 5000 citizens attended the Chipko march yesterday, pledging to save rivers, expressing their opposition to the erroneous RiverFront Development project. Hear our voices and stop this destruction. @mohol_murlidhar @SidShirole

@gauravsabnis Thanks for sharing, Gaurav!

Please read and act before we lose whatever little nature we have left for the sake of real estate ventures.

The regular #Punekar hardly knows her rivers, unless they've stepped off the bridges that offer pathetic views. Look beyond what the lazy gaze affords, and a wonderland of sensory pleasures unfolds.

Go support the #RfD, but at least understand the price you are paying for it! 💁🏻‍♀️

[The Bridge Chronicle @TBChronicle]

‘Pal me parlay hovegi.. bahuri karega kab’ – Sant Kabir’s words could well be a call for citizens action in the face of riverfront destruction. Read Guest Article by Renu Deshpande Dhole (@renudhole ), Pune-based special educator and a freelance writer: https://t.co/iwMZIZMzky

[Srihari @SSuthamall84721]

This place is one of the Pune's best kept secrets, but that itself has become a problem. Now there is a grave danger that it will continue to be a "secret" that only people who has experienced will reminisce. Hopefully it will not get to this right @renudhole

[Renu Deshpande Dhole @renudhole]

@stevenlockett @TBChronicle Thank you, Steven. The river management and restoration expert that I've quoted is @Parineeta_River . Her absolutely brilliant lecture at Ecological society taught me so much about rivers.

[Steve Lockett @stevenlockett]

I love this article from @renudhole for @TBChronicle which considers the complex nature of a river.
As a unique ecosystem it is a mix of function as well as form; with dynamic shifts in volume & flow (esp an Indian river) it is ever changing in relationship to the riparian zone.
