Got midterms going on so naturally it’s a great time to make my comeback 🥸🤘🏽🫶🏽

[Shambhavi Ajila @s_ajila]

There seems to be a debate about the releases in the #BilkisBano case. Rapists and murderers in no circumstances deserve early or any release at all.

Can’t we agree that’s common sense?
Are we missing something here??

Religion can clearly sit this one out.

Some takeaways to remember from watching the #KashmirFiles:

A horrible thing happened. People were killed;
Our lack of knowledge about it is & was sad to say the least;
One group doesn’t represent an entire community;
The system needs a change because 1990 was not that long ago.

Happy Women’s Day to everybody!!

Waiting for the day we live in a women’s world where we can truly show what we’re capable of.

How can leaders continue to justify war watching from outside, while their soldiers are sent to fight?

Can our leaders claim to protect our country if they don’t protect the lives of every citizen?

Maybe it’s time they got into a ring and fought it out themselves to #EndWar.

[ANI @is_this_anii]

WHAT IS WAR?

Bombs that cost $ 100,000 Dropping from a plane that costs $ 100,000,000 flying at a cost of $ 40,000 per hour to kill people living with less than $10 a day.

Setting up all women police stations needs to be accompanied w/ the presence of more women in roles of authority.

Hopefully getting a step closer to providing safe & supportive work environments and reducing workplace discrimination.

Monetary compensation shouldn’t be incentive for public service work.

But w/o adequate compensate, honest individuals dedicating their lives to public service remain no match against corruption and deep pockets.

Interesting #thread:

An explanation of the technicalities used to misrepresent visuals as justification for data.

Happens much more often than we think!

#Thread: Here are my views on use of satellite images & maps in the Economic survey 2022.

Overall I have a mixed feeling. I am so glad and delighted that a section has been devoted in this manner but I am not happy how certain maps have been presented as they tend to mislead

[Shambhavi Ajila @s_ajila]

The #Budget22 allocation to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs saw an increase in 0.4% as compared to last year.

Let’s hope this means it is indeed no longer “business as usual”.

Have you ever thought twice about driving somewhere because there’s no parking?

A great city is walkable, bike-able and has accessible/efficient public transport.

Time to rethink how we want our future cities to function.

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for for cars.

Even if those cars are electric.

And then there’s the parking.

OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money and pollution.

Bengaluru tested public space interventions designed to foster independence in small children, such as low-height railings, child-sized washbasins & pocket-sized parks close to home.
