4 years of @BJP4India rule and we see a plethora of positive changes-improving the health of diverse sectors, crusade against corruption, tax reforms and rise in India's stature. We need @narendramodi 's continued leadership for India to make a quantum leap

Who else is like this? 🤔✋🏻

Chhath has started.. and while looking at the Panchang, I want you to notice a connection between Bihar & Tamil Nadu.

We call Chhath a Bihar festival and Kanda Sashti a Tamil festival.

but even the word <Chhath> tells us something.

Chhath is the regional form of <Shashthi>.. षष्ठी became Chhathi/Chhath in the local language. And Chhathi Maiya is the regional name of <Shashthi Devi>.

Now look at what happens on 15th Nov.

While millions in Bihar, Jharkhand & eastern UP stand in rivers offering Sandhya Arghya to Surya on <Kartika Shukla Shashthi>, Tamil Nadu reaches the 6th day of Kanda Sashti.. Soorasamharam.

the day Murugan Swamy defeats Surapadman.

Both are tied to Kartika Shukla Shashthi.. which is why Chhath & Kanda Sashti keep meeting on the same lunar day every year.

Now come to Chhathi Maiya.

In the Puranic tradition, Shashthi Devi is identified with <Devasena>.. wife of Skanda Swamy.

Devi Bhagavatam says she is called Shashthi because she is the sixth part of Prakriti, and identifies her as Devasena.

Mahabharata too calls Devasena, wife of Skanda Swamy, Shashthi.

In Tamil Nadu, the same Devasena is <Deivanai / Teyvayanai>.. consort of Skanda Swamy.

Bihar is worshipping Chhathi Maiya on Shashthi..
Tamil Nadu is celebrating Skanda Sashti on the same Shashthi..

and the Shashthi Devi of our Puranic tradition is Devasena, wife of that same Murugan Swamy.

The next morning, Chhath ends with Usha Arghya to the rising Surya.

At Tiruchendur, the day after Soorasamharam is <Thirukalyanam>.. the marriage of Murugan Swamy with Teyvayanai.

and there is one more astrology angle here..

Chhath is Surya Upasana, but during Sandhya Arghya on 15th Nov, Sun will still be in <Libra>.. his neecha rashi.

Even during Usha Arghya on the morning of 16th, Sun is still in Libra. He enters Scorpio only later that evening.

So this year, both Arghyas are being offered to Sun right at the final edge of his debilitation transit.. once at sunset & once at sunrise.

I find this connection beautiful because we keep dividing our festivals by states..

Bihar. Tamil Nadu. North India. South India.

but if u look at the Panchang & Shastra together, they quietly connect them through the same word, same tithi & the same divine family.

Jai Chhathi Maiya 🙏

@Iyervval Hightime the government made some stringent law to punish pet abandonment

[Comman Man @CommanMan777589]

The day you stop bursting crackers, they'll come after your diyas, the oil you burn and eventually the rituals themselves.

There is no finish line to appeasing people who have a problem with your traditions.

They've already targeted harmless festivals like RakshaBandhan.

Stop begging for liberal validation.

Stop apologising for celebrating your own festivals.

Stop virtue-signalling to people who will move the goalpost regardless of how much you concede.

I'll support a complete ban on firecrackers across EVERY fucking occasion if pollution is genuinely your concern.

No exceptions. No selective enforcement.

But don't expect me to surrender my traditions to your selective outrage and manufactured moral superiority.

You cannot keep bending over backwards for people who will never stop asking you to bend.

Stand up , Speak up, Put all the A** on fire who dares to speak against Hindus and their traditions.

Let all hell break loose !!

A humble request to all airport authorities, airport lounges, hotel managements and the hospitality industry.

We see staff standing for 10–12 hours at airport counters, lounges, hotel receptions and service desks, welcoming and serving us with a smile. But have we ever thought about how physically exhausting this must be?

I strongly believe every such workplace should have a mandatory high stool or proper seating arrangement, allowing staff to sit and rest whenever work permits.

Hospitality is about making people feel comfortable. Shouldn’t we extend the same consideration to the people who make us comfortable?

A little rest is not a privilege. It’s a basic matter of dignity, compassion and humane working conditions.

Let’s make this a standard across the industry. A small change in policy can make a big difference in someone’s life.

⚡️KOLKATA’S URBAN MAKEOVER: A MARINE DRIVE-STYLE HOOGHLY RIVERFRONT?🎢

West Bengal is planning an ambitious urban transformation programme under Urban Development Minister @paulagnimitra1, with nine MoUs signed with NBCC to develop key city infrastructure.

Major proposals include:
🌊 Hooghly Riverfront: A proposed transformation of both banks from Diamond Harbour to Esplanade, with a four-lane highway, promenades, cycle tracks, lighting, hotels and commercial spaces.

🚇 Connectivity: A possible Metro link from Diamond Harbour to Esplanade has been discussed with the PMO. This remains a proposal, not an approved project.

🏘️ Slum rehabilitation: Permanent housing and improved infrastructure for long-standing slum communities, including discussions on settlements on Kolkata Port land.

🚶 Organised hawker zones: Planned vending areas, food streets, mobile food markets and digital payment systems across Kolkata, Howrah and Bidhannagar.

📚 College Street: Modernisation while preserving its identity as Bengal’s iconic book district.

🐉 Tangra Chinatown: Redevelopment while retaining its distinctive Chinese heritage.

Other MoUs cover Chandannagar riverfront, Nabadwip ghats, public toilets and government housing redevelopment.

Separately, discussions with Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port cover ghat modernisation, riverfront development and rehabilitation of slum settlements on port land.

The ambition is to reconnect Kolkata and Howrah with the Hooghly, improve urban living and unlock tourism and economic opportunities.

@sanghichef I was wondering about the second thing. Thanks for the clarification 😂

[Bhaavna Arora @BhaavnaArora]

More than three nights of nonstop firecrackers in Bengaluru - that too not green and the AQI is still hovering around 70 at this time in my house.
You know why?
You guessed it right! Our neighbours aren’t burning stubble!
Air pollution is a much bigger problem than a few nights of celebrating our festivals!

[Abhi @_Avykt]

Bengaluru’s AQI after an entire night filled with firecrackers is 99

Because we don’t have crooks burning stubble around us

[Saranik @Saranikg]

@DealsDhamaka US, Europe , China, Singapore...all have it. High time it gets implemented in Bharat

[Vineeth K @DealsDhamaka]

A lot of my friends are already back to work today, barely hours after celebrating Diwali last night.

Why doesn’t India have its own 10-14 day holiday season?

The West shuts down around Christmas and New Year. China does it for Lunar New Year.

Why are Indians expected to get back to work after just 1-2 days of celebrating our biggest festivals?

India deserves a proper festive holiday season too. 🇮🇳
