Its high time to introduce ILP in all tourist areas.

[Himalayan Hindu @himalayanhindu]

The obsession with breaking records has successfully turned the fragile Himalayas into the world's longest PARKING LOT. Joshimath is currently choking under a massive 25-30 KM long traffic jam. From Vishnuprayag to 15 km beyond, tourists are stuck in their cars for hours.

There should be an entry fee levied on every vehicle proportional to the number of vehicles entering. Even the yesteryear quiet villages of south Goa is swarming with outstation vehicles chocking the already narrow roads.

They have destroyed the plains and now they are all headed to the hills to finish off what is left.

Another fascinating article by my friend @kejimao, who remains one of the most thought-provoking geopolitical scholars in China: https://t.co/Qq9yKEQ8eZ

He tackles an apparent contradiction that I know many people are struggling with: if there is indeed some form of detente between the U.S. and China, why then is the U.S. still selling the "China threat" narrative to countries like India, Japan, and South Korea?

Mao's thesis: the U.S. now understands it cannot contain or suppress China anymore - that game is over. But the narrative remains enormously profitable. Keeping allies scared means keeping them buying US weapons, US energy, US technology. The China threat has gone from strategic doctrine to market preservation, or - as Mao puts it - from treating "allies" as "chess pieces" to treating them as "blood bags" (as in the medical bags you drain until it's empty and then discard).

Mao, being an India specialist and writing in an Indian paper, warns India it is particularly vulnerable to this because whatever leverage India once had over Washington has largely evaporated. The U.S. needed India when it believed it could contain China. It no longer believes that - which means India has gone from being courted to being invoiced.

There is, interestingly, a parallel to this around green energy that I myself highlighted in several of my articles (such as this one in Le Monde Diplomatique last December: https://t.co/eL9GRZSkGD).

Trump's anti-renewable rhetoric - "drill, baby, drill," calling green energy a "hoax" - functions exactly like this: it's not really about energy policy at home (renewables made up an extraordinary 88% of new US power generating capacity in 2025: https://t.co/b01fgI5inG), it's about keeping others dependent on US fossil fuels.

In essence, as things stand, neither the "China threat" nor the "green energy hoax" are operative strategies. They're sales pitches. The U.S. doesn't act on either one - it installs renewables at home and pursues détente with Beijing. The narratives exist for the purpose of keeping invoices flowing to countries foolish enough to drink the Kool-Aid.

You know I am feeling slightly angry today. This image triggers me but also brings some melancholia.

I grew up reading Tolkien. His works, especially The lord of the rings, carry a recurring warning about “diminishment”. We fade and become as shadow of our former selves. Everything nobel faces a gradual loss of vitality, nobility, creativity, and human potential in the face of power, and the pursuit of domination.

The “long defeat” of history amid glimpses of victory. This image represents that. I have seen this nation rise from utter ruin to greatness, carried aloft on the shoulders of her daughters and sons who engaged in the grand project. We were supposed to be transformed into a great nation by 2020. We wrote books about that future. We dreamed as we toiled at this.

But I have seen her diminish. The worst instincts of her worst unleashed. Bound by the chains of civilisational trauma.

This can’t be the end. Feels like it though. It’s late and I have been driving all day and maybe I am just tired. I will feel better about this tomorrow. I read a poem , an essay and a short story every week. I will read Tagore tonight . I need the hope.

“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action—
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”

I will feel better tomorrow morning.

.@Ferrari has unveiled the HC25, a new addition to its exclusive One-Off series under the Special Projects programme. The open-top roadster is built on the architecture of the F8 Spider, inheriting its layout, chassis, and non-hybrid turbocharged V8 engine, making it the last Ferrari roadster to feature this mid-rear V8 configuration without electrification.

The HC25 is powered by a 3,902cc V8 turbocharged engine producing 720 cv at 7,000 rpm, with a maximum torque of 770 Nm. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 340 km/h, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch F1 gearbox. Visually, it features a dual-volume body structure, boomerang-shaped DRLs (a first for any Ferrari), custom-designed headlamp modules, and a matt Moonlight Grey finish contrasted by a glossy black central band. The entire design and build process took approximately two years, with the single client closely involved throughout.

As a true One-Off, the HC25 exists as a single unit, custom-built to the specifications of one client, representing the highest tier of personalisation Ferrari offers. It positions itself as a design bridge between the brand's iconic mid-rear V8 era and its current flagship direction seen in the 12Cilindri and F80. No production run or broader availability is planned; the car will be on public display at COTA on Sunday.
