parthenium is a harmful weed that is a nightmare in areas where there are open spaces. When the Congress government imported grains, the seeds of this toxic plant came with it and it soon became an invasive weed taking over every inch of space in India.
An NRI friend who has his house in the outskirts of the city had asked me how to get rid of this time and again (this is a serious problem even in agricultural farms) and I’d suggested him the use of Cassia tora to reduce Parthenium in number. It worked well in our own residential layout where I would order Cassia tora seeds every year and spread them around. Today, the parthenium has reduced immensely here.
Found Dr. M Mahadevappa's book on this in #Kannada last weekend while looking for some books on https://t.co/r1inxwainH:

I switched to खपली आटा last Wednesday. Since then, I’ve been having a continuous mild headache.
Initially ignored it thinking it was tiredness from a family wedding in Patiala, but it’s still there. BP is normal.
Is it possible due to खपली आटा? Any similar experiences or views?
Would really appreciate your inputs!
@SandeepParekh It is obviously very difficult for you to justify Lenin statue in Bengal 😁, in fact there is a Lenin Sarani in Kolkata also . Please don’t justify violence by questioning why there is a Lenin statue
My exit poll! As I leave #Bengal, it would be a disservice not to say this: I have come to deeply admire the way women inhabit space here. There is a quiet, almost subconscious elevation of women as independent beings . something that stands in stark contrast to the entrenched misogyny that still finds resonance across much of northern India. Perhaps it stems from a cultural understanding of shakti. A form of empowerment that manifests here in ways both subtle and profound, unlike anywhere else in the country, even in the south.
Any woman journalist who has covered political rallies across India will recognize the difference immediately. Other states, a crowd is not just a logistical challenge, it carries risk. the inevitability of wandering hands, the violation masked by chaos. Here, the crowds are no less dense, the air no less heavy with sweat and alcohol—but the hands, for the most part, do not grope. Men step aside to make way. When contact happens, as it inevitably does in chaos, there is visible embarrassment rather than entitlement. What you encounter is not chivalry, but something far rarer: equality. And equality feels far more meaningful. Was never a fan of chivalry in any case :)
There is more. Women politicians across party lines campaign with a striking freedom, aggressive, sharp, unapologetically irreverent, often using what would elsewhere be labelled as ‘masculine’ rhetoric. In most states, such behaviour would invite judgment, even censure. Here, it is met with acceptance, applause. What feels liberating to an outsider is, in Bengal, simply normal. What we frame as empowerment here is a cultural undercurrent.
I have covered four elections in this state, and each time I have returned with the same sense of awe. Bengal, meanwhile, ambles on with a certain bemusement, as if unaware of what sets it apart. But it is a big deal. And perhaps the most remarkable part is that Bengal does not think so.
Governments will come and go. One can only hope that this constant endures, not just how Bengal sees its women, but how, in many ways, it doesn’t. ♥️♥️♥️
