In search of new kind of politics and new type of media

[Sasikanth Senthil @s_kanth]

There is a memory I carry with me from my years as a civil servant. It has never left me....
Back then, I had just been transferred as Collector to Mangalore, a city then shadowed by communal violence and a menacing sand mafia. Before I left, word came that the Chief Minister wished to see me personally. It was unusual. Collectors don't typically get called in. I walked into his chamber with a knot in my stomach.
He looked at me, that familiar, unreadable face. Steady. Unhurried.
"Banri…" he said. (Come in.)
"Nimage ondhe kelasa… alli ennum communal aaga baradhu."
(You have only one job there. No communal incident should happen.)
That was it. No preamble. No politics. No performance. Just a Chief Minister, alone with a young IAS officer, telling him exactly what mattered. In that single sentence lived an entire philosophy of governance. one rooted not in optics, but in the protection of ordinary people from extraordinary hatred.

Fifteen days later, Mangalore erupted. Two communal murders, two communities, one city on edge. He called me again. Just as directly.
"DC... Do what is required. Take anyone into custody, even our party people. Don't bother. But stop this within a day."
To a young collector, those words were everything. They were permission. They were protection. They were political will at its most honest.
I have known the contrast too. Under a different dispensation, in a similar crisis, the instruction from the top was the opposite. Do nothing strongly. Let things fester. …That silence said everything about who governs for whom.
Siddaramaiah Ji was never that kind of leader.

He carried government finances in his fingertips and social justice in his spine. He refused to tour places that reeked of feudalism. He spoke plainly, governed sharply, and stood on the side of the last person in the room.
If there was one political figure I have genuinely admired, from the stage and up close, it has been him. His legacy is not in the schemes he launched or the budgets he read. It is in the kind of Chief Minister he chose to be when no one was watching. . On that quiet phone call. In the way he asked a nervous young officer to go out and keep the peace.
And now, as he steps back with the same quiet dignity with which he always led, I find myself moved. He has handled this transition with the grace of someone who always knew that principles outlast positions.
Siddaramaiah Ji....long life, good health, and please keep guiding us. The Congress, and this country, still needs the kind of moral clarity only you carry so naturally.

[Dr Nimo Yadav 2.0 @DrNimoYadav]

4 years ago, Modi was making fun of Pandit Nehru in Parliament for talking about inflation caused by war.

Today, the same Modi is going everywhere asking citizens to save fuel, avoid buying gold, use less cooking oil, and whatnot.

Life is a full circle ⭕️

[Shruti Dhore @ShrutiDhore]

If you choose an illiterate clown, you'll only get a circus. 🤡

Yesterday, Modi was talking about saving petrol, and today, for his own amusement, he's flying fighter jets over the Somnath Temple.

I left for bombay at 6.30 am like the hard working professional that I am & stopped the car at 7 am to make this reel as I’ve long realised that silence is not a virtue & one must speak up when they are disrespected. Yes if wrong things happen at any workplace that are against basic human rights, me & all of us should speak up. I don’t care about the personal trolling, I’m used to it last 5 years since shark tank but the purpose of this reel is to request all the proud Indians in this country to start speaking up when they see something wrong, out of humanity, out of patriotism. Jai hind. Now off to another joyful & complex day at work !

[Yogendra Yadav @_YogendraYadav]

Anantha passed away this morning, around 3 am on 18 April. He went away peacefully. An end that he had prepared himself and all of us for. Leading the kind of life he did and facing death the way he did should be an aspiration for all of us.

Ananthapadmanabhan Guruswamy would be remembered for many of his accomplishments and contributions: CEO of Amnesty International in India, the International Programme Director at Greenpeace, CEO of Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives (APPI) and the founder of Socrates. An alumnus of IIT Madras and a former teacher at The School – Krishnamurti Foundation India, he would be remembered as one of the most gifted and amazing minds that could think across fields and come up with out of box solutions. Colleagues in Bharat Jodo Abhiyaan would remember him as an unending source of ideas and energy for our work.

We met through his partner Kavita Kuruganti. Over the last five years, I had the honour of calling him my friend — actually, my guide and life coach. The beautiful way he embraced cancer and prepared for death has been a life lesson for me.

His body would be kept at home (#606, Petunia Block, Sankalp Central Park, Yadavagiri, Mysuru) till 3pm today before being taken for cremation. Cremation will be done at 4pm in Gokulam.

Alvida Ananth, as you begin your ananta journey. Till we join!

ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ ಎರಡು ವಿಧ.
ನೈಜ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಮತ್ತು ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗರ ನಕಲಿ ಕ್ಷಮೆ!

ನೈಜ ಕ್ಷಮೆಯ ಹಿಂದೆ ಪಶ್ಚಾತಾಪವಿರುತ್ತದೆ, ವಿಚಾರ ಪಕ್ವತೆ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ, ಜಾಗೃತಿ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ, ತಪ್ಪೆಸಗಿದ್ದಕ್ಕೆ ಗಿಲ್ಟ್ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ.

ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯವರ ನಕಲಿ ಕ್ಷಮೆಗೆ ಕಾರಣಗಳೇ ಬೇರೆ,
ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗರ ಕ್ಷಮೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪಶ್ಚಾತಾಪವಿರುವ ಬದಲು ಅಹಂಕಾರವಿರುತ್ತದೆ, ಅವರ ಕ್ಷಮೆಯ ಹಿಂದೆ ಅವಕಾಶವಾದಿತನ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ ಅಥವಾ ಕಾನೂನಿನ ಭಯವಿರುತ್ತದೆ, ಇಲ್ಲವೇ ಜನಾಕ್ರೋಶದ ಒತ್ತಡ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ ಅಷ್ಟೇ.
ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗರದ್ದು ಸ್ವಯಂಪ್ರೇರಣೆಯ, ಜ್ಞಾನೋದಯದ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಅಲ್ಲವೇ ಅಲ್ಲ.

ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗರ ಮನಃಪೂರ್ವಕವಲ್ಲದ ದುರಹಂಕಾರದ ಕ್ಷಮೆಗೆ ಉದಾಹರಣೆ ಹಲವು ಇವೆ.
ಕಲಬುರಗಿ ಜಿಲ್ಲಾಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳಿದ ಪರಿಷತ್ ಸದಸ್ಯ ರವಿಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರು ಘನಂದಾರಿ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಿದವರಂತೆ ಮೆರವಣಿಗೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಠಾಣೆಗೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾರೆ ಎಂದರೆ ಅವರ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇವಲ ಬೂಟಾಟಿಕೆಯದ್ದು ಹೊರತು ಮನಃಪೂರ್ವಕವಾದುದಲ್ಲ.

ನಟ ಪ್ರಕಾಶ್ ರಾಜ್ ಅವರನ್ನು ಅವಹೇಳನ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದ ಪ್ರತಾಪ್ ಸಿಂಹ ಕಾನೂನಿನ ಒತ್ತಡಕ್ಕೆ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ಸೋಫಿಯಾ ಖುರೇಶಿಯವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಕೆಟ್ಟದಾಗಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದ ವಿಜಯ್ ಷಾ ಜನಾಕ್ರೋಶಕ್ಕೆ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
ನನಗೆ ನಾಯಿ ಎಂದಿದ್ದ ನಾರಾಯಣಸ್ವಾಮಿಯವರು ಜನಾಕ್ರೋಶದ ಒತ್ತಡಕ್ಕೆ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯವರು ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾವರ್ಕರ್ ಅವರ ಬದ್ಧತೆಯನ್ನಾದರೂ ತೋರಿಸಬೇಕು.
ಸಾವರ್ಕರ್ ಮನಃಪೂರ್ವಕವಾಗಿ ಬ್ರಿಟಿಷರ ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಕೇಳಿ, ನಂತರ ಬ್ರಿಟಿಷರ ಜೊತೆ ನಿಂತು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದ ಅವರ ಪ್ರಾಮಾಣಿಕತೆಯನ್ನು ಅನುಸರಿಸಬೇಕು!!!

Remission of Diabetes is very much possible with change in food habits - with a focus on carbohydrate restriction. Dr. Vasu from Bengaluru has written to ICMR on the same .

There is very low awareness that low carb dietary habits play a major role in diabetes remission & healing most chronic diseases.
The upcoming low carb conference organised by @shashiiyengar , @dlifein will be focusing on this -with experts from all over the world talking on this platform.

Has pictures of deities/holy places of all communities. All tourists have left now . ‘Please tell tourists to return without fear, this attack was not in the name of Kashmir.. we condemn it unconditionally.. ‘ #GroundZeroPahalgam

Follow-up from Mussoorie, Uttarakhand:

Despite being arrested for assaulting Kashmiri shawl vendors, all three accused have been released. Shockingly, no FIR was lodged. A senior Uttarakhand Police official informed me that since they apologized, hence no case has been registered.

This soft-pedaling of hate sends a dangerous message. Sixteen terrified vendors have now returned to Kashmir not because justice was served, but because justice was denied.

I still don't understand why PM Modi came back from Saudi Arabia.

He hasn't visited Jammu & Kashmir.

He didn't attend the important all party meeting.

He didn't hold any press conference after the attack.

He didn't meet the injured victims of the terrorist attack.

He didn't meet the families of the people who lost their lives.

Did he come back just to hold an election rally in Bihar?

[Jawhar Sircar @jawharsircar]

Just a recap:
. Tourists came in taxis belonging to Muslims
. Stayed in hotels owned by Muslims
. They ate food cooked by Muslims
. Rode Ponies owned by Muslims
. Did trekking Guided by Muslims.
. When terrorists started their attack, they were covered and protected by Muslims

. The first person to Die defending was a Muslim.

. Those who first came to help were Muslims
. Pony owners, atv rides and pillow back ride to safety done by Muslims.
. First Aid and Rescue done by Muslims
. Ambulance driven by Muslims
. Treated in Hospitals by Muslims Doctors and Nurses.
. Taxi drivers who drove the tourists back to Srinagar were Muslims.

And everywhere on Social Media, we see:
"All Muslims are Terrorists "
