Remember, Remember !

Let this picture of Ankita Bhandari's parents being brutally dragged be a reminder how this Government treats its own citizens.

This is the beginning of the END.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government should stop the ill-treatment and arbitrary detention of protesters, allow people to protest peacefully, and restore mobile internet services and freedom of movement.

Neha Bora delivered a fiery speech standing alongside INDIA bloc leaders 🔥

The BJP can so easily compromise on the Constitution and democracy because it played no role in laying the foundations of India’s democracy. 🔥🇮🇳✊🏽

Cjp boys should just to follow neha bora’s lead

[Rajat Jain @RajatJain]

Fake Neha bora tricked Delhi police, and then arrives the real one😭😭

This frenzy is crazy 😂✊🇮🇳

[Dr.Medusa @ms_medusssa]

When you rethink about today, remember @neha_aisa marched WITH the people, deceived the police that was detaining anyone found BREATHING near Jantar Mantar for over an hour, and almost reached the venue before she was CHOKED while being detained FORCEFULLY.

That is how you lead. By example. Not diktats. Not shadow fights. Not statements.

Like i always say. WOMEN WILL LEAD THE REVOLUTION.

It’s Narendra Modi who has breached the peace of our beloved nation.

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

#India: We are concerned by reports of mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, members of civil society organisations, lawyers and journalists, before and during today’s large-scale demonstrations in Delhi.

We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected and fulfilled.

थोड़ा उमर ख़ालिद, शरजील इमाम को भी याद कीजिए। छह साल हो गए। ट्रायल भी नहीं। ज़मानत भी नहीं। आकृति चौधरी को भी याद कीजिए, जिस पर फ़र्ज़ी आधार पर NSA लगा दिया गया, सत्यम वर्मा को भी याद कीजिए। स्टेन स्वामी और साईं बाबा को भी। दस साल साईं बाबा को बिना किसी आधार के जेल में रखा गया।

सड़क पर सुरक्षा बलों की तैनाती आपातकाल की आहट बताई जा रही है। दरअसल यह तेरह साल की चुप्पियों के अपराधबोध की सांस्थानिक अभिव्यक्ति है।

#MakeKohliOpeninODIs

[Abhishek AB @ABsay_ek]

I want to tell you about a number that broke my brain yesterday. 899 runs in 11 ODI innings. That is what Virat Kohli has done recently. Sounds impossible, right?
Wait! He once made almost 1000 runs in just 10 innings(995 runs to be precise) . That is a man rewriting what human beings are allowed to do with a cricket bat.

But here is the thing that actually made me sit down and stare at the wall. Take any stretch of innings. Any! From 10 to 50 to 100 to 200 to 375. Pick one at random. Kohli has more runs in that stretch than anyone else who has ever played this game. He has not even played 375 ODIs. He might never play 375 ODIs. The record exists in a future that has not hapkened yet and he already owns it.

But numbers are not why I am writing this random post.

He said something after West Indies game. He said he got a challenge to unlock a new version. To up the ante. To play a gear higher.

His ODI blueprint was already perfect. Everyone said so. You cannot improve on perfection. But he did. He is hitting aerial shots now, straight away, as soon as he walks in. No settling period. No getting stuck against spin. No weakness for any software to find. If you fed his batting into most advanced analysis program on earth and asked for one flaw, one tiny crack, the machine would probably overheat and shut down.

He made 139* off 88 balls. His 3rd fastest century. 15000 runs ticked off like it was nothing. Like it was just another Sunday.

What gets me is not the numbers. It is the refusal. refusal to be finished. refusal to let age decide when his story ends. He could have walked away years ago, rich and famous and untouchable. Instead he chose to keep evolving, keep working, keep finding that extra gear when everyone assumed all the gears were already used up.
Because we have watched the other Virat too. The angry one, the one carrying the whole country on his back, the one who never let himself breathe. Somewhere in these 20 years he learnt to put that weight down. And the runs only got louder when he did.

He plays with a free mind now. That is what he says. And you can see it. The joy is back. violence is controlled. hunger is still there, burning quidtly under everything.

Some players retire and become memories. Kohli is becoming something else. Something we do not have a word for yet.

He is not playing cricket anymore. He is composing a love letter to the game and we are lucky enough to read it as he writes.

Whoever and whatever took more of kohli (all format kohli) away from us is not seeing heaven
