En Finlandia cambiaron los materiales sintéticos (caucho sintético, asfalto, plástico...) de los patios de las guarderías por suelo forestal, césped, musgo y arbustos; y los niños mejoraron su sistema inmune en sólo 28 días: mayor diversidad microbiana, más células T reguladoras, aumento de marcadores antiinflamatorias y mayor equilibrio inmunológico.

A los 2 años los beneficios persistían y se observaron mejoras adicionales: menos bacterias patógenas como Streptococcus en la piel y menor abundancia de bacterias asociadas a inflamación en el intestino.

@virenvjadhav @godbole_shilpa This is software only. There are booths at the expo who have built the hardware needed for soil testing.

@TheVishalKay @godbole_shilpa There are ways to capture the data by satellite and process it. The solution above doesnt do that.

✅ Update: Ganeshkhind Road Tree-Saving Campaign ✅

In March-April 2026, Parisar & activists basically me and @mhemachari pushed PMC for a better design on Ganeshkhind Road (Phase 2: RBI Office to Shimla Office Chowk).
Key moments:
• Site visit with HOD Roads Mr. Bankar — he acknowledged shoddy footpaths from Phase 1.
• 16 Apr: Met EE Mr. Waghmare & DE Mr. Kumbhar during RTI hearing — clarified Tree Act provisions for alternative design (not route).
• 29 Apr: Joint site inspection with PMC engineers, contractor (Nikhil Constructions) & Parisar team. Walked the full stretch, highlighted Metro constraints (stations every ~750m, pillars at 12m from median).
Our Proposal (IRC-compliant):
• Consistent 12m Motor Carriageway (4 lanes) + 7m slip lanes at flyovers
• Rest for NMT: 4.5m+ footpath + 2m cycle track + 2m MUZ
• Saves maximum (all 529) trees while ensuring smooth traffic & better pedestrian space

Progress:
• 30 Apr: EE Mr. Waghmare updated HOD Mr. Bankar — plan found workable. HOD agreed. Proposal submitted. Contractor to revise drawings.

Next Ask to PMC: Written acceptance of this alternative design strategy to save trees & build a people-friendly road as per IRC & Court orders.

We’re hopeful but vigilant.

Will keep pushing till it’s on paper!
Will save GK Road Trees.

@docyogi1 @MSEDCL maybe someone forgot to tell public to switch off their long running ACs in peak summer 😅

[Y @yaymini]

@MSEDCL no power in Pashan (Pune) since 7 am. If this was a planned outage no notice was given. Can you provide an update?

genuinely i’m moved by this

@PMCPune @punekarnews @TOIPune Thank you to everyone involved! The work was completed late night yesterday.

[Y @yaymini]

@PMCPune its been more than a month since the road was dug. Only false promises of fixing the road. Meanwhile people keep falling, adjusting to broken roads and infra. Your apology doesnt resolve the inconvenience faced for the bare minimum. Cc @punekarnews @TOIPune

[PMC Care @PMCPune]

@yaymini @punekarnews @TOIPune Sir/Madam,
We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Regarding your complaint please contact concerned officer PARAG SAWARKAR - 9112275015 JR. ENGINEER ( DEGREE STATE ) .
Thank You.

[Y @yaymini]

@PMCPune @punekarnews @TOIPune See the circled sections. Why is this road not being flattened using rollers? Unable to reach the officer. This is not done. Cc @punekarnews

[Y @yaymini]

@PMCPune @punekarnews @TOIPune Unable to reach the officer. Last mile work is remaining. To put tar on the patches and roll them.

[Y @yaymini]

@PMCPune Last week some shoddy soil filling work was done. This is the state now. Problem still not solved. @punekarnews @TOIPune

[Y @yaymini]

@PMCPune I had reported T66374 few weeks ago.Some temporary soil filling work was done on the unplanned digging of someshwarwadi road.After last week’s rains this is the condition(pic). Its now a crater blocking half the road causing pedestrian and 2wheeler mishaps.Fix this asap.

[Y @yaymini]

@PMCPune How would a new complaint help when the old one wasnt properly addressed? It’ll be more than a month that this road was dug up for no reason without any repair work done.

[Daniel 🇨🇦 @danielholkss]

I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point

Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home.

Nothing in that system is standing still.
The Moon is moving.
The Earth is moving.
Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here.
Adjust here.
Come back here.
And unlike nepa light, it infact works.

There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side.

I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything.

But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...

The 110th birth anniversary of the amazing Bismillah Khan. At one point, no Indian wedding would be complete without his magical shehnai playing in the background.
When the Indian flag was was unfurled at Delhi's historic Red Fort on 15th August 1947, Bismillah Khan was performing!

[Y @yaymini]

@PMCPune what kind of resolution is this? I need a timeframe by which this will be fixed. Starting random digging work without notifying the citizens of how much time its going to take is not acceptable.
