🚨SCOOP🚨
Remember the 'Dancing Girl' from your history textbooks? Arms akimbo, bangles & necklace, she is the defining face of Indus Valley Civilisation.
But kids opening textbooks today will see a diff image.
NCERT's new Class 9 Arts textbook shades over her nude torso, which had appeared uncovered in book for at least 25 yrs, including under previous NDA govts.
Just over a year ago, NCERT tried to drop her from a Class 6 Social Science book over nudity concerns. An expert pushed back. Now, it appears to have found another way.

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

The strategic interests of India and the US do not converge. This has been clear for the last four years. Some people who believe in a simplistic application of structural realism, according to which both countries have a common rival in China,... 1/8

🚨 WTF?! Al Jazeera confirms 77,000 Japanese citizens were found dead alone in their homes last year, some undiscovered for months!
The crisis is so catastrophic that a yogurt delivery company is now the frontline survival network to check if the elderly have collapsed!

US State dept readout of Jaishankar-Rubio call indicates sharp differences:
"Secretary Rubio stressed that all commercial vessels should immediately comply with orders from U.S. forces as they seek to uphold peace and security in the Strait. He underscored that violations of the U.S. blockade and the illicit transport of Iranian oil will not be tolerated.

Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.

🚨 Massive controversy erupt in Wadala (East) ahead of #MumbaiMonsoon.
While private contractors were paid crores for mechanical drain cleaning, residents of LBS Nagar & Korba Salt Pans caught them using child laborers to manually haul toxic garbage out of deep nullahs with zero protective equipment.
This isn't just a scam; it’s a criminal violation of child rights. Strict action needed NOW! 🚨

a wise person once said “being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them” and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.

Vintage stuff..

Ganesh Talkies, Talcher. Crappy single screen theater.
A naive child in me would ask why can't we watch movies during the daytime? #Iykyk
Feel ancient, but it was Jurassic Park. Scared the hell out of me!

Similar for Talcher, Odisha.
High fluoride in water of NALCO affected villages.
Severe fluorosis cases.
But of course Talcher, despite contributing immensely to the Indian economy, has been cursed with having no leadership worth the salt. #Talcher

My latest piece is on the state sponsored disability & slow poisoning of kids in village of Dhanbad, Jharkhand.
For years the govt knew their water had high fluoride. It failed to provide them safe water. An entire generation of kids affected.

I have come to a conference. At the registration counter, they ask me which medicine company has done my registration. When I tell them that I have done it myself, from my own salary, they are surprised. One should look at their faces. I felt rebellious. Lol
