"In #Udaipur, once upon a time, hyenas came to feast on Dadijaan’s pots of vinegar and Daddy just went to the perennial stream by our home to catch fish if there were guests at home. Foxes lived in graveyards, peacocks danced in the rain. Now the #Aravalli range are turning arid."
On the #wildlife he had in our cities, what we lost, what we must fight to retain & why.
Beautiful piece in @IndianExpress by @ATehsin (and can i come live in #Colombo too-i want fireflies on my spoon & a monitor or two in my garden..
@IndianExpress: #Bengaluru needs a tunnel and 1,128 #trees must make way...I can't name a single metropolis in India where a firefly lands on your spoon as you are about to serve aloo-gobhi.
Here are the lessons I have learnt from #Colombo's city wildlife.

With its intriguing premise and mounting suspense, @ATehsin's novel invites readers to question how well we can ever know the truth and whether some secrets are too dangerous to uncover.

Today is Jayaprakash Narayan’s birth anniversary. Incidentally the JP movement of 1974 was a massive student-led protest against corruption and misgovernance, during Indira Gandhi’s govt.
It gave us regional leaders like Mulayam Singh Yadav, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Nitish Kumar

"The Fourth Girl" is a compelling blend of mystery and human drama, driven by strong, multifaceted characters.

To be read with concern to our present and future.
Double blasting the #Aravalli? Really?
"The Aravalli is old. Older than the Himalaya, older than our arguments. It did not, however, anticipate being improved."
Thanks @himalay_peace to bringing this to light & @IndianExpress for publishing it.

#ExpressOpinion | "The Aravallis are old. Old enough to know better than to expect gratitude. Older than the Himalayas, older than our arguments. The low hills with no interest in grandeur. That, perhaps, is their biggest mistake."

वो लोग बहुत ख़ुशक़िस्मत थे
जो इश्क़ को काम समझते थे
या काम से आशिक़ी करते थे
हम जीते जी मसरूफ़ रहे
कुछ इश्क़ किया, कुछ काम किया
काम इश्क़ के आड़े आता रहा
और इश्क़ से काम उलझता रहा
फिर आख़िर तंग आकर हमने
दोनों को अधूरा छोड़ दिया
