Today is Ahoi Ashtami, a day where I keep a fast for the kiddos. This year, I can't help but keep thinking about the kind of the world we ar leaving behind for our children. 😕

Three more subscribers, and I'd hit a double century on Substack. I write a bit about the weather, a bit on the climate, without fail on reading, sometimes on creativity/writing, usually about the places I see, or the birds I spot, or the flowers and trees I admire. Interested?
Getting fed-up with the reelification of each ritual. I mean showering rose petals on MIL for getting first sargi? What nonsense. What is next? Elaborate daawat for eating the same sargi in full makeup? Kuch to chhod do

They stopped the flow of the Ganga near Har ki paudi at Haridwar for next 18 days just so they can clean it before Diwali. And the moment the water level dropped the truth came out...the entire riverbed is buried under clothes, plastic bags, discarded slippers, and pure filth.
The natural stones that should be there..but completely hidden under our garbage.
Year after year the same story bhakts leave behind their waste the administration stops the water once a year, locals cleans up the mess we created and then we start dumping again the moment the water returns. 😒
You cant revere a river as divine and simultaneously turn her into a landfill.
If this is how we treat the river we claim to worship then maybe we dontt deserve to call her MAA at all.
Period !!
Have just washed 3 laundry baskets. Tell me I have not gone too far in my diwali ki safayi? #diwalikisafayi

After the West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer and a BJP spokesperson questioned DeKoder's earlier SIR analysis, Prannoy Roy (@PrannoyRoy7749) responds with a closer look at the data.
Is counting seats won enough to understand SIR's electoral impact? What does the vote swing reveal that the seat tally doesn't?
Watch till the end and follow DeKoder for more.

I strongly feel that we in Uttarakhand cannot always keep measuring tourism success only by the number of people entering our towns or pilgrim places. This is a myopic, illogical and immature approach. More pilgrims or tourists do not automatically always mean higher incomes or better livelihoods. Roads, water, waste systems, forests & local communities all have limits. The state must assess carrying capacity & regulate tourism accordingly, even if it means saying no to unchecked growth. The Himalayas are not an unlimited commercial resource. It's time to put people & ecology before a new record. That's a more sensible and a more grounded approach.

Senior journalist Sreenivasan Jain expresses shock after witnessing a woman journalist being detained by Delhi Police while covering protests in the national capital.
Speaking to DeKoder, Jain says the reporter had identified herself, was carrying her press credentials and was visibly equipped with a microphone. Despite repeated objections from Jain and other journalists present, he says police took her away.
Jain alleges that the detention happened under the supervision of a senior IPS officer and calls the incident “appalling.”
The incident comes hours after the Supreme Court's October 11 hearing, during which the Court recorded an assurance that journalists, lawyers and other professionals would not be obstructed in performing their duties.

this government’s priorities are genuinely fucking disgusting. just two weeks ago, hundreds of lady shri ram college students were on the streets protesting for basic rights, demanding functional CCTV cameras, better lighting, pink booths, security especially around gate 7 & the back gate. women were on the streets demanding basic safety and the government headed by rekha gupta couldn’t show the same urgency.
but just a day before the Jantar Mantar protest on 10th october, suddenly there’s an order to install 1,000+ cameras around the protest site. THOUSANDS. yeah they successfully installed more than thousand cameras in just 2 days. apparently, the government knows how to mobilise resources overnight when it comes to keeping an eye on citizens who raise their voices, but becomes deaf, dumb and paralysed when young women from one of the finest institution of this country demands protection in the nation’s capital.
they have the machinery to watch you, the manpower to stop you and the resources to control & suppress you. what they apparently lack is the urgency to protect you.
the most fucking shameful part? delhi has a woman chief minister, yet women’s safety seems to be the last thing on this government’s priority list. when women demand protection, the system goes silent. when citizens prepare to protest, suddenly the cameras, barricades and police are ready. if a woman becoming chief minister doesn’t make women’s safety a priority in nation’s capital, then what the fuck was the point of having one? and some of you spineless clowns still have the fucking audacity to defend this government & their spineless actions?!!
As always Dr. Roy bringing the best analysis
How the SIR deletions affect the Bengal election results? Were certain categories of voters targeted and if so, what were the consequences?
Does the analysis of Bengal elections suggest any lessons for the forthcoming state elections?
Prannoy Roy (@PrannoyRoy7749) uses data on SIR deletions and swings in votes to answer these and other questions about the impact of SIR on the Bengal elections.
