Indian babu will write a 500-word essay for UPSC on how to make India clean and why major policy reforms are required. But when he becomes the DM of a district, he won't even be able to fix a single pothole near his own residence. 😭😭😭

A giant of the Mara has fallen.
Fred, an iconic Mara Tusker, was found dead today of natural causes. Well into his fifth decade, Fred served as a symbol of the success @KWSKenya and Mara Elephant Project achieved in combatting ivory poaching over the last 15 years.
Fred’s counterparts didn’t live to see old age. How lucky we are that he did.
Collared since 2013, his tracking informed an approach that other Tuskers across Kenya benefited from. Even in death, Fred is the emblem for the Maasai Mara’s magic; thriving despite the challenges and contributing to a brighter future.
He will be missed, but what a life well lived.
We will be remembering Fred in the coming days. Stay tuned for more opportunities to join us in celebrating the life of this gentle giant.

"We waited for 11 hours from 4am till 3pm to receive our Father's body from mortuary after completing 100s of procedures of Kerala Police. Without any procedure, the accused went on bail even before we got to see our father's dead body" - Victim Jayabalakrishnan's children 😭
The recent Mercedes-Benz accident in Kochi has sparked public outrage after the children of victim Jayabalakrishnan questioned the apparent difference between the procedures their family had to endure and the speed with which the 17-year-old accused was released on station bail.
The children of Jayabalakrishnan started their protest late evening yesterday even before their father's dead body haven't yet finished burning, before the police station at Cheranalloor. Jayabalakrishnan's death is not merely a story about a damaged luxury car or a controversial bail decision. It is the loss of a working father whose family now has to face life without him.
Their demand is ultimately for a fair investigation, accountability under the law and assurance that the circumstances of their father's death will not be overlooked.

Can you at least tag the correct handle and spare me from wondering why I am being tattled on? I have never circulated any video against the country and our defence forces and I resent you saying that I have.
My request @DelhiPolice @AmitShah @BSF_India @HomeMinistr2024 - pls

Agree. That's my favourite communist will always remain Jyoti Babu.
He was the consummate Communist, imagining a world without possessions while sipping on scotch (ironically Blue not Red Label) in a sprawling bungalow.
He epitomised the living dichotomy of modern-day blue-blooded aristocratic activists, do as I say, not do as I do.

Being born into affluence, possessing a luxury automobile, or belonging to a political dynasty does not inherently invalidate one’s commitment to communism. #Communism is an ideological conviction, not a certificate of poverty.
I often tell my students that, philosophically speaking, a baby’s first cry may be interpreted as the most rudimentary assertion of a fundamental right, the instinctive demand for nourishment, care, and survival. Although an infant is incapable of comprehending political ideology, that primordial cry symbolises an innate human need and the instinct to secure what is essential for existence.
Therefore, before branding @neha_aisa Neha Bora a fraud merely because she or her family may possess an expensive car, we must learn to distinguish ideological commitment from personal affluence. Scrutinise her arguments, interrogate her actions, and expose any demonstrable contradictions in her principles. But condemning someone’s political convictions solely on the basis of their family’s wealth is intellectual superficiality, not a substantive critique of ideology.

I had a request to repost this photo (a purple swamphen at Mount Gambier from years ago).
This is me when I see the aggressive driver that sped past me pulled over by the cops up the road 😂
(Actually - this hasn't happened - but I keep wishing it would.)
