“I think here I will leave you. It has come to seem
there is no perfect ending.
Indeed, there are infinite endings.
Or perhaps, once one begins,
there are only endings.”

I'm glad Maharashtra is NOT a BJP ruled state, because those states are going to see a crisis of unimaginable proportions
Criticize Uddhav all you want, he's doing a better job than other CMs, all this while keeping the circling BJP vultures of the carcass

This is one reason parakeet populations are growing in urban Pune
They are being fed regularly.
Only consolation - at least they aren't pigeons.

My dad is now off all life support except oxygen. He is on his way to a slow recovery.
I'm relieved. To see him sit up after twelve days of teetering on the edge.
For all the prayers and wishes, thank you. We are immensely grateful.

they are the best indicator species.
if there are wolves, you know the grassland is healthy.
it's amazing that they survive with huge human pressures

What an amazing image of a leopard roaming the grasslands to the south-east of

Our leopards are alive and well, and despite the conflict they're making a stand.

Spending time encouraging kids to play in the mud and puddles, to catch fish, crabs, bugs. Teaching them it's not 'dirty'.
A love for nature must be inculcated, urban kids are growing up disconnected from the land and seasons. It should be an essential element of childhood.

In Marathi brahmin households in Pune, this sort of talk is normal and accepted. The breeding of hate.
Open calls for genocide of India’s Muslims by Hindu clergy in the capital. No prizes for guessing that there would be no arrests. Guess who infiltrated the Akharas in the 80’s with money & muscle power ? The world’s oldest fascist organization masquerading as an “NGO”.

Mumbai-Goa highway is a fucking joke. It's a national highway. And is catered like the surface of the moon. Vehicular traffic is moving at 10 kmph.
As for the state highways, they're no better. In all these Gadkari years, where is the improvement?

If you live in peninsular India, and ever come across this centipede. Stay away and do not handle it. It has a venomous bite that'll leave you in pain for days.

Go to Satara. Ask where the windmills are. Head there when the heat is at its hellish best. And being out under the sun feels like an oven on high broil.
Deal with the discomfort. To see the Fan-throated lizard. Sitana ponticeriana

The Amur falcons from north-east India are flying through Pune district, many will stay a few days to refuel, before heading to the coast. Then making a transoceanic flight to South Africa, where they winter during our summer.
A round trip of 22,000 kilometres!

The ancestral home in the Konkan was built using environmentally friendly materials, and has stood for more than hundred years.
The present generation wants to demolish it and build a modern house. 🤷♂️

Bullock cart services between Pune and Panvel advertised in early 18th century.
Before the time of bridges, people took a boat from Panvel into the Bombay of the time.

Did you know there are at least two species of jackfruit? One commonly sold in markets with smooth dry flesh. It can be cut and is called 'kaaapa'
In the Konkan we have another species, it's called 'barka', it has to be broken apart, and is has a custard like snotty flesh

Wife has woken early to make 'sandana'(Marathi), a steamed rice cake flavored with jackfruit. It's eaten with coconut milk with jaggery added. Only the 'barka' (variety of jackfruit can be used. Very time consuming. Part of the Kokani heritage preserved.
Pics later.

I'm seeing people tweet about tomato prices hitting 100+rs per kilogram
just thinking back four months, farmers were getting less than ONE RUPEE PER KG and dumped tons of tomatoes because it wasn't even worth it to spend labour hours picking & transport them to the market

In India it's kinda amazing how even 'love marriages' are caste bound.
This is the perpetuation of the caste system. As one of my friends put it, "how come brahmins fall in love only with brahmins?"
