Further, every “western“ nation and their allies need to close down nuclear weapons programs if their’s is an expectation that no nations in the global majority shall have them either. Regardless, the former’s passports should be downgraded, and all free movement privileges ended for a long time.
The ”war” on Iran, is not a war. It’s part ofcolonial expansion and an assault on the majority people of the world. This attack is on brand with the history of western regimes, ones which have often channelled their own religious nationalism in justification of their barbarism to humankind.
The ICC and ICJ should not be headquartered in The Hague. Instead, there need to be multiple courts spread out across West Asia, Africa, South America, and South East Asia. And the entire western world needs to be tried for the devastation they’ve wrought on Earth and its peoples.
As the daughter of a former Indian Naval Officer, I know my late father would have been aghast upon hearing of the dastardly act committed by the US against IRIS Dena in India's backyard. Condolences to all the families of the crew on board who lost their lives. Long Live Iran, Glory to Iran.
The trauma and injuries of these imperial enforcers is endlessly valourised in the disgusting propaganda constantly produced without any state coercion by the American entertainment industry. As far as I'm concerned, all of their lauded PTSD is simply a way to say killing brown people upset them too
Americans love to respect their soldiers so let me make this clear: their military is an imperialist bully-squad, deployed worldwide to remind various parts of the world of America's military might, and always ready to kill whichever non-white people are in the current administration's crosshairs.
They never joke about US portions, do they. :-O
Implore everyone to read this fantastic piece on nature, place, and caste in an Indian city, by Shailja Paik. One of my deepest grouses with natural history writing is how it is often apolitical. Important pieces like Paik's break and re-build perspective.

ooh my brother has been talking of this film for a while. Glad it won! Hope to catch it soon. :)
Had first heard of Upamanyu Bhattacharya & Kalp Sanghvi's Wade in 2019. Finally caught up with it today. A brilliant short film of an otherworldly quality on the horrors of climate change, set in a post apocalyptic Kolkata. #FilmSky

Hehehe! No, no. Didn’t know. I’m enlightened now. :D
I couldn’t get over the adult cat size reference. Was chuckling over it in the evening and telling my spouse about this burrito you had. 😂
I know not where this bakery is, but I get the sentiment. My husband and I feel the same way about cheap pineapple pastries anywhere in India. Forever sickly sweet and chemically in aftertaste, but also just. So. Perfect! 😍 The lone preserved cherry and one stewed pineapple piece on top seals it.
Hahahaha! Did you have to refrigerate it thrice before each sitting over several days. Or did you take mini breaks through a single day and carpe diem it.
There’s all kinds of stuff happening there. Over on the birdsite someone was once mentioning of how Polish people have been verrryyy interested in Indian cookbooks and some Indian Bookstores keep getting international orders of these. :D
I am feeding a tuxedo cat in a park in daytime, while a dog looks on at the scene.
I have returned with the image. :D
I should have a picture somewhere in my camera roll, in which I am feeding a treat to a stray cat in my old neighbourhood in New Delhi, and a street dog is in the background with the most forlorn expression on his face because he knows he cannot join in. And he would be smacked for trying. :D
Not a single thing Natasha Noorani can do wrong in my eyes. #MusicSky

Been a bit distant from music recently cause I’ve been in no shape for a while to enjoy things. But I heard this beautiful version of Badayuni’s Jo Main jaanti a few days ago, and I’m glad there’s music in this world. A balm to carry you through any trial. #MusicSky

thank you for replying Madhav! alright! Good to know. I’ll also ask the airlines at the check in desk what it involves. Even if it’s just from check in at departures to baggage at arrivals, it’ll save me huge trauma.
Hello All! I have a question that I'd be glad for some guidance on. When you book wheelchair assistance with an airline due to medical reasons/disability, is it valid for the entire trip? That's Security-Border Control-Boarding Gate at Departures, to Border Control-Baggage-Cab Pick up at Arrivals?
Snow deepening over different days on a deck.
Five consecutive days of snow. No outdoor pictures because I injured myself on NYE so I’m mostly bed bound. 🥲 But I’ve heard it’s extremely pretty everywhere across NL!
You're in for a treat. :) I loved the first season. The second one can be a bit slow-ish. The writing is top notch, and captures the excitement of India's early space program and the surrounding politics+political atmosphere of hope+sovereignty. Jim Sarbh is incredible as Homi Bhabha.
Easily one of the finest shows out there on Indian OTT, but also one of the most criminally underrated ones. For the start of 2026, I found myself humming the intro theme of Rocket Boys, and simply had to re-share it. Composed by Achint Thakkar. #MusicSky

Ohhh that way. Haha! May you not encounter them much then. Although they are slightly more tolerable to talk to than "centrists." :D
They do. They are the bane of my life here in NL. :D
That aside, happy new year! :)
Are you meeting liberals who call themselves leftists too? This is one vere level googly they throw.

Wishing everyone on Bluesky a warm, joyous New Year ahead. Laal Salaam, may good prevail over everything!
