Her name is Thimmakka. (Akka means elder sister). Called Salu Marada Thimmakka. (Saalu = In a line, Mara = Tree).

She & her late husband planted banyan trees for an entire four kilometre stretch in Karnataka, and took care of them like children in a relatively dry area.

Cont'd
...cont'd

Now, Thimmakka, who dedicated her life for environment, got a Padma Shri.

When was the last time you saw a Padma award received in barefoot? That shows how Modi dignified these awards by giving to the most deserving Indians instead of dynasty brokers in Lutyens Dilli.
Imagine trees as wide as these for four km on either side of a road!
Imagine watering them and protecting them from animals during early years.

India should be ever grateful for such a noble soul as #SalumaradaTimmakka

I wonder.. why did it take so many decades for her Padma?

Chandra Mouleshwara temple, Hubballi, Karnataka.

900 years ago, our temple builders were well versed with Sun's movement across seasons. On #Shivaratri day, sun rays enter from the east on the main Linga, as well as a four faced Shiva in the second garbha griha, sequentially!
If you are in Hubballi, don't miss this nice 12th century architecture Hindu temple. You will be happy to see the exquisite carvings.
It is said, Deva shilpi Jakanachari built (assembled) this in 1 night!

Unfortunately the surroundings are poorly maintained and hard to get here.
After watching the rich carvings in every single wall of Chandramouleshwara temple, I wondered how come we have left such a treasured architecture so poorly?

You can't even park a small car nearby. Very narrow roads and nondescript road signs. We need to showcase heritage better

Pushpagiri is one of the tallest peaks in India outside the Himalayan range.
It is 5735 feet above sea level.

The mountain is called Kumara Parvata, dedicated to Lord Subrahmanya.
Recently, we climbed it.

Some videos and photos in this thread for those interested in hiking.
There are two ways to climb Kumara Parvata in the lush green western Ghats.

We chose the easier approach from Kodagu. Climb is just a couple of 1000 feet here. The one from Dakshina Kannada district is very tough and almost 2.5 times our effort.
The Pushpagiri forest office is very strict. Every plastic bottle is numbered. Every item is checked. Will forfeit deposit if you throw even one plastic item in the pristine forest.
And off late no camping allowed on the top. So plan well. Full distance is 7 KM up and 13 KM down!

Thread What are the implications of Anti-SAT success India developed and showed the world yesterday? #MissionShakti
🌐MISSION SHAKTI🌐

🔥 INDIA IS NOW SPACE WAR READY🔥

1⃣Many people were expecting war declaration, But this is more big...
....Remember after air strike, Pakistan had asked for the code of Spy Satellite from China?
Now we can destroy such satellites in war time.
Yes it is going to play an important role in Pakistan's permanent solution. @narendramodi #MissionShakti
2⃣India has entered its name as an elite space power.

3⃣An anti-satellite weapon A-SAT, successfully targeted live satellite on low earth orbit.

4⃣India’s anti-satellite weapon demonstrated today was from Integrated Test Range in Odisha.

5⃣All credit to PM @narendramodi

#MissionShakti - India's anti-satellite missile test - where we identify the satellite used during the test as well as address the multi-national meeting going on in Geneva on Militarization of Space & India's pre-emptive test to thwart any possible bans.
greatgameindia.com/mission-shakti…
Was #MissionShakti a defiant preemptive strike to thwart any attempts to ban testing of space-conflict weaponry that may result from ongoing 25 nations meet in Geneva on Militarisation of Space to be concluded today in the backdrop of India's #ASAT test?
greatgameindia.com/mission-shakti…
In the case of #MissionShakti, because of the low altitude of less than 300 km of the target satellite #MICROSATR, the debris threat will be limited. While space debris has become a bone of contention at the Geneva meet, we present here the actual figires.

Huge win for #India's scientists and technologists at DRDO. Successful anti-satellite (ASAT) missile system test. A low earth orbit satellite is targeted and destroyed. After #US, #Russia and #China, India fourth country to acquire this space capability. #MissionShakti
A quantum leap forward into the 21st century. Space is the future and #India is there. #MissionShakti is no less tectonic than #OperationShakti -- proud to be Indian.
Those asking whether #MissionShakti merited address to the nation by PM @narendramodi : Elections come and go, national achievements are forever. This is a big day for #India , a very big day.

1. As we get ready to celebrate a huge civil rights victory for LGBTQ community in #India, here is a short thread on the people who sowed the seeds for this day… so we know who to thank #PublicHealthHistory #HIVMovement #Section377
2. In 2002, some 30-odd health workers from Naz Foundation were picked up by cops for counselling gay men. They were booked under #Section377 & obscenity laws. They remained in jail for over a month for basically telling gay men to use condoms! #HIVHistory #India
3. This was also the time of global panic about the HIV epidemic. #Cipla was yet to start rolling out low cost generic anti reterovirals.. so.. prevention was the only intervention. #Section377 #HIVHistory #India
