There's activism.... and then there's Puneri activism 😉

This gentleman is apparently 'protesting' outside the 'world famous' Bedekar Misal near Laxmi Road - asking for 'Paav' instead of 'Bread Slices' (which Bedekar serves with Misal).

Oh...well!🤣

Okay...let's do a poll 😉

What do you prefer with your #Misal?

#MisalPaav #MisalBreadSlice
While folks debate on 'Paav' or 'Bread Slice', here's a list of #Pune #Misal old restaurants:

Vaidya Uphar Gruha, Raviwar Peth (1911)

Shrikrishna Bhuvan, Tulshibaug (1941)

Bedekar, Narayan Peth (1955)

Shri Misal, Ramnath, Bapat...1950s/60s?

Any other old ones?
The interesting thing about #Misal is that everyone thinks their favorite one is THE 'authentic' one (and all others are not genuine :))

In reality, there is really no one fixed recipe of a 'Misal'. Each city/region(also restaurants within a city) have created their own recipes!

"Pale Blue Dot"

Feb 14, 1990 - 30 years ago, one of the most iconic photos of all times - a view of our blue planet, taken by the Voyager-1 spacecraft, from a distance of about 6 billion km!

The term was coined by Carl Sagan in his reflections of the photograph's significance.
@NASAJPL @NASAVoyager @NASAhistory "Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken on February 14, 1990, by the Voyager 1 space probe from a record distance of about 6 billion km (3.7 billion miles, 40.5 AU), as part of that day's Family Portrait series of images of the Solar System."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue…
@NASAJPL @NASAVoyager @NASAhistory "In the photograph, Earth's apparent size is less than a pixel; the planet appears as a tiny dot against the vastness of space, among bands of sunlight reflected by the camera."

Today (Feb 12) is the 278th Janmatithi of Nana Phadnavis - one of the most important figures of Maratha and Indian History, in the last three decades of 18th century.

Nana (along with Mahadji Shinde) held the Maratha Empire together amidst many internal and external challenges.
Many internal challenges threatened the Maratha Empire in the late 18th century - the toughest one being the murder of Peshwa Narayanrao, and the role of his uncle Raghunathrao.

Later Raghunathrao aligned with the British and this eventually led to the 1st Anglo Maratha War.
Nana Phadnavis was able to align all the internal leaders together (incl Shindes, Holkars) to face the British.

Other external challenges included the Nizam and Hyder/Tipu.

Nana was an excellent statesman, and a strategist. He had the foresight to identity future challenges.

Today marks the 350th anniversary of 'Battle of Sinhagad'- the near impossible mission led by Tanaji Malusare on February 4, 1670, to capture the fort of Sinhagad near Pune.

The mission was a success, but Tanaji had to make the ultimate sacrifice - today is his 350th Punyatithi.
The impregnable fort of Sinhagad was under Mughal control.

Shivaji Maharaj had entrusted the tough task of capturing it, to Tanaji Malusare.

On the night of Feb 4, 1670 (Magh Vadya Navami), Tanaji and a few hundred 'Mavles' scaled the steep cliffs of Sinhagad.
Tanaji fell during the fierce battle, but the mission was accomplished.

"Gad Aalaa, Pan Sinha Gelaa" (The Fort is captured, but the Lion is dead) - Shivaji Maharaj on learning of Tanaji's sacrifice.

Tanaji's bravery and supreme sacrifice continue to inspire many, to this day.

NEAR Protocol Usability Summary:
- Account Names instead of hashes of public keys.
- There can be multiple Access Keys per account.
- Function call limited access key.
Thread 👇
NEAR uses readable account IDs instead of a hash of a public key. It’s similar to twitter handles. Also Account IDs work like domains. E.g. only account “alice” can create a sub-account like “app.alice”, and now only “app.alice” can create a “beta.app.alice”.
Account ID has a minimum length of 2 characters. NEAR charges recurrent tax from the account balance for short account IDs with exponentially decreasing rate based on the length. IDs with length more than 10 chars don’t pay it. It’s needed to avoid squatting short account names.

Thread #Activism what we do & what inspires it
Did an interview this week about my activism - theatre activism & the #deadwomenwalking march to remember women killed in the uk by known men I wasn’t prepared for the impact the questions had on me
Asked what was my first memory of political awareness/activism I recalled being in a pub as a teenager & the bar maid had hair under her arms We saw it when she reached up for a glass above the bar My friend was disgusted- disgusted!
I couldn’t grasp why female body hair was so abhorrent to another woman & of course I was awakened to all the messages we get - bleach your moustache, shave your legs, wax your ‘down there’ It’s unnatural get rid of it! It’s dirty get rid of it!

Things they don’t tell you when you take up road cycling (a thread)

1- you will go numb in places you didn’t think were capable of such a thing. Girls, I’m talking intimate, boys, I’m talking Johnson.

#road #cycling #bike #ride #FitnessMotivation
2- you must fuel! Also, hitting the wall is called bonking. I’m a child. Every time someone says they’re bonking, that’s me laughing.

#roadbike #carbs #fuel #sweet
3- flies. Actually no, they’re not flies, they’re bullets. Today has been the day of the black beetle... oh my word do they hurt! If I hadn’t been wearing glasses, I’d be blind. Good protein though. Must have eaten thousands.

Short thread on how I got involved in #Activism - I have been an activist since I was 17 (1989) - I campaigned with EarthWatch Ireland about, 'The Greenhouse Effect' (now #ClimateChange) raw sewage / river pollution and recycling.
In 1994, I moved to London for work and joined @GreenpeaceUK as a volunteer working on #StopEsso campaign and #SaveorDelete an Ancient Forests campaign. In 2002, #Banksy worked with us to create a poster and I was in charge of sending them around the UK along with this stencil
First rule of stenciling - Don't have your name printed on it!
