Is it merely a co-incidence that everything around #KedarnathTemple swept away in devastating flood yet the 8th century main structure of holy shrine is still standing tall?
I penned down this piece 7yrs ago almost same time & the thoughts cant be more relevant than today.
1/n
Jun13. Cloud busted & hills around were falling apart, concrete structure knocked down like castle of cards, a boulder, tons in weight & meters in height,hurtling down almost everything, not just halt but also created a natural shield to protect temple from furious Mandakini? 2/n
#SushantSinghRajput's #Kedarnath briefed this part in climax. No less than a sci-fi, was it quantum physics or water mechanics.. or some unknown power wiped up all encroachment of human greed but kept the Holy Dham doors open seeking just a 'renovation'?
Shiva, is that you?

But why would he do such harm to thousands of innocent lives? He himself is 'bholey' (innocent)! Then was it a due course of maintaining equilibrium?
Many questions to ask but never too late to answer. No wonder that the processes are executed by means of science..
4/n
but the motive is bringing the essence of parity & 'balancing it out' & this is what exactly #LordShiva does. Keep playing around the Mother Nature. She has patience, immense, until the 'best' of human creation turns into worst for her.
5/n
And then The Shiva’s university has to step in. It analyze the amount of damage & decide the fate like a algorithm of AI program. An ignorant mind can only misapprehend that Shiva enjoy playing around lives by such destruction but yes, his process takes some toll.
6/n
He is merciful enough to begin with peace offers. If unheard, he issues warnings, several .. in-fact. He waits indefinitely & gives enough time to step back. Once left with no option and in order to protect the larger good, he has to take extreme step.
7/n
Yes, he is DESTROYER, but for the emerging EVIL. He demolishes over-creations, before it’s too late. His job is not to spread the nectar of positive energies but to absorb the venom of negative ones. Who else can do this except The Great Lord '#Neelkanth'?
8/n
Once he is done, he gracefully handover things to his peer #LordVishu, who in turn activates his program & i.e. Renovation. This is how these two great institution works in a precise co-ordination. Some locals claims that Kedarnath ji turns into how it exactly..
9/n
used to be like 50 years ago. Co-incidence? No.
Survived structure of Kedarnath ji & divine Shivling are symbol of Shiva’s existence, it’s not just co-incidence that a boulder, which is 'preserved' by devotees & govt. that time as 'Bhimshila', protected the ancient temple.
10/n
Dear Human, again, the signals are coming like never before. Pause, before its too late. Respect #MotherNature. Don't be cruel to meek animals. Stop disrespecting Gods & most importantly, treat eachother better. Its not just another human body you are answerable for..
11/n
but someone much beyond in stature is around; watching. Don't try his patience, he is kind, innocent, give opportunity to step back but he never miss to do what he & his institution are supposed to do, for larger good.

While writing this piece, I must credit Shri Amish Tripathi @authoramish for authoring #ShivaTrilogy. Like me, there are millions who are deeply influenced & took the devotion for Shiva to a new & realistic level.🙏🙏
I can float a party and can promise a plot on moon for everyone. Interestingly, I don't have to explain my technical or economical plan, neither I would have any fear of consequences if I (obviously) won't be able to do it.

In the high octane election in India, ppl hardly care about manifestos & so the parties. Nonetheless it is best reflection of intent & vision of the party.
Problem is almost no constitutional compulsion or scrutiny of promises being even technically feasible.
2/
First of all the word "guarantee" is highly misleading. I'd personally go with Kapil Sibal who said using this word itself is unconstitutional. No one can guarantee anything but only can try. BJP, Congress or AAP, all parties failed here.

The other day I went to a party wearing my favourite Wildstone deo. My host (name withheld) introduced me to someone. The rest is history.

This morning I was feeling a little dull. Then I brushed my teeth with Colgate Max and blew my breath at a random girl. In general, you would have got a slap in such a case, but here that girl started dancing with me.

And here if you are born with an average look and dark skin, you just need to apply fair and lovely and handsome, which will change your look & skin colour good enough to be acceptable in society.
@DrSJaishankar referred Nehru's foreign policy (India second, China first). Congress spox @LavanyaBallal used derogatory remarks and denying the charges.
Here are two historical evidences that India was indeed offered permanent seat for UNSC but Nehru denied.
1/
The 1950 American Offer:
US: we offer unseating of China as a Permanent Member in the Security Council and of India being put in her place.
JLN: We shall go on pressing for China's admission in the UNSC. India is certainly entitled, but not at cost of China.
2/
The 1955 Soviet Offer:
USSR: we propose India's inclusion as the 6th member of the UNSC.
JLN: We feel that this should not be done till the question of China's admission is first solved. I feel that we should first concentrate on getting China admitted.
Supreme court & petitioner and that journalist (which I still believe is just a front face) has royally screwed up the Electoral Bond scheme and its' purpose.
Let me explain, how -
1/
Quid-Pro-Quo: Think for a moment, if center govt wanted to use it for kickbacks, bribes and commissions which payment mode would have been better? Cash or EB!
2/
Agencies as weapons: If the central ruling party has received 6K Cr for Q-P-Q, opposition parties have also received 16K Cr. Why would corporate bet on them if they know oppsn doesn't control CBI/ED?
3/
In Nov'2019 @TheQuint published that in FY2018-19 ₹6K Cr worth EB were sold. Of that 6K, ₹4.5K Cr went to BJP.
Look at the data now.
That report in 2019 was entirely fake on all accounts.
1/
Quint somehow got this 6K Cr figure for FY2018-19. (god knows who fooled them!)
Now, based on their "highly placed source" in Congress & political party's declared fund to EC, they "figured out" ₹550+587Cr, indicating that the rest of ₹4500 Cr (approx) went to BJP!
2/
Now look at the actual data. The total EB sold in FY2018-19 were ₹2383Cr, NOT ₹6K Cr. How can an "investigative journalist" get that wrong?
Their "sources" in INC said that they collected ₹550cr through EB but in reality, it was ₹383Cr.
How its anti pro-Khalistan movement in UK unfolded after Indian flag showdown at High Commission London.
Mar'23: India protested against the incident, how security failed to prevent the misadventure.
Remember it wasn't just slogans, but taken as attack on the nation.
1/
Apr'23 : At Home Secretary level meeting with UK counterpart, India asks to monitor Khalistan elements operating from UK.
2/
After fews days of India's requests to monitor K movements in UK, an independent "faith engagement" report in UK flagged Sunak govt to initiate investigation. This time it was pressure within UK, pretty much in line with what India wanted.
