Judging by the length of the shadow, it seems to be an early morning workout, or perhaps one in the late evening!

And then there are the Gorkha brothers .. equally cheerful .. equally happy .. equally ferocious!
This particular guy makes the razor sharp 9-inch blade khukri look like a kid's toy in his hands .. sheer magic!
Can watch this video a thousand times over!

Folks sharing some thoughts on the #PahalgamTerrorAttack. Here goes ..

To begin with, I think this visual of a newlywed couple on their honeymoon shall remain forever etched in my mind whenever this incident in particular and the name of Pakistan in general comes up. Image
By now we all know what happened.
Tourists were asked their religion & those who were adherents of the 'wrong' faith were killed without second thoughts by those who follow the 'correct' deen.
The first thought that came to my mind upon hearing this was the speech by Asim Munir.
Of course, with the benefit of hindsight, this was not just hot air and bluster from the Brown Panted Chief, but a 'Call to Action' to stir up the terror pot in India.
But then, I find it amusing that many of our own people were aghast upon hearing this.

"Your action is correct and the Lieutenant Governor approves" : Michael O'Dwyer (Punjab Governor) to Gen Dyer, after the #JallianwalaBaghMassacre

Dwyer was dispatched to his maker to seek his approval by Udham Singh Shaheed in 1940.

Folks, sharing some thoughts on the movie 'Chhava'.
I watched it about three weeks ago with my elder one. The Missus and the younger one had watched it a few days earlier.
I normally stay away from films, however this one pulled me.
Glad that it did.
Let me try & explain
Before moving ahead, just a gentle reminder that earlier this month was the 336th martyrdom anniversary of Sambhaji Maharaj. Here's a tribute thread in his honour.
May have a look.
Coming back to #Chhava, I don't intend to talk about the movie itself, except for exhorting you to go & watch it with your kids
It is one part of our history that they will NEVER learn in their school textbooks unless GOI makes a concerted effort to do so.

Folks,
Sharing snippets from my trip to Prayagraj to witness the Maha Kumbh earlier this week.
Missus and I spent four days and five nights in the city, reaching there on the night of 11 Jan and returning back home on the night of 16 Jan, i.e. yesterday.
Here goes ..
First and foremost, MUST plan a trip to Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh!
It is a once in 144 year event and we are blessed to be alive at this point in time to be able to witness it. For so many people, a Maha Kumbh won't ever be even a once in a lifetime event.
As we drove into the city, we could sense magic in the very air. The entire city was in an upbeat mood, despite waves after waves of humanity descending there.
Thankfully, we had booked our stay in the month of October itself and were comfortable that way, unlike many others.

Sharing some thoughts on the recent moves by the Arakan Army on the Bangladesh-Myanmar Border.
Let's see how this one goes ..
Let me just begin with this bombastic video of Bangladesh Army veterans threatening to capture Kolkata within four days!
Very bombastic, I'd say .. especially when their own generation got the blunt end of the stick from Pakistanis in 1970-71 and couldn't do anything about that!
Unfortunately for these geriatric idiots, while they were turned towards Kolkata, right behind them came the Arakan Army which established control over Bangladesh-Myanmar border
As always, these erstwhile East Pakistanis got totally surprised from behind(PS: Puns Fully Intended!) Image

Folks, sharing some thoughts on the current state of affairs in Bangladesh.
Let's see how this thread goes ..
First and foremost, let us call it for what it is currently - An attempt at re-establishing East Pakistan.
Yup, that's what it is. Pakistan attempting to return to its erstwhile colony via proxy.
Come to think of it, conditions in East Bengal today are quite similar to what they were in 1970-71.
1. Interim Govt in place
2. Politically elected Govt not allowed to function
3. Widespread and blatant atrocities against minorities and those that the current 'govt' doesn't like
