After giving some thought & study to the new Agriculture bills, I can say that intent behind them is GOOD! Biggest change will be the new entrants in the buying market of crops. Will raise farmers’ income.
I can understand the frustration of Pawar party in Maha & Akalis in PJ!
People saying Farmers will get lower price without Mandis, well! mandis are not closing down & farmers can still go there for MSP based prices.
With no barrier on storage limit, urban investors might feel like investing in crop procurement now & it can make them rich to the
1/
level of “bitcoin rich”. New agriculture based startups also get a window here with that “no limit” clause.
Challenge is to understand the “information” flowing in & out of any business. If more people can understand that, then established businessmen are in trouble.
2/
Established businessmen in Agricultural crop purchasing are parties like SAD, NCP, RJD etc. They will be troubled if more players understand the “information”.
3/3

A non exhaustive list of people who became a casualty of Shatru Hanta Yog of PM Modi’s kundali (as per astrologers).

1. Chimanbhai Patel- last significant congress leader from Gujarat who could become CM there.
Modi was tasked to start a campaign against him in state.

1/ Image
2. Keshubhai Patel.
Another ex CM of Gujarat.

Member of BJP, RSS. Was unhappy when Modi rose as PM candidate. Made a party which did not even a scratch to Modi & BJP. Merged with BJP later.

2/ Image
3. Shankarsinh Vaghela

A strong opponent and long time politician which just could not better Modi. Another man who was Gujarat’s CM once and never liked Modi’s ascent & national role.

I shared one Raja Ravi Varma painting and you all liked it.

So, I am sharing another which is a lesser known masterpiece from Raja Ravi Varma’s works.

This painting is known as “Krishna Shishtai” or “Krishna as an envoy”.

1/ Image
Story- Here Krishna is in court of Dhritrashtra with the peace offering of Yudhisthir. He did it as Yudhisthir was aware of impending doom by the great war.

But, Duryodhana was furious & ordered Dushasana to capture Krishna and himself took out his sword.

2/ Image
All the old men in scene are aware of grave mistake Duryodhana is committing and some are even shocked to hear his command.

The facial expressions of old men are different from young ones as they know who is Krishna in real.

Drona, Shakuni, Bhishma other heroes are there.

Arguably, this painting “Victory of Indrajit” is best work of Raja Ravi Varma.

This painting has many characters, everyone with a story in their expressions, Varma showed his mastery with light & shadows in it.

1/ Image
Theme- this is a scene where Indrajit, son of Ravana is presenting his war trophies to his father after defeating Indra.

He is looking towards Sachi, wife of Indra. His gaze is victorious. Standing at lower pedestal—hierarchy in family where his father & uncle is present.

2/ Image
Sachi is in sorrow (open hair) and despair (disheveled clothes). Her royal stature is still visible in her skin tone and disgust on her face.

Dark skin attendant is in contrast to show misbehaviour with her. She is looking towards skies as if to find Indra there.

On 1 June 2025, Ukraine’s secret agency SBU carried out one of the nastiest drone attacks deep inside Russian territory.

Ukraine says its $2000 worth drones have struck losses of $7 Billion to Russia & took out 34% of Russian cruise missile carriers.

How did they do it?

1/ Image
Head of SBU, Vasyl Malyuk oversaw Mission Spider Web and it took 1 year 6 months and 9 days to execute it. Ukraine kept patience.

Malyuk as chief of SBU is credited with exposure of 300+ Russian agents in Ukrainian govt setups.

Task was tough. It had to be cost effective.

2/ Image
Ukraine chose an indigenous drone maker First Contact and used its quadcopter Ora for attacks.

These drones are First Person View Drones where the pilot sees feed of drone & controls it remotely.

Ora can take 3.7 kg of explosives. Simple design. Can be assembled quickly.

Yesterday, Sikkim & India celebrated 50th anniversary of its merger with Indian Union.

Before that, it enjoyed special relations under its monarchy with India.

But, it all changed when an American married the king of Sikkim & led the eventual end of 300+ years old kingdom.

1/ Image
Hope Cooke, an American citizen, married Palden Thondup Namgyal in 1963. Namgyal met her in Darjeeling when she was on a summer trip to India in 1959.

The wedding was covered by world media as she was one of the first Americans to marry in a royal house.
