Covaxinated..

Thank you to all who told me about the telegram channel and BMC handle and slot opening time..

Jay Shri Ram...
Cowin Slots open around 18:30 to 20:30 for next day.. they remain open for 1-2 minutes.. Cowin server hangs every now and then..

keep trying is the key... One gets lucky.. do nor limit yourself to your own district if you have your own vehicle..
I was searching for slots in Mumbai-Thane-Palghar-Raigad-Nashik-Pune districts. Got lucky near Kalyan, Thane. 50 Km from my home in MMR. But then what the heck!!
Special shout out to @Kunalraj2k and @SrinathNagella for hinting at the time of 19:30..

@BertyThomas runs a TG channel. He updates the slot-opening times for various cities.

Folks in MMR - regularly check @mybmc for slot opening times within Mumbai city proper.

@vvaayu @AndColorPockeT Ji. Romans and AngloSaxons are traditional enemies. France (Gaul) was a natural enemy/competitor of Germanic AngloSaxons

Current bout of prem is about the fact that India single handedly ensured by buying Rafale that non-American/anglosaxon fighter aviation industry stays alive
@vvaayu @AndColorPockeT They were equally arseholes as Brits in their colonies. And both French & Brits are at the root of modern middle eastern problem

But for Hindus they were always helpful (becoz of their enmity with Brits). Since 1600s. Even Shivaji spared French missionaries in Surat (Abè Carrie)
@vvaayu @AndColorPockeT Correspondence of Hindavi Swarājya and French empire has been relatively speaking quiet strong since Balaji Bajirao’s time. It strengthened even more after Panipat-3.

Nana Phadnavis was diplomatically intimate with the French.

When one has to choose between jāti identity & class identity, always choose jāti

Jāti is Hindu, for all its drawbacks

Insisting on class based incentives/identity makes RoP+RoL stakeholders in what is essentially and statistically a Hindu problem (poverty/lack of opportunity)
Providing all jātis enough “this worldly” (इहलौकिक) opportunities is job of state

Furthermore providing/helping weaker members of your own jāti too is your problem

Class creates a horizontal section. Jāti is a vertical section. Each jāti (or jāti group) always had rich and poor
Class creates friction with other horizontal sections

There is upwardly (and downward KT) mobility in jāti’s vertical section. There is a convection current moving up & going down. It may or may not conflict with other jāti’s vertical section. But allows upwardly mobility within

Today is phālgun amāvasyā. Today in 1689, Sambhaji Maharaj was murdered by Aurangzeb. 🙏

Here is the report from maāsir e ālamgiri:

“Mushrik, jahannum-nasīb, harabi qāti-up-tariq kāfir’s son was sent to deepest hell along with Kavi Kalash as per rulings of Sharia on 11/03/1689”
He was tortured from 03/03/1689 (phālgun krishNa Saptami) until 11/03/1689 (phālgun amāvasyā)

Skin flayed & hanged on walls of fort. Eyes gorged out. Tongue cut. Hands, legs cut. Ears, nose cut. Countless burns, cuts, bruises all over the body

Standard Sharia manual I suppose.
The charges were “looting Islamic cities, waging war against Islam, Killing Muslims” among few.

what if France had invaded Germany just when Germany invaded Poland? in 1939?

War would have been over in few weeks, not 6-7 years.

Wonder what was France thinking in September of 1939.

They had divisions lined up on Maginot line anyways. They squandered a very good chance.
In September of 1939, France had 110 divisions on Franko-German border. Germans had 23.

If all those 110 divisions were mobilised to enter Germany, history would be different.
Hitler must have had balls of titanium to pull off this stunt. The sheer brazen audacity of it all is amazing. And the bugger pulled it off.

By end of September, Poland was done and dusted. All armies back on a French border. Window for quick war over.

On 9th April 1669, Shri Kāshi Vishwanāth Mahādèva was desecrated by Mlenchhas upon Aurangzeb’s order.

It was a day of solar eclipse. People had gathered to bathe and offer pūjā to vishvèvara mahādev. That is when suddenly Mughals attacked amd dismantled the temple.
The kufrashikan (killer of infidels), butshikan (breaker of idols), ghazi (religious Islamic warrior) that was Aurangzeb was doing what was right thing to do as per his religion. Killing Hindus and desecrating their temples.
The keshavdèva temple of Mathura (the last iteration built by a Bundela king named Narasimhadeva) too was razed similarly in the Ramzan of 1670.

The original vigraha of kèshavadeva is buried beneath the mosque built by Jahan Ara in Agra. He is still lying there somewhere.

This line of kālidāsa from kumārasambhava shows how Hindus looked at the word “Prthvi”.

उत्तर दिशा में हिमालय नामक देवताओं की आत्मा पर्वतों का राजा है, जो पूर्व और पश्चिम दिशा में स्थित दोनों समुद्रों में पृथ्वी के मानदण्ड की तरह प्रविष्ट होकर खड़ा है.
pRthvī is not just a generic word for planet earth or land.

It is also a specific word for India (land from himālayas to the (two/three) oceans is one rāshTra - पृथिव्यै समुद्रपर्यन्ताया एकराळिति).
Interestingly, one of the coolest regal epithets was of sātavāhana emperors found near paiTHaN (their first capital - which later moved to downstream of godāvarī) is त्रिसमुद्रतोयपीतवाहन. tri-samudra-toya-pīta-vāhana - one who’s mount/horse has drunk the water of all three seas.
