There's a suspected snake/mangoose/gho situation evolving in the house. Tune in for updates.
Her Highness, the stray that has adopted us, is unable to decide whether to chase the unknown creature in the garden or chase the monkeys who have also come visiting us.
Exercising first right on resources Image
Looks like whatever it is under this. Image
Her Highness isn’t convinced that there’s nothing under car. She’s sure the mystery animal is inside. Yeah, now we gotta set this car on fire, obviously, to get rid of it. Image
Update: Her Highness is digging all around and we now suspect whatever reptile it was has now gone 'underground' Image
it could also be a mouse, because we have one resident old mouse living in the garden, also a jaani dushman of Her Highness. But sources tell me the giant mouse has died recently. I shall update you guys once I know more. #ParakhiNazarNirwaSuper
Yea, not gonna get inside the car. Clearly something has made it it’s home. Image
Last time I almost set the car on fire.

The Sabarmati Report.

I lived through the Godhra carnage and subsequent riots in Gujarat. I saw what was happening around me and how media was reporting, including mainstream media in Gujarat.

Over the years, I have become skeptical when it comes to movies, books which suggest they are the truth about Gujarat riots.

Mostly because they almost always want to show their version of truth - that too about the riots. But not the burning alive of 59 people which triggered the riots.

For the first time, a movie is showing that the carnage was a pre-planned conspiracy. Not 'cooking stove' theory or 'cigarette butt' theory.

Here are some of my thoughts on the movie + the carnage and subsequent riots.
1. Movie does not shy away from the fact that the mob that set the train on fire was a Muslim mob. That it was not just a random 'crowd' which decided to set the train on fire over an imaginary scuffle.

2. Speaking of imaginary scuffle, that theory along with the 'abduction of Muslim girl' theory (Sofiyabano as mentioned in the Mehta-Nanavati Commission Report) are both authoritatively false. This is something the Commission also found in the investigation and it is shown in the film also. The film gets extra point for showing how people in a 'particular community' dominated area, where 'Sofiyabano' lived, would cheer when Pakistan was winning and India was losing. This is true even today in some parts of India. In popular narratives, owing to 'responsible media', the criminals, especially religiously motivated, are not shown as is. As it could be 'provocative'. Such is the state of our country where truth is provocative.

3. The movie shows that stones were pelted at the bogey. Without shying away from showing who were pelting those stones. Further, witness testimony video (likely based on the Commission report) where witnesses are saying that they heard the shouting 'maaro, kaato' directed at them. As per the report, announcements were made from the nearby masjid to gather a crowd.Image
4. Media indeed played a huge role in instigating subsequent riots. And spreading falsehoods. While initial reports did not deny the karsevaks were burnt live, subsequent theories were floated. Did you know who was the first one to suggest 'short circuit' theory was Mukul Sinha of Jan Sangharsh Manch? Who Mukul Sinha? Question is - whom was he trying to protect?

5. In 2004 when UPA government came to power, Lalu Yadav, who was the Union Railway Minister set up one person Banerjee Commission that submitted its first interim report in January 2005. It termed the Godhra carnage as 'accident'. Siddharth Varadarajan, who now runs propaganda portal The Wire, used this Banerjee Commission report back in 2005 as Editor of The Hindu and said how the Sabarmati Express fire was an 'accident'. But also mentioned how it was surrounded by an angry mob. To him I ask, why, then, was an angry mob surrounding a burning train? And why were they not making an effort to douse the fire?

On 26 July 2008, 8 year old Yash Vyas with his 10-11 year old brother Rohan and father, Dushyant Vyas, stepped out of home to learn how to cycle. (1/n)
At around 7:30/7:45 (he’s not too sure of time), his father got a call. He worked at the Civil Hospital and he rushed there with his both sons. Ambulances started rolling in. There were serial bomb blasts in the city (2/n)
Just then another blast took place near the trauma centre at civil hospital. The place where victims of other blasts were bring brought in. Yash’s brother Rohan had burnt beyond recognition. (3/n)

Arrey how is ED questioning 'sangharsh' or is misappropriating funds the real 'sangharsh' and that is why minions are with them! kya hi pagalpan hai.
Shaktisinh Gohil, Adhir Ranjan, all laughing and smiling like even they don't believe in the slogans they are raising. No wonder the party is reduced to a joke.
dude bros think Gandhi family simping will win them elections when Gandhi family itself is struggling to find their relevance.

What is the easiest way to ‘show a woman her place’? Attack her family, her character and easiest of all, her daughter. In our very own David vs Goliath fight, @smritiirani defeated @RahulGandhi on the family seat and clearly the wound is still raw. (1/n)
So now with election season again setting in slowly, Congress has resorted to dirty politics. This time, they have taken on her daughter. 18-year-old Zoish and accused her of running an ‘illegal bar’. ‘Sanskar’ is invoked to insinuate women who work in bars are of disrepute (2/n)
And while any work, including working in a bar, demands as much dignity as being an MP from Wayanad, the intention with which it was thrown around was to clearly assassinate their characters. How low does one stoop? (3/n)

Alt News tried to throw Razorpay under the bus and cast aspersions that they are sharing private information of users to police/authorities. However, Razorpay's terms and conditions mention it clearly that they may share data if agencies ask. This is VERY standard. (1/n)
So-called privacy enthusiasts made a huge cry about it. Alt News, however, tried to portray Razorpay reactivating their account as a clean chit that they did not violate any FCRA rules (otherwise why would they reactivate)? (2/n)
Whether or not they did violate any terms and conditions on Razorpay is another matter for investigation by appropriate authority. However, Razorpay is not the only platform Alt News uses to take ‘donation’ (3/n)
