We ended the temple run for the day with a darshan at the famous Shri Shantadurga temple which is also located in Ponda, #Goa
During the arathi, sunlight was reflected on the Devi with a mirror located just outside the temple door

“Sources told this reporter how Parthasarathy took instructions from Chidambaram before striking deals, they two apparently talked for hours.
Those in the know say Parthsarathy had an unique way of operating.”

Shared the video with my brother, who was a mariner, & asked him to provide his analysis of what happened with the #EverGiven in the #SuezCanal 1/n
Chetan’s comments:
“Many a times transiting the Suez Canal, it is the Master's and all involved wish that the ordeal is swift and safe for the 100km journey.” 2/n

Hidden threat: Japan has only 2-week stockpile of LNG asia.nikkei.com/Business/Energ… | Scenarios that were once unimaginable are about to play out. Greater Tokyo with no power! Wow! Just goes to show nuclear is the most secure energy source
“Because LNG is poorly suited for long-term storage, Japan only has a two-week stockpile. Yet, the country depends on the fuel for 40% of its electric power generation needs, and all of the LNG it uses is imported from the Middle East and Southeast Asia.”
“These extraordinary steps underscore just how vital the power station is. Tokyo Bay, which stretches across the prefectures of Chiba, Tokyo and Kanagawa, is Japan's most important LNG power generation hub. JERA operates many of the power plants there, all of which run on LNG.”
