Do humans deserve to survive as the dominant species in this world?
IMHO, no. The world is better of without us. A serious of videos will only prove that we evolved from apes.

Typo - "Serious" should read as "Series".
(4/n) I really don't care if humans are wiped out from this world. They are most undeserving. We've got to protect the other species that co-exist.

Species that went extinct or will be include Saila, North Atlantic Right Whale, Gharial, Amur Leopard, Indian Cheetah, White
(5/n) Cross River Gorilla, Giant Panda, Sumatran Elephant.... The list can go on.

Kolkata hitting 43 degrees hotter than Rajasthan summer or snowslide in Sikkim should be a warning bell for us. 75% of the earth’s species need to go extinct over about 2.8 million years...
(6/n) These periods of mass extinction have resulted in the loss of 98 % of all organisms. The signs are there but as stupid as we are, we are not seeing it. Time to act

Yesterday was #AkshayaTritiya2023. My hero's birthday. He would've been 85. A man literally born with a silver spoon with 16 Palaces to stay in, he lost everything at the age of 15. 1952 the Zamindari system was abolished & a shrewd trick played by Nehru & Bidhan Chandra Roy... Image
(2/n) left him and a family of 17 literally on the streets. They were given 7 days to vacate #UttarparaRajbari, one of the 16 palaces he was born in. His mother, Rani Ma (my nani) had throat cancer & his father spinal cancer. 14 others were either children or people who never...
(3/n) had to work. Everything came from estate that spanned 7.8 million acre, including the #Sunderbans. There was only 5K cash in the house. Just on the 7th day a battalion of police came to the Palace and asked the family to vacate. They collected whatever they could and with.. ImageImageImageImage

On #WomensDay2023, not a single tweet from any woman among 1.3 bn people India who thought it was worthy to pay respect to the 1 man who fought with the British machinery to
1) Sponsor & be the 1st signatory on the Widow remarriage Act
2) Build 59 schools in 1 year in #Bengal
(2/n) and 29 schools exclusively for women when women were banned from attending schools
3) 7 of these schools were English medium when women of India were banned from attending English medium schools

@twitter can be such a great accoutre to discuss so many important social imperatives yet we squabble over the most abhorrent issues. For example #DigitalInclusion. Today there are close to 1 bn people with #disabilities globally. How many of those are in India? We don't (1/2)
(2/n) know because we have been so frigin busy with discussing Modis suit or @RahulGandhi s trip to #CambridgeUniversity we ran the last census in 2011. Tax payers are paying truck load of money to sponsor a government department called The Department of Empowerment of Persons..
(3/n) With Disabilities. I am thinking why the bastions of morality & righteousness like @MahuaMoitra @ShefVaidya @derekobrienmp @RanaAyyub @BDUTT @RShivshankar @fayedsouza @UnSubtleDesi @ARanganathan72 @sagarikaghose @sardesairajdeep @KarunaGopal1 et al never discuss how we can

#Kolkata was the citadel of rock music between 80s & late 90s having some of the most talented musicians in the world. Then came "Bangla Rock". It killed some amazing music just gestating. Folks from all over the world would come to the annual Open Air Theater to watch a (1/n)
(2/n) 3 day Woodstock like concert. I remember the underdog Fahrenheit making it's debut during a 1988. I was a teen my legs shaking as I see thousands of people cheering & giving us the motivation. Then rock died for a long time until I heard my friend's nephew Josh & Dipan. Image
(3/n) Josh & Dipan, barely in their early 20s gives me hope. 2 amazingly talented musicians likely to bring back #Kolkata to her glory days. My bud Deep & Rajat (both part of a band I played with briefly) just collaborated with Josh & Dipan to deliver one of the best renditions.

@rahulbh12 Thank you so much. I see the abuse hurled at Bengalis all the time. We bongs accept those hurls and reply with cheap unsubstantiated come backs. I am just trying to do my bit here telling stories about some phenomenal Bengalis who have been the architects of new #India .....(1/2)
@rahulbh12 (2/n) and history has not been kind to them because they didn't flaunt their achievements. It's an open challenge to a billion people on Social Media. Find me one family in the last 800 years like the Mukherjee's of #Uttarpara.

@rahulbh12 (3/n) 2) #MaaSharada - w/o #RamkrishnaParamanhsa

What's common between India's greatest scientists - CV Raman, Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy, Megnad Saha, Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose, Satyendranath Bose, P.C Mahalonobis et al. They went to #CalcuttaUniversity. Who proposed setting up India's first autonomous University?..(1/2)
(2/n) #RajaJoykrishnaMukherjee. Way before #NobelPrize was envisoned in early 1900s, in the mid 1800 this very man had expressed his interest to set up a global award in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics & Philosophy. It was called Joykrishna Gold award and the 1st.....
(3/n) recipient was Sir James Jeans, the father of #British #Cosmology. Although the vision of this award was set by Joykrishna Mukherjee, it was actually made operational much later by his son #RajaPearyMohanMukherjee. Joykrishna in the mid 1800s envisioned that India should...
