#ChaiStop with @ShivAroor | "I think the basic problem with Rahul Gandhi's politics is that he is more interested in bringing down PM Modi so that he can get voters," says @Rahulshrivstv.
"I think the PM is more confident on the CEC issue than he was on the NEET issue," says @Vasudha156.

Strange but true. The event at Congress president @kharge 's residential garden actually looked and functioned like a real parliament session minus the "ruling" opposition as it debated an "impeachment" motion against the #CEC.
It's significance lies in the fact that long speeches could actually be heard without interruption or interjection from hecklers and TV anchors and more importantly,
transmitted worldwide by video through social media. In an ideal world a similar "defence session" can be held at the residence of a sitting minister and transmitted equally. But the question is: who is ready for a free, uninterrupted ,unedited and equal transmission of the views and facts expressed ?
Subtext: the politics of imagery and impressions has been turned on its head

Mangaluru City Corporation fining pet owners Rs 1,000–Rs 5,000 for not cleaning up after their dogs is a welcome step. But enforcement matters more than penalties. Karnataka needs a uniform pet policy that protects responsible owners while holding negligent ones accountable. 🐾

Hey indie game studios: I wanna work with you. I'm seeing some amazing work from small teams, and nothing is more fun or exciting than working with creative folks. You don't have to be a major studio, you just have to be making awesome games. And yes, I do more than synth stuff!

Parents should be prosecuted for minor children involved in hit and run deaths like we see in Kerala and countless other egregious crimes- underage driving is not cool, mowing down people and fleeing is murderous even if you’re 17

The proposal to build new roads over lakes, buffer zones and stormwater drains threatens Bengaluru’s fragile ecosystem and risks severe flooding. Rather than sacrificing critical water bodies for more traffic, the city must prioritise public transport, walking, and cycling.⚠️
