In 2013, I ran away from work to listen to him speak. In 2025, when the world tunes into the master, a forgotten chapter of my life returns to me.
László Krasznahorkai once ignited my dreams and, perhaps, also lent them the sense of an ending.

Bolsanaro had a familiar playbook in Brazil: paint Lula as an ally of crime syndicates, dismiss journos as enemies of society, and tap into people’s anxieties about the loss of traditional values. How did Lula’s party fight it? No analysis here but important to note how the Left there is rooted in culture/religion: in Catholicism that shaped struggles for workers’ rights, in the neighbourhood bar where people gather to sing samba and drink Cachaca. The Left’s strength comes from being part of everyday life.
Can a divided Brazil still talk to itself?
From a Bolsonaro rally in São Paulo to a left-wing bar in Rio, @MnshaP meets Brazilians navigating political fault lines ahead of the election run-off.

Patna has one of India's finest museums, far superior than many famed ones in Europe.
It's now ranked 9th in the world, the only one India has in this list.
(PS. Patna's Bapu Tower, a new museum dedicated to Gandhi, would admit no rivalry either.)

An Indian perspective on the "Triangle of Happiness" - US, China, and Russia.
An imprisoned individual questions the political system, urges marginalised communities to seek decentralisation.
Should the defenders of the Republic address his concerns, or call him separatist?
And - isn't the call of Hindu Rashtra separatism? Constitution won't allow this.

क्या ही शानदार बात बोली है @hridayeshjoshi ने! हम शावकों को भी एनर्जी मिली है!
#NLCharcha | "मैं कोई ड्रग पेडलर या दलाल नहीं हूं कि दर्शकों की पसंद के हिसाब से 'हशीश या गांजा' परोसूं." @hridayeshjoshi
सोशल मीडिया एल्गोरिदम, व्यूज और कन्फर्मेशन बायस, पत्रकारिता के लिए यह कितना चुनौतीपूर्ण है!

Disagree with some of his opinions, but there's a lot to agree with, esp once you realise the framework of a marginalised, imprisoned Muslim. One who has seen the Constitution constantly failing them.
He's remarkably consistent in his dissent. It's not about the Hindutva alone.

Utterly incoherent how he goes from Athens, where he denigrated Persia as the eternal Other in a clash with Western "civilization," to this embrace of Samarkand, a city that's wholly bound up in Persian "civilization," if talking about civilizations is so important to you.

NDTV का माइक देखकर कुछ लोग @Vasudha156 को गोदी मीडिया.. गोदी मीडिया कहकर टारगेट कर रहे हैं .
जो लोग भी ऐसा लग कर रहे हैं , बिल्कुल गलत कर रहे हैं .
किसी रिपोर्टर को इस तरह से घेरकर उसके साथ बदसलूकी करना गलत है .
प्रोटेस्ट करने आपका अधिकार है लेकिन किसी भी सूरत में फील्ड रिपोर्टर के साथ ये सलूक ठीक नहीं है . गलत है . अपराध है .
हर चैनल में बहुत अच्छा काम करने वाले पत्रकार भी होते हैं . वसुधा भी अच्छी रिपोर्टर है . आप किसी चैनल का माइक देखकर किसी भी फील्ड रिपोर्टर के साथ ऐसा नहीं कर सकते . वो भी एक महिला रिपोर्टर के साथ . आप ये लिहाज़ भी भूल रहे हैं . हालांकि इस वीडियो में कुछ लोग वसुधा भीड़ को समझाते भी दिख रहे हैं .
किसी चैनल से आपकी नाराज़गी है तो उसकी खीझ हर फील्ड रिपोर्टर पर मत उतारिए.
जुलाई में CJP प्रोटेस्ट के दौरान भी कुछ रिपोर्टर के साथ मारपीट तक की गई थी .
ये अपराध है .

A moving bus. A horrific crime. Delhi. This time done by the supposed guardians of the city.
Shocking thread.
Oct 10 has given a template.
Protest in Delhi are now self-driven. Irrespective of arrests or detention, people will continue to gather and humiliate Him.
Several times over in the coming months.
Electoral victory ki akad nikalne wali hai.
