@Reddymadhavan Doodle.

Doodled a scenario from Chadar trek.

Every single time a political story breaks in India, I think of a Soviet writer called Yuri Olesha, and a book he wrote in 1927, The Three Fat Men.

"A clown was reciting a poem to the
music:

These Three Fat Men— so fat are they.

They drink and gobble night and day.

The only pastime that they know
is to watch their bellies grow.

Beware , fat pigs, the time will come
When you will pay for what you’ve done."

@iamvikas Thank you for the suggestions. Hul is not something my parents are likely to connect with, and they are her slaves.

We spent an HOUR looking for her, and she was napping cozily here.

We are yet to name her; suggestions please?
Personality traits: feisty, cunning, can cry foul just to win, zero moral fiber, uses cuteness as a currency, brat.

Her mom is called Biscuit.

There are some replies saying that Christians, dalits, etc should not #BoycottNRC only uppercaste/class Hindus should.

DISAGREE. Muslims are the target. Don't add random victims. The MORE of us boycott, the better they are protected.

And when they come after dalits and christians, we will expect Muslims too to stand by them.

Don't let go of your power to take a stand and claim victimhood. That is what BJP wants - all in their silos, scared to stick their necks out.You CAN be someone's shield.

@iamvikas hello.
@iamvikas thank you.

What is a good season to visit ABC?
#travel
Good season meaning the sun shines brightly? Or, is it when it rains exactly 8mm?

For me, there is only 1 good season:the off-season.

The food is fresh and is served quickly, less chances of having a wailing kid next to me, easy availability of hotel-rooms, pocket-friendly too, breezy queues, local folks have time for you, and for you to be a part of their community; endless perks!

A Borrowed Backpack

Tips and tricks for backpacking, hidden destinations and travelling solo. With love, from India.

@nilanjanaroy I watched a naturalist friend get stung by a hairy caterpillar on the leg yesterday (not at all lethal, just itchy) and instead of getting annoyed, and swatting it, he carefully placed it on a plant and proceeded to pull (a surprising large number) jagged hair (that the caterpillar pierces the skin with) with tweezers, while accidentally pulling some of own hair. All the while saying, between 'ow' and 'ouch', 'what a fantastic creature, sej. Look what it did in just seconds'. 💜
