It is high time we fundamentally rethink how we celebrate our festivals.
We are such hypocrites. We invoke the higher power by poisoning air, choking rivers, polluting the sea, tormenting animals, destroying trees and leaving mountains of waste.
Faith should make us more reverent towards life and nature. But our expression of it has only ravaged the world we call divine creation.

Why can’t India offer to buy out Greenland with 300 million trillion billion bazillion Credcoins?

#HotTake365 The Final One
The biggest lie in Indian urban policy is that cities are “failing.” They aren’t. They’re being deliberately designed by disregarding the many and serve the few.
Congestion, pollution, unaffordable housing, unsafe streets, lack of and encroached pedestrian infrastructure, none of this is accidental.
It is the outcome of decades of policy that privileged:
• land speculation over developing liveable communities
• moving cars over moving passengers
• optics over outcomes
• no outcome assessment of provided services
Cities don’t become difficult to live on their own. They are dismantled by disregarding regulation, manipulating tender, disproportionate allocation of budget at a time.
History won’t ask what Indian cities built.
It will ask who were they built for.

I took a walk in HSR Layout recently.
Here's what I realised:
1. Footpaths are inaccessible due to encroachment
2. Inaccessible footpaths aren't maintained
3. Unmaintained footpaths become dumping spots
4. Dumping spots become toilets
It all starts with encroachment.

What Indian footpaths are for in descending order of importance:
1. Power junction boxes
2. Electrical poles
3. Hoardings
4. Food stalls
5. Darshini overflow
6. Parked vehicles
7. Trees
8. Potted plants
9. Pedestrians
10. Parents with strollers/differently-abled in wheelchairs

A well-designed pedestrian bridge across the Mithi would immediately cut down the 2.7 km walk from Kurla to ONGC to just about 1–1.5 km from Sion and Chunabhatti, respectively — roughly the same distance as between CSMT and Kala Ghoda or the Bombay High Court. Distances which thousands of people walk daily
#Walk2BKC
All BKC Employees, Listen Up!
Let’s raise our voice to make walking to BKC safe, easy, and dignified. #Walk2BKC
Our 3 Key Demands to Ease Congestion in Kurla West and Promote Non-Motorised Access to BKC:
1. Create a continuous pedestrian corridor from Sion/Chunabhatti Stations to the BKC ONGC Building, including a pedestrian bridge over the Mithi River.
2. Increase halts for fast trains at Sion Station to split BKC-bound commuters between Sion and Kurla, reducing crowding pressure.
3. Develop a bus terminal near the ONGC pedestrian bridge entrance and start feeder bus services to offices across BKC.
We all deserve a dignified walking experience to our workplaces. Let’s make it happen!
📣 Tweet to your representatives using #Walk2BKC and demand action now!

If there is just one thing India can do fast to improve quality of life- its footpaths.
Not Multi crore flyovers, not 8 lane highways, just a simple 10 feet wide footpath everywhere.
This is such a low hanging fruit, why can’t we do this.
(Let’s figure out problem of encroachments later).
We have the highest pedestrian population on earth but no footpaths…

The algorithm is basically just the Law of Attraction in practice, and the results are horrifying.

I met an extremely eminent engineer who had attended a conference on 6G mobile technology. Every now and then he would ask "But what's it for?" and people would look awkward, shuffle their notes and then continue where they left off.

If you don’t know how insane the schooling scene in Mumbai is, take a look at the kind of questions that get asked in the application form. This one’s for a Pre-School 🤦🏻♂️
