Aravali, Dhurandar AQI and Political Mahabharata of New India

The news is that Aravalli is the next Ganga, Yamuna, as Saraswati takes a backseat in our country, filled with uneducated leaders and even uneducated voters who select candidates based on their claims to change city names rather than development. Or maybe the junta is now too aware of the flawed development and thinks it is better to settle for Sitapur, at least somewhere a woman may gain musical visibility over a forest or environment, if not justice.  

While you finished reading the post, chances are steep that Indian administrators have already gifted another irreplaceable environmental belt to industries. Now you know why education is so very important, and the syllabus [including WhatsApp university] needs more of environmental studies than just updates on Babar, Akbar or Taimur. 

Mughlai cuisine apart, the Mughals also helped flourish the carpet business in India. Carpets were originally used by Central Asian nomads for warmth, which later evolved into a status symbol, to now into an art of dealing with real issues.

2026 is coming, and Men are busy recreating Fa9la steps and still dreaming of being a funny spy in Pakistan, while women are busy amassing cash over their fun facts. If you know what I mean, and if you still do not, thank God! There is some hope left for you. 

Prime-time news, or drama, continues and now happily flows on social media. So, 2026, what hopes do you bring? Well, if you have 365 days of hope, then I would still like to have that Dhurandhar leap of faith, given our great leadership, including ones that are now opening, pulling dupattas out of women's faces, even if it was an honouring ceremony. What is more problematic is that the entire debate will shift from hijab to ghoonghat, leaving the actual topic to rest in political debate. Us vs them? again? Oh no. 

You wonder which is falling steeply? Indian currency or Indian political order. Whatever it is, Indians' adaptability is at an all-time high; we are braving poor AQI and busy honouring celebs and brands. Messy, isn't it? Because she has touched, the living God is not living up to the mark, it seems.

While in other news, I just finished watching a yawnfest called Thamma, where humans, actors and Indian wolverines are flying around buildings, trees and mountain tops. While I still struggle to walk. No thanks to my prostheticians, my motivation, expectations and hopes are falling faster than the Indian rupee. Positively, the dollar might be strengthening, but Indian medical is only weakening. Prostheticians charge a bomb yet leave us crippled with their incompetence and balance sheets, or God knows what. Endolite autospells better as "end of life", and Indian amputees, even though they paid taxes, braving the poor infrastructure, are now made to stay at home, not because of poor AQI but poor Medical and economic IQ/EQ of the change makers. 

Medical care dare has become more about money than meaning, business than body, where healing is optional, and the patient is an EMI plan. The sad part is that you cannot complain, and who to complain to? Dhritrashtra was born blind, and Gandhari chose to keep her eyes closed. Hence, the throne was claimed by Pandavas who could only divide their wives or lose them in the bet, and stay listless even when she gets disrobed in broad daylight in front of all relatives, all statesmen. How convenient! The throne matters and not the one who sits in it, as long as they abide by the kingmaker. Tak Tak Tandoori nights. 

Maybe it is time to re-learn from the epics without disrespecting them.  

Perhaps it's time to consider the human aspect of agony rather than just the invoices.

It may be time for leadership to look at causes rather than just cause celebre.
