"The thing abt elephants," explains this truck driver, "is they don't harm if you don't threaten. I've seen so many herds. Once everyone complained coz they stood on the road for 6 hours. But what's the problem? Just stop and wait. If you are in a forest, you're in their home."

Akbar’s Church, Agra. Mughal India’s first Roman Catholic Church, 1600. Rebuilt a few times. The Portuguese frm Goa wanted to convert him. He funded this Church instead. They followed him 8 yrs later frm Agra to Lahore to try again. Failed. Yet, Akbar visited this Church on Xmas

A tree offers everyone-regardless of caste, gender,religion, colour-it’s comfort, shade and succour.

Instead of Raksha Bandhan, Delhi needs a Vriksha Bandhan. How can the world's most polluted city do this? Get rid of its trees, mostly very old ones? @DelhiTreesSOS @ravinarajkohli @100raubhG @suhelseth @ErikSolheim #mrtb

Young gent frm Bihar borrowd Rs. 2 lakh frm d village moneylender in Motihari, #bihar . In 1 yr, he’s paid 1,20,000 interest. No bank gave him a loan. I lent him money to close this. The rich steal crores, d poor can’t get a tiny sum to save them frm selling their land n cows.

In the middle of everything regular people are trying to do to help workers, I get this email from a PR agency. Thinks I’m a Journo. Says do a story on our client who is giving ration. Corporate India -stop hiring PR agencies and spend the money on real people.

Sometimes, people frm the past still escort you around. In #Delhi my home is half an hour away frm Man Singh Road. In #Pakistan , it is an hour and a half frm Man Singh Haveli in Rohtas Fort. Pretty neat to find Akbar's legendary Rajput general present near both my current homes.

Heath Inequity 101 : Friend calls @Moolchand_Hosp . Is told pay a lakh prior to admission. She says insurance may take care of that. Is told they have a tie up w Vikram Hotel, so no insurance works. How many have a lakh? 40% Delhi is poor, they deserve life too. @drharshvardhan

Three women from Lakimpur's tribes. Weaving baskets, bags and hats from reeds at @DilliHaat . If you're around, grab a basket. At least it's not plastic. At least it helps women fight poverty. At least it's useful.

Calcutta-Lahore. Some connections run deep and underground. Thank you @rafay_alam for pointing out this marker. #Lahore

Scarlet Finches atop a tree in Uttarakhand. Who needs any other kind of X-mas tree when nature offers this? Thanks Rajesh Khokar for this image. @IndiAves

What do you see in this picture? Air purifier? Plastic? Climate chnge solution? I see plastic and a the absence of rational, scientific thinking. Instead of wasting money on this, why can't people save a tree nearby instead? Much more useful.

My doc calls me to say bye. Says: Tell everyone in India if they’ve had COVID induced pneumonia, they must go to a doctor after 6-12 months. Get a chest X Ray, see how their lungs are doing. There can be deterioration of the lung in such patients. Pls help share this science!
