  8. (Longer post incoming) I attended a #repaircafe walk in Mumbai! The experience was interesting

    I am used to roaming places like CTC in Hyd, SP road in Bangalore, Lamington road in Mumbai, usually with dad but also frequently myself or with college friends.

    Doing it as part of a community walk was a first because it felt exciting to meet folks with a similar set of interests explore a new but familiar scene. Safe to say that I'll be attending more of these

  9. “City of sweat: A vision of our overheated future on the streets of Mumbai”

    With record breaking heat and 90% humidity,

    “resilience is coming up against hard limits of survivability.”

    - Hard-hitting reporting. I was struck by the poor taxi driver prophesying that “Kalyug has come”

  15. "... And the lion shall lie down with the lamb ..."

    And, also, no doubt, the wolf. This lion and wolf have already divvied up the lamb and are sleeping off the feast.

    Australia Day, 2008. Not sure exactly where, but I had a late lunch upstairs at Leopold's in Mumbai, and this pic was taken at 13:24, so it's somewhere on the walk between my hotel and Leopold's. Since I don't know exactly where my Mumbai hotel was, I've pinned this on Leopold's.

  16. From Darien Fenton on #Facebook (with hashtags added here):
    'What Andrea #Vance said in The Post today:
    'Andrea Vance: If a foreign diplomat can stand up to Peters, why can’t #Luxon?
    'OPINION: ...
    'Only weeks ago, #NZFirst proposed stripping around half a million permanent residents of voting rights. Last month its #Mumbai-born Upper Harbour #candidate Bernadette Soares suggested temporarily closing the border to migrants.
    '...In April deputy leader #ShaneJones dismissed a trade deal with #India by saying he didn't want a “butter chicken tsunami” coming to New Zealand.
    'Do not diminish any of this as empty parliamentary theatre.
    'This is the exact playbook of Donald #Trump’s #MAGA movement. That is precisely how the rhetoric took root in the United States: first non-white #migrants were scapegoated and their #loyalty questioned, #voting rights were stripped, then border control was militarised, ICE raids become routine, and the civic fabric of a nation was torn apart.
    'To secure his own #political survival, Peters is dragging New Zealand down the same toxic path as the US and the UK, actively importing hyper-polarisation and fracturing social cohesion until the country becomes as divided and ungovernable as Washington or Westminster.

    'Its also straight out of another playbook: Peters’ own campaign manual.
    He has long understood the value of provoking governing partners into overreacting and then presenting himself as the aggrieved victim.
    'Which leaves Christopher Luxon with a problem of his own making.
    'By failing to draw a line early in the coalition, he allowed Peters to define where the line sits. Sack him now and Peters claims martyrdom. Keep him, and Luxon owns both the behaviour and the message it sends.
    '.....'

  17. Detained, Summoned, Threatened, And Now Slapped With FIRs: Inside Mumbai's Protest Crackdown

  20. Una empresa de #aceitedepalma, un grupo de financieros de #EEUU y la destrucción de la selva amazónica de #Perú

    https://www.businessinsider.es/economia/empresa-aceite-palma-grupo-financieros-eeuu-destruccion-selva-amazonica-peru-1435976

    El grupo #OchoSur vendió aceite de palma libre de deforestación a los fabricantes de #Cheetos, #Colgate y #Pepsi, pero la realidad era muy diferente.

    Dos de las plantaciones de aceite de palma más grandes de Perú se encuentran en el lado oeste del río #Ucayali, que fluye desde los #Andes hasta el #Amazonas. Desde arriba, el paisaje circundante parece pintura: un remolino de verde entre lagos oscuros y ríos marrones. #Tibecocha, la más grande de las dos plantaciones, parece haber sido trazada en la jungla con escuadra y cartabón. Su cuadrícula rectangular de caminos se extiende por casi 13 kilómetros y contiene un millón de palmeras. La propiedad más pequeña, Zanja Seca, es casi del tamaño de Manhattan.

    Pero la creación de las plantaciones tuvo un alto precio. Para dar paso a esos campos industriales de palmeras, se talaron alrededor de 12.000 hectáreas de #selvatropical, un tramo de destrucción que un líder indígena calificó como un acto de #ecogenocidio. Los biólogos del Museo Field de Chicago han clasificado las montañas escarpadas que se elevan al oeste de las plantaciones "entre las más diversas de todas las áreas de conservación en Perú". Cuando el equipo del museo examinó la región durante tres semanas en el año 2000, contabilizó 1.600 especies de plantas, 71 especies de mamíferos y más de 500 especies de aves. Al menos 28 especies eran nuevas para la #ciencia.

    Desde la década de 1960, se ha acabado con más del 13% de la selva amazónica original. La mayor parte de la destrucción se ha concentrado en #Brasil, pero Perú es segundo en la lista. Si la destrucción continúa, Thomas Lovejoy, un exasesor de biodiversidad del Banco Mundial, ha argumentado que el Amazonas podría alcanzar un punto de inflexión y volverse demasiado caliente, seco y propenso a incendios para seguir siendo una selva tropical. Sin su capacidad de absorción de #carbono, el mundo se enfrentaría a un aumento de las temperaturas y al derretimiento de los #casquetespolares, haciendo que ciudades tan lejanas como #Mumbái sean prácticamente inhabitables.

  22. How a construction boom led to toxic air in Mumbai

  23. Our first stop was Sodabottleopenerwalla - a loving, playful homage to the Parsi cafes of Mumbai. The Parsis are a Zoroastrian community that came to India in the 16th century. Centered mainly in Mumbai, this small community has punched well above its weight. One business that many of them started were cafes the feature unique Indian and Iranian dishes.

    As you can see from the sign, the restaurant has a unique sense of humor.

  24. IIT Bombay Suicide: Did Authorities Fail to Act Even After Surveys Pointed to Rampant Casteism?

    Although an internal probe panel linked the recent suicide of a Dalit student on the campus to academic performance, at least three surveys by SC-ST Student Cell pointed to a highly discriminative atmosphere on campus towards students from the Dalit and Adivasi communities.
