Our society is full of sick people, who instead of seeking help, go about exhibiting their sick mentality with impunity.

So I wasn't particularly excited about Kunal cornering someone inside an aircraft. Until I saw this. Monkey see monkey do, I guess. Looks like Arnab started this nonsense of cornering people in aircraft. Good on Kunal to pay him back in the same coin.

The only good system is a sound system
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Makes me proud of my alma mater.

Can we please talk about Adnan not his dad? This is ridiculous. Guy has taken Indian citizenship. अब बाप पर क्यों जाते हो।
If he is undeserving then say that much. If he is deserving then find someone else to lampoon, मोदी के राज में बहुत मिलेंगे।

Mallus need to choose between protesting a serious issue and setting a world record. You can combine the two, but it dilutes the impact of both.
Not everything you have/do needs to be superlative. Remember, you are Mallus, not Punjabis.
हमारे Gurgaon में तो कोई metro की line भी नहीं बनाता। ना ही कोई CAA को protest करता। जलन तो होगी ना।

China for a long time chose to be the recycling plant of the world. It wasn't out of altruism, it was just good business. In the process, it has realised better than anyone else, the true horror of use and throw culture.
If people living next to garbage dumps and landfills made environment policy, these are the kind of policies we would see. For too long, environmental issues have been out of sight, out of mind. Not any more.

New banners

Biryani on the boil



More art. Much much more. The foot over bridge has complete transformed - again.

बात तो सही है



The crowds are only getting thicker every day.


A very interesting art Installation. Someone has placed a bunch of onions in front of the map. I suppose the message is that 'असली मसला तो यह है जनाब'





More books. And people sitting and reading amidst the nonstop din and tamasha right in front of their library.

More postcards.

Someone made very interesting LED art. I thought it's be a custom PCB, till I went up and saw how simply it had been made (see the pic in this post). Beauty.

Young men were standing in a line observing this panel. The lafanga types - the kind, that if you see them coming towards you on the street, you move to one side. They were trying to identify each person in this panel. Name them. Know their bio. One by one they went over the whole thing. Then they asked others standing their. Politely.

तमाशा 😊

On Monday, Shaheen Bagh celebrated Frontier Gandhi, ख़ान अब्दुल गफ्फार ख़ान। The massacre of the खुदाई खिदमतगारs was described in great detail.

यह कौए और चील क्यों मंडरा रेले इसके सर पर?
PP again talks of apprehension.
Judge Lau says what may he do? What is the apprehension?
Tell me based on past conduct.
PP: He may repeat the same offence.
Judge Lau: What offence? Tell me. He'll read the preamble?
🔥🔥🔥
@[1214257652:2048:Meera Kri] looks like Azad may visit Shaheen Bagh at the same time as you. Prepare to be crushed by क्रांतिकारी left liberal women with their tongues hanging out, waiting for a glimpse of his royal hotness.

We attended a protest on 14 Dec 2019 at Jantar Mantar. Seeing how popular protest pics are, here they are :-D

Which insect is this? It was mauling the flower for a very long time.
Oh, look, Kavin is in this video. Shuffling along at the back.



Protest एक। रंग अनेक।

Ankur Suri, like a boss.
I'm not sure if we were born without fear. The fear of snakes and tigers seems to be genetically preprogrammed into us.

I think this man's day job involves keeping flies away from food by vigorously waving a cloth over it. That is one dizzy flag.

यहीं रहते हैं यहीं रहेंगे
हिन्दुस्तान जिंदाबाद
I love my India"

हिन्दुस्तान जिंदाबाद
I love my India"

Random cuteness



Someone has coloured the tubelights of the foot over bridge. The bridge roof now glows in psychedelic colours at night.




भगवा तले secular चाय



खूब कलाकार इकट्ठा हैं।
बड़े कलाकार मंच पर। छोटे बाहर सड़क पर।

कल शाम postcard to PM का कार्यक्रम था।






As I said earlier, the site has multiple venues where people are creating art. Here is one, situated on top of the foot over bridge, with an open call to artists. M2 was fascinated and we had to go back so he could watch them some more.



नीचे से ऊपर का नज़ारा।

शाम को लोग कम होते हैं। रात होते भीड़ उमड़ती है।

तमाशबीन



More art. So much art is being churned out there, that in one day the entire wall had transformed.


Reading a book. Learning to sketch. Lots of activities for the kids.



Do these cute kids understand the message on their board?
I suppose the detention center, an art Installation and popular attraction, would have driven home the point rather well.

You see a lot of flags at Shaheen Bagh.

प्रधान मंत्री को आमंत्रण

Yes, this is unsettling.
Our people, but not like "us".

More books. Tagore, Manto, Bhagat Singh, Tolstoy.
These vile people. Distributing Bhagat Singh's letters! What if everyone learns that he was a leftist. Diabolical.

A feast was being prepared. Young people doing the JLB.

Day 2. Security was missing at the gates, but we were challenged as we entered the protest ground, by this monkey.
These people have mercilessly massacred a song in public.
कौन हैं यह बेसुरे लोग? कहाँ से आते हैं?
