Walking fixes our brains. We don't have walkable cities because it is easy to manipulate broken brains.

Bengaluru’s #lakes once formed a living network that protected the city from floods and sustained its water needs. Today, many of them survive only because citizens stepped in. Read @Jashbaat’s story to understand what it will take to truly revive them. https://t.co/YF0mkbj5fB

Volunteer groups have restored dozens of Bengaluru’s lakes, yet untreated sewage, shrinking catchments and relentless construction still threaten the entire system. The revival is real, but it is fragile. Read @Jashbaat’s story for the full picture. https://t.co/YF0mkbj5fB

Neerugantis once kept #Bengaluru’s lakes alive with deep, inherited knowledge. Their role is fading even as the city races to rejuvenate waterbodies. What does this mean for long term care? Read @Jashbaat’s story to find out. https://t.co/YF0mkbj5fB

Some lakes in #Bengaluru are lush again with birds, walkers and clean water. Others are drying, clogged or encroached. The difference often comes down to community action and official neglect. Read @Jashbaat’s story for the ground reality. https://t.co/YF0mkbj5fB

Boundaries on maps can’t contain nature. Yet, a new plan for #SanjayGandhiNationalPark seeks to redraw its eco-sensitive zones for #tourism and infrastructure. What will that mean for the park’s people, plants, and animals? Read Nikeita Saraf’s essay here: https://t.co/7oGpBDbKGE

To understand the city’s uneasy relationship with nature, we walk through #SanjayGandhiNationalPark - a place where people and forests have long coexisted. Now, a new plan threatens that balance. Read Nikeita Saraf’s essay here: https://t.co/7oGpBDbKGE #Mumbai #ecology

(7/9) Delhi's #pollution is causing a surge in #illnesses. Toxic air and water are fuelling respiratory and heart diseases, anxiety, sleeplessness, and fatigue. The city is quite literally gasping to live well, writes @jashbaat & Maitreyee Rele. https://t.co/c8lZev7PPe

(8/9) @Jashbaat writes how #airpollution affects women and men differently, worsening women’s reproductive and mental health, even anaemia. For outdoor workers, the burden doubles with indoor pollution adding to toxic air outside. #Delhi https://t.co/5sqzO31Yh8

when you have a crush you should be allowed to throw yourself off a tall building once with no physical consequences just to get it out of your system

Bangalore, there’s this one aunty in RT Nagar and icl this is what my future will look like.

London, New York done Paris, LA, San Francisco remaining

Mira Nair on stage, dhoom machale playing in the background, Nehruvian ideas getting imparted unabashedly from a platform like in school assemblies…Zohran is truly an Indian millennial who grew up between 2004-2014 🤣

Two of the five dard e disco cities are now under the caliphate

I ate a sandwich with pickles and liked it… listen man, the twenties are a wild time. Everytime I go to sleep, there’s a genuine chance I’ll wake up as a completely new woman. like what’s even going on anymore

Nothing new to say about SRK at 60 (complimentary), except that he remains the bridge between an India that is and an India that should have been. Those "small small things in big big countries" are now big big things in small small countries.

Shah Rukh as an idea remains important because he reminds us of a nation we once mostly were — hungry and passionate, that also valued decency and pluralism; one could reach for the sky but also respect those on the ground. Because desh banane ke liye taaqat nahi… niyat chahiye.

there's a scene in k3g kajol says "aap aaj zaroorat se zyada sexy lag rahe ho" when srk is wearing what can only be the most atrocious suit in modern history and that's how i know true love exists

Piyush Pandey’s life represents Indian society’s fall from grace. He wrote ‘Mile Sur Mera Tumhara’, a beautiful national integration campaign. And then scripted ‘Abki Baar’, knowing fully well what Modi stood for.

Mumbai’s salt-pan lands once acted as giant sponges against sea and rainwater - but now high-rise housing is inching in, turning these natural buffers into concrete risk zones. Illustrated essay by Nikeita Saraf: https://t.co/NgsGKW8vYN #saltpans #mumbai #climate
