Yesterday 4 people died due to Lightning in #Virudhunagar. Every year, >5000 die in India.
This thread is about Lightning precaution & busting myth.
Many think, people die due to direct lightning strike, but most of the death happens due to the concept called step potential 1/10

Sound on please ! Hornbills are calling ! How many Great Hornbills are too many ! Surely never enough! A gathering like this is called a ‘congregation’, and what a stunning congregation this is ! Somewhere in in the Anamalai landscape in Tamil Nadu there is a precious stronghold whose future rests in the great old trees in the last remaining rainforests. These magical moments are captured by @dhanu_paran #GreatHornbills #Hornbills #wildlifeconservation #BirdsofIndia

Take a moment. Let your eyes linger on these two magnificent leopards, one wearing its rosettes like secrets beneath a cloak of black, the other revealing them in all their glory on gold ! Such extraordinary beauty that words simply fall away.
This magical moment was captured in Benny, who is documenting melanistic leopards.

Nithya Raman won the election to become a mayor of Los Angeles, which will host 2028 Olympics games. Sadly, in India, Mayor posts are powerless, often occupied by supporters of district level party leadership. India’s urban governance is collapsing, requires major reform
Nithya V. Raman who once ran "Transparent Chennai" org to bring accountability in the Chennai city governance is leading in the race to become a Mayor of Los Angeles in California. It looks like, easier to become a Mayor of Los Angeles than to bring accountability in Chennai

In any serious democratic country, city mayors often become future national leaders. Running a city is like running a mini state, deciding on water, education, waste mgmt, traffic, infra, green spaces, flood mgmt, city level economy (shops, companies), balancing budget.etc

The powerful governor Greg Abbott lost his reelection in Texas. Hats off to him, even though he is paraplegic due to spinal cord injury, he raised above his disability to become a judge, then one of the powerful politicians in USA. Inspiration for many

I don’t waste my time on loud angry voices (noises). India is copying these bad aspects of US politics, ignoring the good part. These two extremes are not the voice of silent majority. I ignore them, don’t waste my precious time of these human loud speakers

The next 10 yrs are very crucial for Tamil Nadu, state should laser focus on economy, skill development, innovation, and entrepreneurship. If not now, it’s never, we may end up poor forever, 20+% youth unemployment will lead to failed society with crime and social unrest.
Tamil Nadu faces one of the most crucial elections in its history. With population growth stabilising & the average age now 36+, the next 10 yrs will decide: will TN remain lower-middle-class or finally rise to upper-middle-class prosperity? Need eagle-eyed focus on economy 1/3

Sadly reality of Tamil Nadu Urban areas with loss of green cover. High rainfall receiving cities like Kumbhakonam should have tree lines on the main roads but green cover in our core cities lost. We still can improve, suitable native plants can give life to these narrow streets
Kumbakonam - Business Capital of Delta!
