मराठीचं संवर्धन करायचं असेल तर ... 1. मराठी पुस्तकं विकत घ्या 2. मराठी नियतकालिकांचे वर्गणीदार व्हा 3. मराठी सांस्कृतिक आणि वैचारिक कार्यक्रमांना हजर राहा 4. मराठी नाटकं आणि सिनेमा बघा ... आणि यासाठी कुठल्याही इतर भाषेचा द्वेष करण्याची गरज नाही

संतकृपा झाली । इमारत फळा आली ।। ज्ञानदेवें रचिला पाया । उभारिले देवालया ।। नामा तयाचा कंकर । तेणे केला हा विस्तार ।। जनार्दन एकनाथ । खांब दिला भागवत ।। तुका झालासे कळस । भजन करा सावकाश ।। बहेणी फडकते ध्वजा । निरुपण आले ओजा ।। -- संत बहिणाबाई #आषाढीएकादशी2025

Pleasantly surprised to read about this census town near Nashik (Population: 25,000 in 2011) that seems to have figured out how to raise its own revenues outside of devolution. I wonder what the incentive to do so was. Source: Indian Express

A lovely thread on Ramanand Chatterjee, the editor of “Modern Review”. Also sharing the (ungated) link to a review I wrote in 2016 on a very good collection of essays from that outstanding journal… livemint.com/Leisure/omtPFl…

Last month, India hit rock bottom in news culture. But once, there was a journalist so trusted, villagers from remote corners wrote him letters asking about everything from world affairs to kitchen remedies. Meet the forgotten father of Indian journalism. Thread. 1/20

I was going to present my thesis work during an Astronomical Society Meeting in BARC in the early 1990s. I was engrossed in a live cricket telecast in the canteen. I panicked. Then I realized that the chair for the session, Prof. Narlikar was equally engrossed in the telecast.
