Hello, Mumbai! Here's a little something for you 👋🏻
It's Sunday! Feels like a good day to revisit #BimblingInBombay. xitter.cf/i/events/9477352713987…

When I first met him, out of awe and awkwardness I fiddled with my hair. He slapped my hand away and said 'hero ki tarah Baal mat bana...tu actor hai'!
He didn't flatter you. He didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. He told you what you needed to hear. That was Nana. Straightforward. Rough, honest and had the most beautiful smile.
He always had a strange way of showing affection. He would shout at you first, and then somewhere between the third or fourth insult, you realised you were being hugged. He loved me and I loved him back.
He was a mentor, a teacher, a critic and a friend who beat me and everyone else around him in carrom game after game and relished his victories.
Nana your intensity, laughter , madness and love will always stay with us. I just wish we had time to have more conversations, another argument, another cup of tea and a game of carrom.
You have left a void not only in the world of cinema but in the hearts of all Indians and the world. All I can say is, I will miss you dearly and carry your words in my heart till the end of time....'hero banne ke chakar mein actor mat khona'
May your soul rest in peace Nana and Allah bless you. The Heavens will be blessed to have you... a masterful actor and an unbeatable carrom champion. Love you and miss you dearly!! Too soon my Hero Actor! RIP.

This is so sick! How do we permit this in the name of religion? Pollution and mass
Death of fish makes you wonder what was in the offerings?
BMC workers cleared thousands of dead fish from Mumbai’s historic Banganga Tank after a mass fish death was reported. The fish reportedly died due to excessive food offerings and pollution during Pitrupaksha rituals, raising concerns over the impact on the waterbody’s ecosystem.

The Dog Nawab of Junagadh
In honour of the late Gola aka Kebab aka Rajpal Singh winning the Fat Dogs of Delhi competition, I thought id do a quick thread on perhaps the most consequential dog-lover in Indian history - the Dog Nawab of Junagadh.

Chembur, let's be honest.
This long distance relationship has gone on for far too long.
It's time to make it official.
We're moving in. ❤️
Doolally Taproom, Chembur. Now Open.

A can of Fanta sold in London has 63 calories. Buy the same brand in India, and it contains three times as much sugar. It also includes artificial dye, whose presence in food products in Europe requires a prominent health warning.
In India, the colorant’s presence is noted merely in small print on the back of the can. That suits some of the world’s biggest companies, which have long resisted Indian efforts to mandate nutritional warnings on the front of packaged products reut.rs/4wOp5QT

I think India accidentally built the internet’s greatest nostalgia archive.
It started with one barbershop.
Now there are websites for truck journeys, chai tapris, regional songs, 90s cartoons, pan shops, bus rides and basically every piece of desi life you forgot you missed.

And somehow, every single one feels like a tiny time machine.
The internet is weird.
One day it's another AI wrapper.
The next day someone builds a website that makes you remember sitting at a chai tapri, travelling in a UP bus, listening to songs from a Bluetooth memory card or getting a ₹20 haircut in 2007.
Internet is actually beautiful sometimes.
Drop the desi nostalgia website I missed in the replies.
Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes. 👇

Some rallies never end. Our friendship is one of them.
Always a pleasure spending time with you, Roger. Until we meet again.

Mumbai has seen these extreme rain events all its recorded history but last 20 years we have seen increase in intensity as due to rising sea temperatures more intense weather systems are forming. Things going to get worse next few decades with extreme rain events. #MumbaiRains
