The farm is enveloped with the smell of sweet citrus flowers & the floor is littered with dead bees. A paradox I can’t explain. Nervous to see dead bees at this time of the year.

Todays talks with Centre inconclusive, "farmers' discussions focused solely on providing a legal guarantee for MSP on all crops." Both the AAP & the leaders of agitating #Punjab #farmer unions are focused on Legal guarantee of #MSP for Punjab. I have not received a reply to my

I cannot fathom a reason why teenagers and adults will come forward to identify themselves as 'drug addicts'. The census is a distraction. Were they to reveal themselves, my conservative estimate is Punjab would have 100 drug addicts per village X 12,500 villages = 12,50,000

Bharat Krishak Samaj was formed on 3rd April 1955. After 7 decades, cognisant of the changing times the logo too has evolved. Change is the only constant.

5 decades back, when I was a kid, on my 1st camel ride (which I had with another kid) on the farm - we urged the camel to speed up & both fell off the galloping camel. Later the kid became my brother in law. Life is great. 😊

For how long can Pakistan sustain deployment of forces at the border on high alert? Just the suspense of the timing, kind and place of Indian response will unravel the grip of the military establishment in Pakistan’s internal politics, in annexed Baluchistan & on the Afghan

The Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan if scrapped could provide water enough to end the water sharing dispute between Punjab, Rajasthan & Haryana + more. It may have implications of water availability & access in the Brahmaputra basin in NE India vis-a-vis China. My take is
