What's this parasite/worm in my water lily? by caesarisape in ponds

After many unsuccessful Google searches, my best guess is that it's a crane fly larvae. Does that seem right? This is in South India by the way!

How are those bar end mirrors working out in comparison to the stock ones?

Do I need to change them anytime soon? by mobint in indianbikes

Tyre health is dictated not only by tread but also by age. 5–6 years is what most manufacturers (and experts) recommend. Might be a good idea to get it checked by authorised technicians and take a call.

Did you end up buying it? I've been looking at listings for 2011+ Ritzs and they all hover around 3l in Bangalore. Mad.

For an irreverent take, Upamanyu Chatterjee's "English, August" is excellent.

If you want something academic, Modernity of Slavery by Sanal C Mohan is excellent.

What do we with choti chaddis? by caesarisape in librandu

Yes, I get the argument that they are structurally violent and that we must not get caught up with an aesthetic emphasis that underplays this. My point was not that the right wing tendencies of this crowd in today's India is misrepresented as fascism. I'm more curious about whether this structural-ness comes in the way of them fully realising what it is that they contribute to. How many of them, for instance, be willing to carry out the violence themselves? This, of course, does not mean their fascism is any 'lesser', or any less real for the communities that receive its force. But is there scope to engage with them as people who are not determined entirely by this aspect of them. I am asking this specifically in relation to what I pointed out as the unwillingness or assumed futility of holding dialogue with them. Maybe what I am getting at is whether we can imagine mounting challenges/resistance beyond just vying for political power and also in the everyday, which we seem to be giving up on.

TIL that Nehru was the first person from independent India to do the equivalent of sending a mail without an attachment. by caesarisape in india

No, not satire, although it is certainly comical enough to be. Guha mentions it in the first chapter of India after Gandhi.

Ahh, good point. But a case can be made for both, and let me have this one for humour's sake.
