WindTalkers' 6th century ride in search of 100 year old Jambhul/ Jamun trees!
Sunday 10 December 2023, we four friends cycled or biked to BAHADOLI (famously known as JAMBHULGAON) in Palghar, in search of hundred year old Jambhool/ Jamun (?Syzygium cumini). In their search, we cycled more than hundred kilometres!
The blog post is divided as follows:
Jamuns of Jambhulgaon and their 100 years old Jambhul trees.
Photos en route from sunrise.
Other things in Bahadoli.
Return trip by sunset.
I thought hundred year old living beings would look really old. But no. They look young. Almost unbelievable young and strong. What I realised is we compare their age to humans and since humans look really old even before their 100 and that is why the expectation that they should look really old.
JAMUNS OF JAMBHULGAON & THEIR 100 YEARS OLD TREES:
Now the star of our trip! The trees!
These two may be the original trees in the village, whose seeds, saplings and grafts have spread the Jamun farming in the entire village of Bahadoli , which is now known as JAMBHULGAON.
Here is the link to the article in the newspaper.
We met the villagers in this village, who welcomed us graciously in their home and took us on a tour in their village. They are proud of their efforts. The villagers and the farmers of this village are the real stars, whose efforts have won them the GI tag and their jamun fruits are export quality.
The season for Jamuns is around April-May-June.
The bamboo scaffoldings protect the trees while picking the fruits. The tree and its branches are delicate. Earlier, when the trees were shaken to collect the fruits, they used to get damaged. If someone climbs a branch to collect fruits, the branch breaks. So an innovative solution was found by the villagers. They climb these scaffoldings and pick up the fruits by hand, without harming the trees.
Mohur of the Jamun/ Jambhul trees.
2. PHOTOS EN ROUTE FROM SUNRISE:
Now let us go for a ride.
03:45 wake up alarm. 04:40 start cycling. 05:00 meeting of friends. 09:00 breakfast. 10:30 reach Bahadoli (60 kms cycled). 11:00 to 13:00 guided tour of the village. 15:00 to 16:00 lunch halt at NGO Seva Vivek. 19:15 home sweet home.
The point of the photo is the waning crescent Moon and Venus conjunction, happening behind us.
Sunrise
3. OTHER THINGS IN BAHADOLI:
Entering Bahadoli.
Rice pyramids in Bahadoli with jamun trees around.
Local produce in the market.
4. RETURN RIDE BY SUNSET:
Tansa river.
My friend, PP (Anna), completed his first 100 km cycling ride in this trip!
Many thanks to my friend, Dr JVT, who connected us with the villagers and they welcomed us all, treated to refreshing tea and took on a guided tour of their home and village.
While returning, my cycle's chain malfunctioned and the road-side mechanic solved it using 14 no. pana. We all were home by 19:30. Legs were aching. I was sleepy and dozed off while seeing the photos.

this is fucking insane??? how are you gonna mock people who recognize that Hamas is a fucking terrorist organization, then acknowledge that the hostages exist (a very low bar that so many ppl fail to meet) while also claiming that calling for the hostages to be returned is a bad thing???
#and the way i can't say anything when this person says things that are explicitly xenophobic and/or antisemitic#bc they're the server owner#and i don't wanna get kicked bc there's other ppl (not this person) who i legitimately enjoy interacting with?#also israel literally *is* the only full democracy in the middle east#(cyprus has a slightly higher freedom index score than israel but it's generally considered part of europe even though it's geographically#in the middle east)#the economist democracy index considers israel to be a “flawed democracy” rather than a “full democracy”#but it's only 0.2 pts away from being a “full democracy” based on the 2023 results#the vast majority of other MENA countries are rated as being “authoritarian”#the EDI doesn't have tunisia as a democracy but some other indices consider it to be one#although that's irrelevant if we're only talking about the ME since tunisia is in north africa#she also uses the term “iof” so i honestly don't give a shit about her opinions as a non-muslim or arab goyische white european @ this point

GIS In Our Daily Lives
The involvement of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in our daily lives is pervasive, influencing and enhancing various aspects across different sectors. The integration of GIS into everyday activities has become integral for decision-making, planning, and optimizing resources. GIS helps city planners and transportation experts to provide them with information like maps, satellite pictures, population statistics, and infrastructure data. GIS helps them make better decisions when designing cities and transportation systems that are sustainable and good for the environment.
The following points elucidate the notable involvement of GIS in our daily lives:
Navigation and Location Services: GIS provides monitoring functions through the visual display of spatial data and precise geographical positioning of monitored vehicles, whereas GPS provides accurate, clear, and precise information on the position and navigation of a monitored or tracked vehicle in real-time and at the exact location.GIS is at the core of navigation applications and location-based services on smartphones. It enables accurate mapping, real-time navigation, and geolocation services, assisting individuals in finding locations, planning routes, and navigating unfamiliar areas.
E-Commerce and Delivery Services: GIS software is a powerful tool for supply chain network planning. It helps determine the optimal location for distribution centers, warehouses, or other supply facilities. GIS is utilized in logistics and delivery services for optimizing routes, tracking shipments, and ensuring timely deliveries. E-commerce platforms leverage GIS to enhance the efficiency of their supply chain and last-mile delivery processes.
Weather Forecasting and Disaster Management: Many states are using GIS dashboard to monitor the rainfall across the state, on a real-time basis, from the data shared by rain sensors installed at various locationsGIS plays a crucial role in weather forecasting and disaster management. It assists meteorologists in analyzing spatial data, predicting weather patterns, and facilitating timely responses to natural disasters by mapping affected areas and coordinating emergency services.
Healthcare Planning and Disease Monitoring: Geographic Information Systems enable the visualization and monitoring of infectious diseases. Additionally GIS records and displays the necessary information that health care needs of the community as well as the available resources and materials. GIS supports public health initiatives by mapping the spread of diseases, analyzing healthcare resource distribution, and assisting in the planning of vaccination campaigns. It aids in identifying high-risk areas and optimizing healthcare service delivery.
Social Media and Geo-tagging: GIS also helps in geotagging and other location related information in posts, it’s tools can map and visualize the spatial distribution of social media activity. This analysis can reveal trends, hotspots, and patterns in user engagement across different geographic areas. Many social media platforms incorporate GIS for geo-tagging, allowing users to share their location and experiences. This feature enhances social connectivity and facilitates the sharing of location-specific information.
Smart City Initiatives: The Geographic Information System (GIS) offers advanced and user-friendly capabilities for Smart City projects and allows to capture, store and manipulate, analyze and visualize spatially referenced data. It is used for spatial analysis and modeling. It is the cornerstone of smart city planning, enabling the integration of data for efficient urban management. It supports initiatives related to traffic management, waste disposal, energy consumption, and overall infrastructure development.
Education and Research: GIS is increasingly utilized in education and research for visualizing and analyzing spatial data. It enables students and researchers to explore geographic relationships, conduct field studies, and enhance their understanding of various subjects.
Agricultural Management and Precision Farming: Farmers leverage GIS to optimize agricultural practices by analyzing soil conditions, crop health, and weather patterns. Precision farming techniques, facilitated by GIS, contribute to increased crop yields and sustainable farming practices.
Real Estate and Property Management: In the real estate sector, GIS aids in property mapping, land valuation, and site selection. It provides real estate professionals with valuable insights into spatial relationships, market trends, and optimal development opportunities.
Tourism and Recreation: GIS enhances the tourism industry by providing interactive maps, route planning, and location-based information. It assists tourists in exploring destinations, finding attractions, and navigating efficiently.
The broad and varied involvement of GIS in our daily lives underscores its significance as a technology that not only facilitates geographic data analysis but also contributes to the efficiency, safety, and interconnectedness of modern society. As GIS applications continue to evolve, their impact on daily activities is expected to further expand and refine.

every time someone complains about a show clearly not being filmed in the place it's set, I get the strongest desire to find the screenshot from Dawson's Creek where Joey is talking about being in Massachusetts whilst standing in front of a plaque that CLEARLY and VISIBLY says N. Carolina on it
#she's literally planning a trip out of capeside m.a#it's soooo funny#like besties. I have eyes. I can see. they are not where they claim to be#the weirdest thing about Dawson's Creek (well. not WEIRDEST but close)#is that it is set in M.A but NOTHING about the show indicates that#it was filmed in North Carolina. none of the actors are even trying to do the right accent. they make up some bullshit about Rhode Island#that. is geographically impossible#like. they're not even trying they're really not

If you don't know this already, please try and internalize it: the idea that people join the US military primarily because they are young people at a disadvantage in life coerced into believing it is the most accessible path to upward mobility is not true.
if you're parroting this talking point, you are doing propaganda for the US military and you just need to stop saying it. here's an article from the Military Times that breaks the finding of various studies like this one from 2020 and this one from 2018 that analyze motivations for joining the military and popular conceptions of motivations for joining the military. Here's a pretty important excerpt:
Further, they hypothesized that some of this possible misconception about poorer Americans joining the military was a geographical issue. While the Defense Department tracks the zip codes of recruits ― and historically, many of them come from more rural areas in the southeast ― it doesn’t track their incomes or their parents’ incomes, which leads to assumptions that the poorer their communities, the poorer the recruits. [...] Using Bureau of Labor Statistics data from 1997 to 2008, they found that the services have recruited primarily from the middle class, America’s largest socio-economic demographic. “We show that recent recruits tend to have higher than average socioeconomic background: they disproportionally come from the middle of the family income, family wealth, and cognitive skill distributions, with both tails under-represented,” they found.
Here's from the army times:
Surveyed troops said these were the top five reasons for staying in the Army. The percentages indicate how many troops felt the factors were “extremely important” to them:
- Opportunity to serve my country — 53.5% - How well my retirement pay or benefits will meet my future needs — 45.1% - Opportunities to lead or train soldiers — 43.5% - My sense of purpose — 38.1% -How well my pay or benefits meet my present needs — 37%
Also mentioned in other sources but here from the NY times in 2020 as well, army enlistment is becoming increasingly skewed towards being the children of people who have previously served.
The main predictors are not based on class or race. Army data show service spread mostly evenly through middle-class and “downscale” groups. Youth unemployment turns out not to be the prime factor.
'Joining the army to lift yourself out of poverty' is not the reality for military service, it is the narrative used by the military in it's marketing and recruitment. if you go around repeating it i hope for your sake you're at least on their payroll! if you're going to bootlick don't do it for free!
