#lock down delhi

““The girls are unable to say anything because they are always being policed. You can’t ask questions, you won’t get the evidence on a silver platter. But when you are going around, you hear things and see things,” Singh explains, sitting in a nondescript office, piles of cardboard files all over the floor, documenting the thousands of girls they have rescued over the years, approximately 4,000 at last count. 

“Most of the time the girls are locked up and they are only allowed out when a customer comes in. To ensure they are not interacting with the customers, the brothel keepers are always banging on the door and take away the mobiles of the customers.”

As a result of an 11-month long operation, conducted before the pandemic, Guria India were able to rescue 136 underage victims of traffickers, resulting in 61 brothels being shut down.”

In the narrow alleyways of Meerganj, the notorious red light district in the city of Allahbad, a man dressed in a brown kurta with a rucksack walks past the dilapidated brothels shouting ‘lipsticks for sale, good prices.’ 

He barely warrants a glance, one of dozens of street sellers who stroll down the alley daily, hawking their wares, a common sight in the hustle and bustle of cities in India.

Word has got around that he’s selling good quality products like Max Factor and other brands the brothel girls recognise from billboards featuring their favourite Bollywood actresses. He’s cheaper than the other sellers and lets them pay in instalments. 

A group of young girls flock to him, picking up bright lipsticks and face powders, to make them look older than they are, or perhaps not, depending on the client’s preferences.

But this is no ordinary seller. He is from Guria India, an organisation which rescues and rehabilitates women and underage girls trapped in the sex trade. 

He has been working undercover, disguised as a cosmetics seller, gathering evidence of victims of traffickers who have been forced into sex work, many of whom are underage and often thousands of miles away from home.

“You are working on a razor’s edge. There are no second chances. One wrong move and you could be killed. It’s not like a movie where you get a retake,” says Ajeet Singh, Director of Guria India.  

The nature of trafficking is changing and so activists are having to find new and innovative  means to take them on. 

Singh said he came up with the idea of posing as a make-up seller after he found that the brothel owners were always one step ahead of him. 

“It was always very difficult to rescue the girls because someone would leak the information and the brothel keepers would move the girls. The girls were not a priority for the system, so the police were not helpful. We had to be proactive in getting the evidence.”

Using rudimentary equipment he bought from Delhi, including spy cams concealed in a pen and button, he began scouring the streets of the red light district for almost a year. 

“Make-up is something very enticing for girls. If you go to India, you’ll see street sellers in every city so I knew I would blend in,” he said.

“The girls are unable to say anything because they are always being policed. You can’t ask questions, you won’t get the evidence on a silver platter. But when you are going around, you hear things and see things,” Singh explains, sitting in a nondescript office, piles of cardboard files all over the floor, documenting the thousands of girls they have rescued over the years, approximately 4,000 at last count. 

“Most of the time the girls are locked up and they are only allowed out when a customer comes in. To ensure they are not interacting with the customers, the brothel keepers are always banging on the door and take away the mobiles of the customers.”

As a result of an 11-month long operation, conducted before the pandemic, Guria India were able to rescue 136 underage victims of traffickers, resulting in 61 brothels being shut down. 

Social media ‘weapon of choice’ for traffickers

The sting, which was signed off by local people, used undercover filming to collect evidence against offenders. When enough had been gathered, ten members of the Guria India team joined police as they carried out dawn raids, using iron cutters to access properties where the victims were being held.

There are an estimated 1.2 million children under 18 working in brothels in India, many of whom have been victims of sex traffickers. Approximately 75 per cent of the cases Guria India dealt with involved under age victims ranging from just six months to 17.

The majority of these trafficked children are from lower castes and more than half of them are from families living below the poverty line.  

While many of the girls sold to brothels are trafficked by relatives or family friends, in recent years, social media, with its low-risk and high rewards, has become the weapon of choice of traffickers, luring victims in with lucrative job offers or promises of marriage. 

“The internet and exploitative romantic relationships are key factors for trafficking in recent times,” said children’s rights activist Bharti Ali.

“Often, the police don’t start their search in cases of adolescent girls immediately as they believe it to be a case of elopement. Many cases end up in girls being sold further by the boy/person they trusted or who promised them false marriage.

“When girls go missing, parents often try to search within their own community, her friends and relatives. This is when they lose critical time. When they suspect that she may have eloped, they may tend to not report at all to protect family honour … The girls too are unable to report as the traffickers keep a close watch on them.”

For victims of traffickers, their introduction into the world of prostitution is a brutal and violent one, in which they face beatings, gang rape and starvation. Some victims also reported having chilli powder placed on their genitalia and being subjected to electric shocks. 

Among the girls they have rescued is Sarita, who was just 12-years-old when she was sold to a sex trafficker by her older brother and was transported 700 km away to work in a brothel. 

“My mum was working in Mumbai and I lived with my sister. My brother was a drug addict. He told me he was taking me to see my mum but instead he sold me to a trafficker. I was locked in a room and beaten and raped by several men. I managed to find a phone and called my mum,” she said.

Sarita’s mother, along with the police and Guria India activists, were able to rescue her and relocate the family. However, the majority of victims are not so lucky. India remains a socially conservative society and victims of trafficking will often be ostracised by their families and community. 

Rescuing victims of trafficking is only half the battle, while keeping them out of the hands of traffickers presents another challenge. 

Rehabilitating victims back into a society which was already hostile to them in the first place is difficult and often the girls will end up falling back into the hands of traffickers. 

In one case, 57 girls who were rescued by Guria were sent to a shelter home in Agra for rehabilitation, but were re-trafficked by the superintendent of the centre. Just this week, the superintendent was acquitted by the Supreme Court and Guria India is currently fighting the decision. 

Despite the setbacks, Singh remains hopeful. “Although I don’t think we can eradicate child prostitution in my lifetime, I’m hopeful we can set the foundations to make the change,” he said.

And sometimes all it takes is a rucksack and a Max Factor lipstick.

Whispers of the heart | Chapter 22

DISCLAIMER: The story is set in the early 20th century. While I have made efforts to capture the essence of the era, there may be inaccuracies as this is a work of fantasy. I do not own the characters Arnav and Khushi, and this story is purely fictional with no relation to any real individuals, living or dead. Any resemblance to actual persons or events is purely coincidental.

WARNING: 18+, MATURE CONTENT (Trigger warning-mention of r*pe and murder)

Chapter 22

"You know who I am, right?" Arnav asked softly to the little girl hunched down in her bed, clutching her knees to her chest. Her mother had died in the early morning, leaving 11-year-old Amelia in the hands of a complete stranger. Arnav saw the little girl bobbing her head slowly.

"This is my wife, Khushi," he said, drawing Khushi close and clutching her hand tightly. "We are going to take care of you, okay?" Arnav said, trying to sound reassuring. The girl raised her head to look at her brother."I know it's going to be very hard for you. but we are here for you, Amelia"

"Amy," she said softly. When Arnav looked at her questioningly, almost missing her remark, she added in her sweet trembling voice, "Only people call me Amelia when they're angry."

"Okay."

On the last Monday before they were scheduled to leave for India, Natalia passed away as her condition deteriorated considerably. Although Arnav had made arrangements for Amelia to be escorted safely to India by a friend in the event of her mother's death, but it was better that they were bringing her to India with them.

After Arnav decided to adopt Amelia and take care of her himself, he and Khushi discussed the details of bringing Amelia into their home. They decided to keep Amelia's parentage a secret from society, as growing up in a foreign society would be challenging enough for her. They didn't want to burden little Amelia even more. They would only reveal her parentage to close family members, such as the Rajputs and Anjali. Arnav did not want to lie to Anjali.

Her heart broke for the little girl as Khushi watched Arnav gently guide Amelia into their home in Delhi. Amelia's eyes were wide with a mix of fear and curiosity. The sight of Amelia's small, trembling hands clutching her frock stirred something deep within Khushi. The shadows of loss and uncertainty in Amelia's gaze mirrored the ones Khushi herself had once known all too well.

Amelia clung to Arnav's hand, her steps hesitant. Arnav's calm and reassuring voice broke through her reverie. "Khushi, why don't you show Amy her room?"

Khushi nodded, extending her hand to Amelia with a warm smile. "Come with me, Amy. Let's get you settled."

They reached the small, sunlit room Khushi had asked Gauri Ji to prepare for Amelia. "This is your room, Amy," Khushi said gently, leading the girl to the bed. "You can decorate it as you like. We'll go to the market tomorrow to buy some things, okay?"

She watched as the little girl looked around with a lost expression and nodded slowly. After a few moments, Khushi introduced Gauri Ji to Amelia. "This is Gauri Ji. She'll be with you all the time."

"Hello, Amy ji," Gauri Ji greeted Amelia awkwardly and in return, she received a forced smile from Amelia.

Together, they unpacked Amelia's few belongings. That evening, they were invited by the Rajputs for dinner. Arnav and Khushi decided to reveal the truth about Amelia that night. Khushi prayed for everything to go smoothly, but things did not turn out as hoped. As soon as Anjali learned about Amelia, she got up and locked herself in her room.

Arnav tried for several minutes to get her to open the door, but she did not respond. After much persuasion, she finally opened the door and went straight to her bed, sitting down with her back to Arnav. With a deep sigh, Arnav sat beside her.

After a long silence between the siblings, she said in a soft voice, tears evident in her tone, "How could you do that, Bhai? How could you betray Mamma like that?"

"It's not about betraying Mamma, Anjali. The girl had nothing to do with whatever happened between our parents."

"But why do you have to bring her here to remind us of that horrible incident for the rest of our lives?"

"She had no living relative except us. Imagine if Mamaji and Mahindar Chachu didn't help us when Mamma died. " Arnav said, looking down at his folded hands. "Hume sab kuch bhulake aage badhna chahiye."

"You can take care of her all you want, but please don't expect me to accept her anytime soon."

"You don't have to."

The siblings sat there silently, thinking and reflecting on their lives. "You know, I am so jealous of her right now," Anjali finally said.

"Why?"

"When I was young, I missed you so much. I always wished you didn't have to go to boarding school so I could have more time with you," Anjali said, lost in memory. "Now, she will have you with her all the time, time that I didn't have." She ended with a melancholy tone.

Arnav turned her around and hugged her shoulder sideways, and she rested her head on his shoulder. "You will always be my little sister, Anjali, even if I got a hundred others. I'm sorry I wasn't always there for you."

Meanwhile, Khushi took Amelia to her childhood room. Little Amelia was on the verge of crying.

"What happened, Amy?" Khushi asked, kneeling in front of Amelia as she sat on the bed. "Why are you crying?"

"I am causing problems, ain't I? Are you going to send me back?"

"Oh, sweetheart, no," Khushi tried to reassure the little girl. "We are a family now. We will take care of you always."

Khushi took a deep breath and started again. "Anjali Bhabhi didn't know about you earlier. That's why she's sad. Arnav is talking to her. Everything will be alright," she reassured Amelia, squeezing her small hand.

Then to cheer Amelia up, Khushi conjured up all of her excitement and said, "I have something for you." She opened her almirah and retrieved an old rag doll, a cherished toy her mother had made for her before she died. She lovingly caressed her childhood favourite toy. She gently handed it to Amelia, hoping the cherished toy would bring some comfort and joy to the little girl.

"This was mine when I was little," Khushi said, pointing to the rag doll. "My mother made it for me. She died when I was eight." Amelia looked at Khushi with surprise. Khushi offered her a small smile and continued, "When I got scared or felt alone, I would hug this doll, and everything felt better. I want you to have it." Little Amelia clutched the doll with her tiny fingers, hugging it tightly to her chest. She began to cry softly.

"Come with me," Khushi said softly, leading Amelia to the window. "My aunt used to say that when someone dies, they become a star....See that big, twinkling star? That's my mother, and the next one beside her is my father.... They always watch over us from above." Amelia's little face searched the sky, trying to find her own mother among the stars.

"Arnav lost his parents when he was about your age as well," Khushi added, still looking up at the sky. "I know you miss your mother very much. But, Amy, I want you to know that you're not alone. We're here for you, and we understand what you're going through." Khushi whispered, clutching Amelia's hand tightly.

Feeling a presence behind her, Khushi turned to find Arnav standing in the doorway, leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed with a soft expression on his face. Khushi extended her hand, inviting him to join them. He walked over and wrapped his arms around both of them from behind and the three of them watched the stars together.

As the days went on, Amelia slowly adapted to her new life. Each night, they enjoyed quiet dinners together. Khushi watched Arnav interact with Amelia, his patience and kindness evident in every gesture. In these moments of quiet connection, she realized how much they had grown and how far they had come from their painful pasts. It reminded her of her own childhood, when Arnav was her saviour, her only confidant. She came to understand that she didn't mind sharing him with Amelia at all. But seeing Arnav with Amelia ignited a new yearning in her-to see him with little versions of themselves.

Arnav's work schedule after returning home was intense. Being new to the field, he had to invest a significant amount of time and attention into his job. His expertise and reputation grew gradually with each successful case, but he was propelled into popularity as Delhi's best emerging criminal lawyer when he bagged the Singhania double murder case and won it.

Meanwhile, Khushi focused on establishing her charitable foundation, "Little Happiness," for orphaned children. She envisioned expanding it into an orphanage and school for underprivileged children, but securing resources proved challenging. Though NK and La joined as benefactors, Khushi struggled with the foundation. In addition, Khushi and Arnav began working on their new haveli. Khushi was jotting down ideas and designs, outlining everything she wanted in their home. They were actively searching for suitable land, and once they found it, they planned to start building their new home.

One day while Arnav was at the office, a lawyer named Mr. Arjun Mittal arrived with some property papers. He informed Arnav that his only uncle and his two sons had died of tuberculosis, and according to the law, the haveli had been transferred to him. Arnav was taken aback by this unexpected turn of events.

"What do you want to do now?" Khushi asked Arnav as she lay in his arms with her head resting on his chest.

"I don't know. The haveli doesn't hold much importance to me," Arnav said, lost in thought. After a moment, he added, "Khushi, how about you use the haveli for the foundation? It has seen many horrible things, and maybe these children could bring some good fortune to it." With this idea, Khushi found a new direction for expanding the foundation, allowing her to achieve her vision.

Everything was going smoothly, with each piece falling into place, until Arnav was appointed as the public prosecutor for "The Crown vs. Mohan Rajjani and 8 Others: The Tiwari Family Attack" case. Arnav initially thought little of it, viewing it merely as a high-profile case. However, as he began investigating and studying the case, all the past dirt started coming to light.

Mohan Rajjani was the accountant-slash-manager of Delhi's renowned businessman, Shyam Manohar Lala. His association with Mr. Lala complicated the case even more. The Police had been aggressively pursuing the notorious Delhi Thuggee group, which was responsible for a series of dacoity attacks in the area. As a result, Mohan Rajjani and 8 others were caught red-handed during an attack on the Tiwari household. The attack led to the deaths of 25 people, including the household staff and also included the brutal r*pe and murder of a ten-year-old girl.

By far, their modus operandi involved killing their victims through suffocation, typically using long fabric, most likely the 'gamchas' that were confiscated from each member of the group. This group remained pretty tight-lipped despite multiple tortures and interrogations by the police, very unusual for a regular dacoit gang.

It's a pretty much open-and-shut case, but the problem was with Mr. Rajjani. According to Mr. Rajjani and Mr. Lala, Mr. Pankaj Tiwari, the head of the Tiwari family, had sold Mr. Lala some of his lands and asked Mr. Rajjani to come to his house to retrieve the property papers on Mr. Lala's behalf. The same property papers that had been confiscated from the crime scene. According to Mr. Rajjani, that's why he was there and just happened to be present when the attack occurred.

"Sir, do you think Mr. Rajjani is innocent?" Rakhesh Roy, Arnav's assistant, asked him curiously.

"Umm, 98% no," Arnav replied. Then, after a pause, he added, "Why is he still alive when 25 others are dead? The remaining 2% scenario is that he's either extremely lucky or extremely persuasive." Arnav shut the file. He needed to interrogate the accused as early as possible, but before that, he needed to gather more information.

"Mr. Roy, please fetch all the files of dacoit attack cases from the last 10-12 years in Delhi," Arnav said, addressing his assistant.

"Sir, I have made notes. There are more than 15 cases. Should I fetch all of them?"

"Hmm, no, narrow it down to the cases where r*pe was involved."

When Mr. Roy returned with the files, there were only five cases he had come up with. He, alongside his assistant, began to study the cases. All of these cases involved the r*ping of a girl child ranging from 8-10 years old and then killing by suffocation. Among all the dacoity events that occurred in that area, these were also the only cases where the entire family was completely wiped out. There was a distinct pattern in the way this group operated.

"Why did they only r*pe the child instead of any adult female in the household?" Mr.Roy couldn't help but ask aloud.

"We are dealing with a very mentally sick individual with an equally sick preference," Arnav remarked in response to Mr. Roy.

Arnav wasn't quite satisfied with the development they made so far. They didn't have any solid proof, only speculations and theories. He reached for the last file, but the name on it made him stop in his tracks.

The Gupta Family Dacoity and Murder Investigation

Arnav never knew the intricate details of Khushi's parents' murder, as he was not in Delhi at that time. He only knew that the dacoit had killed her parents. As he opened the file, his hand trembled slightly, as he had a suspicion of what he might see written inside.

His whole body went numb as he saw the bloody details of the murder while reading Madumati ji's statement from 12 years ago. He snapped the file closed, his entire body trembling with rage. Hastily, he left his office, instructing his assistant to keep making notes.

Arnav only intended to take a short stroll. An incident from that morning kept replaying in his mind like a tape recorder. At the breakfast table, after the meal, Gauri had served him tea but instead of leaving, she lagged behind, clutching the tray tightly in her hands as if to say something.

"Yes, Gauri?"

"Kya aap Rajjani ji ke khilaf lad rahe hain, bhaiya?" Arnav was taken aback by her question and only nodded.

"Bohot bure admi hain, bhaiya. Aap unko zaroor saza dilwayiega," Gauri said before leaving without saying anything else.

His short stroll became long enough to lead him to the gate of the former Raizada Haveli, now marked by a signboard that read "Little Happiness Foundation."

He watched her from the corridor of her office, sitting at her desk, talking animatedly on the telephone with one of her associates. She always radiated light. It was hard to imagine the darkness of horror she had endured.

And just as she always seemed to know when he was near, her eyes met his instantly, and her whole face lit up. She stood up, coming around her desk. "What a pleasant surprise, Mr. Raizada! How can I help you?" she said smiling widely.

Arnav's hand immediately went around her waist as he pulled her closer, burying his face in her neck. His height made Khushi stand on her toes as she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. Khushi's two assistants, who were working on some accounts, left the room, red-faced, watching Mr. Raizada's actions.

"Arnav?"

"Hmm."

"Is everything alright?"

"Can't I hug my wife without any reason?"

"Yes, but here? In front of everyone? What will people say?"

"People will say that Mr. Raizada loves Mrs. Raizada very much." Khushi's face softened at his words as she entangled her fingers in his hair, massaging his scalp lightly. He hugged her untill he smelt like her and then taking a deep inhale of her scent, he set her gently on her feet.

"What happened?" Khushi asked, cupping his face.

"Nothing," he said, kissing her palm. "Just a case... I have to go back to the office." He nudged her nose with his. "Thanks for the hospitality, Mrs. Raizada." He kissed her forehead before leaving her office.

Then Arnav went straight to their house. He had some business he needed to take care of.

"HARIPRAKASH!"

"Yes, bhaiya?"

"I need two men who can guard Raizada Haveli as long as Khushi stays there, and then escort her back and forth. Can you arrange that?"

"Yes, bhaiya."

"How long will it take?"

"Umm..."

"Arrange them as soon as possible. It would be better if you could have them ready by tomorrow."

"Thik hai, bhaiya."

"I'm going to my study. Ask Gauri to fetch me a cup of tea."

Hariprakash hurried inside to convey Arnav's message to his wife.

A timid knock on the door alerted Arnav to Gauri's arrival. He wanted to talk to her, actually interrogate her; the tea was just an excuse.

"Your tea, bhaiya."

"Take a seat, Gauri. I need to talk to you."

"Yeess, bhaiya," she stammered, uncertain of what her employer wanted.

"What did you mean this morning when you said Mr. Rajjani was a bad person? Did he ever do something bad... to you?"

Gauri's breathing quickened, and she started to sweat. Her hands trembled as she fidgeted in the chair.

"Gauri, trust me. Nobody will know if you don't want them to."

"Hari doesn't know... I... I didn't tell him."

"He won't know."

"My mother used to work there, and I did too when I was little."

"How old were you?"

"I was eight. We lived in the servant quarters. Rajjani ji used to come there at night. He would clamp his hand over my mouth and carry me to his study. And there he... he..." Gauri started sobbing quietly. "My mother knew. She told me not to tell anyone or no one would marry me."

Arnav's lips pressed into a hard line, suppressing his anger.

"Were there any other girls besides you?"

"Yes, bhaiya. There were two other girls working with me. Nobody said anything."

"Okay, Gauri. You can go now.....one more thing..... you should talk to Hariprakash. No relationship can stand on the basis of a lie."

Gauri nodded solemnly and left Arnav to ponder over the recent developments in the case.

Stalemate at Busan global plastics treaty meet

Not surprisingly, the negotiations at the fifth – and what was supposed to be the final – session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to arrive at a legally binding global plastics treaty (INC-5) ended in a stalemate with stakeholders deciding to meet again for INC 5.2 in 2025 for further talks.

More than 3,300 delegates – including members representing more than 170 nations and observers from more than 440 organizations – met in Busan in South Korea from 25 November to 1 December in mainly closed-door negotiations. INC-5 follows INC-1 in Punta del Este in November 2022, INC-2 in Paris in June 2023, INC-3 in Nairobi in November 2023, and INC-4 in Ottawa in April 2024.

According to reports and updates Packaging South Asia has been receiving from various sources in Busan, a sticking point has been the demand from anti-pollution campaigners to cut virgin plastic polymer production, plastic production and to regulate hazardous chemicals – which oil-and gas-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have been vehemently opposing.

India clearly stated its inability to support any measures to regulate the production of primary plastic polymers, saying, “It has larger implications in respect of the right to development of member states.”

However, India admitted the hazards of plastic pollution and listed the measures it has taken to address the problem – a single-use plastic ban, an EPR regime on plastic packaging, a push for sustainable packaging, and reducing the use of virgin material. “Our approach to finalize the draft instrument should be based on mutual trust, cooperation, and the spirit of consensus,” India stated.

Campaigners say there was a lack of transparency in the negotiations, which they allege were held hostage by petro-states and like-minded lobbies. Sources closely observing the negotiations in Busan said the INC chair and member states were locked in closed-door talks while important stakeholders such as frontline communities, waste-pickers, and the Indigenous Peoples nations and groups were left out in the cold.

According to one report, more than 220 fossil fuel and chemical industry lobbyists registered for INC-5, the largest single group at the talks, which dwarfed every other delegation.

“The lack of transparency in these discussions sparked outrage, with many stakeholders questioning the legitimacy of decisions being made in closed-door settings. These decisions, after all, directly impact the lives of billions, particularly those in vulnerable communities. Yet, their voices were excluded in a process that seemed to prioritize political expediency over accountability,” writes Siddharth Ghanshyam Singh of Delhi’s Centre for Science and Environment in Down to Earth.

The text, seen by Packaging South Asia, defines terms such as plastic, plastic pollution, and plastic waste as well as refers to increasing levels of plastic pollution, including in the marine environment, and the serious environmental and human health problems it causes.

Civil society groups, however, say the chair’s text falls short of expectations on core obligations such as plastic production and object to referring to a reduction target as “aspirational.” They also say the chair’s text has stripped away systematic controls on toxic chemicals and chemicals of concern.

Rahyang Nusantara, deputy director, Dietplastik Indonesia & Convenor of Asia Reuse Consortium, says the current text missed the opportunity to advance real solutions. The prospective agreement must have a dedicated article with ambitious reuse targets financed by a new and dedicated financial mechanism to enable the establishment, operations and scaling up of non-plastic reuse and repair systems, Nusantara says. "This is key for a safe and toxic-free just transition away from plastics to truly end plastic pollution."

According to Joan Marc Simon, founder of Zero Waste Europe, the good news is that the campaigners have succeeded in shifting the conversation to addressing the entire plastics lifecycle. "From pointing fingers at the victims of plastic pollution 10 years ago, the world is now discussing a treaty that goes to the root causes of plastic pollution," Simon said in a Linkedin post, adding the slow progress is because of the 'delay and derail' tactics by oil and plastic producing countries.

Ana Rocha, Global Plastics policy director of the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA) – a worldwide alliance of more than 1,000 grassroots groups, non-governmental organizations, and individuals in over 90 countries – sums up the mood at the talks, “...The ambitious majority needs to do whatever it takes to get these negotiations back on track and reclaim the spirit of multilateralism. Now is not the time for timidity. It is time to fight for our collective survival.”

Explaining the delay in the negotiations, Inger Andersen, executive director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), says there is, “Persisting divergence in critical areas, and more time is needed for these areas to be addressed.”

While there is no denying that plastic and allied products are present in almost every sector be it packaging, pharma, FMCG, electrical and electronic equipment, or household products, and play an important role in our lives – the impact of plastic pollution on the environment, human health, and the socio-economic burden it causes, is too big to ignore. As such there is an urgent need for all stakeholders to find a way out of one of the biggest crises of our times. Else INC 5.2 might just lead to INC 5.3 and so on…

Rahul Mishra, Butterfly People: gli artigiani sono farfalle che ricamano il giardino della vita

“Vivere non è abbastanza" disse la farfalla, “uno deve avere il sole, la libertà e un piccolo fiore”: l’essenza del racconto prezioso che si dipana nella collezione Couture a/i 2020-21 Rahul Mishra la incastona qui, in queste parole che hanno la semplicità della realtà e la suggestione della fantasia. Sono, infatti, parole prese in prestito da una fiaba di Hans Christian Andersen, opera, come lo sono tutte le fiabe, di sincerità e poesia: ovvero un’alchimia narrativa creata con minuzia e dedizione generosa, per intessere nelle trame surreali composte di parole e immaginari gli insegnamenti universali che compongono la grande trama della vita vera.

L’antica fiaba in questione s’intitola “il farfallone”: narra le vicende di una farfalla che spreca la giovinezza sua e della primavera rigogliosa scartando la bellezza peculiare di ogni fiore in virtù della ricerca di una egoistica perfezione, finché giunto l’inverno che spegne la natura e con essa anche la gioventù, il farfallone si ritrova invecchiato e imprigionato nel compromesso di sopravvivere chiuso dentro una casa, appuntato con uno spillo dentro una teca, privato della bellezza essenziale della vita di cui ha scoperto e rimpianto ormai troppo tardi il sentimento.

Ecco, come fosse un gesto di ribaltamento al contempo romantico ed eroico, Rahul Mishra ha creato la collezione Couture a/i 2020  su quello che il farfallone della fiaba aveva dato per scontato: il valore vitale della bellezza della natura che va difesa e celebrata. Ma anche, e soprattutto il valore etico della condivisione umana che tale bellezza la crea ogni giorno nell’armonia del lavoro da cui sbocciano i capolavori couture, così come le farfalle nutrono ogni giorno la linfa vitale della natura.

La fiaba contemporanea narrata da Rahul Mishra s’intitola per l’appunto “Butterfly People”: ed è un gesto di celebrazione e ringraziamento alle “sue” farfalle, ovvero i Karigar, gli artigiani ricamatori e sarti indiani che con le loro mani abili e le conoscenze sapienti danno forma e vita alla meraviglia delle creazioni. Ed è anche un gesto di profonda consapevolezza che dalla dimensione personale abbraccia con gentilezza anche quella universale: la forza dell’ispirazione e del messaggio della collezione si rinsaldano con la violenza della pandemia che si è abbattuta in India infliggendo al suo popolo una crisi devastante, in cui migliaia di lavoratori migranti si sono ritrovati chiusi in casa, privati del lavoro, a lottare per sopravvivere. Rahul Mishra, infatti, che sin dall’inizio ha fondato l’essenza del  brand sull’etica della “migrazione inversa”, cioè valorizzando il lavoro artigiano dislocato nei villaggi indiani d’appartenenza anziché convogliare gli artigiani in massa nella capitale dove sono gli headquarter, non solo è riuscito a realizzare la collezione Couture a/i 2020 ma l’ha trasformata in un diario interiore, e al contempo in una grande metafora di umanità che in ogni ricamo narra e celebra l’importanza della partecipazione collettiva alla co-creazione della vita.

Un’allegoria dell’animo che si dipana sui tessuti diafani: nel cuore dell’immaginario c’è il giardino, quello che in natura riprende a fiorire rigoglioso grazie al lock-down che blocca l’intervento infestante dell’uomo, e quello metaforico della couture, in cui Rahul Mishra è il couturier-giardiniere che solo grazie alla sinergia con i suoi artigiani-farfalla può ricreare a distanza l’ecosistema dell’atelier e realizzare la meraviglia rigogliosa delle creazioni, facendo fronte al lock-down con un’azione collettiva in cui in brevissimo tempo son stati recuperati ricami e stoffe dall’archivio di collezioni precedenti, e in sei settimane son stati plasmati gli abiti, una paillette alla volta, una perlina alla volta.

Una storia ricamata che narra il ritorno alla vita: le gru e gli uccelli migratori che sono tornati a volare nei cieli di Delhi che nel frattempo si sono tinti di sfumature di un blu mai stato così intenso, la leggerezza poetica delle libellule che sono tornate a brillare sui fiumi, la magnificenza dei fiori di loto che celebrano la rinascita di una vita purificata, i fondali marini con le barriere coralline guarite dall’inquinamento e dallo sfruttamento.

Una storia che con i ricami sartoriali narra l’importanza vitale del lavoro che nobilita l’animo degli artigiani eccellenti che la allestiscono: artigiani che di solito esprimono la propria preziosa impressione sulle opere attraverso le espressioni delle labbra, ma che ora per via delle mascherine hanno trasferito la loro validazione nell’espressione degli occhi, sfumature di linguaggio che Rahul Mishra per primo ha imparato a decodificare, un cambiamento piccolo eppur epocale che ha riportato nelle mascherine in collezione, che sembrano sculture, ma che nella bellezza racchiudono il valore del monito sociale, e nessun intento commerciale.

La collezione Couture a/i 20-21 è stata presentata alla Paris Couture Week nella sua edizione digitale: tutte le suggestioni, e la bellezza della realizzazione delle creazioni ad opera delle Butterfly People sono narrate in un bellissimo fashion film realizzato in collaborazione con il fotografo e film-maker Hormis Anthony Tharkan.

"For every trial and sorrow that God makes us shoulder, He has a reason." ~Khaled Hosseini.

A year has surpassed, since my anxiety disorder.

But even now, as the sun sways on the clouds at evenings, I can feel the remnants of the disorder. The anxiety penetrating deep within the edges of my belly, and the waves of the new-found atheism.

My disbelief in my God, Madhav.

I went to a couple of people for my anxiety. From the pathologist, to the school teachers, to the school counsellor, to friends, and lastly, to my aunt.

"Do yoga. Go meditate, it's good for anxiety,"

"You worry alot, and you overthink stuff. Why do you want to add more?"

"Itna tension nahi leneka. Be happy."

Imagine you're walking in a tunnel with a herd of people walking like sheeps. You're screaming; full throated cries. Yet, nobody in the tunnel can hear you. Yes, it feels exactly like that.

When the anxiety started, at cold dusks,

I would be on the brink of death.

Thoughts would nuzzle around my mind, like a snake caging its prey with its tail.

My hands would tremble and my breathing would occur with labour.

The fear, the stress, would slowly creep down to the belly of my abdomen and I could do nothing.

I had foreseen a panic attack.

I saw it coming.

Gently, it walked towards me in March.

One flaming hot summer noon,

In a caged toilet, with warm wind gushing through the windows, the attack began.

I remember traces; I was banging on the locked toilet door, with palms turned into fists, and I could not speak.

Words wouldn't fumble out of my mouth and I would helplessly bang on the oak door.

When I was released out of the toilet, the attack raced with a deadly speed.

My cheekbones, my lips, and my mouth went entirely numb. I can remember the tears flowing out of my eyes, and being incapable in providing life to my numb mouth.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE ALL OF THIS? OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO COULD SUFFER, WHY ME? WHY ME?" I didn't realise I was screeching until my mother ran her fingers over the temple of my head, her eyes packed with tears.

I healed at the end of may, and the beginning of June.

After gazing at the monuments in Delhi, to the organized streets in Chandigarh, to the snow-capped mountains in Manali, to the flower gardens in Dalhousie, to the temple in Amritsar and lastly, with the soldiers at Wagha border.

With people, with places, and with memories,

I realised that life is now.

Life is in the present. Life is in the moment that I live, life is now that I'm writing.

Life is this.

My aunt, in east Maharashtra, was a messenger sent by Madhav, which we both believe in.

"You have taken the steering wheel of your life from Madhav. Return it back, divya. Let him drive. Let him take care of the speed and destination. You sit beside him and enjoy the journey. And trust him again. He won't let the brakes fail."

"It doesn't matter how many times you water a mango seed, for it will only ever bear fruits in summers."

"The only two things that you should focus on are; what you want in life and what will you do to achieve it."

She healed me.

At the end of the summer, on the brink of an upcoming monsoon,

In the garden, I met Madhav again.

In my dreams, I dream of peacock feathers and summers.

I dream that I am sitting beside the driver's seat and am gazing at the buildings that I grew up with.

"What happened?" Madhav asked.

I grinned; all teeth.

"Winters are parting," I answered.

"What do you see, Divya?" He asked standing beside me.

"I see the dawn of a rising sun."

"I will never let this sun set." He promised.

Now, as the fear of academic pressure looms over me, as new books, new publications await me,

I smile.

"Let me live now." i mutter.

I can see Madhav's eyes cramming with tears for the first time in days and a smile beaming at the dawn.

[ad_1] Ashwin took 765 wickets in international cricket. Memories stored in the caverns of the brain are akin to small capsules that burst forth at a given time. When an emotional-looking Ravichandran Ashwin bid adieu to international cricket on the final day of the Gabba Test, the mind couldn’t help but chisel out a long journey back to February 2009. And those evocative memories flashed mainly because of Ashwin sharing his thoughts on the teammates that he had played with in the press conference, especially one certain Ajinkya Rahane.  The memory is from a Duleep Trophy final between West Zone and South Zone. Ashwin, all of 22 and probably wearing sunglasses, was playing for South Zone, at his home ground in Chennai. Ashwin was up against his future India teammate, Rahane. The recollections are slightly vague to describe the battle between the duo in detail.  However, if the duo were to meet for a cup of coffee and end up in friendly banter about this particular game, then Rahane would have bragging rights. Right after the tea break, on day 1, with West Zone in a position of strength, Rahane repeatedly swept Ashwin. He also crossed the 100-run mark. On day 2, Ashwin had the last laugh as he trapped Rahane in front, with the latter playing on the back foot.  The memory train doesn’t stop there. The next station is again the Duleep Trophy. It was the 2009-10 season, with South Zone locking horns against Central Zone. In that game, Ashwin didn’t pick up any scalps in the first dig. Just when you started to ponder his spin-bowling abilities, the affable cricketer ripped through the cream of the opposition in the second essay by taking a six-for. He compiled a stylish fifty as well. It was probably a different version of Ashwin. He mostly used his fingers and arms to extract turn, but he had clearly showcased his potential in that match.  A year later, Ashwin went on to become a World Cup winner. But he was yet to make his Test debut. The proud moment for Ashwin arrived in Delhi, in 2011, with the all-rounder donning the Indian cap for the first time.  Darren Bravo of the West Indies turned out to be his maiden Test wicket. A couple of overs before Bravo’s dismissal, it seemed as if the pair were involved in a cat-and-mouse game. From round the wicket, Ashwin bowled a couple of deliveries with a flatter trajectory. Bravo duly defended them. Just before the lunch break, Ashwin bowled a ball that was shorter in length, with Bravo essaying the cut stroke. As the umpires signalled time for lunch, it felt as if Bravo had a slight upper hand.  When play resumed, Bravo’s world came crashing down with a thud. The first ball that Bravo faced from Ashwin was on the fuller side, with the left-hand batter nudging one through the on-side for a double. The very next ball, Ashwin rattled the timber.  Although the shot selection from Bravo was poor, Ashwin had outmanoeuvered him.  The off-spinner had observed that Bravo preferred to play the cut stroke. So, he offered a few deliveries that were fuller in length before landing the killer blow with an off-spinner from wide of the crease, bowled at about 85 kph. The wider angle meant that there was no room for the left-hand batter to essay the stroke.  By then, the brain had transported back to present times. Ashwin’s short press conference too was over. On expected lines, his eyes seemed a bit moist. After all, he was leaving behind a trail of representing his country for 14 years, 765 wickets and over 3000 runs in Test cricket. Ideally, he deserved a farewell with a guard of honour, but it wasn’t to be.  Somewhere in the corner of the memory bank, the last bits of Ashwin’s career would be stored. But those few words would be overshadowed by his cricketing achievements, and how he seemed to have his own imaginary laboratory where he carved out different ways to outsmart his opponents. The post Multitude of freeze frames as Ashwin announces retirement appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.

5 Key Benefits of Opting for an Electric Vehicle Lease in 2025

In 2025, Electric Vehicle Leasing is poised to revolutionize how we approach sustainable and cost-effective mobility. Companies like Alt Mobility and industry leaders in Vehicle Leasing Services offer unparalleled opportunities for individuals and businesses to adopt eco-friendly vehicles without the burden of ownership.

By choosing an Electric Vehicle for Lease, you're embracing modern technology and contributing to a greener future. Let's explore the top benefits of leasing an EV and why it's the more intelligent choice in 2025.

Cost-Effectiveness: Why Leasing Saves Money

Opting for an electric vehicle lease can significantly reduce the financial strain of purchasing a vehicle outright. Leasing comes with:

Lower Upfront Costs: Unlike buying, which requires a hefty down payment, leasing typically requires minimal initial investment.

Tax Benefits: Many governments, including India's, provide tax incentives for leasing electric vehicles, making them even more affordable.

Flexible Payment Options: Companies like Alt Mobility and Car Leasing Delhi offer customized plans to fit your budget and usage needs.

Leasing ensures you enjoy top-tier vehicles without stretching your finances.

Access to the Latest Technology

One significant advantage of leasing through leading Car Leasing Companies in India is access to the most advanced electric vehicles. Instead of committing to a single outdated model, leasing lets you:

Upgrade Regularly: Always drive the latest EV models with cutting-edge features.

Explore Luxury EV Options: You can experience premium vehicles without full ownership costs with leasing services like Alt Mobility.

Eco-Friendly Driving: Leasing lets you transition smoothly to newer, more sustainable vehicle models every few years.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

Maintenance is often a significant concern for vehicle owners. Leasing, however, alleviates these worries:

Inclusive Maintenance Packages: Most leasing plans from companies like Alt Mobility include maintenance costs, ensuring hassle-free driving.

Warranty Coverage: EV leases typically include comprehensive warranties from manufacturers, covering major repair expenses.

No Depreciation Woes: When you lease, the depreciation of the vehicle's value isn't your concern—it's the leasing company's.

This makes electric vehicle leasing particularly attractive for those seeking reliable, low-maintenance transportation options.

Flexibility in Usage

India's vehicle leasing services market, especially in metropolitan areas like Delhi, has evolved to cater to diverse needs. With Car Leasing Delhi plans, you can:

Choose Custom Lease Durations: You can lease an EV for as little as a few months or as long as several years.

Easily Transition Between Models: Enjoy the convenience of upgrading to better EVs as they become available.

Tailored Solutions for Businesses: Leasing companies offer customizable plans for fleet operations or individual use.

This flexibility ensures you're only locked into a long-term commitment if you want to be.

Lower Environmental Impact

Adopting electric vehicle leasing contributes directly to sustainability goals:

Reduced Emissions: By choosing EVs, you significantly reduce carbon emissions.

Supporting Green Mobility: Leasing an electric vehicle aligns with India's push towards cleaner transportation solutions.

Sustainability Without Ownership: Even if you don't own an EV, leasing allows you to contribute to the green movement.

Leasing with companies like Alt Mobility helps promote eco-conscious habits while meeting your mobility needs.

Why Electric Vehicle Leasing is Gaining Traction in India

India's vehicle leasing market is rapidly growing, with key players like Zecat and Orix setting benchmarks. Their success underscores the increasing demand for electric vehicles for lease options.

Sufi Delhi: Biking Through Mystical Shrines

Delhi is a city famous for its deeply spiritual core, magnificent architecture, and rich cultural past. The mystical tour of Delhi's Sufi shrines is a frequently missed but deep experience set among the city's imposing monuments and busy streets. Not only are these shrines, also known as dargahs, hallowed sites of worship, but they also radiate a profound sense of calmness, spirituality, and eternity. And what better way to discover these holy places than by bike, which enables you to take in the colorful streets of the city and the spiritual mood it exudes?

You may easily travel the older streets of Delhi with delhi bike rental  to visit temple after shrine and see the city's mystical side at your own speed. Bike freedom mixed with the spiritual essence of these places creates an experience that will never be forgot. Come with me on this amazing biking tour of some of the most important Sufi shrines in Delhi.

1. Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya Dargah: The Heart of Sufi Spirituality

The trip starts in the Dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, one of the most famous Sufi shrines in India. This shrine, which is devoted to the revered Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, whose teachings on love, humanity, and devotion still inspire millions of people today, is situated in the center of Delhi.

You'll be entering a place where time seems to slow down as you bike towards Nizamuddin. The sounds of qawwali music, the smell of incense, and the sight of devotees doing prayers fill the streets that lead to the dargah. Once you enter the religious space of Sufi spirituality, lock your bike outside the shrine. You will be thrust into a calm realm right away by the sacred tomb, the qawwalis' melodies, and the peaceful ambiance. If you choose bike rental in delhi your religious journey will be meomerable.

2. Dargah of Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki: The Forgotten Gem

Bike from Hazrat Nizamuddin to the Dargah of Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiyar Kaki, which is hidden away in the Mehrauli neighborhood's ancient area. This shrine, a lesser-known but very significant spiritual location, is devoted to one of the first Sufi saints in Delhi.

There's a distinct blend of old and new Delhi on the route to Mehrauli. After touring around the contemporary cityscape, you'll eventually reach this serene and much overlooked dargah. The dargah is more charming because it is calmer than Nizamuddin. You are welcome to sit in quiet contemplation and take in the place's spiritual aura. The rich history of the Sufi tradition in India is reflected in the building, which features elaborate carvings and tombstones. The shrine of Khwaja Bakhtiyar Kaki is a must-visit on your Sufi bike tour since it offers a peaceful contrast to the lively of Delhi.

3. Jamaat Khana Masjid: An Architectural Delight

Proceed on your spiritual bike ride and make your way to the historic Feroz Shah Kotla complex, where you will find Jamaat Khana Masjid. Although it is not as popular as the earlier dargahs, this mosque is an important component of Delhi's Sufi history. A visit to the Jamaat Khana Masjid will help you gain a better knowledge of the Sufi culture that was once prevalent in the nation's capital. It is linked to the spiritual and artistic achievements of the Delhi Sultanate.

Riding a bike through Delhi's narrow streets will bring you to this historic mosque, which is now a peaceful spot of worship. The mosque's domes and arches, which recall its illustrious past, make it an architectural marvel. During your bike ride, the surrounding environment is a calm haven, providing an excellent opportunity for reflection.

4. Chirag Delhi Dargah: The Flame of Spirituality

The Dargah of Hazrat Nasiruddin Mahmud, sometimes referred to as Chirag-e-Delhi, is the next place on the list. This shrine, which lies in the more calm area of Chirag Delhi, is the last resting place of one of Hazrat Nizamuddin's greatest students. The word "Chirag" means "light," and in fact, this shrine is a citywide light of divine direction.

A wonderful bike ride through some of the city's more residential regions, away from the busy business areas, is provided by the route to Chirag Delhi. When you get there, the peaceful ambiance of the shrine is ideal for reflection. The old trees that surround the shrine and the background talking of birds create a calming atmosphere for your stay, these all things happen when you choose bike rental in delhi.

5. Dargah Matka Pir: The Legend of the Clay Pot

Near Pragati Maidan, at the Dargah of Matka Pir, is where your Sufi riding tour of Delhi comes to an end. One of the unique traditions of this shrine dedicated to Baba Sheikh Abu Bakr Tusi is the offering of clay pots, called matkas, filled with sweets and water as offerings. Riding your bike to Matka Pir, which takes you past some of the city's most modern roadways, you can witness the contrast between Delhi's modern and historic aspects. The dargah is known for the story of Baba Sheikh giving away clay pots filled with water to those in need; devotees continue to send matkas in remembering of this event, which grants desires.

Matka Pir is a fitting way to end your spiritual journey, even if it is not as famous as other Sufi shrines. The lovely atmosphere of this shrine, along with the stories of its miracles and acts of compassion, make it a really unique place to visit.This spiritual journey can be reached quickly with the availability of Delhi bike rental choices.

Conclusion: The Mystical Ride of a Lifetime

Riding a bike through Delhi's Sufi shrines is an experience that goes beyond just physical travel and develops a spiritual bond with the city. Every location provides a different window into Delhi's mysterious history, from the pleasing evenings at Hazrat Nizamuddin's Dargah to the lonely calm of Khwaja Bakhtiyar Kaki's shrine.You may simply explore the city and see these undiscovered spiritual treasures at your own relaxation with the ease of a bike rental in Delhi. This bike trip is an ideal opportunity to see Delhi's rich Sufi history, whether you're drawn to the peaceful atmosphere of the shrines or the gloomy qawwalis. The next time you're in Delhi, think about forgoing the busy tourist attractions in favor of this meditative journey into the mysterious side of the city

For small businesses, especially startups, a virtual office space in Delhi can significantly reduce operational costs, allowing you to invest in growth, marketing, or talent acquisition instead of managing an expensive physical office.

3. Flexibility to Work from Anywhere

Work-Life Balance:

Remote Working: A virtual office allows you to work from anywhere, whether from home, a coffee shop, or while traveling, ensuring you can operate your business on your terms.

No Commuting Stress: Skip the long commute and enjoy the freedom of working from the comfort of your home or a preferred location, boosting your productivity and work-life balance.

By renting a virtual office in Delhi, you can extend your business’s reach without the need for a physical office in the city, allowing you to attract more customers and clients from the local and international market.

7. Environmental and Operational Efficiency

Sustainable Operations:

Lower Carbon Footprint: Operating without a physical office reduces your carbon footprint since there’s less need for energy consumption, travel, and resources.

Streamlined Operations: With fewer physical resources to manage, your business becomes more efficient. Mail handling, calls, and administrative tasks can be outsourced to professionals, allowing you to focus on core business activities.

A virtual office helps reduce waste, overhead costs, and operational complexity, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient way of doing business.

No, that “agriculture is becoming its largest share of climate pollution” is patently and demonstrably false. Nevertheless, the “tax on pollution has the aim to change behavior” to eat a more vegetarian diet with protein coming from insects. This descent into lunacy is dizzying.

Don’t get too smug. Elon Musk and Joe Rogan also support a carbon tax.

⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.

Denmark, known for its inventive restaurants and elegant design studios, is about to become known for something more basic: the world’s first belch and manure tax.

That’s because there are five times as many pigs and cows in Denmark as there are people. Nearly two-thirds of its land is taken up by farming. And agriculture is becoming its largest share of climate pollution, putting lawmakers under intense public pressure to reduce it.

So now, Denmark’s unlikely coalition government, made up of three parties from across the political spectrum, has agreed to tax the planet-heating methane emissions that all those animals expel through their poop, farts and burps. The measure, under negotiation for years, was passed by the Danish Parliament this month, making it the only such climate levy on livestock in the world.

“I think it’s good,” said Rasmus Angelsnes, 31, who was shopping for dinner in Copenhagen one recent afternoon. “It’s kind of a nudge to make different choices, maybe more climate-friendly choices.”

Never mind that his shopping cart contained thick slices of pork belly, which he planned to cook that rainy evening with potatoes and parsley. “Comfort food,” he said sheepishly.

The tax is part of a larger package designed to clean up the country’s agricultural pollution and eventually restore some farmland to its natural form, like peat lands, which are exceptionally good at locking away planet-heating gases underground but were drained decades ago to grow crops.

Denmark’s quest is also part of a reckoning for many agricultural powerhouses, including the United States, as they face calls to clean up pollution from farms, while balancing the needs of politically powerful agricultural lobbies.

Globally, the food system accounts for a fourth of greenhouses gases, and reducing those emissions requires making tough choices on diets, jobs and industries. At the same time, farmers are vulnerable to the hazards of climate change, with punishing heat, droughts and floods exacerbated by the burning of fossil fuels. That makes food a particularly vexing climate problem to take on.

No wonder that efforts to reduce agriculture’s climate emissions have faced stiff resistance, from Brussels to Delhi to Wellington, where the New Zealand government proposed a burp tax in 2022 only to have a later government scrap it.

Even Denmark’s measure went through intense political wrangling. An independent panel of experts had laid out several pathways, including a higher tax that the farm lobby vigorously opposed. When the government settled on a plan that would give farmers time and subsidies to bring the tax down, even to zero, environmental campaigners objected, calling it too lax.

“Food for people, not feed for animals,” read one protest placard in front of the government office, where last-minute negotiations were underway in October.

“I love minced meat,” heckled some teenagers as they walked past the protesters.

Marius' Chronicle 1

System: Vampire: Alone in the Darkness (blended with Vampire the Masquerade 5e, Beyond the Supernatural 1e, and various other supplements).

* DM Note: I had previously posted the first four episodes of Marius' chronicle here, but I noticed there were a lot of typos, since I was summarizing the game as I was playing it. I took them down for editing and now will be gradually reposting them as a prelude to continuing Marius' tragic story.

The story so far:

Marius was a German journalist on a night flight to India in May of 1973, when the plane struck high-tension wires on approach to Palam Airport and crashed. 48 of the 65 passengers on board were killed in the tragedy. However, one of the passengers was a vampire named Mohan, a 10th generation Baital (one of the lesser-known, unbound clans outside the Camarilla). Severely burned in the crash, the vampire embraced the nearest passenger, who happened to be Marius impaled on a piece of twisted metal and dying. For some reason Marius has never fully understood, the Baital took pity on him (if one prefers to think of it like that), fed Marius some of his own vitae, told him his name and that they would meet again, and then disappeared.

Later that night, having made a miraculous recovery, Marius escaped the hospital and wandered into the streets of New Delhi to begin his un-life. He barely survived but, over time, his dark gifts emerged and he was able to acquire enough resources, experience, and self-awareness to elude a group of vampire hunters and stow away on a freighter from Madras to the Port of Manilla, where he broke into a shipping container and entered torpor. Months later, the container was placed on a transport to Honolulu.

Marius awoke when a single drop of blood from a dockworker’s hand dripped into the rusted container and landed on his lips. He rose, drained the worker, then methodically drained several others that night, stacking the bodies in the container and locking it. The corpses were not discovered for several days. By that time, Marius had entered the city and taken up residence in the sub-basement of a power station.

Now he is learning to survive in this new terrain. He has stolen enough for weekly rent on a run-down studio apartment in Chinatown above a bicycle shop—an accomplishment that took several months of thievery, manipulation, and street fighting. And he’s paranoid that the group of hunters, who staked and beheaded Chandra, a Tremere he was close to back in Delhi, are on his trail.

The HPD have issued a press release that a serial killer is on the loose, but Marius isn’t worried about them. He isn’t even worried about the Camarilla. He’s worried about the Gaki tribune, Terrence Lassen, who runs the local legion out of a card room on Hotel Street (also in Chinatown). Marius isn’t certain, but he thinks Lassen might not be aware of him yet; though, it’s inevitable that they will cross paths, since the signs of a new vampire in town are obvious to those with eyes to see.

Marius’ current goals are to avoid entanglements with Lassen and his legion, avoid the Camarilla, and gather information on any local hunter groups tracking him (so he can take them out).

Is it Good to Buy the Ground Floor?

The ground floor is a popular choice for many homebuyers looking for convenience, accessibility, and even some outdoor space. But is buying a ground-floor property in a city like Delhi the right choice for everyone? In this article, we’ll dive into the advantages and factors to consider when investing in a ground-floor unit, particularly in builder floors in East Delhi. We’ll also introduce Makhijas Group, one of the leading builders in East Delhi, who specialize in creating luxury floors that cater to every floor preference, ensuring you find the home that suits your lifestyle.

The Key Benefits of Buying the Ground Floor

For those seeking easy access and a touch of outdoor living, the ground floor offers unique benefits, especially in a bustling city like Delhi.

1. Easy Accessibility

Ground-floor units offer the convenience of direct access without relying on elevators or stairs. This makes it an ideal choice for families with young children, elderly members, or individuals with mobility challenges. The ease of entering and exiting the building adds a level of comfort that many residents appreciate, especially in a city where frequent elevator maintenance or power outages can cause delays.

2. Private Outdoor Space

Many ground-floor builder floors in Delhi come with private gardens or patios, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy outdoor space without leaving your home. This feature is particularly valuable in urban areas where green spaces are limited. Having a garden or patio can add a sense of openness to your home, giving you the flexibility to create a small garden, outdoor seating area, or play zone for children.

3. Lower Energy Consumption

Due to natural insulation provided by the surrounding ground, ground floors tend to stay cooler during Delhi’s scorching summers. This can lead to reduced air conditioning costs, contributing to energy savings over time. Similarly, ground floors are generally warmer in winter, helping to keep your home comfortable year-round.

4. Easier Access for Deliveries and Groceries

Ground floors are incredibly convenient for receiving packages, carrying in groceries, or managing other daily tasks. This added convenience can make a significant difference in a busy urban lifestyle where time and effort are precious.

5. Pet-Friendly Living

For pet owners, the ground floor is a more practical choice, providing easy outdoor access and minimizing the hassle of taking pets up and down stairs or in elevators. A ground-floor garden or patio also serves as a perfect space for pets to play safely without leaving home.

Considerations When Buying the Ground Floor

While the ground floor offers many advantages, there are a few aspects to keep in mind to ensure it aligns with your lifestyle and expectations.

1. Security Concerns

Ground-floor units may be more vulnerable to break-ins compared to higher floors. To address this, many ground-floor builder floors in East Delhi include enhanced security measures such as sturdy door locks, window grills, and security alarms. Choosing reputable builders in East Delhi like Makhijas Group can provide additional peace of mind, as they integrate advanced security features to protect your home.

2. Noise Levels

Ground floors are often closer to street traffic, building entrances, and common areas, which may lead to higher noise levels. However, top-quality builders in Delhi like Makhijas Group implement soundproofing measures to help minimize noise disturbances. For those sensitive to noise, selecting a builder known for quality construction is crucial.

3. Limited Natural Light

Ground-floor units may receive less natural light, especially in areas with closely spaced buildings. However, with creative interior design and effective use of artificial lighting, this issue can be easily managed. Many local home builders in East Delhi offer design solutions that maximize light within the space.

4. Moisture and Ventilation

Ground floors can sometimes be more prone to moisture and ventilation issues. Trusted builders like Makhijas Group take these concerns seriously, ensuring proper waterproofing and ventilation in their ground-floor designs to maintain a comfortable living environment.

2. Components of a Successful Trade Setup

A solid trade setup involves a few key elements. Here’s what traders should focus on:

A. Identifying Market Conditions

Before placing any trade, it’s essential to analyze the current market trend. Is it bullish, bearish, or ranging? You can use technical indicators, price action, and market sentiment to gauge the environment.

B. Entry and Exit Points

Knowing when to enter a trade is just as important as knowing when to exit. You’ll need to:

Entry: Use chart patterns, support/resistance levels, and indicators like moving averages or RSI to time your entry.

Exit: Set clear profit targets and stop-loss levels to manage your risk.

C. Risk Management

No trade setup is complete without a sound risk management plan. Determine how much capital you’re willing to risk on each trade (usually 1–2% of your trading account) and use tools like stop-loss orders to protect yourself from significant losses.

D. Position Sizing

The size of your trade should be based on your risk tolerance. Understanding how to calculate the number of shares or contracts to buy based on your capital is crucial in maximizing profits without overexposing yourself to risk.
