In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we explore one of India's most unique and little-known primates — the slender loris, a small nocturnal primate that thrives in the tree canopies of southern India and Sri Lanka. Joining us is Professor Kaberi Kar Gupta, visiting scientist at the Indian Institute of Science and founder of the Urban Slender Loris Project, who shares her decades-long journey from studying forest ecology to pioneering urban ecology and urban wildlife conservation in Bengaluru.Professor Gupta recounts her early fascination with nature, from growing up in the green outskirts of Kolkata to working in the forests of Tamil Nadu. Her research on primate ecology began in the forests of Kalakad–Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, where she studied slender loris behavior, home ranges, and mating systems, uncovering intricate details about their ecology and survival strategies. Over time, she turned her attention to how these primates adapt to city environments — leading to the creation of the Urban Slender Loris Project in Bengaluru, a groundbreaking citizen science initiative that brings together researchers, local communities, and volunteers to monitor and conserve these elusive nocturnal primates.The discussion dives into the urgent need for urban biodiversity conservation and biodiversity management in rapidly growing cities. Professor Gupta highlights how urban green spaces — once thriving with life — are vanishing under expanding infrastructure. Through the project, community members were trained to conduct night surveys, map loris habitats, and identify key trees and corridors that sustain these animals. Their collective effort revealed both the resilience of urban biodiversity and the fragility of these ecosystems under urban expansion.We also discuss the results of a recent study on public attitudes towards slender lorises in Bengaluru. The findings show that while urban residents often appreciate local wildlife, awareness about species like the slender loris remains limited. Cultural myths, once linked to black magic, are fading, but habitat destruction and lack of awareness continue to pose serious threats.Professor Gupta's reflections go beyond the science — touching on her personal experiences in wild Karnataka, encounters with wildlife traders during early conservation work, and moments of awe witnessing tigers and lorises in their natural habitats. Her message is clear: connecting people to nature within cities is essential for the future of conservation. As more people become urban dwellers, initiatives like the Urban Slender Loris Project show how science, community participation, and empathy for wildlife can coexist in even the most crowded environments.Whether you're a student of urban biology, a wildlife enthusiast, or a conservationist, this conversation offers a profound look into how small nocturnal primates like the slender loris can inspire a new model of biodiversity preservation in the heart of India's tech capital.Tune in to discover the story of the slender loris — the hidden primate of Bengaluru — and how local communities are shaping the future of urban wildlife conservation.About the HostAnish Banerjee is an early career ecologist, with a MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London.

This week, Monika unpacks SEBI's recent caution to the public against dealing in digital gold. The regulator clarified that while SEBI oversees gold ETFs, commodity derivatives, and Electronic Gold Receipts — all backed by strict rules and physical verification — digital gold remains completely outside its supervision. That means investors have no legal protection if something goes wrong. Many platforms may not actually hold the gold they sell, exposing buyers to serious counterparty and fraud risks. Even though major brands like PayTM, Tanishq, and MMTC offer digital gold, these products are still unregulated.Monika explains how SEBI's framework ensures transparency and security for gold ETFs — from mandatory physical holdings and custodian oversight to regular audits and purity checks. In contrast, digital gold lacks such verification, leaving investors unsure if the gold even exists. While the ease of purchase and small-ticket investments make digital gold tempting, SEBI's warning is a timely reminder that convenience can come at a cost. Gold can still have a place in portfolios, but allocations should stay within 5–10%, and SEBI-regulated gold ETFs are the safer route for long-term investors.In listener questions, Anonymous seeks clarity on how to transition gradually from real estate and ESOPs into equity funds over the next decade, Vijay from Tamil Nadu asks how to begin crypto investing safely, and Padma, a retired investor, wants help streamlining her mutual fund portfolio and understanding the role of index and debt funds.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Why You Should Not Buy Digital Gold(00:00 – 00:00) Planning a 9-Year Transition from Real Estate to Equity(00:00 – 00:00) Should You Invest in Cryptocurrency?(00:00 – 00:00) Building a Safe and Structured Investment Journey(00:00 – 00:00) How to Simplify Your Mutual Fund Choices in Retirementhttps://www.sebi.gov.in/media-and-notifications/press-releases/nov-2025/caution-to-public-regarding-dealing-in-digital-gold-_97676.htmlIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠

Texto “Ulladu Narpadu”, de Ramana Maharshi.Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950), nascido Venkataraman Iyer, foi um dos mais venerados sábios da Índia. Nascido em Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, viveu uma infância comum até, aos 16 anos, experimentar uma profunda transformação espiritual ao confrontar a ideia de morte. Essa experiência o levou à realização do verdadeiro Eu e à renúncia de sua vida mundana. A partir disso ele se estabeleceu na montanha sagrada de Arunachala, onde passou o resto de sua vida em meditação e transmitindo ensinamentos, atraindo discípulos de todo o mundo.Ramana ensinava a prática do “Atma-Vichara”, “Self-enquiry” (auto-inquirição ou auto-investigação), baseada na pergunta “Quem sou eu?”. Ātmā Vicāra (विचार), é um termo sânscrito que significa o processo de investigar quem realmente somos, a investigação sobre a Natureza do Ser. Esta técnica é a que melhor exemplifica o Jñāna Yoga, o Yoga do conhecimento sobre Si Mesmo.Ramana destacava que a libertação espiritual surge da dissolução do ego e da realização da unidade com a Consciência universal. Seus ensinamentos enfatizavam a simplicidade, o silêncio e a experiência direta como caminhos para a Autorrealização, rejeitando práticas ritualísticas e dogmas religiosos.Seus ensinamentos transcendem fronteiras culturais e religiosas, inspirando buscadores espirituais em todo o mundo. Seu Ashram de Arunachala continua sendo um centro de aprendizado e prática, e suas ideias sobre introspecção e paz interior permanecem profundamente influentes.

The first phase of the process would implemented in more than 10 states, including in poll-bound Assam, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala and West Bengal. This exercise comes in the wake of the controversial SIR in Bihar, which was done hurriedly. As has been widely reported, the final voter list in Bihar is riddled with inaccuracies – including excess deletions, gibberish names, and fake addresses. Now, with a pan-India SIR on the anvil, questions abound: Why is it necessary? Will the process incorporate the changes suggested by the Supreme Court in the Bihar context - especially with regard to the use of Aadhaar, publishing voter lists in searchable format, and checking of migrant names in other states before deleting their names?

My Story   Talk 29  Travels in Asia and Africa My first trip outside of Europe or America was in 1986 when I visited Pakistan, India, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. It came about in a quite remarkable way. One Sunday in 1985 I was reading an article about India in a Christian magazine when quite unexpectedly I had the distinct impression that the Lord was going to send me to India. I told Eileen about it and we agreed to wait and see what would happen. The very next Wednesday evening we had a meeting in the College chapel where the guest speaker was Ray Belfield who had come to challenge the students about overseas missions. After the meeting Ray came round to our house for a hot drink before making the return journey back to Wigan. As we prayed together just before he left, I found myself praying that the Lord would show us how best we as a College could support the work of missions, and the moment I had finished Ray said to me,             I'll tell you what you can do. You can go to India. I had told him nothing about what had happened the previous Sunday, so this seemed to be a real confirmation of what I felt the Lord had been telling me. But how would I raise the airfare? Shortly after that, Bob Stevenson was the speaker at a similar Wednesday evening meeting, and at the end of his message he totally surprised me. He said to the students, Now the Principal doesn't know I'm going to do this. In fact, I haven't asked anyone's permission to do so, but I want us to take an offering now. It's for your Principal's airfare to India. And the airfare was covered. The following January I went to India. In fact it was not just India. That month I visited Pakistan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia as well. I travelled first to Pakistan and preached for a weekend in Karachi. This was my first experience outside of Europe or America and the culture shock was massive. And it wasn't helped by a severe attack of sickness and diarrhoea! I was so grateful that my friend Dr John Tonge had told me to pack some Imodium tablets! As a result, I was able to preach but sadly unable to eat any of the wonderful food they offered me. On the Monday I flew on to India with an empty stomach but soon recovered very quickly. I landed in Bombay (now Mumbai) and flew on to Coimbatore in the province of Tamil Nadu where AoG missionaries, Lawrence and Margaret Livesey, had planted churches decades earlier. It was truly wonderful to see the results of their sacrificial labours. I spent a little over two weeks there, preaching, teaching and visiting orphanages and schools run by the churches. David Prakasam and Lawrence Arumanayagam had both been students at Mattersey and were now training others to plant churches. One of the greatest thrills of my trip was to visit some of the many churches that had been planted by the students of our students. I saw very clearly that what we were doing at Mattersey was following Paul's instruction to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2. The rest of my trip was spent in short visits to Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. I was based with Cyril and Barbara Cross, British AoG missionaries in Singapore, who looked after me very well. Before I flew back home I had the privilege of preaching in Bible College chapel in Kuala Lumpur, a large AoG church in Singapore, and a very lively house group led by an eighteen-year-old girl in Medan, Indonesia. If I had ever had doubts about women's ministry in the past, that girl's anointed leadership gift was more than enough to change my mind. My final trip to countries beyond Europe while we were still at Mattersey was to Burkina Faso in the year 2000. Several of our students at Mattersey had come from that part of Africa, formerly known as the Upper Volta. Like our students from India, most of them came on full scholarships which we provided for them. The first of these was Guetawende Roamba, the student I mentioned earlier who had recognised that a woman speaking in tongues in a College rally in Manchester was speaking in Moré, his own native language. Another, who came a few years later, was Philippe Ouédraogo who when he first arrived at Mattersey couldn't speak a word of English. I remember picking him up at Retford Station and speaking to him in French, giving him his first English lesson on the ten-minute journey back to College. Passing a field of cows, I pointed at them and said, les vaches, en anglais, COWS. Not that that piece of information would be much help for his studies at Mattersey! But it was a start, and Philippe became remarkably proficient in English in just a few weeks. It was through him that we received the invitation to visit Burkina Faso in November 2000. Eileen was very much looking forward to coming with me but unfortunately was prevented from doing so at the last minute. Eileen had retired in 1999 after serving as College Matron for 21 years and was at home in the utility room doing some decorating. As she was putting up a frieze she climbed onto the washing machine to help her reach the top of the wall and losing her balance fell off it backwards onto the hard floor, breaking the top of her arm close to the shoulder. On hearing the news I was home within minutes – our house was in the College grounds – and rushed her to A&E who confirmed the fracture and strongly advised her not to make the trip to Africa. And when I arrived there a few days later and experienced travelling on their bumpy roads, it was clear that we had made the right decision. The leaders in Ouagadougou were so impressed that she had let me come that they sent me home a few days earlier than planned. The highlights of the trip were preaching several times in French at the National Pastors' Conference, having a meal with, I think, seven of our former students, and being taken to visit some of the villages in the surrounding area. I shall never forget a lady giving me one of her chickens as a thank you for visiting her humble home and being taken by Philippe to a pool inhabited by several alligators. One of them, about eight to ten feet in length, was basking in the sun on the edge of the bank. Although they were wild animals Phillippe persuaded me to approach it from behind while he threw it a chicken.  He then encouraged me to pick up its tail and I, not liking to appear not to trust him, cautiously did as he said. And there was no reaction from the animal! So I was able to tell the grandchildren what I had done and show them a photo to prove it, warning them never to anything so foolish! But actually it wasn't quite as foolish as it sounds. The alligators were indeed wild, but as Philippe explained to me, the people who were not yet Christians worshipped these animals and regularly brought them food. As a result they had become relatively tame. There was, of course, an element of danger – you never know what a wild animal might do – but they were, oxymoronically, tame wild animals! I am so grateful to the Lord not only for the privilege of visiting so many different countries and cultures, and for so many opportunities to be a blessing to so many people, but also for the fun I've had in doing so. And this was to continue for years after my retirement from Mattersey. But before that could happen a very important decision had to be made. Who was to be my successor? Next time I'll tell you how that decision was made.

For Jaisurya, it became the beginning of a transformative journey into the world of personal training. In this captivating conversation, Jai reveals how his path shifted from representing Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry in cricket to becoming a certified personal trainer helping others transform their lives.The turning point came after completing his MBA in data analytics when Jai ventured into sports event management, working with prestigious tournaments like IPL. During this time, he experienced a moment he describes as "speechless" – witnessing MS Dhoni enter Chennai's stadium to thunderous applause that literally shook the building. Despite these exciting experiences, something was missing until a friend introduced him to Show Up Fitness CPT.Jai offers a candid look at the fitness industry in Chennai, where many trainers lack proper education and focus solely on workouts without understanding fundamental anatomy or movement patterns. He contrasts this with his experience at Show Up Fitness, which created a supportive community where continuous learning is valued. "This industry is all about patience, constant learning, and consistency," Jai emphasizes, noting how these qualities transfer perfectly from his sports background.Perhaps most touching is Jai's story about his parents' journey from skepticism about his career choice to pride when they witnessed firsthand the impact he was making on clients' lives.

When we first read Suchitra Vijayan's reporting on the media in India we were shocked to learn that much of the press in the world's largest democracy, had fallen in line with Narendra Modi's authoritarian agenda. Now it feels like a portent of what could happen in the United States. In India today, 75% or more of news organizations are now owned by 4 or 5 large corporations, all led by allies of Modi. In contrast, journalists who have dared criticize the government have been harassed, detained, imprisoned, and even murdered. Suchitra Vijayan is a journalist and attorney. She is the author of two books: How Long Can the Moon be Caged? Voices of Indian Poltiical Prisoners, co-authored with Francesca Recchia, and Midnight's Borders. Vijayan is also the founder and executive director of the Polis Project, a journalism and research organization focused on authoritarianism and state oppression. She was born and raised in Madras, also known as Chennai, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, and lives in New York City. Read Vijayan's reporting in The Nation about the government's targeting of Kashmir's free press.Follow Suchitra Vijayan on Substack.This episode was originally published in November 2023.  Music in this episode by Siddhartha Corsus and Blue Dot Sessions ABOUT THE SHOW The Making Peace Visible podcast is hosted by Jamil Simon and produced by Andrea Muraskin.

This episode deconstructs the rise of Dravidian politics in Tamil Nadu and through it, the ascent of the Karunanidhi dynasty, which has monopolised the DMK. However, like all dynasties, the DMK too, is headed for a gradual but certain extinction. Chief Minister Stalin's repeated outbursts of invective against Sanatana Dharma shows desperation because as an ideology, Dravidianism stopped relevant more than two decades ago. The DMK's hold over political power after Karunanidhi's death is already shaky. With record levels of corruption and criminality, the party faces an impending humiliation in next year's elections. And once it's out of power, the Karunanidhi dynasty's days are truly numbered.

Starring Janhvi Kapoor as the titular Sundari and Sidharth Malhotra as the clueless “investor” Param, the movie combines poor writing, botched cultural representation, and inexplicable creative choices — like coconut tree confessions and Tamil Nadu boats showing up in Kerala. Amrita unpacks why the portrayal of Malayalis is not just lazy but offensively bad, pointing out how none of the cast seemed to have received even basic language coaching. Asim reads out savage Letterboxd reviews and admits the movie makes nobody look good — Punjabis, Malayalis, or otherwise. Yet both hosts find surprising moments of charm: Janhvi's sweetness in songs, her occasional Sridevi-esque mannerisms, and Sidharth's hotness (if not much else). They also debate the bigger picture: Bollywood's ongoing struggle with authenticity, the lack of genuine rom-coms, and why films like this end up being more “streaming filler” than theatrical event. Still, in a world of War 2 and endless action clones, Asim controversially admits he'd rather watch Param Sundari again than some of Bollywood's recent blockbusters. Funny, sharp, and slightly irreverent, this is Khandaan at its best — spending more time thinking about a film than its creators ever did. #ParamSundari #JanhviKapoor #SidharthMalhotra #BollywoodPodcast #BollywoodReview #BollywoodFans #KhandaanPodcast #HindiCinema #IndianCinema #BollywoodHotTake #BollywoodDiscussion Follow us on our socials:   / khandaanpodcast    / khandaanpodcast    / khandaanpodcast   Visit our merch store at REDBUBBLE: https://www.redbubble.com/people/khan...

In this episode, we trace the phenomenon that led to the emergence of such perverted movies in Tamil Nadu and the overall moral degeneration of Tamil cinema. Bad Girl is especially disturbing because its makers specifically target a school-going Brahmin girl depicting her as a victim of an alleged Brahmin patriarchy, which forbids her from having multiple sex partners, smoking and alcoholism.

El tren se detuvo a pocos metros. Posteriormente, 2,000 pasajeros fueron evacuados y su valentía fue reconocida nacionalmente. Este acto heroico ilustra el corazón de intercesión que colocarse entre el peligro y quienes aún no ven el riesgo. Así hizo Moisés al interceder por el pueblo. Así oró Esteban mientras era apedreado, y así actuó el Señor Jesús, poniéndose entre nuestra culpa y el juicio. Interceder no es solo orar, es comprometerse, exponerse y clamar cuando otros no pueden. Es estar dispuesto a detener el “tren” del dolor, la destrucción o el pecado por amor a otro. Entonces ¿Estás intercediendo por alguien hoy? ¿Te estás poniendo en la brecha? La Biblia dice en Ezequiel 22:30: “Y busqué entre ellos hombre que hiciese vallado y que se pusiese en la brecha delante de mí... y no lo hallé” (RV1960).

These profound practice teachings on freeing the mind from being ruled by thought, as taught by Sri Ramana, were taken from various sources/texts.Ramana Maharshi ( 1879 -1950) was an Indian sage and jivanmukta (liberated being). He was born Venkataraman Iyer, but is mostly known by the name Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi. He was born in Tiruchuli, Tamil Nadu, India. In 1895, an attraction to the sacred hill Arunachala and the 63 Nayanmars was aroused in him and in 1896, at the age of 16, he had a "death-experience" where he became aware of a "current" or "force" which he recognized as his true "I" or "Self".
