I would say that those Indian numbers are probably not accurate because if you take the element of corruption in those budgets the actual deliverable percentage is probably lower.
In other news, Ba'it went into labour at 2AM. She woke me up for help. Difficult delivery lasting 4 hours and I had to help her bring the babies out, clear out the sac and assist her. They all look black but more dark brown black in the light. The mommy & kittens are doing well.

We can hardly call our species Intelligent. Just because we can do certain things in technology and throw primitive rockets into space doesn't make us so. Surely we're not alone and maybe aliens avoid us because we are idiotic, look what we've done to each other & the planet.
I'm at the cow and farmer restaurant, which is a vegetarian place in Farrer Park area. They specialise in millet meals of all kinds and millet snacks. I'm having a millets thali lunch.
Still pics of the 3 entangled bats. I took these pics when I took a few minutes break. I was cutting so slowly and sweat was running into my eyes. Made sure I didn't damage these poor critters. Long hard work!

Naturally! Guy didn't expect it either. 😄 the king was only being reactive and hissed, spread a small hood and stood up as a defensive posture. If it wanted, it could have easily struck him. Merely trying to tell the guy to leave it alone and if needs to relocate, don't do that!
This is my favourite family photo. I managed to click just in time a few minutes ago. Dad Seetoo on the left. Mom Kungoy on the right. Baby braveheart in the middle.
This little guy rested for a while and drank the lemon tea, posted video earlier. These 3 are lesser dog face fruit bats. They're very important to the ecosystem as pollinators and insects control among other functions. A privilege to save them, all in good health as they flew
I'm back at the farm my friends. I've had a hectic few days in Manila. Here are the pups resting in my living room at the farm in pampanga. That's pepper, pepper and potato and bawang (garlic) 😄
I haven't named her yet. She's been always with me, sleep with me and thinks I'm her dad. She's mine now in good care of my friends at the farm house. I'm getting her neutered soon. She's adopted me.
Some Still pics from inside the jet flying at 36000 feet. Dawn and the sun is making a spectacular appearance! Not my best shots but it was marvellous to gaze at.
I'm sorry to tweet sad news. Ba'it was taken ill again and sent to veterinarian for the last few days. I'm very sad to say that she has passed away due to prolonged illness. I won't see her when i return to the Philippines. My heart is very heavy today, so please bear with me.
Send your good wishes to Ba'it. She is not well. They took her to the vet and she has the runs and chest congestion at the same time. She's on medication since Friday.

This hole in the wall shopkeeper looks after all these cats and gets them medical aid and such. Poor person with a large and kind heart. I bought stuff from him that I didn't need. Just to support him and the cats.

You cannot cancel Yuri Gagarin just because of Poo tin's madness and war. Yuri is a space pioneer. Above politics. Well loved all over the world including the US where Yuri's night is celebrated every year at KSC NASA. Poo tin's genocidal war should not reflect on Russian people.
I tried to grow a chilli plant a few months ago, and it is growing spectacularly! This pic is only half the yield as I had harvested the other half yesterday. I've made an oil based chilli pickle with garlic in it that you can put into/on any dish. Spicy and yummy!
Full frontal shot of the juvenile pit viper. This amazing photo is from my friend ke han (khkohh on insta) so go to his page and look at these and other Singapore wildlife pics.

Is anyone interested in joining me for lunch? I cooked a nice mutter paneer just now! It has chopped onions, garlic, ginger, fresh tomatoes, puree, cooking cream and paneer!
India has become a laughing stock. Apparently you stick a chip made of cow dung into your cellphone and that will protect the user from radiation! This, in the 21st Century. It's leadership is stuck in some parallel dimension maybe. Singapore media is reporting this now.
I had taken some dal, sambar powder and assorted spices including a bag of tadka items. I cooked a mixed vegetables sambar for my hosts here in rural

at the outside kitchen. Unique experience for me! Malungay/moringa leaves also visible on top.
Jackie is no better but he's not in pain. He responds to only me and wants me to pet him but refused food 2nd day in a row. Drank a little water but content to just relax. We won't see him much longer but who knows...
This is one of my favorite parts of the on-going press conference now with

— despite the challenges of a global pandemic:
Good morning from the tropics. Last night I posted a shorter version of this dance couple. I'm not sure if this is bachata or salsa..enjoy the full 1 min 30 seconds of it.
Rainy day here. I have a lot of work from home, which means I get guests for lunch and have to cook something they like. This is low GI rice with karnataka style huli, which is a coconut based sambar curry with dal, carrots, potato, beans, peanuts, tamarind water and spices.
Epic battle! NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH. There is blood and gore. I have never seen this happen in front of my eyes before. Only on TV.
#DragonBattle
giant monitor lizards battle. TEASER TRAILER.
This is called a char poi kway teow which is Chinese flat noodles. Usually comes with seafood but my friend who owns this stall in Chinatown, makes this all vegetarian for me.
My book club friends who I will be seeing again online later today for the bi-monthly session, baked me an cake and came all the way to present it to me. So kind of them

Eating pomelo at another friend's farm. I had posted a video from here, last December.

it's from the tree in these pics. I'm sitting in its shade and eating its fruits. Fresh air and quiet farm life. Bliss.
Good night, folks. I have an 8 hour road trip tomorrow starting very early in the morning. Stage 1 of the road trip was today as you've seen on my tweets. Pic of me taken by a friend, at the place where we ate dinner overlooking the rather quiet volcano.

Good evening from the Philippines. From my cat family to yours, have a nice day/evening wherever you are! R-L dad seetoo, baby braveheart and mom kungoy.
In an interesting twist, this Little Mynah has been watching me feed the cats. So, it decided to follow me, part hopping and part flying right next to me. It wants me to feed the same cat food to it! So...here we go!
Lucy looks a little bewildered. She says this planet is orbiting the Sun for billions of years and hoomans started counting those from the past 2021 years and celebrate every orbit. Why? Since we are counting anyway, she wishes all hoomans a very happy new year!

Easier way is to just disqualify the person. They get voted for the party/ideology they represent. This is like an agreement between the candidate and the voter. Any breach of this agreement should mean automatic disqualification. They need to contest polls again on new ticket.
I'm going offline for a while. Very tiring work and lot of it all at the same time. I spend a lot of time on twitter. I'll try and take a break from this. Thanks all 🙏🏼
Came back to Manila late and stepped out to find food. Found this place called Elijah Hummus. Turkish. Why not, for a change?

@pampereira9
this evening at Chinatown. She was so happy to meet Lucy also here. It was too short a visit but it was a lovely evening indeed. Have a good flight back Capt!
I forgot to post about lunch with my colleague today. There's tandoori roti, biryani rice, veg kurma, tauhu goreng, mock mutton curry and lemonade. Gayatri restaurant on Race Course Rd. Little India.
In March of this year Prime Minister Modi said India should use the Ukraine Russia war to export more high quality wheat. Separately Indian government said they were expecting bumper crops as the weather was likely to be in favor. We know what happened to that. And now this.
