#Dionysos is returning from #India in this mosaic from #Tunesia. His chariot is pulled by #tigers and winged Nike (victory) is riding with the victorious demigod. A riotous procession of bacchants surrounds the chariot.
#India needs 2.5 percent of its GDP ($ 3.2 tn) to cut #emissions deeply. That's $ 80 bn a year.
"Estimates suggest that compared with a no policy action scenario that could increase India's carbon emissions to 3.9 gigatonnes by 2030 (from 2.7 gigatonnes in 2021), a balanced policy intervention can lower carbon emissions to 0.9 gigatonne by 2030, the report added."

A few days after arriving, we took a trip to Khan Market. Khan Market in Central Delhi is a tiny area of boutique shops, restaurants, and bars. It is one of a handful of places that you'll see a lot of expats in Delhi. It is considered India's most expensive retail market (in terms of real estate cost). We sometimes feel a little silly but we have many, many fond memories of Khan and we had to go. A few highlights from the visit:
Sadly, I’ve had to cancel the Mumbai leg of my trip. But if you can’t go to Mumbai, you can bring Mumbai to you (Kailash Parbat, a famous chaat and Sindhi cuisine restaurant in Mumbai, has a few branches in Singapore). Vegetarian spot.
Until my 30s I found all beans and legumes disgusting, except green beans. I'd eat them if served them but would think to myself "FML this is disgusting." In my 30s I got introduced to some great Indian restaurants by coworkers and it got me to the point where I love them now and try to use them in more and more ways. I just had my first foray with black eyed peas this month. Later this year going to try to make Akara/Koose (a West African fritter made with black eyed peas). I'd love to be like Chetna and have literally a dozen varieties in the pantry but they can be hard to find. I still haven't found fava beans locally yet even! Dr. Lecter would be so displeased :(. Anyway, this is a great run through. I'm going to use it to step up my legume/bean culinary game. #food#cooking#Nigeria#Ghana#India#IndianFood#IndianCooking#PlantBased#legumes THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO LENTILS | Everything You Need to Know about DAL | Food with Chetna

Imagine having $1.5 billion to spend in one of the most flood-prone areas in the world, and using all of it to build a superhighway along the edge of the Arabian Sea so "maladaptive" that the IPCC has to name-check you.
I feel like sometimes random people just change your life in so many ways, like the girl who gave me a film camera in 2003 when I visited Kolkata, India for the first time. i haven't spoken to her in 20 years, but she gave me the gift of having my memories in still film photographs for the rest of my life
