If AI can do everything, I'd like to live for the day when it creates a spine in this patrikarita business.

The language of 'prayers' and 'Mylord' has lulled the judges into thinking of themselves as deities making oracular pronouncements, instead of seeing themselves as working judges, paid by taxpayers to read & assess evidence and arguments. See this article:

मेरे ख़िलाफ़ फ़ेक न्यूज़ चलाने के लिए @ABPNews ने मेरी उसी फोटो का दुरुपयोग किया जिसे उन्होंने बतौर गेस्ट बुलाकर खींचा था. ये बात बताना इसलिए जरूरी है ताकि उनकी ‘विश्वसनीयता’ जगज़ाहिर रहे.

First in my bloodline to witness 144/163 in Durga pujo. But can anyone explain how this works? Basically pujo cancelled in parts of Bowbazar area?
West Bengal | Kolkata Police Commissioner Ajay Nand has imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the BNSS in parts of the Bowbazar area for 3 days, from Oct 18 to Oct 20, to prevent breach of peace. It bans the assembly of five or more individuals, the possession of lathis or dangerous weapons, and any actions that disrupt public harmony.

The 30-foot cockroach effigy promised by the Shri Keshav Ramlila Committee in Pitampura looks nothing like a cockroach. Instead, it looks like a man being attacked by the pest.
"This is their adhyaksh," the maker said.

The threat of contempt of court reminds me of ""यहाँ से 50-50 कोस दूर गाँव में, जब बच्चा रात को रोता है, तो माँ कहती है — बेटा सो जा, सो जा, नहीं तो गब्बर सिंह आ जाएगा।"
But what actually happens in contempt cases? @ruchichic's piece uses data to examine the impact of this bogeyman.

Durga Puja starts tomorrow and if you're a first timer or want to explore pandals beyond CR Park, I've compiled a list of Pandals spread across Delhi (must've missed some).
Also added some of my personal favourite food spots in CR park.

top 10 quirky legal opinions given
So Senior Journalist @waglenikhil apologizes to CJI for abusing him and deletes the abusive posts. Says he got emotional outburst after hearing @KapilSibal statement that he lost trust in the Supreme Court.
3 senior officials gave their apologies to #SupremeCourt in the contempt case relating to #DelhiProtests.
But how often does the SC convict one of civil contempt for willful disobedience of orders?
Records show punishment has been rare: less than 1% of cases end in jail/fine.
+cases where the contemnor complied with the order or the cases were dismissed or withdrawn.
@nipun_saxena details how contempt petitions are usually filed by those parties which seek a quicker, effective execution of the order.
