Important piece by @tca_raghavan: "Not getting sucked into Nepal’s domestic churn would be a considerable achievement. That in itself appears a good enough priority for us for the immediate and the medium term."

हमारे शहरों में पैदल चलना कितना मुश्किल है ये तो सब जानते ही हैं। पर इस स्थिति को सुधारें कैसे? इस पर हमारी चर्चा @walkingproject के ऋषि अग्गरवाल जी के साथ जो लंबे समय से इस मुद्दे पर जनजागृति बढ़ाने का काम कर रहे हैं। इस ज़रूरी मुद्दे पर हमारी पुलियाबाज़ी ज़रूर सुनिए।
