US President Joe Biden confirmed that his team would ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. He said – Campaigns are a contest of competing visions The country chooses one or the other. And we all must accept the choice that the country made. The people have done their duty as citizens. On January 20, 2025, we will have a peaceful transfer of power in America.
We read- Musk has spent $132M on and actively campaigned for Trump. Musk may become in charge of a bureaucratic purge, shrinking government expenditure. His job may include potentially firing thousands of career bureaucrats. Reducing the deep state. Kash Patel may join hands here. Is Big Tech taking charge of American, global lives ahead? Powershift in favour of the Big Tech?
Will Trump persist with his opposition to the green ‘world’?
CJI DY Chandrachud is retiring after two years in office. Baton is being passed on to Justice Sanjiv Khanna, the senior most judge in the apex court. Justice Chandrachud said: Michhami Dukkadam – May all my misdeeds be forgiven. He ordered J&K elections by September 2024, stressing the need to restore statehood at the earliest and as soon as possible. He also declined to alter the Special Marriage Act to recognise same-sex marriages, referring it to the legislature. He confirmed the right of the LGBTQ+ community to be treated with dignity, free from discrimination. He also led the decision to dismantle the controversial electoral bonds. Justice Khanna, in office for 6 months, would be followed by: BR Goyal, Surya Kant, Vikram Nath, BV Nagarathna (maybe for 36 days) PS Narasimha, JB Pardiwala (maybe for 831 days), KV Viswanathan.

With hindsight: It appears I have been nudged into learning, learning facilitation, teaching, and mentoring from very early days. A special stream has always flowed now for the last 50 years. It has manifested into relentless flood flow now. Responding to peers’ questions, doubts in primary school. Tuitions in upper primary. Combined studies, and lead explanations in Sarvail school, and later at Sagar APRJC. Coaching peers, juniors at NIT Warangal. Taking up teaching in Engineering college and teaching basics of electrical, electronics, computers and society. Facilitating lab-based learning. Taking classes, ad hoc informal classes at IRMA. Training in the field. Induction. Learning programs. Developing, inducting and supporting Animators, Facilitators, Coordinators, Young professionals. 100-200 day programs. Programs in Livelihoods, Livelihoods management, leadership, and development practice. Adjunct, visiting faculty for more than 15 years. Academic Committees. Designing curriculums. Coursework. Mentoring NF Academy now. Mentoring Livelihoods Support Individuals, Organizations, Enterprises, and Mentors. In the LPRD-PVM domain and outside. Across the country and outside. Professionals and Community professionals. Young and old. Women and men. Short-term and long-term. Intensively, extensively. Pressing in more than 100,000 livelihoods workers, development practitioners, entrepreneurs, resource persons, and anchors directly, 10x more indirectly.
When I completed Engineering, it appears I opted for Robert Frost’s road less travelled, may be needed. A response to the inner calling. Calling of the universe. Gurus’ instructions. It has made and is making all the difference. Can we persist with this? Intensely. Joyously. As a movement.
Yes, we can. If we coexist, keep flowing, facilitating learning to flow. In N? abhyaasayoga for 7L.
