Learning and writing the city; lives in London with eyes on Chennai; once upon a time I studied architecture and now in the critical world of urban studies

Watched Sans Famille @ComedieFr tonight. The only black actor in all white cast plays an animal in the worst kind of stereotype. Are we really in 2025?! I am disgusted!

@vfsglobalcare I have done this already - filled a request at the link you sent. My mother has done the same at least 3 times in the last 6 months. What more do you want me to do?!

@vfsglobalcare my mother’s Schengen visa appointment was cancelled by you on 29 March. No reappointment issued and she is still waiting for her refund of fees already paid! What kind of service is this?

[Pushpa Arabindoo @PArabindoo]

@vfsglobalcare Honestly, it’s been six months since my mother filed a refund request and you are asking for my patience! This is absurd!!

[Pushpa Arabindoo @PArabindoo]

@vfsglobalcare I have filled a request for refund again on this link. It’s a claim from 08 April that still hasn’t been processed!

[Pushpa Arabindoo @PArabindoo]

@vfsglobalcare @vfsglobalcare my mother has submitted this request at least 5 times - she gets an auto reply and no refund!

Would you call this a “home”? https://t.co/DkHu31CO4G; reminded of this excellent piece by @elipascucci on humanitarian shelter logistics https://t.co/ZWFlECZp6h

It is good to see a weather channel not calling it a natural disaster. But can we go beyond the temptation of a tripwire critique. “The Bane of Urbanisation: What’s the deal with Bengaluru floods and What Can We Do?” by @weatherindia

I took this photo in Chennai to archive what I thought is a dying practice and now look…Whitehall prepares for winter blackouts with carbon-paper copying https://t.co/wWAEYj70kb. What about that “carbon” in carbon-paper?

[Pushpa Arabindoo @PArabindoo]

@sandra_jasper @nitin_bathla Great to see you as well Sandra…finally bit the bullet as it’s the best way of getting in touch with people while in India. Give me a shout when you are in London next!

[Pushpa Arabindoo @PArabindoo]

A good start or not enough? இது மட்டும் போதுமா 🤔

Welcome to Chennai where deification and reification is at another dimension!

[Pushpa Arabindoo @PArabindoo]

Arrived in Chennai after a long gap of 3 yrs…..looking forward to being in the thick of things again!
