"The system hasn’t collapsed. The government has failed. Perhaps “failed” is an inaccurate word, because what we are witnessing is not criminal negligence, but an outright crime against humanity."

"The supplies include 5,500 oxygen concentrators, 3,200 oxygen cylinders and 1,36,000 remdesivir injections.

But it seems not to have reached even those who are gasping for oxygen a few km away."

Where are the 300 tonnes of emergency Covid-19 supplies that have landed in Delhi in last five days?
No flights have taken off to carry supplies to other parts of India, nor have states been told about their share, report @psychia90 and @sharmasupriya

Counting the days in
quiet walks and fallen leaves
A year in limbo

Surreal summer
Of waiting, ruminating
A dreamlike limbo

The effects of the #pandemic hang ominously over the future of many #internationalstudents around the world. My story on the helpless sense of uncertainty that #students who were hoping to make it to Finland this year are experiencing.

A summer's day in Tampere.

Also, this was at 11 pm.

My story on how the #coronaviruscrisis has affected #InternationalStudents in #Finland, particularly those from no-EU/EEA countries. With no jobs or aid available, they are struggling to cover their living and tuition expenses. #Immigration

It's not that the sun doesn't shine on some days,
it's an angry hot spinning ball suspended in space
even on days
when it doesn't become a sunbeam
in my living room.
A golden shaft of magic dust and memories...
