How did birthday celebrations become such a nuisance? This isn't the Mumbai I knew @mid_day

[BraveAndWise @isostar_82]

Motto of some uncivilized people: “I don’t care about anyone around me.”
Birthday celebration by bursting crackers at 1:30 AM in a public place at Shivaji Park on 3-June
Requesting authorities to take note and do the needful.

@Eeshanpriya @mid_day @CitiesQuestion @tajmahalfoxtrot @scroll_in @IndianExpress And the menace continues. No city for pedestrians and four-legged denizens. How did Mumbai come to this?

[BraveAndWise @isostar_82]

Today morning a bike on the footpath ran over this cat at Shivaji Park (Savarkar Marg), near the Kabaddi Association.
Will authorities wait for a human to be harmed before stopping these repeated traffic violations? @MTPHereToHelp @mid_day @CPMumbaiPolice @DcpZone5Mumbai

[Snigdha Hasan @SnigdhaHasan]

Less than a month ago, @mid_day @Eeshanpriya did a pertinent story on bikers' menace in Mumbai. The takeover of footpaths in what was once one of the most pedestrian-friendly cities in India continues @mumbaimatterz @CitiesQuestion

[BraveAndWise @isostar_82]

@MumbaiPolice @mybmc @MTPHereToHelp please take note that bikers are regularly riding on the footpath at Shivaji Park (Veer Savarkar marg) Dadar, putting pedestrians, children and elderly, stray animals, at risk. Requesting strict action to stop this unsafe practice. #RoadSafety

10 years ago, when India’s political discourse slid into the murky crevices of WhatsApp and crass memes, this gentle giant bore its most unkind brunt. Today, the discourse has had to raise itself to meet his gravitas. And like his astounding CV, the front page is just not enough

When I set out looking for a theoretical physicist who loves the arts, has an eye for the parallels between the many worlds of a play's characters & the multiverse and the will to write about it, it was with a note to myself that this was a near-impossible hunt. But lo and behold

Here's an opinion piece I was invited to write for an upcoming play "Constellations" at the @NCPAMumbai. The play is about a couple's relationship, but with a flavor of the multiverse.

Those who hate poetry can't seem to do without it either
From @DevyaniOnial's beautiful piece
"The Tarana-e-Hindi...holds a message that's a cliche and, like all cliches, repeats a truth: 'Mazhab nahin sikhata aapas mein bair rakhna...' Let's hope no one objects to that someday"

"If all music—khayal; dhrupad;
a song by Himangshu Dutta; or a song
from a 1950s Hindi film—is experiment,
then every expression of music
must constitute a serious thought."

Inviting @AmitChaudhuri to write for the On Stage had been on the list. It materialised and how!

[Amit Chaudhuri @AmitChaudhuri]

On Stage, the magazine of the National Centre of Performing Arts, Bombay, asked me to write something for their monthly column on music. I thought I’d write about experiment.

@ranjithoskote @Jay131266 And thank you for putting this brilliant, timeless poem in the context of what's unfolding all around.

@ndtvindia How do you explain the constant interruption during @BBCIndia's news bulletin at 10 pm tonight? This has also happened in the past but tonight was exceptionally bad. One expects better of @ndtv

Here’s a look at a page from a 15 year-old Satyajit Ray’s diary listing the films he watched in 1936 with his personal ratings of each film.

@thatdoggonelady This came as a gift. Slightly on the pricier side, but really good

[Snigdha Hasan @SnigdhaHasan]

Been on five calls since morning and each of them dropped at least five times. Also having to put up with some really poor network in places where it's generally okay. What's up @VodafoneIN ?

[Snigdha Hasan @SnigdhaHasan]

As bat conservationist Bandana Aul Arora says, "Bats have a great perspective on life, roosting upside down. For, that’s how most things in life are."
