In my JMP, I ask: Why do different kids specialize in different skills?
In the same classroom you have:
– the math whiz
– the leader
– the quiet empath

Is that because they chose different skills to invest in… or because some skills are just harder for them to build?

#StoryAlert🚨

20 years of the Right to Information Act: it is in a critical condition—an institutional patient on life support.

Among the most transformative laws of independent India, it armed citizens with a way to check health of the social contract in a democracy that requires that government is accountable to the governed. Today, everything points to the government dishonouring that social contract.
