Boochi by Arushi Karthik.

An unsettling fairy tale about daughters, systems, and escape. You will find neither comfort, nor easy answers here.

[State of Matter @stateofmattermz]

Hey #WritingCommunity

Slightly busy working through some assignments, so feedback on author drafts are a little late. We will clear our slush asap.

#EditorsTake

[State of Matter @stateofmattermz]

Find our editor, @its_ayush_here, writing about why Editing is akin to art-ing, and why readers must, in proper terms, be considered as aesthetic actors.

The Sky Loom of Sitaara by Elena Pavlova.

A thoughtful story about progress without erasing tradition, using weaving as a beautiful metaphor. Quiet, hopeful sci-fi that stays with you.

[Ankit Jha @ankj90]

Scathing but fair.

The number of full-fledged Free and open-source software (FOSS) products and initiatives coming out of the 4th Phase, JP Nagar (Zerodha Tech), must be unprecedented for a team of its size globally.

All of these projects started as a way to solve problems we faced internally and were then open sourced. We use them at scale in our stack, and several large organisations and even government departments globally use many of these tools today.
