I teach modern history at the university of Delhi. I am interested in the legal, urban and sonic histories of South Asia; museums and memorialisation in India.

@sanjayuvacha yes but don't get senti about this, this is climate change and, eventually we will all be swept away in the deluge.

@appadappajappa or is thaat why its so bad now?!

[Aparna Balachandran @aparnab2015]

I used the @urbancompany services and suffered damange to my house as a result. I made a complaint and explained why I was reporting the situation a few days late, and I had absolutely no satisfactory reply. Will not be using again for sure.

Thank you Sukhalata and Megha for oganizing such an interesting workshop!

[Max Weber Forum for South Asian Studies @MWF_Delhi]

Why does legal consciousness matter? We brainstormed on this question today at our day-long workshop, organised by @megha_sh2389, @Sukhalata3 and MWF. Here are some snippets from the brilliant panels. @nit_sinha @aparnab2015 @DhirajNite @mailradhakumar

@Aramex @Aramex your representative informed me that the parcel has been given to another courier service, the tracking number doesn’t work… this is really ridiculous

[Aparna Balachandran @aparnab2015]

I had sent an urgent courier to Sydney through Aramex, my courier guy assured me that the parcel would reach quickly and safely. The package has reached Sydney on the 5th and there has been no update since then. The courier guy has received a message saying

December is the time that I start ordering Christmas cake ( and January is the time that I start making those diet and exercise resolutions). Just tried Theobroma's - so-so I would say. I will order from my all time favorite, Wenger's of course

Ruling Devotion is a brilliantly argued and meticulously research study of the British relationship with the Hindu temple in colonial India @DebsSutton congratulations!

[Deborah Sutton 😊 @DebsSutton]

[Aparna Balachandran @aparnab2015]

@nagrajadve and others on Lancet’s new report on extreme climate events and heat stress. An important conversation.

[Nagraj Adve @nagrajadve]
