In over four years in journalism, I haven’t written anything as personal as this. If any of you have lost a loved one to suicide like I have, know that you’re not alone. Talk about it, grieve, reach out for help if you’re overwhelmed. You don’t have to suffer in silence.

As we celebrate Neeraj Chopra’s success at #Tokyo2020, spare a moment to remember Davinder Jhanjhariya an Athlete who has won two gold medals in the same discipline (Javelin) for India at the Paralympic.

MNCs, that laid off support staff during pandemic, now using employees on an hourly basis.

Eg: Domino's Pizza outlets in South Delhi paying Rs 65 per hour. Use employees for 2-3 hrs a day.

Cabinet reshuffle is great but wish some attention is paid to basic labour rights.

They take lunch breaks only after 4pm. Depend on free food distributed on Bengaluru streets. They crave for a powerbank for their cellphones that runout of charge wit constant calls, toggling maps. Before lockdown had well-paid jobs but now earn barely enough to feed their family

This is what journos get in return for reporting. I was pushed and my phone was thrown when I tried covering the long queue outside the #Madikeri army canteen. While a cop pushed me another customer joined in for no reason. @KodaguSp @DCKodagu

This video was shot at Govind Ghat when most pilgrims were at Har Ki Pauri ghat. The flyover from where the video was taken is empty because it is a zero zone where only officials and media persons are allowed. The distance between Govind Ghat & Har Ki Pauri is 6-7 km.
