@AlaskaAir Will do. Pinged you separately already with context.

[Ekshita K @EkshitaK]

@AlaskaAir I just had the absolute worst experience ever on any international leg with any US airline in 16 years with you… cultural microaggressions (and that’s an understatement), saying baggage rules stated on ticket aren’t real, mistreatment of senior citizens. List goes on.

If you think you have to dumb down an idea to explain it, you're not giving your audience enough credit.

If people don't understand your idea, start with the assumption that you haven't explained it well.

The goal of communication is clarity, not simplicity.

My Traveling across India for 3 months in Age of Covid underlines the reality of the Missing Indian Politician. Where is the Neta who walked with Migrant Workers, talked to patients at covid hospitals, lent a shoulder in grief at a graveyard. Nowhere. Zoom machaye dhoom. Bas

Fun fact of the day: network effects, although almost always mentioned in context of social media sites at this time, were just as important back in the day when the phone was invented #networkeffects #socialmedia #funfacts #history #telephones

Yes, shelter in place/ quarantine is hard. But I strongly believe it’s on us to make it as rewarding as possible, and hence I am creating lemon plans when life gives me lemons. Plant it from a seed guys, let’s act greener in our own spaces! #covidactivities #howtoquarantine

To think that around 500 BCE, #Confucius (Kongfuzi) suggested that graceful behaviour in all situations, by all parties, would in itself limit chaos. And yes 1000s of years later, we fail to do so. #humans #humanfolly #history #culture #grace #covidreading

[Ekshita K @EkshitaK]

@shahanSean @gypsy_heart6 That’s unacceptable. I’m sorry to hear that your mom had to deal with that.

Fascinating read on behaviour change. A while back I tweeted on enabling change, and this article covers the step after - beyond how to equip, it’s how to convince.

Rather than trying to persuade people to do something, get them to persuade themselves. Here are three ways to do that. https://t.co/xXeeqZVH5N

They say language set us apart. But what is language? Not a point to an object and use a noun, but being able to imagine a shared reality not right in front of your eyes #reading #evolution #shortthoughts #language #history

You see the problem is that people don’t realize that their cavalier approach towards viruses may not affect them, but does affect people around them. Your immunity isn’t your right to put others in danger #COVID19 #becareful #precautions
