Nine Rupees an Hour, my non-fiction book on the disappearing livelihoods of Tamil Nadu, was launched exactly 2 yrs ago by @PSainath_org & @nirmala_now. Everybody in the book was present. So grateful I got that opportunity.
Today, I signed up for a writing course. To learning! 💜

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Love yourself. But also analyze and be critical of how you think, act & behave. Self love without self awareness is useless. Be accountable.
