Last Friday, I had the pleasure of being part of a panel discussion on #CommonScience, organised by @iihsin, as part of their annual writings festival, #CityScripts2020, along with my friends @ipsawonders, @sandygrains, & @nandita_j.
A short thread on what we discussed :)
1/8
Deepika S from the Connect team spoke about the IISc archives and Connect magazine at #CityScripts2020 @iihsin
The story of @iiscbangalore is also the story of #Bangalore and the story of science. People came from all over the country to study here, away from home: Deepika S talks about the archives of a public institution at #CityScripts2020.
We turned five in style thanks to all of you!
A big thank you to everyone for making #CityScripts2020 unforgettable!

Comedy has a high purpose but tends to be ranked lower in literature: @khyru at #CityScripts2020.

We don't really realise it but children's lives are pretty absurd. We, adults, are the weird people in their lives: @SudeshnaShome about humour writing for children at #CityScripts2020.

'When you send in an entry, you want to win! I wrote something that I thought children would want to read', says @khyru at #CityScripts2020 about how she created the Butterfingers character by replying to a #Twinkle call for stories.

Taking the stage now at #CityScripts2020 is Koottu, a non-verbal play and workshop for children aged 8+ years around the theme of identity and inclusion. Qabila (@qabila_collective) is getting children to connect with each other and think about the world they want to live in.
#kidlit and #theatre -- what an awesome way to start off Sunday! Come to @iihsin for the closing day of #cityscripts2020!
We love the #kidlit community's involvement in #CityScripts. Here's to many years of such collaborations!

I know I cannot change society but I believe that one day it will change. It is with that conviction that I write. So that I am counted amongst those who at least tried: Manoranjan Byapari at #CityScripts2020.

@iihsin wrapping up this #Cityscripts2020 workshop on journalism 'Reporting in a warming world' with a superb session by @prempanicker - Lots of #TYL for me. Thank you so much Sir!
Varud Gupta and Ayushi Rastogi ran an engaging and fun reading session at #CityScripts2020! They made it fun by getting audiences to play roles and read from their graphic novel Chottu.
There are 10 signed copies of ‘There’s Gunpowder in the Air’ by Manoranjan Byapari, translated by @arunava.
Catch them in conversation and buy their book at 6 pm today at #CityScripts2020.
Everyone has a story and increasingly, across the country, everyone will have a story: @divyars on extreme events growing more frequent in a climate changed world. She is moderating a discussion with @krupage & Viju B (@floodandfury) on floods in cities at #CityScripts2020.
People who suffer the most & people who do most work in the aftermath belong to the most marginalised communities. Relief work has to have a caste component and we must make sure aid reaches those most in need: @krupage on disaster relief work in India at #CityScripts2020.
