My wife and I made the decision of moving back to India from the US after completing our higher education.

We decided to dedicate our lives to building & researching technologies out of India for the world.

We recently completed 1 year of our stay here.

To all the Indian 20-40 year olds who are contemplating their move back to India but are filled with uncertainties, this is an honest compilation of 10 differences we observed after our move back here!

Why do American cities feel less "alive" than their European counterparts?

It's because of something called the "missing middle".

A century ago, American cities looked completely different... (thread) 🧵

4) and finally, I want to echo @im__jane ‘s messaging that we must normalize changing supervision when things are not working out and change the narrative that switching is both a sign of failure and catastrophic

[DaisyONeill @Daisy_ONeill_]

3) I wanted to simultaneously laugh and cry at @himanshuzade’s closing comment that if you “can’t hang out because you need to recover from a supervision meeting” and your supervisor is the main topic of your therapy sessions then something ain’t right!

2) I will think about @pamwis ‘s recommendation (prompted by a thoughtful crowd question) for a trauma informed overhaul of academia and cannot wait to bring this language to my local PhD Council efforts.

Excited to be here at #CHI2024. If you are around, please say a hi 👋

You can also join our panel (5/15 9-10.30am HST) with @kentarotoyama, @im__jane, @pamwis, Steve Oney and me to discuss the tension in advisor-advisee relationships and empathize with the other side!

[Himanshu Zade @himanshuzade]

@YiqingXXX @im__jane @pamwis Hahaha, well someone reported it for sensitivity of the topic. I agree 🙃

[Himanshu Zade @himanshuzade]

Feel free to ask for the survey link (DM) and share your experiences with us. We wish to facilitate a dialogue for improving advisor-advisee relationships!

[Himanshu Zade @himanshuzade]

@Pranavmalhotra8 Curious if you have or can point to more specific summary of what he says…

[Himanshu Zade @himanshuzade]

@im__jane I do. But I usually also push them to send me a. Email so we can talk more.

In English, you smoke a cigarette.

In Hindi, you drink a cigarette.

In Marathi, you pull a cigarette.

In Bengali, you eat a cigarette.

As *every* year, this Diwali travel also includes the mandatory extra security inspection of all my Indian snacks and desserts. Good sign!!!

Also sharing a snap from my prep run for the talk :)

Will be presenting my work on Contextual-Cues and Tweet-Trajectory at #CSCW2023 in the Misinformation II session. Easy access to provenance can help users assess their trust in the propagators of online information and make better credibility judgments. https://t.co/Lnlw5xsQAE

'Reply' and 'Quote' features are employed differently on X. Compared to replying, we found that quoting could promote more polarization by building a refutation towards politically-opposed accounts and by amplifying politically-aligned accounts. https://t.co/aLmpcz8SqD

[Himanshu Zade @himanshuzade]

Here at #CSCW2023. Looking forward to seeing you all! If this is your first time here, feel free to say a hi :)
P.S. I will be presenting my research on how tweet-trajectories could help identify misinformation this Wednesday; more soon!

Been mad and sad over October visa bulletin 2023 for few days. Final action dates on potential green cards (for INDIANS only) goes to 2017 even for specialized EB1 category. Pass the Recapture Bill by @CongressmanRaja n extend unused the green cards to highly skilled immigrants.
