The freelance job market is overwhelming and has a bit of tough onboarding for different platforms.
Definitely not recommended to anyone who wants to have a strict reading routine. Well that was a learning experience for me. Sitting all night trying to navigate such platforms.
biggest cope i ever fell for
isolated myself for years on end
thought I was more superior than everyone around me and that they just didn't get me
played a victim role for so long that when I tried to go back, it was the hardest thing to do

Today was insanely hot. My auto driver said he couldn’t sleep last night. He has a fan in his one-room home in Sangam Vihar. The night - time temperatures are also very high. His coping strategy - wipe the floor with water through the night and lie down on the bare floor. I walked about 3.5 kms this evening, much less than my usual. After 7: 30 pm. We have to talk more about high night temperatures. People are turning up for work, are driving, walking , all groggy-eyed. No sleep.
Only 8% of Indian households have air conditioning and even then very, very few can afford to run ACs 24/7. Less than 15% have an air cooler. Which means more than three quarters of India’s population are like the auto driver I talked to.
The only cooling device in face of extreme heat is a fan.
Clicked these thermal images during an auto ride today in Delhi. The ambient temperature today was 43 degrees celsius today but thermal images of different surfaces both within and outside the auto was reached upto 60 degrees celsius.
We seriously underestimate what extreme heat does to the human body. We should start asking who is responsible for this rising heat and are those more vulnerable and exposed to extreme heat responsible for rising heat.
Frequent power cuts amidst extreme heat waves in Eastern Uttar Pradesh have added to the ordeal of harsh climatic conditions in the region.
The government of the state and UPPCL (Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited) has been largely ineffective in offering respite.
from prejudiced notions. I think it will take a broad based people's movement and systemic discipline towards ridding ourselves of such malice and ill will.
When you engage in a conversation with middle aged North Indian men, the topic of communalism, distrust towards minorities and vilification of a specific community always remains at the forefront.
I just ponder sometimes what will it take to persuade an entire generation . .
Dear @IRCTCofficial@RailMadad the condition of washrooms at Train no. 15021 coach B5 is absolutely horrible, my mother hasn't been able to use the loo because of un-sanitary upkeep.
I urgently ask the officials to get OBHS staff on the train to get it cleaned and seek feedback
