She told me once — when she was manic, no fear. After, only fear. Can't go out alone now. Always needs someone.
I glanced at her. Distant. Intense. Somewhere else entirely.
I didn't ask what she was thinking. She would have said nothing.
We went back inside.

5:15am. End of nightshift in an inpatient psychiatric facility. I asked my healthcareworker to step outside. We breathed in the dew together.
It was a two way, outside the building. I saw cars, auto, and bikes crossing. Bangalore doesn't sleep. We are always going somewhere.

@ACTFibernet Thank you for resolving the issue.

@ACTFibernet is truly the worst internet service provider. Been 2 weeks of raising a request!! 4 phone calls and no response or action from their end. Never seen such apathy towards service users.😓😒

[Purnima @offlPP]

@ACTFibernet is one of the worst internet service providers I have seen. We lodged a request for shifting our router internally in the house. Yet to even receive a call back from those people. Let alone shift the router. No internet for 2 weeks and more 😭😭 #ItsAWonderfulLie

As Jean Dreze had noted: "How would you feel if a family were to let its weakest members starve, even as the house’s granary is full to the brim? That is what is happening in India today!"

I will be tweeting and reporting what I saw and heard in Srinagar and not what I wanted to see and hear. #Article370

Open spaces (Poromboke) are neither empty nor unused. They lend ecological resilience of landscapes. This Poromboke dance spotlights the predicament facing a city that has converted its commons to buildings and garbage dumps. @tmkrishna @kabervasuki

I wrote an article about public shade in #Karachi, in which I argue it's an urban planning obligation in a city where summer heatwaves regularly kill dozens and occasionally hundreds of the city's most vulnerable populations: the working class, the elderly, and the shelterless

One should read everything Romila Thapar writes. Here she answers the question of why history is so important for Hindu nationalists. https://t.co/MzqbUpmerz

Paying homage to our mentors. MKSS is a banyan tree in the activist world. It has laid roots to so many of us across States, working for rights of the marginalised.

Happy Labour Day to all of us!

Gov would rather spend money on surveillance boxes than other forms of infrastructure for students.
