Quite a few folk have said that they missed my photos. This has given me a small boost that counters the dark relentless depression whose controlling voice is my brain's inner git-when I'm not well she tells me that my posts, work (& me) are utter worthless sh*te.

Here are some of my photos to make up a little for my absence due to brain illness. I design them using recent research on how looking at plants, flowers & plant-based patterns improve human mental health.

If you zoom in & they make your brain feel better, even slightly, for a few seconds, maybe...RT this? ty:

I don’t suppose anybody would like to buy a book tonight.

I’m stressing about big bills week, it’s not getting any easier and lately I’ve been wondering how long we can keep doing this. I know I’m not alone in this, lots of small businesses are facing difficult times.

So, there’s a new online shopping scam on the rise. Read on to save yourself from it👇

One of my relatives recently ordered clothes from a website called “Ethno Trend.” She spent ₹3,000, for outfits. The package arrived via DTDC courier. But, clothes were completely different and the quality was so cheap it probably cost them ₹100 max. There is no phone number on the website. Only one email which will be never replied back.

To connect to them, I placed a dummy order because they call you up to confirm when you order. A woman finally called me, and I told her about the previous order. She laughed. When I mentioned I'll report to police she yawned. Probably bored by banality of this statement and responded in heavy Gujrati accent, “Haan haan. Accha hai. Chalo fir bye.”

So, I Googled around, and turns out there are hundreds of similar fake online shopping websites running the same con of which people have complained in past. They send you fake items, collect cash through DTDC, and there’s no direct payment option online so they can dodge getting caught.

DTDC should technically hold some responsibility for handing over your money to scammers, but they’re just not.

The sheer creativity and variety of scams these days is staggering. So be very careful. Saawdhan India!! @DTDCIndia @GujaratPolice

Lands at Mumbai airport around 1800 and still no decision of what next for the rest of passengers. It’s been two hours!

The response from @AmericanAir @British_Airways and @HannoverAirport has been disappointing. The delay is affecting a tightly scheduled work trip for @NINDSfunding @NIH_NINDS. Kindly request @FlightRights @British_Airways @AmericanAir @HannoverAirport to look and respond 🙏.

My friend Abhay Kanvinde walked around the peth areas of #Pune every evening during Diwali and his beautiful photos are evocative of a time when celebrations were simpler and quieter (or maybe I'm just growing old!)
