Meet the Sundance Institute’s 2026 Press Inclusion Initiative participants, who will cover the #SundanceFilmFestival next week!
The Sundance Institute Press Inclusion Initiative is made possible by support from Netflix (@netflix), Rotten Tomatoes (@RottenTomatoes), and Golden Globe Foundation (@goldenglobefdn).
Update on ‘Agra’, the film: We’re being denied shows because of the so called ‘big blockbusters’ and because small films ‘don’t fit into’ multiplex chain programming. It’s up to you the audience now! Speak up and tag the chains. Say that you want to see the film!
“The 1959 Revolution marked a break from post-1804 fantasies of US designs on Cuba becoming part of the US, shifting the island toward sovereignty — a move the US found unacceptable.”

Favourite parts of working on this story: the numberless free trips to higher realms courtesy NFAK, and Sonu's quite quotable quotes.

Sandeep (Sonu), a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan superfan, presents this tasveer to as many people as he can. He brought me one all the way from Moga to Mumbai!
"Teri yaad ibadat meri" is the Punjabi qawwali referenced here. Memories of Nusrat saab are Sandeep's prayer.
The busiest collector of Nusrat memorabilia, Sandeep was the subject of my piece published some Sundays ago in The Hindu. Pegged to the release of the lost album Chain of Light.
ICYMI, do read about a borderless devotion that has intensified from hobby to passion to madness.
Manjiri would be a stellar addition to any team looking for a writer-editor with notable skills and experience. I've enjoyed every collaboration with her. If you need pieces crafted fast and well, and copy refined with nuance and care, pls get in touch with work ops. Do repost
While a ‘lost album’ shines the spotlight on the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, a shrine in Punjab offers a glimpse of his borderless legacy. @ranjitag writes.

So glad @ranjitag has written this v good story on a part of Bombay Instagram that drives me around the twist: the broker-influencer. https://t.co/zpHT0b2rP6
You may have seen their lavish house tours on YouTube and Instagram. Now read the story of home brokers who are gaining celebrity as realty influencers. Published in Business Standard.
Covid made showing properties through video common practice for brokers. Soon housing search portals added this feature. Now developers are roping in realty influencers to tour their projects, and clients across geographies are DM-ing with interest.
Net neutrality. The complex but important idea that makes the internet the wonderful place it is. In 2016, India introduced one of the most progressive regulations to protect the idea that all data on the internet should be treated the same. 🧵
