@devinamehra I always enjoy your posts, Devina madam. They so often make me pause, reflect, and connect them to my own experiences.

@devinamehra “पांव हवा में है और हाथ ख़ाली, सब लेखा जोखा एक क्षण में ख़त्म…समाप्त” - powerful lines that collapse a lifetime of striving into a single humbling moment! You are a remarkable blend of analytical rigor and poetic insight!Grateful to be connected as an investor with First Global

@devinamehra Great insight on system level thinking! Small details are rarely isolated; they’re outputs of the system behind them.
The unsharpened pencil isn’t the issue, it’s the absence of a process that ensures consistency. The leather setup shows intent, but the pencil reveals execution.

@devinamehra A powerful reminder that celebration without reflection can sometimes become complacency. Posts like this make us pause and confront realities that are often uncomfortable but necessary to acknowledge. Hopefully, the day you describe comes sooner rather than later.

@dispatches_b222 @thinkLawUS Is this a novel or non-fiction?

A joyful NWP Brunch. It was a delight meeting these accomplished souls at my table. @ncte @writingproject #NCTE22

@KristinRunyon @JoriKrulder @HerreraKM1 I wish I had attended this. However, made a copy of your slides. Love the choices you provide for reading in your classroom.

[Reena Shah @reenashah_usc]

@DoctorYasmin @ncte NCTE ran out of copies of your book this morning. The publisher did not have any copy on site. I will soon buy it to read it.

[Reena Shah @reenashah_usc]

Brilliant session by @DoctorYasmin on how to teach media savvy kids/ grownups by talking about misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation and so much more. Thank you @ncte #NCTE22

[Reena Shah @reenashah_usc]

@JoriKrulder It is a pleasure and an honor meeting you.

A spectrum of ideas that sparked the imagination in this very inspiring session! Using mentor texts in classroom could serve as beacons of light. Thank you @dispatches_b222 @RebekahODell1 @ncte @AllisonMarchett @ConferringCarl for this wonderful session.
