Involuntarily trying to make sense of everything

While designing cities in an orderly fashion, we lost the character a place would naturally get.

Any plans on reinstating that character to the streets? #urbandesigners

Us humans were successful creating gyms for the outer self (exercise)
Will we be successful to create gyms for the inner selves? - (meditating)

How will that be?

To-do lists are overrated

A “not to-do” list is more effective than a to-do list. Keeps you from being exceptional

Focus is the holy grail

We can no longer exploit the resources of this earth—the trees, the water, and other natural resources—without any care for coming generations. Common sense tells us that unless we change, we won’t survive. This Earth Day let’s resolve to live in harmony with nature.

@mattdgonzalez Finally people have something to fight over and make use of their time out of the monotony

[Ronak Kothari @ronakhkothari]

Okay, can we just give them some space even after this is over.

@JeremyCliffe I much prefer this framing.

We should be able to conceive of collective undertakings as something other than war.

We're not "fighting" an "invisible enemy."

We're trying to stop unthinking strands of RNA from self-replicating by systematically altering our own behavior.

Y'day while waiting to buy vegetables at the nearby sabzi stall - a couple just ahead of me made me realize (yet again) one of the defining features of the urban elite.

They bought stuff worth INR 315 & then started walking off after paying INR 300 with a casual wave of hand.

Never in my decades of experience in world affairs have I heard a Head of State or Govt openly threatening another like this. What makes Indian hydroxychloroquine "our supply", Mr President? It only becomes your supply when India decides to sell it to you. @USAndIndia

Dear Angry Indian Uncles,

You cannot scream a virus into submission. Its a virus, not your family.

There's a lot of people using ' when the lock down ends on the 14th' language. Just wanna put it out there that we are probably in for a LONG duration of social distancing and working from home after the lockdown. I hope I'm wrong. But doesn't seem that way.
