With #LokahChapter1 tasting stupendous success, here's an analysis of Malayalam cinema’s history of reimagining folklore by fusing evergreen tales with modern narratives

Wrote something about folklore in Malayalam cinema! :)

From ‘Kummatty’ to ‘Lokah Chapter 1 : Chandra’: Malayalam cinema’s long tryst with Kerala’s rich folklore...

Got to write something on a largely unknown piece of history that is very much relevant to the issue of coastal erosion around the Cochin harbour! :)

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

Reposting cause I just finished #AndorSeason2 and I can say with some conviction that it will go down as one of the greatest series ever made. #Andor is probably the most political and anti-fascist story made by 'Hollywood.' I guess most of the credit should go to Tony Gilroy!

[AswinVN @strangeclown]

My first opinion piece for @the_hindu 🙂!

#Andor starring @diegoluna_ is among the best political series/movies I have watched. #TonyGilroy has transformed #StarWars !

Also, thanks to @VeeSethu (Cinta Kaz) for the interview (link below). Have quoted her in this piece :)

"People have a wrong notion that they should feed wildlife with water and fodder during times of scarcity. Ecosystems and wildlife have evolved over millions of years and they know how to survive. If we nearly protect the habitat, that’s good enough." @sanjay_gubbi @aranya_kfd

#Kerala Kalolsavam 2025 ends tmrw. This was something I got to work on during Kalolsavam 2023 :). Think it's a pretty good guide on why this mega annual event is a big deal in Kerala!

"Instead of creating more capital infrastructure, we must reach out to corporates who are ready to open up their R&D labs for deep tech startups. If startups can access the research facilities of GCCs & corporates, they will benefit tremendously."

Imagine going to a school that is registered on paper, but has no building. In Nuh district of Haryana, @the_hindu hit the ground to find multiple such schools running out of cow sheds & chaupals. A story on Buildingless Schools of Mewat. Read on -

"I think independent journalists think of journalism as a vocation...they actually care about their societies...So they are probably going to do it no matter what, perhaps even despite the consequences."

It is as simple as that.

"The question, where is Kerala, can be answered empirically by simply stating that it is in the southwestern corner of India. However, if we think historically as much as with the present, Kerala has been part of much larger geographies"

For Ammini. For Saleena. For Ammalukutty. For the words i'd keep quoting. For the images I'd keep replaying. For the characters i'd put my face to (ammini, always).
Thank you, MT. My unwritten letters to you, like Ammini's to Madhavikutty, will keep you with me.

#MTVasudevanNair who passed away today was born at a village called Kudallur, near Ponnani in Kerala. He made a mark as a writer of remarkable skills from an early age. He was just 29 when he wrote Asuravithu, which has been hailed by some, including critic.

A few initiatives are stepping away from the traditional VC route and adopting their own novel ways to infuse more capital into initiatives that attempt to bring about real change for the masses of India.
