I've tried meditation, I've tried chanting.
I strongly recommend staring at trees

@Vikrchan This is how religions start :-D

I think we have been so consumed by content creation that many people have stopped seeing what separates it from journalism. Anyone can repeat a fact. A fisherman in Kerala was convicted of a string of murders. Nobody owns that line, you cannot possibly gatekeep it.

But a fact is just wet clay. Journalism is the craft of working it into something that holds, the reporting and then the writing, the checking that goes in before it reaches you and the responsibility that stays once the story is out.

Here is a crash course in that difference, from my days at Mint.

[gully labs @GullyLabs]

the hawai chappal is probably the most common piece of footwear our country has seen

we took what worked and evolved what didn’t to finally land at the 005 deluxe chappal

@bykarthikreddy Yes, true. We still use the old village names.
Just many of the present houses and layout are from 1970

[Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting]

@rebelwithany They talk about only the new cafes and offices so :-)

[Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting]

Just wanted to record here that people have been living in Indiranagar since the 1970s 🙃

[Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting]

@Bulbasaurus007 Yes, but the houses and layout of today I believe date back to 1970

[Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting]

@Anushka257 Only if it has added health-value like say a Cola Kombucha

[Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting]

@fatiimamama Yes, perfect chutney in those classic Darshini-plates

[Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting]

Just Jayanagar mornings, nourished by Bengaluru Cafe

[Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting]

@StatsMerchant I am realising that lol.

[Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting]

Bangalore's dosa scene is missing a relaxed, cafe-style place where one can sit for a while. MTR outlets come close but still don't have the right vibe.
Something like a larger Ondu Plate would work well.

[Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting]

@StatsMerchant I don't like the place :(

[Suchi Govindarajan @suchiswriting]

Toit at its quietest and best! And if you're there at about 10am, you can start your day with an Irish coffee :-P

[Himanshu Goel @Himanshugoelyt]

Shouldn't have waited 2 years to try breakfast at Toit
underrated!
