@Pepperfry Order-309597039. I am doubtful whether Pepperfry has any ethical spine to own the problem...

[Varun S Bhatta @werunom]

Please do not buy from @Pepperfry. Had ordered a dining set. Chairs have termites issue. Table surface started chipping off. When raised concern, customer-service said the table issue is due to usage & closed the case.

Will never buy from #pepperfry!

[Varun S Bhatta @werunom]

@Pepperfry @pepperfry also created false logs! Sent mails that carpenter visited. In actuality, no carpenter visited!!!

On philosophy being "glaringly absent" from journalism... https://t.co/vObXMrZIhH

[Varun S Bhatta @werunom]

@nandita_j 😊

@KSArsh1 @thewire_in @queersprings @jahnavi_sen That happens sometime. Similar to knowing how to put the ideas in papers & deciding which journal to send the article, here too it requires some hand holding to know how to frame the pitch & what would interest a platform.

[Varun S Bhatta @werunom]

In this @thewire_in article, I explore journalists's perception philosophy.

Thanks to @queersprings taking interest & connecting me with journalists. Thanks to @jahnavi_sen for seeing value in this.

#Media | Why Journalists Do Not Use Philosophy

Why is that philosophy is glaringly absent in Indian newspaper journalism that otherwise seamlessly synthesises ideas from numerous disciplines while discussing a topic?

@IjtihadiLife @thewire_in @queersprings @jahnavi_sen Thanks Vipul. The column does not have a title. But @leo_mukherjee has commissioned Raghuramaraju to write monthly articles on philosophy.

See here for some samples...

@Pavan_KumarGV @thewire_in @queersprings @jahnavi_sen True. I think philosophy academicians had to take this informal path bcz we dont have dedicated cadre like sciences have (sci-comm professionals). But as you said, good Indian phil podcasts are less. But I can think of this https://t.co/4OI05kBNrz
