Thank you @gregorytaylor.bsky.social for the kind words and all the knowledge, care and kindness you have shown over these years. I wrote a small note for you on LinkedIn where you are not active. I am equally thankful to @tsheph.bsky.social, @emilylaidlaw.bsky.social, and @robinmansell.bsky.social

Some moments feel larger than themselves. Growing up, I spent countless summer afternoons reading this Hindi literary magazine and dripping mango juice onto its pages. So happy to see my father publish an article about our village in the very same magazine.

The shutdown has reached my state as well. My cousin in our village in Bihar texted today that he couldn’t send his internship email due to no internet and will have to wait until he returns to college next week.

India is the only place where red tape is often tied after the ribbon is cut. An internet shutdown was imposed in Kashmir on April 23, 2025, before any official orders were issued. The orders came a day later and were made public two days after the shutdown had already ended. [Source: SFLC]

If you have money, the level of comfort (for me its exploitation) you can access in India is unimaginable. Now domestic help can be ordered through an app which raises serious concerns about labor exploitation.

As I was seeing posts on women's day on internet, I can't think of anyone else than my mom who is a primary school teacher in my village in Bihar. I’ve been trying to convince her to move to a city or Delhi where the nearest hospital isn’t hours away but she always comes with some excuse and...
