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.

Yes, if you look at how things have unfolded since the T@lib@n took power, most decisions are now based on sharia law. All reports show that they’re worried about people using the internet to access p0rn which they see as an immoral act. This actually a larger pattern in the Global South ...

What a beautiful read on @theatlantic.com about the “islands of competence”. When children fall short, many parents’ instinct is to take away something they love. That’s the wrong impulse.
