Wow!

There is something common between the unfortunate young CA who lost her life due to overwork and the four migrant workers who collapsed due to hunger in Chennai. It's called the exploitation of labour. The sooner we understand this, the better.

Forever, I wish I could hug Gran

Where is this spa located? 😂

If you are in media, just starting out or early career, I do free mentoring open spaces on zoom. My DM is open. If you are stuck in a toxic workplace and can't leave, talk to me, I'll listen. Sometimes just getting it out of your system makes you feel lighter. You're not alone.

Gran was crying last night, friends. Her cry is soft and gentle, like her. Uuuu, uuuuuuuu, uuuu... When I sat and petted her she was better. She ate a few treats (her fave, chip chip chicken discs). I hope the pain patch kicks in today and she feels better. Gran, we love you 💗

My new book, SPEAKING FOR NATURE: THE ORIGINS OF INDIAN ENVIRONMENTALISM, is out next month. It profiles ten thinkers who, in different but equally compelling ways, anticipated the environmental challenges that face India and the world today. More details below.

We have a panda too 😍

Granny is in so much discomfort. Heartbreaking to see her like this. She didn't sleep last night. Kept crying in pain. Early this morning, she began pacing and crying. This poor puppy. G S Madhusudan was giving advice at 2 this morning. Will speak soon to the vet. Granny 💓

Hey Amma 😞

Dear friends, thank you SO much for the love, condolences & celebration of the best girl, Granny. SO grateful. We will miss Gran every minute. She was soft, silly, gentle & cuddly. And she fought cancer. Gran was filled with Light. It was an Honour to be her Friend. Thank you 🙏🏽

Granny's ashes have been buried in the garden, under the Poovarasan sapling. She used to friends with a Poovarasan, back when she lived in the garden. She will always live with us, our darling Gran Gran 💛

Many many congratulations, azeefa on winning the Project Siren Award 2024 💛 The jury recognised her story "for its thoughtful, life-affirming contribution to public understanding of how suicides can be prevented". More power Azeefa! TheNewsMinute thenewsminute.com/news/tnms-azee…

She won the award for five story series, “Let Them Eat Rice” in People's Archive of Rural India which focused on how small farmers in Tamil Nadu have to adapt and strive for profitability in the face of a challenging environment—a combination of #climatechange, market dynamics and mechanisation.

Thank you ❤️🙏🏽
