There's a new POST (UK Parliament) note out, summarising research on trust in news in the UK - with contributions from me, based on Reuters Institute research.

The railway budget was scrapped because it was seen as unnecessary & politicised. But we’re left with no accountability on safety, finances or projects. Why has the Indian railways been allowed to disintegrate this way, and who does it benefit? My column for Frontline

And summer. Is behind us. #groan

'SEBI chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch did not recuse herself from the regulator's investigation into alleged stock manipulation by the Adani Group, a SEBI board member told Scroll on the condition of anonymity.' Your move now, Finance Ministry. #SEBI scroll.in/article/107261…

In the last 10 years, general section seats were slashed from 50% to 43% while AC coaches have increased from 15% to 24%. Do Indians who can't afford luxury not deserve to travel? Or perhaps they do, if they risk their lives. My column. #IndianRailways frontline.thehindu.com/columns/railwa…

Floods in Nigeria kill hundreds and a food security looms. Climate is food, life and livelihood. #climate #Nigeria apnews.com/article/nigeri…

"Are you going to do anything to help the environment?" 💚

Clarification for trolls, I'm really okay with being ridiculed as 'Bengali', 'didi' or 'wears a large bindi on her forehead'. In fact, I'll attach my column here once more. The Indian Railways are a mess & calling me names won't change that. Cheers. frontline.thehindu.com/columns/railwa…

Re-upping my column on SEBI's Chief. At a conference hosted by a business channel in July, in answer to an audience member question, Buch laughed beguilingly and said “You’ve asked me an out-of-syllabus question.” Time for some honest answers. #SEBIChief frontline.thehindu.com/columns/hinden…

Please, for the love of all that is sane, can we just focus on building and maintaining pavements that people can actually walk on.

Won the Laadli for a story I did on the hijab ban in Karnataka. A year later when I met students they said they felt the media, country had forgotten just how much trauma they had been put through. Today, I remember and applaud them, and also sadly note that the ban is still on.

Thank you very much! Netflix - like writing is a very unique description I must confess :)

SEBI employees showing both more spine and commitment to its principles. The Finance Ministry seems to neither care nor comprehend that so many dubious associations for the head of a country's market regulator is not a great look from any potential investor's eyes. #sebichief

Because I miss what this platform used to be, a throwback from literally decades ago. That's me, a rookie reporter covering India's budding rock scene. Glad to see so many of these musicians are now industry veterans 🖤 #ThursdayThrowback #journalism youtu.be/qrcFuV03UMs?si…
