@makemytrip @makemytripcare Despite calling your helplines from Monday onward and DMing on twitter, a simple case of rebooking due to airline schedule change is still not done. The airline insists only MMT can make the change as agent and no idea why it is taking you so long.
@makemytripcare It is 15 minutes to the 24 hour deadline your last message asked for to finish what is a simple rebooking as the airline changed their schedule. I have been talking to your customer service since Monday - and after 6 days, it has still not been resolved.

A warm hug of a read on old HMT watches and little loves.
I wrote this piece on discovering parts of Bangalore through a slightly eccentric love for old watches and alleyways. I had no plans to publish, but my friends @onneshaghosh and @srukrish generously encouraged me to. The @DeccanHerald has carried it today. I hope you like it. :)

When letters from my Middle Ages started, never dared hope that there would such kind, thoughtful readers - today has been all kinds of wonderful. Thank you!
From a stunner blog, about a stunner album that holds me close in its banter, chuckles and the wish to have been in one corner of that room in Chembur. @srukrish

I am supposed to tweet about my review of #AnimalMovie titled ‘Tax the rich’ and tell about the subversive sex at the dining table approach of #Rockyraani - will do before your next visit @manishgaekwad - come back jaldi
Another friend, @srukrish, also a previous IFA grantee, who is soon going to be a published author, took me to a lovely Andhra meal at Nagarjuna, great coffee at Ainmane, & hilarious conversation about the mechanics involving a coffee-making machine similar to copulation.🤦

How is interfering with an election ethical? When Facebook’s internal paper on A/B tests to see if people will vote when prompted by messaging came out, it created a ruckus. How is this ok? @bijurao @tressiemcphd @BahujanEcon @cyrilsam @readingkafka @Vijayasankar_FL @mrajshekhar
I’ve been of Twitter for a while, but please explain how this is ethical.
How did this get past an IRB?
RCTs are questionable as a methodology in itself. Please read Deaton, Ravallion and others critique it.

Whether you read the review or not, go read The Last Courtesan, folks!
This review is by @srukrish. Sometimes one likes reading a review of something one may not necessarily want. But one checks it for later because it's made to love. A kinky pleasure. 😎

Yes! And the illustrations are so fabulous, @littlenemrut! Folks, if you are interested in #design, please check out ‘We are not users’ by @mitpress - open access and free! #EswaranSubrahmanian #YoramReich
In 2018, Eswaran Subrahmanian and @srukrish invited me to illustrate their book!
@anthropam reminded me today that it is open access @mitpress! direct.mit.edu/books/oa-mono…

What a lovely thing to wake up to! Thank you @littlenemrut for tagging!
Stumbled upon this gem of a book. With a chapter on the importance of contextual understanding to good design and a brilliant case study on design to prevent violence against women.
Open access (!) at @mitpress:

And then the Cartesian system moved in time.
On this day in 1687, Sir Isaac Newton publishes Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), one of the most significant works in the history of science.
The Principia*states Newton's laws of motion, forming the foundation of classical mechanics; Newton's law of universal gravitation; and a derivation of Johannes Kepler's laws of planetary motion (which Kepler had first obtained empirically).

Yes, @induviduality doesn’t own the format but the process she has created, what she calls people-powered projects is what she has conceptualised. She invites people to share stories that help break taboos and over the years… 1/n
Hey @TheSwaddle, I see you have a new illustrated series which destigmatizes sex & people are finding similarity to the work I have done over the years. I don't own the format but I'd be happy if you came to me for few of the illustrations. Thanks #SupportLivingArtists
You are reading a poem out aloud. As you narrate the lines, you pause. The pause could last for a heartbeat or a moment, but it lets you savour silence before tasting the next line on your tongue. The word that refers to this pause when you read a poem is ‘caesura’. (Yes, 1/n)
It's our birthday! FoV turns 11 today & we couldn’t be more grateful for your support. As we now chart the next decade, we dream of scaling to newer contexts and geographies. We seek your continued support in this new exciting phase. mailchi.mp/7dc312d61e38/2022…
As with poems and songs, in life too, such caesuras let us halt awhile, take a deep breath, and savour the moment. Today as @fovlabs turns 11-years-old, here’s a small pause before the journey continues.

Hey @karthik_n
One city whose food landscape has transformed through the pandemic, is #Pune. I've lived there for 2 years, and continue to frequent it every other month.
This food thread is long overdue. Think of it as a love letter to Pune. Since 2019, it's a new food city completely!

#TIL that Shammi Kapoor was one of the first users of the Internet in India
He was the founder & chairman of the Internet Users Club of India. I can't wrap my head around how someone like Shammi Kapoor was in the thick of the internet movement in India?
I did some digging 👇

What we have in Indian cities is not a #landfill. There is something called a scientific landfill - you take an expanse of land, dig, and create an impermeable layer so that no leachate escapes from the waste to the soil and there is a system to collect the leachate.
A massive fire broke out at Bhalswa landfill in northwest #Delhi on Tuesday evening. The fire department received a call at around 5.45 pm and 10 fire tenders were rushed to the spot.
