In a backward glance, I realize I have written too much, too fast, in too little of a space but nonetheless this is a really small window into the most important person in my life. ❤️ shrutiiscomprehending.substack.com/p/my-father-in…

What I was not prepared for in my grief is how the dailiness of life and the passage of time will begin to contain my emotions. How each day would demand consciousness to inhabit my person’s absence and to feel closer to them.

The world of Shrinking is too perfect but I still love it because it supplies me with wholesome, nourishing content, great music, Harrison Ford's nonchalance, and the non-linearity of grief. But Alice’s goodness is really irking me. Who is human and also so forgiving?

Life’s purpose these days has been to fight against the fallibility of memory.

@_SumithraG So much to watch on Apple TV right now. The Silo, Shrinking, Bad Sisters -- Season 2 of all my fave shows back at the same time.

Every single show I watch on Apple TV is insanely good and there are only seven people talking about it. Hope Apple ramps up marketing so we have more people to discuss these shows with.

He walked for tens of kms for work and later for health, joy, and independence. As I replay all of this in my mind, it now occurs how clean the back of his feet always were even after a long day, despite all the walking.

My father loved his walks. Morning walks, market walks, walks to public transport, walks after meals, walks to find the perfect mango. Walks for years in sandals and later, a hesitant but fond adoption of crocs, in plains or trails. Long steps, hands swaying all the way back

Lost my Papa a month ago and his absence feels heavier and more profound with each day. Loss makes you feel many things, you oscillate between oblivion and reality quite often and you also question how the world outside is normal and banal while your own world crumbles.

(3/3) We work with a small number of clients at a time to provide hands-on, diligent support and have one slot left. If you are keen to work with two PMM leaders with 11+ years of experience, I'd love to connect.

(2/3) At Clarity Department, we work with founders and marketing leaders on their pivotal GTM priorities---product positioning, differentiation, segmentation, and GTM strategy. Our work has shortened the path to PMF (P.S PMF is a continued quest, also applicable for scale ups).

(1/3) Work update: Over the last quarter, I've been working with the talented @Samyu_d at Clarity Department (Product Marketing consultancy) and I can categorically say that a) I have gotten better at my craft b) The companies that stand out have strong PMM fundamentals in place

What happened to the Doctor at Calcutta is a stark reminder that nothing has changed since Bhanwari Devi. Governments can come and go but that India remains unsafe for ALL its working women is the truth of it. The state including the police will first try to hide sexual assault

A talented graphic designer from Gaza is searching for remote work. She has access to the internet and electricity from Saturday to Thursday, from 10 AM to 5 PM Palestinian time. Please, if you have such an opening or know someone who is looking for a designer, you can direct them to me and I will send the portfolio immediately.

🔊 [Employment/training help for a challenged individual] Our househelp's 24 yo is looking for training programs/employment support immediately. He has finished 9th grade, has some mental challenges, and is looking for work immediately since his father's passing a few months ago. Any leads appreciated. Thanks!

Today is a great day to read this article by The Caravan that incisively explains the politics of Uttar Pradesh and why we saw what we saw today. search.app/3uHjAbpH6gCaQ3…

People who've been abusing Uttar Pradesh all the time never wanted to acknowledge the political history of the state. Same goes to peeps who always portray Kerala as the bastion of some-utopia. Suresh Gopi has provided us with the much needed reality check. And so have UP makkal!

Election coverage can be calm, clear, factual, and speak truth to power. I don’t know if any other channel is talking about voter oppression. On @thenewsminute’s YouTube channel now.
