#GiveAway Data + design nerds! I’m running a workshop at #VizChitra2026 and giving away one ticket. We’ll learn what makes or breaks a mobile story- chart types, sunlight-proofing and what accessibility really means :) DM me what you’d like to learn and I’ll pick one person🙇🏻‍♀️

thehindu.com/infographics/2… Play football on a graph but also learn some things about #FIFA but like for reals, have fun playing on a chart (on desktop only!)

Everyone (including you and me) is reading on mobile screens but nobody (including me, guilty!) is designing news stories for these small handheld screens. It's time to change that! #VizChitra2026

👋 Will be speaking at React Nexus this year on something I've been really enjoying lately 🤫

We’re super excited to announce that @_SreetamDas, @summy_dev, and @tapasadhikary will be speaking at React Nexus 2026!

How much of the rupee's fall actually shows up as inflation in the country? The rupee went from ₹45 to about ₹96 per dollar in 15 years. Does that mean your savings lost half their value? Depends on where you spend. 1⃣If your expenses are in dollars, yes. You need more rupees to buy the same dollar. Your rupee savings have literally halved in dollar terms in the last 15 years. 2⃣But if your expenses are in India, no. A kilo of basmati rice going from ₹60 to ₹140 is domestic inflation, not how the exchange rate moved. Having said that, the exchange rate does pass through to your everyday prices in two ways. - Direct: when you buy imported products like whey protein, electronics, or olive oil. - Indirect: through crude oil. India imports 85% of its oil. Oil feeds into diesel. Diesel feeds into transport. Transport feeds into the price of everything. How much of this actually shows up as inflation? Economists have a word for it: exchange rate pass-through. There is an article on the RBI website on the same. The finding: for every 10% fall in the rupee, inflation goes up by about 0.7%. It passes through, but not as dramatically as most people fear. How to reduce the possible effects of rupee depreciation on our investments?

Super excited (and SUPER nervous!) to be leading this workshop on designing data stories for the typical mobile-first reader. If you have any questions about what this workshop will cover, dm me! See you at #VizChitra2026!

Our data work won an award. Thanks @vrsrini for leading the effort! Digging into SIR data for Bihar was a mammoth task, so this is really special. Onward and upward!

My take on @_KarenHao's Empire of AI, @dwarkesh_sp's The Scaling Era and @Max_Fisher's The Chaos Machine taken together on defining intelligence and tech bros' God complex. Does scale always = progress? thehindu.com/todays-paper/t…

Economists use a concept called the sacrifice ratio which measures the loss in economic output for every percentage point of inflation tackled. All three central banks raised rates and brought inflation down, but the consequences varied sharply. thehindu.com/data/the-cost-…

@LGIndia bought a fridge less than a year ago and it has stopped working now in the middle of this unbearable heat. Your local reps in Chennai are not being responsive to our calls for a service request. Could you help, please?

The world is witnessing the next phase of social media’s expansion, not into new geographies or devices, but into death itself. I write for @the_hindu on @Meta patenting tech to impersonate the dead. thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/…

apart from the skills stuff, there's some really cool personas and recipes like it-admin, exec-assistant, and forward-labeled-emails *so much* more than expected, noice!

I'm not even a political person but WTF YOUR COUNTRY LITERALLY MADE A HUGE JUMP IN AI TODAY WE HAD A DEEPSEEK MOMENT But yes pls highlight the one moment out of 100000 moments where we failed I don't think this party is worthy to even be called an opposition, because the opposition should think for bettering the country never voting for them.

A labor of love. Do read and let us know what you all think!
