@HertzBarry @GlobeArts Always hard to make the argument for the business of arts. Nicely done @HertzBarry Fingers crossed we don't end up with endless parking lots.

Despite calling to track/re-rate a package almost every day since Mar 22 @UPS has abandoned the package I was supposed to receive. Not sure whom to call since calls always go to same call center - not in North America. So frustrating to know my package is in some facility Markham

Great retrospective of Deepa’s work starting this Friday at TIFF! Loved this interview with @aparita for the Globe and Mail.

Like many people, I try and avoid social media. But even I'd seen those posts about *Indian immigrants* in Canada. Often I'd scroll away. But sometimes I'd watch. But it's important to know what's being said. This piece for @TheLocal_TO helped sort thoughts I'm still processing.

For The Local, @aparita examines what’s fueling a recent wave of online hate targeting Indian immigrants. She finds a vicious cycle of misinformation, hate mongering, and poor policy choices. thelocal.to/anti-indian-ra…

Annoying to have to take to public shaming. But hey @makemytrip Trying to get a hold of customer service to resolve a refund that's still not made. The 15 days date given - Dec 6 - has long gone. What gives? Do you figure that customers will just give up in frustration?

@SamDalrymple123 I'll be in Kumaon next week. But likely won't run into you in the mountains. Thanks for the book suggestion in your posts. Will see if I can find Nachiket's book. And will read your Substack at leisure.

I’m currently in a small village outside Ranikhet in the foothills of the Himalayas, and for the past week I have been reading incessently on the history of Kumaon.

Looking forward to this conversation with @crystallyn We'll talk Dali, Greek mythology and decadent food - among other things. @torontolibrary

Almost made me spit my tea @davidcommon Ground beef *in* - or really anywhere near - pancakes?!

@HertzBarry @onlylucy @redvineski As someone who went to Universal Language instead, can report it was all sorts of Canadian quirky brilliant. 👌🏼
English
MATT AND MARA: Tender, hilarious work from @redvineski, who continues to dig into broken but not shattered people, sifting for shards. Deragh Campbell gives bravest performance of year, and not only b/c she drinks water straight from Yonge-Dundas Square sidewalk fountain. #TIFF24

@HertzBarry @manori_r I'm the Grinch who resolutely sits as other people around me stand up and clap for mediocre performances. And get delicious satisfaction.

A number of international students turned pop stars—@apdhillxn, @Shubhworldwide, and others—“are developing a unique style and sound that are resonating with fans on both sides of the globe,” writes @aparita.

@carlzoilus Oh! Looking forward to reading your piece. What fantastic company to be in. Seriously.
English
Fascinating feature by @aparita Bhandari. Sangha's story is a window into the thriving Punjabi-Canadian arts scene in the GTA - as well as non-moneyed international-student experience here. Part of The Local's Art + Money series, in which I'll have a piece later this week.

Harkirat Sangha arrived in Ontario as a 17-year-old international student struggling to pay his tuition. Singing about his experience helped launch him to pop stardom. thelocal.to/international-…

Thank you so much for this honour! Such a great team effort @nickhunebrown @wencyleung @taimhuynh And shout-out to @TheLocal_TO for providing space for this story. Appreciated this opportunity to dive into the music and lives of #punjabi #canadian artists, international students

PIECE OF THE WEEK: Harkirat Sangha came to Canada to study and ended up driving trucks. He’s now finding fame and fortune singing about it. buff.ly/3U3wuKF (@TheLocal_TO @aparita)
English
But there are also stories of hope, resilience, and joy. When @TheLocal_TO put a call out for arts stories, I immediately knew which story I wanted to pitch. Many thanks to @nickhunebrown for commissioning, @wencyleung for editorial oversight. Now off to bop to Harkirat's music.

I held on to that tape forever. (Still have it, in fact.) I tried my luck elsewhere. No go. The story stayed in my mind. I still check in with some of those students I'd interviewed back then. Over the years, I have heard several more stories. Some of them are truly tragic.
English
The story behind the story. (A thread) A decade ago, I started noticing groups of young men at the #ttc bus stop I use most often. They seemed barely out of high school, recent immigrants from India, speaking Punjabi or Hindi. I was curious. A new wave of migration from India?
