The last story I tell will be about a late summer day. A slight wind. Cool. I am sitting on a park bench in San Francisco on a hill overlooking the Pacific. The ocean is alive for ever and ever. And so am I — From my book Small Talk snakenationbooks.store/product/small-…

@johnguzlowski This is such a beauty!

#longthread 👇 The @WHO issued a Medical Product Alert a couple of days back about DEG poisoning and death of over 60 children in Gambia. cdn.who.int/media/docs/def… This thread documents the persistent, callous, unaccountable and nonchalant attitude of every #publichealth 1/n

@johnguzlowski You're kidding me - right?

@arvindpoet I remember. My mom and dad hid behind a tree. They wanted to get a sad face. Then they jumped out and took the picture. In a refugee camp in Germany 1951

Me at 23. New York.

@johnguzlowski :) Wonder what you were doing when this picture was taken,

@arvindpoet You know, it may be Keanu!

@johnguzlowski Thanks a ton, John!

पहले अच्छा था। दिल का दर्द दिल में टिका रहता था। अब तुम्हारी तरह ये भी एक जगह नहीं टिकता। कभी सर को चढ़ जाता है, कभी कमर को खिसक जाता है कभी घुटनों में ठहर जाता है। पर अब दिल में नहीं लौटता। ~ Arvind Joshi @arvindpoet

@TheVikramThapa Thank you, Vicky. I just saw this, and typical of me, a little too late. Love.

So in the last 2 days, 2 days of nationwide lockdown, we have done just 2000 tests! At this rate you will have to lock us down forever! People won't have an issue to cooperate @narendramodi, provided you and your government do your job!

I don’t know where this video is from or why it showed up in my -#whatsappwonderbox but the timing is sweet. Clearly a TGIF mood at the police station! What better than Harry Belafonte’s voice to put you in a weekend mood...

Shame BJP. Shame.

Translation - the poor, pensioners, students, daily wagers who were forced into banking system, who will never be able to maintain Rs.3000-5000 are penalised by banks, who squander crores of money to corporations (latest NPA is 10 lakh crores, after the write off of 5 L cr) 1/2

Son, I was a lecturer at the Allahabad Univ in 1966. JNU came into being three years later in 1969.🙃

This is a Gap Year I wish I had! Dakshinmurthy Krishna Kumar from Mysore left his banking job and travelled with his mom on a scooter. A total of 48100 KMs. The reason? His mother had not stepped out of her town & he wished to show her India! #TuesdayMotivation
