A retired school teacher retreating into a shell; an 81-year-old man having hallucinations. As India ages, families are silently coping with rising dementia incidence. India-specific research, expansion of care facilities is critical, @deepa_padma reports:indiaspend.com/cover-story/th…

#India’s approach to #ageing and #elderlycare needs a fundamental reset. Deepa Padmanaban writes frontline.thehindu.com/the-nation/pub…

Scenes from Rajmahal Vilas 2nd stage, also referred to proudly as dollars colony. Houses flooded from last night. Request immediate relief from @BBMPCOMM @bbmpcommr @BBMPSplHealth @DKShivakumar @byrathi_suresh @CMofKarnataka @siddaramaiah

A lot has been said about the Modi Government’s crackdown against NGOs. But for weeks, I tried to find out what the impact of this crackdown on the ground is. What I found: Job losses, financial distress, school dropouts and crucial amenities like hospitals shutting down. I investigate for @ContextNewsroom the price that ordinary Indians are paying, for the Modi Government’s witch-hunt against NGOs: context.news/money-power-pe…

@parthpunter @PARInetwork @CoveringClimate Congratulations Parth!

Humbled to win the prestigious Covering Climate Now Journalism Award. Deeply grateful to @PARInetwork and P Sainath for creating a space for me to do meaningful journalism. Thank you, @CoveringClimate for the honour.

Why OneHealth approaches are important

Kyasanur Forest Disease also known as Monkey Fever, once endemic to 5 districts of Karnataka, is now spreading through the Western Ghats. My report:

With laws broken, discarded, Western Ghats denuded for plantations & highways, a virus once limited to monkeys in these old-growth forests has jumped to humans via ticks on livestock & rodents. From 5 districts, cases now in 5 states, reports @deepa_padma article-14.com/post/kyasanur-…

@serena_renner @MagAwards @DPAwards @hakaimagazine @Sarah_Gilman Congratulations Serena!

I'm gonna be processing this for a while, but just want to thank @MagAwards, @DPAwards, and all my talented colleagues at @hakaimagazine and beyond for this incredible honour and career (life?) highlight 🤯 Huge thanks to @Sarah_Gilman for continuing to push this story further🙏

Do watch this brilliant response by @_YogendraYadav when the Anchor said "BJP itself is more than the entire INDIA block put together, What do you have to say about that".

@RupsaChak @CheveningFCDO Congratulations!

Going back to school. 👩‍🏫 I'm thrilled to announce that I've been selected as a Chevening Fellow by the British High Commission. I will spend this summer studying UK's National Health System at the University of Westminster in London. #Chevening @CheveningFCDO

@Kamal_t Bangalore has hit 40 C, which I never imagined.

Wow, it feels like I'm living in the world's biggest furnace or did we just hurtle into the eye of the sun? Either way, semma hot machi.

@CatizenKane Thank you for saving him. Such a cutie. Please ensure he is neutered before handing him over.

While we love him to bits and wish we could keep him, we need to make room for other rescues. And though it breaks our hearts to give him up, Bruno needs a forever home. If you or anyone you know can give him the home he deserves, DM me. He will change your life.

Bruno's legs have healed fully. Incredibly, despite all the suffering, he is gentle and loving to a fault. He does not bark at other dogs, is comfortable and gentle around cats, and only raises his voice at humans when he can't contain his excitement around meal times.

@parthpunter @onewm Congratulations Parth!

Delighted and humbled I have been named in the longlist of One World Media awards. Of the entries they got from 117 countries, lucky to be among the 10 journalists who were named in the New Voice Award category. @onewm oneworldmedia.org.uk/awards/longlis…
