Ugh. SO MUCH big talk about climate action, but such limited urgency in our systems. No wonder heart breaks and depression are so common with people who passionately undertake this work. 😭😭

Hi @INOXMovies @PicturesPVR why would you ask people to deposit expensive items like cameras & laptops when coming to watch films? Ridiculous. And no thanks for wasting my money. Y'all should be announcing this when selling tickets to customers, & not in fine print or something.

@DearthOfSid Congratulations brother :)

Did a thing ✨

Oh wow, just found out that the Mumbai Metro Aqua Line 3 station area maps are made with #OpenStreetMap data 🤗 Have personally drawn many of the roads in this area over 15 years ago and now it’s out in the streets! This is huge for @osm_in @openstreetmap 👏👏

@rednivaram @GoogleIndia @googlemaps Thanks, Ravinder! We'll soon share our maps openly of auto routes in Kolkata. Will be great if @GoogleIndia @googlemaps can include it as options inside the app!

@GoogleIndia @googlemaps Can you please take the data of shared auto routes & put it up on Google Maps? You provide auto details for Bengaluru in a different midel. @sidagarwal we discussed the other day...and you told me about shared auto routes #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">shareautos.in/2022/07/popula…

Reminder that the much touted warehouse expansion & market penetration by companies like Grofers / Blinkit was built on bad faith behaviour where they used local stores to capture market, & then moved on with the customers, burning VC money. Don't @ me with free market bullshit!

Stand with the workers against exploitation ✊

BUT THEY CREATE JOB FOR JOBLESS - - They are not jobs as they have no fixed hours. They have no social security. There is no minimum wages. HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM CONSTRUCTION WORKERS - - There are laws in place for construction workers. Construction workers have a fixed scope of work & fixed geography. Construction workers are only paid for their labour & skill. They don’t use their asset to work, Unlike gig workers who use their petrol, bikes & phone data BUT THESE COMPANIES ARE NOT PROFITABLE YET SO WHY THE REGULATION - - Exactly if these companies are loss making while oppressing workers, How much more they will have to exploit workers to get profitable. BUT THEY MAKE MORE THAN WHAT THEY WOULD MAKE IN THEIR VILLAGE - - They endure city expenses for basic needs like rent, health, education & pay city prices for essentials like food,water & electricity. There is no conclusive way of saying that they are doing better in the cities. WE MUST ALL TIP THEM WELL. - Sure. What’s the ideal tip for facing 365 days of pollution, 90 Days of rain, 90 Days of summer & 90 days of Winter. For fuel, data & maintaining their Vehicle. I’ve tried to answer popular questions that lead the good people using quick commerce to ignore the issues of “Gig Workers”

@PaulSalopek Love this so much, Paul! Thank you for sharing :)

You’d think (wrongly) that millions of footsteps would improve rhythm. Walking partners Yuval Ben-Ami & Deniz Kilic attempt “Urfa'nın Etrafı"—a folk song—in a cheap hotel in Turkey in 2014. Yuval on guitar, Deniz doing vocals, & me on a waste-bin drum. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7jGQpO…

The telco lobby is quietly pushing India towards mass surveillance. SIM Binding, GPS tracking, and if all this was not enough- an attack on net neutrality.

Shocking! RTI amendments through the back door! SHANTI Bill empowers central government to create new categories of information which will be exempt from disclosure under the RTI Act. This completely destroys the RTI framework. Huge blow to sunshine law! #SaveRTI

@we4earth Thank you bhai. This award is as much yours as it is mine. :)

Congratulations Sid for getting Sanctuary Asia Wildlife Service Award 2025. You are really putting dedicated and innovative efforts in understanding, documenting and protecting Indian rivers ecosystem, riverine communities.

The SLCB tunnel collapse in Feb 2025 is among worst dam-tunnel disaster this year in India. Nearly 10 months after the disaster, there is no official report probing the reasons & addressing the concerns over inadequate geological, geotechnical inspections. sandrp.in/2025/12/14/feb…

🏞️ As we deepen our work with @indiasandwatch, we see sediments from rivers & policies. 📕Join us in protecting our sediments from rampant sand mining! 🔗 Check out the toolkits at - veditum.org/toolkits #Climate #Rivers #Environment #Governance @sidagarwal

Such liars at @IndiGo6E. They keep doing PR about full refunds etc, and then messages like this land in my inbox "Flight Partially Cancelled & Refunded:" Am I supposed to let my parents sit hours at the airport just because of your mess? And now run behind you for refunds? Thoo
