This is Bombay. Took a rick from Andheri Station to home. Meter read Rs 54. Gave Rs 100 plus Rs 5 coin to the rick driver. He first handed over Re 1 followed by Rs 50 currency. भागते दौड़ते इंसानों के समंदर से भरी इस महानगरी पर रोज़ मेरा दिल आ जाता है। Honesty हो तो बंबई जैसी!

In April 2016, while reporting one of the worst #droughts in #Marathwada #Maharashtra , I came across this well in a village in #Latur . Women spent whole day inside the well, waiting for water to appear. It took hours to fill 1 pot using a small tumbler. Drought is back again.

In a city where temperature in summer touches 50°C, the obsession to build glass buildings is madness. And it isn’t just this building. ‘Swanky’ Gurgaon is a masterclass on how NOT to build a city. But I won’t be surprised if many of these glass buildings are rated as ‘green’.

Early indications are that accuracy of early warnings from @Indiametdept & effective evacuation of 1.1 million people in Odisha have saved many lives as #CycloneFani weakens but remains a threat as it moves slowly inland. No storm surge reported as yet. @ndmaindia #GP2019Geneva

Start your Tuesday with this uplifting story from a fishing village in Tamil Nadu where 5 fisherwomen came together to set up a restaurant and have freed their husbands of debt. Their vatha kuzhambu & rava kesari is delicious, I am told :) @GaonConnectionE

I was a young girl, may be 9 or 10yo, when I read this ‘Talisman’ printed in all my NCERT school text books. Back then never really understand its meaning though learnt it by heart. Now, as an adult, and in my early 40s, this is what makes sense the most. #GandhiJayanti

While I was busy finishing writing a report, the 13yo and 8yo baked this garlic bread. Right from the scratch😱. I don’t even bake cakes and look at the guys! I must have done something right in life 😄

अगर आप ख़ुदा को खोज रहे हैं तो मुम्बई का रुख़ करें क्योंकि यहाँ हर तरफ़ ख़ुदा ही ख़ुदा है रोड ख़ुदा है, फ़्लाइओवर ख़ुदा है, फुटपाथ ख़ुदा है, मेट्रो ख़ुदा है और हर नाला भी ख़ुदा है।

Because the 8yo has come home. And it’s monsoon evening. Hot and crisp alu tikkiyaan with grated carrot, onion and green peas.

A fascinating story! People in Odisha sail miniature boats in water bodies on #KartikPurnima . Why? Coz historically traders from Odisha would set out to sea on boats to Java, Sumatra, Bali, & Middle East countries on Kartik Purnima :-) @GaonConnectionE 🔗

I don’t have a TV at home. Can anyone let know if any of the news channels are reporting from Bihar on the deaths of 62 children due to suspected encephalitis outbreak? Thanks.
