Another covid death in the family. Or should I say death due to lack of beds? We struggled for a bed & when we got an ICU bed it was too late. My 8-year-old nephew is playing with his cars & we don’t know how to break it to him. Pray for us.
Man: My daughter is getting married and I need to book rooms at your hotel for the wedding guests.
Receptionist at hotel desk: Sorry sir, all our rooms have been booked by politicians. Why don't you check the Vidhan Soudha ?

If love is blind,then marriage is holding up a magnifying glass in bright sunlight, seeing all the flaws,while managing to set your partner on fire.
Raise a glass to the moms rearing a child they have not accounted for,produced,or adopted-their husbands
Thousands of seniors sheltered in old age homes have not been vaccinated because they don't have Aadhaar cards. Vaccines are for all and not just for those with ID cards, say activists and those in Eldercare
Here's a heart warming story of an interfaith couple, Mubashera & Sreenivas, that cooks for & feeds about 100 homeless people in

to me after I interviewed him in 1998. A friendship that began after the interview, contd over the years, even tho we met rarely. I will miss you, my dear friend. Heaven is a better place with you.
I can't explain how nice it is to see newspapers on my doorstep. Especially when you work in one, have been going into office everyday during the lockdown, see the team bring out an edition despite all odds... Yay to everyone in the chain who made this possible.

One of the things I love abt
#Bengaluru
- The Rahmath group is inviting abt 100 non-Muslims to visit the 170-year-old Modi Masjid on Sunday, take a guided tour, understand what happens there, ask Qs & round it off w lunch (veg & non-veg). My story in next tweet. 1/2
I'm tired of digital devices consuming every aspect of my life. I'm starting a series of line drawings called

1) Why are Indian docs prescribing it? 2) And then asking patients' families to procure it when the hospitals themselves don't have supply? 3) How are ordinary people supposed to get it?
San Francisco International airport bans single-use plastic bottles. Passengers will have to drink from water fountains / bring their reusable bottles / buy airport-approved glass or aluminium water bottles.

We spoke to the Police Commissioner
@deepolice12
about police shutting down essential services. He assured us he would look into it. Pls let us know if you're facing problems.

@abijur
I spoke to the city's event managers, architects, retailers to see if
#Bengaluru
can leverage its great weather & convert its shopping hubs to pedestrian-only streets to promote local businesses. Like
#TelAviv
has done.

We have one-sixth of the world's population and just 2 vaccines to fight a pandemic. India is right to ask for bridging data. But in cases of an ALL-CAPS emergency like Covid, we need to have the flexibility to make exceptions.

A friend travelled from B'luru to Alapuzzha recently. In his 5 days of Home Quarantine, he's got calls from an ASHA worker, the cop station, the local Panchayat member and a state appointed Counselor.

TY.
Here's why getting a jab at KC General Hospital, Malleswaram (a govt hospital), is not chaotic. There's clear communication. Volunteers manage crowds, troubleshoot & streamline processes, leaving docs to do their jobs. (Psst: volunteers are project managers and business analysts)
I'm watching a show on
@NetflixIndia
. People are touching door knobs and then touching their faces and I'm wincing and reaching out to my hand sanitizer. Will we ever be normal again?

I don't mean to send you a guilt trip but this man built a website, when he was recovering in a hospital from covid, collating all the essential info that covid patients need. Respect, Ameer-e-Mudassar.

Hands that grind masalas can also fix mixer-grinders. That's the woman at my neighbourhood electrical shop who fixes gadgets like a boss. Lost her husband to cancer 18 years ago. Now she helps her brother run the shop. 1/2
To walk by darshinis and ignore the aroma of vada, sambar and idlis, and keep an eye of the number of steps on your Garmin device, is a test in endurance.
If you know of any food delivery service in RT Nagar
