This is a searing and beautiful piece of writing. Gave me pause and a lot to think about today. Not sure if the author - an IPS officer is on X - but thank you for this timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…
India must do better with palliative care. Doctors here regularly refuse pain-killers for fear of addiction, leaving patients who need pain-alleviation in the lurch. I've been refused pain-killers after very painful biopsy, at a well-regarded hospital.
Thank you @docranjana

It is too hot for a cooked lunch, so it’s a chilled bowl of mangoes, with a side of spook.

Big cheer for @GhostsofBengal for her translation of Bibhutibhushan's spooky stories in 'Taranath Tantrik', & Jerry Pinto for his translation of Narayan Surve's powerful poetry in 'In That Mill, I Too Was Forged'.
I need to talk to adults (18+) who have been patients at large #Indian #hospitals, in the last (up to) 5 years. All ages, genders, and locations please. No medical stuff, this is just a very basic #health #communication study.

Speaking to #TheIndianExpress, the younger woman, one of two women that were paraded naked and sexually assaulted in #Manipur, said: “The police were there with the mob which was attacking our village. The police picked us up from near home, and took us a little away from the village and left us on the road with the mob. We were given to them by police.”

Last year I read Taranath Tantrik published by @speakingtiger14 & was mesmerized by the stories. This year I got to meet the translator @GhostsofBengal at the International Kolkata Book Fair.

So good!
Just heard that Dolly Roy of Dolly's Tea Shop in Dakshinapan, Kolkata, passed on. Dolly's #icedtea on summer evenings was such a part of my youth. Sitting in traffic half the country away, suddenly sad.
