What a paper!
As a global south scholar in global north university researching in global south, this has been very insightful to reflect on my conceptualisation of the ‘field’.
Salute to this phenomenal piece of writing!

Is that some baori/bavdee (traditional/olderdugwell) from Ahmedabad? Groundwater featuring in the Cricket World Cup #groundwater #CWC23Final
All my fieldwork, used it for about 50 odd times last year. Not a single issue in those rides
Been travelling to Edinburgh for a year nw. Not a single ride that been normal. Cancelled-delayed-bus rep-no driver- track issue. #UKrail #IndianRailways
Gives me anxiety everytime
nothing here to see, Barmy army being in awe of the efficiency of the @RailMinIndia given the conditions back home.

Going to another country, not learning the language, not embracing the local culture and sticking to your own traditions, is actually the most British thing you can do.
"They are coming from abroad, they are not learning the language, they're not embracing British values."
Suella Braverman says there are "many towns and cities" in the UK where integration hasn't worked.

M. S. Swaminathan -- agricultural scientist, humanitarian & the main architect of the green revolution passed away today at the age of 98.
"If agriculture goes wrong, nothing else will have a chance to go right," he once said
And the influence of his work spanned the globe 🧵

If one wants to illustrate economics of religion - this is a very useful video about price and quality discrimination in monopoly supply of religious services.
It is clear that this is a difficult year. While the government may save itself to call this a drought for legal and administrative reasons, there is no shying away that it will be a difficult year #Maharashtra #Marathi #waterscarcity #drought #groundwater

no parent, I repeat no parent should have to bear such news. Terrible. Reminded me of one famous doctor in Mumbai who was washed away in the rains though such a manhole. His body was found far away near Worli seaface
#HyderabadRains
Four year old Mithun Reddy gets swallowed by the city’s crumbling infrastructure. Mithun was playing at his house when he fell into an open manhole at 11am today. Incident happened at Mechal, Pragathi Nagar, NRI Colony. They found his body at Nizampet, but was washed away before they could take him out. Search is still on for the child’s remains. Heart goes out to his family, hope they find strength.

Don't know why, but this reminded me of the everyday struggle of travelling in local trains of Mumbai.
and add to that: rhyming dialogues!
will be sharing my bit of learning in this interesting session mostly around 'why categorising (ground)water is a messy affair' & d value of 'thinking with flows' by attending to practices of #groundwater from semi-arid regions of Maharashtra, India
Are you participating in #DKG23 @dkg2023 ?
Join the @regulateproject-team for the lightning session “Groundwater Geographies”, discussing multiple perspectives on the (in)visible resource groundwater.

Inter basin transfers for improving groundwater 'recharge'. That too from the poor quality Mula Mutha downstream of Pune.

Don't know about the population but my respect for her has dwindled by 95 % for sure.
But I do not blame her/them.
I believe this is what happens when we put the 'experts' in a chair & ask them difficult questions forgetting that expertise is a niche
The paradox of expertise
Speaking on a World Economic Forum panel, UN "Messenger of Peace", Jane Goodall, advocates reducing the global population down to 450 million—a 95% reduction from today's population:
"We cannot hide away from human population growth. Because, you know, it underlies so many of the other problems. All these things we talk about wouldn't be a problem if there was the size of population that there was 500 years ago."
