Tambe marrying Lokhande is Alloying.
Lokhande marrying Pitale is brazing
Khote marrying Khare is cheating.
Kale marrying Gore is contrasting.
Hiwale marrying Unhale is Global warming.
But Wagh marrying Waghmare is pure suicide!

This might be the funniest commercial I've seen in a very long time. Its for the jewelry section of JC Penny's and it is priceless. They really sunk some money into it. I guess they do good sales there. I know that im buying my very special lady's ring at a better known jewelry store than JC's 🤣🤣🤣💍

Shreya Ghoshal makes history! The highest peak monthly listeners ever for an Indian artist on Spotify - 56.27 million! And she also joined the Recording Academy as an official voting member for the 69th Grammy Awards.
This makes me so happy as a singer and as a woman. A beautiful win for talent and true musicianship in a heavily male dominated industry! ✊🎉❤️

Every year on Oct 15, I think, with some sadness, about an Indian cricketer and tennis player (and Cambridge Blue) who just vanished after stepping out of his home in Adyar in Madras.
Wrote about him last year.

The kind of nerdy nonsense that we all need.
It's the 145th birth anniversary of PG Wodehouse.
In one of the many absurd bits of trivia that make up my professional and personal life, I realised that Sachin Tendulkar doesn't have a single innings of 145 in international cricket. He doesn't even have an innings where he's faced 145 balls.
He has one knock where he has batted for 145 minutes: That was 98 off 75 balls vs Pakistan in Centurion, World Cup 2003. One of his most iconic innings of all time.
If he had to have just one association with 145, that's not a bad one, eh?
To all those whose lives Wodehouse has affected, he's always called The Master.
I needed to find a cricketing connect between his 145th birthday and the other master who shaped part of my childhood. It gives me unreasonable joy to find one that ties so specifically - within this absurdity of finding a connect at all - to such an indelible cricketing memory.

I write flash fiction and short stories that many of you hv read and enjoyed. I have completed my first novel, spanning 70 years from 1954 to 2024 and has elements of history, comic horror, mystery, tragedy and a bit of magic realism. Looking for a literary agent or a publisher.

Dear protestors, since you’re being filmed without your consent, try using make-up to dodge surveillance/facial recognition cameras.
Here’s a tutorial.
(Draw an extra eye, a pair of lips, use colour to draw camouflage on your skin, use concealer to cover brows if need be. Get creative, help others with make-up.)
Be safe, stay hydrated, stay strong.
Girls, carry pepper spray.
BULLIES ARE ALWAYS COWARDS, don’t forget.
Stay peaceful,
don’t be silent,
don’t be violent.
❤️

European Bee-eaters.
Saw about 150 of these amazing migratory birds, during the weekend.
A long-awaited lifer, finally done!

No sporting event has ever had me reach for the phone with as much excitement and trepidation the moment I wake up as #jantarmantar has.

I want to draw your attention to a unique English magazine that carries works of writers in Indian languages translated into English. Created by the author of Ghachar Ghochar, @VivekShanbhag0, The Hyphen makes you feel you are reading Indians in their mother tongue you never knew you knew. It's in print and

Seems about right that Charles Chaplin is in this picture. The Great Dictator 3 is the working title.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it late at nigh, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic.

Today, on the birthday of PARI co-founder Sonya Gill, the People's Archive of Rural India is launching a Senior Fellowship of Rs. 5 lakh for women journalists and filmmakers, in honour of her work.
Sonya worked for four decades for Women’s Rights with the All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA). She remained very active even as she battled multiple rounds of cancer.
Her work was rooted in the lives and struggles of everyday people, particularly working-class women.
Her passing on August 25 robbed the women's movement of a fine leader - and me of my beloved life partner of 40 years.
This is a Senior Fellowship for women reporters/film makers. They are expected to produce 10 field reports / one or more documentary films across rural India, over a period of 1-2 years. The Fellowship will cover Women’s Rights, including Women’s Labour, Livelihoods, Health, Justice – and more.
Will update you with further information soon as we can.
