My least favourite Ray, but still, this was nice to watch.

When Two legends unite! Watch as Satyajit Ray directs a scene from 'Chiriyakhana', in this rare clip from a documentary about the auteur's life and work. Video credits go to the rightful owner.



Learn about this warm, welcoming space if you don't know already.

This is a follow up to the dispatch published on 20th July. We chose to publish this piece without thorough fact-checking due to the urgency of the situation, the internet blackout, and news reports that do not correspond with eye witness accounts. 2/3 saaganthology.com/article/update…

Yes, we are there:"In fact, some areas of India may become the first places on earth to be exposed to heatwaves so extreme that humans will not be able to survive them without air conditioning or other types of cooling, according to a 2020 study by the consulting group McKinsey."

"It was over in half an hour." While reporting on a New Delhi heatwave, @KhandekarOmkar & I found that two babies died on the hottest days. They were homeless, unreported, unsung and one, unnamed. Climate change does not impact us equally. For @NPR: npr.org/sections/goats…



Will miss this man.

During the Vietnam War, Donald Sutherland, along with Jane Fonda and the FTA troupe, organized an antiwar tour to counter Bob Hope's pro-war tour. It showed solidarity with a movement of G.I. resisters and traveled to various U.S. military bases. RIP.



Beautiful meditations on our relationship with water.

My essay in the @IndianExpress about the necessity of the sound of water -- and rains -- to human life: indianexpress.com/article/opinio… (When @Paromita_Ch asked me to write this, she might have been hoping for rain ... I hope it rains where it is necessary now.)
