LETTING GO: that one lesson I was forced to repeatedly learn in 2017.
To those who choose to stay in my life, holding me gently & believing in me, when the road seems lonely: I offer you my sincerest gratitude.
My promise to self for 2018? To cherish all that I claim to value 💟

What does

look like?
This, in India: wherein the brilliant members of
@NWM_India
rallied together to push for the arrest of a Press Club Secretary, when he assaulted a woman journalist.
So much love for my NWMI family 💪🏾💚
The Tvm Press Club Secretary just got arrested. This happened only because a bunch of women journalists from
@NWM_India
stood together. He barged into the house of our colleague, moral policed and assualted her. If you touch one of us, we wil retaliate. No longer your fiefdom

1) Respect the words of the 35-year-olds even if you disagree with them. Screaming and shouting doesn't make you a "woke" person.
2) You're actually not that special. Work hard, learn to receive feedback, and only then maybe you can call yourself special—up to a point.

"It isn’t that I didn’t want to write about Italy & France. I wanted to, but they wouldn’t let me. I would find articles by young white Americans going to India & writing about it in
@nytimes
but I couldn’t do that in Italy, even though I’d been 50 times."

And the complete dismissal of all other humans who write for other news publications, because somehow, these 2 men consider themselves holier than every other mortal.

"Cars have increased in Mumbai, but the sealink hasn't eased traffic woes. We assume that these projects would address transport–but they don't. The

road is a real estate project, as it will increase land value because of car-only connectivity."

7:15am, Delhi Metro. Boy in black explains electric potential energy to his friend in red. My heart beats fast, remembering this torturous chapter. But he explains it so beautifully that an older co-passenger peers to understand how electricity happens in our lives

Hire people like us for reporting & not merely as "fixers". My identity—Brown, Indian, woman—ought to be viewed as an asset to make the story stand out, shine & shatter stereotypes.
Not just stories of my homeland, but global ones.
Let's shake up the game about who tells stories.

I'm on the same 300km route as a week ago, when I was robbed on the bus & lost everything that's truly irreplaceable.
I'm on that same journey now, but on a train. And I'm touched by what I'm witnessing: a young man is initiating his old parents on their first ever train journey

And, 34 for me.
Towards everyday serendipities.
Towards not giving a f*** with smiles.
Towards finding beauty in the mundane.

Don't doubt this study: I speak for myself, about the anxiety attacks I get from having suffered 2 bouts of flooding in our Bombay home.
