Update on ‘Agra’, the film: We’re being denied shows because of the so called ‘big blockbusters’ and because small films ‘don’t fit into’ multiplex chain programming. It’s up to you the audience now! Speak up and tag the chains. Say that you want to see the film!

“The 1959 Revolution marked a break from post-1804 fantasies of US designs on Cuba becoming part of the US, shifting the island toward sovereignty — a move the US found unacceptable.” @vijayprashad to me in @jacobin on Chomsky’s & his new book ON CUBA 👇👇👇
For over six decades, Cuba has withstood US sanctions and pressure. Noam Chomsky and Vijay Prashad's latest work shows how the embargo is less a response to Cuba’s policies than a long-term effort to undermine its sovereignty and revolutionary ideals.

The busiest collector of Nusrat memorabilia, Sandeep was the subject of my piece published some Sundays ago in The Hindu. Pegged to the release of the lost album Chain of Light. ICYMI, do read about a borderless devotion that has intensified from hobby to passion to madness.

Sandeep (Sonu), a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan superfan, presents this tasveer to as many people as he can. He brought me one all the way from Moga to Mumbai! "Teri yaad ibadat meri" is the Punjabi qawwali referenced here. Memories of Nusrat saab are Sandeep's prayer.

Covid made showing properties through video common practice for brokers. Soon housing search portals added this feature. Now developers are roping in realty influencers to tour their projects, and clients across geographies are DM-ing with interest.

Small brokers have been hitting big numbers as content creators, with high-end homes inviting both demand and curiosity. Their piece of the internet has dizzy virtual walkthroughs, some myth-busting, singsong catchphrases, and prices where the zeros are loud.

Net neutrality. The complex but important idea that makes the internet the wonderful place it is. In 2016, India introduced one of the most progressive regulations to protect the idea that all data on the internet should be treated the same. 🧵
