This feels… weird. I am accustomed to being the interviewer, not the interviewed. But here we are.

Old pal Menka Shivdasani will be steering this chat about poetry, community, the commons, reclaiming public spaces, and much else.

Come, if Sanpada is accessible for you.

Please share with friends.

Microwave scrambled egg.
Beat 1 egg with pinch of salt, pepper to taste, tsp water, tbs milk. Add slivers of cheese, stir. Smear bowl with butter. Sprinkle thyme around the bowl. Add batter. Microwave for 1 minute. If there is still liquid in the bowl, microwave in 10-second increments till done.

Khar station: swanky exteriors, clean and well-maintained platforms, but step outside and you’re navigating around recumbent cows and mounds of fresh cow dung.

How revolutionary! A railway station with ample seating for those who might want to rest their feet while waiting for a train!

Some years ago, I succumbed and temporarily set up one of those secret message things.
Got mostly spam, one confession of a crush (gratifying, but useless info), and this delight, which I saved.
Fathima is a comic genius and I would sign them up for a book contract.

For your kind attention.

(Can’t remember where I saved this from.)

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, or Transformers.

(Something I drew inspired by a little bedtime story @nilanjanaroy.bsky.social made up for @masalabai.bsky.social’s child a couple of years ago.)
