I've tried meditation, I've tried chanting. I strongly recommend staring at trees

Just trying out @usefaff and wondering about the whole "end of interfaces" idea. My parents are over 80 and it's hard for them to navigate many phone UIs. No one's designing for them either. A text-interface inside Whatsapp is exactly what they need.

The @TOIIndiaNews has plagiarised my recent article NPR, republishing a terrible AI version of it. After I complained, the article was taken down hastily. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

Think you know Gandhi Bazaar? Think again! The bustling market street is lined with green canopies. These trees have stories to tell, stories entwined with local lore and history. Learn more this Saturday on our: 🌿Botany in the Bazaar🌿 walk

What can the trees tell us about Gandhi Bazaar and Basavanagudi? Between the bustle of the market and familiar eateries, is tucked away a fascinating story you don't usually see--and it's right above...

For my Diwali e-card this year, the rather unknown but absolutely beautiful flower of the Tea-bush, Camellia sinensis. Picture taken last year in a tea-estate in Gudalur.

i know social media makes it seem like there is just one way to celebrate a day & if you aren't ticking certain checkboxes, you're not doing it right. So this is a gentle reminder to all those who don't seem to fit, you do you and don't let anyone make you feel any lesser for it.

Penguin India announces the acquisition of Bengaluru by Ramjee Chandran, reputed journalist and author. The book tells the story of how the city came to exist in a place that, at first, seemed to have little reason for one. It will be published by Penguin in November 2026.

If you're from/have a vote in Bengaluru in any district, check out eci-lookup.vercel.app I made it for a super easy look up by your voter-id instead of having to download 40 PDFs after having to know your district and assembly constituency etc.etc . 😊 Will do more soon.

I see Garden City Walks as a kind of "anti-hustle" movement. A pocket of time where we walk slowly, we do *not* complete 10K steps. Instead, we stop, look up, look close. On this week's MG Road walk, we will relive the founding of the Garden City... 🧵1/4

A family of three walking through a green arch--a woman, man and child with an umbrella for the light rain. They are on MG Road Boulevard. On one side are canopies of bamboo, on the other side the pillars of the metro.

And, of course, we'll do on our walks what my co-founder Radha and I love best--gasp at the beauty of not just flowers but seedpods and leaf-shapes. We can be curious children again. If this sounds interesting, do join us! Link below⬇️ 🧵4/4
