October 29, 2022

As soon as Rishi Sunak was named the new Prime Minister of England, I prepared myself for the onslaught of cringe-worthy celebrations and tweets.

Foot Touch

October 1, 2022

As media coverage of Dasara began, an old photograph made headlines. A photograph from 2019 of Sudha Murty touching Pramoda Devi Wadiyar’s feet made the news.
