The end of May in Delhi. June creeping in... What do people even do in a city where its heat feels like punishment for ambition? You step out and the air itself wants you dead. So you wander into places with ACs. Or you stay in, scroll, sulk, and think about leaving, then don’t.

There are exactly two times a year when the Delhi air tries to kill you. Once with the choking winter pollution, and again with the brutal summer heat. Survival really is a full-time job here. 😭😭😭😭😭 #Delhi

It’s unacceptable that women in India still have to roam the streets for hours just to find a public restroom. A country aiming for global economic stature.

Kisan Credit Cards were meant for farming needs. Instead, they’re being used to pay for surgeries, school fees and even desperate dowry demands. In rural India, easy farm credit is fast turning into a lifelong debt crisis. My story from the ground: google.com/amp/s/www.alja…

"NO DOWRY means NO GROOM": KCC was supposed to grow wheat and sugarcane, not fund desperate dowry demands. But in rural India, money goes where the emergency is. Time for Ministry of Finance & Agriculture INDIA to fix the cracks. Credit meant for crops must not become crisis funds. Narendra Modi

This is exactly what happens when farmers are denied the income he deserves. Farm credit only pushes them deeper into a debt trap. Sometimes I wonder why can't mainline economists stand up and question the reliance on more credit for farmers? Ismat Ara

True, Kisan Credit Cards (KCC) are for input costs & other farm related expenses, but with dipping farm incomes and poor crop realisations, with no way out, farmers have no choice but to use the KCC to fund for family related expenses, emergency; farmers simply are out of options
