Got the kindest editorial response from a journal editor who reassured me that it will be most likely a revision and not a rejection. Even if this becomes a rejection (by some luck), I am grateful that my first journal article submission received generosity.

Very happy to talk about my work particularly what it means to study an educational institution with Dr Simran Luthra! Link to register: shorturl.at/UU72g

Remembering this article on cafe dissensus writing in academia issue where a scholar wrote about the poetry she wrote while writing her thesis for fifteen minutes a day! Cheering you on in the same spirit!

Watching the emails that I label as rejections in my inbox growing bigger than acceptances reminds me - how academia is about being rejected by everyone multiple times (supervisor, dept, potential employers, grant agencies, publcs). #tholkillabuttholpikum

This is a great list and I want to add that even if one does not have the space to be a public intellectual esp in these times, you can do what is possible in your own backyards. Be better to your students, mindful of your projections and learn to cede space.

This little and light life sketch of An Economist in a children’s magazine is beautiful tribute to this Indian economist, among the finest we have had and a model of what intellectuals should be like. A compulsory reading for the trolls who write all kinds of nonsense about him.

First person accounts / memoirs require a certain kind of depth (not necessarily time but something more).Even if it is political (the book and its author), social media reflections cannot make the book a lasting reflection. It can at best be a primer.

This is reductive and also an insult to the people who are moved to volunteer and campaign. Saying everything is- because it is liberal-dismisses how people feel. It is not easy to feel hopeful in the world we live now. So give them some credit too.

Zumba dance in a school in Kerala. To reduce academic stress and improve mental wellness, Kerala has introduced Zumba dance in schools from this academic year. The final period of each day will also now be dedicated to sports instead of academic lessons.

The 300 words per day or fifteen minutes a day for the PhD thesis does not work for menwhen I am in a flow. What I end up doing is maniacal writing without remembering to eat or move.

Wonderful! This book is a must read. I keep returning to it for the meticulous research and the creative/ attentive reading of archives.
