Give generously , if you can. These are good people doing good work.

Come with a memory, a story, a message about Abhiyan Humane, as his students and colleagues at Nalanda remember and celebrate his life on March 17.

Sick and tired of planning what to cook each week?
I'm working on a possible solution: An auto-generated menu. In order to build it, I need a large database of dishes for it to draw upon. Please fill this form and help me make our lives easier?

After much procrastination, I finally got around to writing about what our move from Bombay to all-over-the-place has been like.

Media's cousin, PR, may be on the verge of a #MeToo explosion too.
Here's one of the first - naming the founder of the agency that is now 2020 MSL.

What industry does PR fall under - it is part of the media industry - I will give a name #SunilAgarwal from 20:20Media now MSL,there were women in the team who stood by him and blamed the girl...I feel ashamed to have looked up & worshiped Sunil my first manager...

Read Priya Ramani's husband on what kind of courage it takes to take on a powerful male sexual predator & call him out in our society. Priya & many other women have picked up that courage & we must thank & support them amp.scroll.in/article/898415…

A 16th woman has spoken out about sexual harassment at the hands of MJ Akbar. "We are not confused, conflicted or vulnerable any more. You know who we are. You’ll recognise us when you see us at the barricades." scroll.in/article/898460/mj-… via @scroll_in

Bangalore and Madras,
Young women who have left ad agencies with toxic environments are looking for work. Can you take a leaf out of Bombay and reply to this thread if you have jobs in offer?
Same for yoga centres (beautiful story here, I'll tell you later) and journalists.

Hi @dna, still waiting on a response about your investigations.
Are you just waiting for this all to play out, while you keep silent and pretend to report on #MeToo
happening everywhere else?
Well, I'm going to remind you. Every. Freaking. Day
Hi @dna, do you want to answer for how you ruined due process not only for me but for others?
I mean flying down to the Bombay office to convince someone not to file a complaint is a new low, even for you.

Meanwhile, 97 advocates from a top powerful law firm to defend MoS MEA MJ Akbar against sexual harassment allegations as he files criminal defamation suit against journalist Priya Ramani. Journalists in India need to fight back this intimidation. #MeToo

My mother asked me today if anyone has done anything bad to me. “Anyone, male or female, even if it’s our relatives, or anyone at your workplace/bosses”.
This is a good development 🙏 #metoo
I hope at the very least this movement leads to all parents talking to their children.

We're making public a list of lawyers who have come forward to do pro bono work to assist women who've spoken up about their #MeToo experiences, if they should need it. Share widely so it reaches those not in the online space. The list will be updated. docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
