When you get back to #golf after a prolonged hiatus, the moment must be archived. From this morning.

Except staring at walls and think about life, this has pretty much been my everyday life for years.
Modern luxury is the ability to live peacefully. No drama. No noise. No pretending to be someone you are not. Just living a low-key slow life that actually feels like yours. Reading books. Listening to music. Staring at walls. Going for long walks. Watching classic movies. Doing meaningful work. Thinking about life and all. Feeling joy in ordinary things. Just that. That is peace.

The logo for India Biennale ’26 has some curious typographic oversights. The divider before “Design” is misaligned. The dates use closing quotation marks. Small details, but worth getting right for a national platform for art, architecture & design. @MinOfCultureGoI

When two Huangs get together, they are just huanging out.

Wide roads, proper walkways, street art, hygienic street food. If only more of #Delhi felt like this. Clean, walkable and full of little discoveries. You could spend an entire day just wandering the city.

A slice of Persia, hidden in plain sight. A café, a library and a quiet corner of Lutyens’ Delhi.

A little bit of another era, still very much alive in Lutyens’ Delhi. Old clubs, generous verandahs, high ceilings, well-worn furniture and a certain unhurried elegance.

This entire episode surrounding the takedown notices targeting @SFLCin and @internetfreedom has been one of the most bizarre developments around free speech in recent times.
SFLC.in repeatedly reached out to @X and the Delhi Police to verify the authenticity of these notices. However, our emails went undelivered, we received no official confirmation from @DelhiPolice, and the platform remained silent. SFLC.in expresses its gratitude to the Hon’ble Delhi High Court for the swift resolution. We now have written confirmation that the notices were, indeed, fake. Read about the hearing here: teapawt.net/SFLCin/status/21185901… (1/6)

It’s Diwali, and the festive buzz across Delhi’s Khan Market & Bengali Market is pretty low key. Shop owners, some of whom we’ve known for decades, admit that inflation is hurting business. These are two of Delhi’s most prominent markets. Something definitely feels off this year.

If true, this is yet another reminder that in India, the incentive to cheat seems to run from the bottom all the way to the top. Everyone is trying to outsmart, overcharge or scam everyone else. Trust has become a luxury. @santiyer
A closed sunroof should never fly off a car. Ours did, on a highway near Dhule at 80 km/h, six months after we bought our Mercedes Maybach EQS. A man on a bike behind us narrowly escaped @MercedesBenzInd @MercedesBenz @santiyer how is this acceptable? @MORTHIndia

The morning sun on my work desk. A nip in the air, a reminder that winter is approaching. So much of what I do begins and ends here. Just a little bit of sunlight makes an ordinary morning feel enough.

When survival is at stake, crime & revolution both look like opportunity. Joblessness makes young people vulnerable to those who exploit their desperation. Some find a voice in protest. Others are drawn into crime, as an easy way out to assert power. The distinction matters.

A bit confused. Why would I consider another Apple device to do what 10+ Apple devices at home already do? What new problems does it solve? Or is it just another device that one has to remember when to charge? #AppleHomeView

A six-decade-old rug at home. A memory from when my parents were posted in Fiji, from 1965–70. Some things simply stay. #home

I’m fed up with books that survive editors, proofreaders and multiple editions, cost a fortune, and yet remain riddled with errors. Nothing snatches the joy out of reading faster. #SundayReads

Our living conditions are generally poor. We don’t love travel as much as we crave escape. Live better where you live. A clean, comfortable home. Eat well. Have interests. Explore your city. Parks, cafés, museums. Staycation nearby. You won’t need to flee every long weekend.
Story of every Indian tourist at a hill station 2–3 holidays fall together → everyone rushes to the same famous spot → pays 10x for rooms, inflated taxi & food prices → spends hours stuck in traffic → then complains the place is overrated

#LikeAGirl by @Aparna is one of the loveliest books you could give young girls & boys. Excellent production, beautiful illustrations, and 56 stories of women who inspire. Bought one to gift. Now 3 in my family aged 25 to 60, are demanding their own copy. #books

To those who forward 10 random videos on WhatsApp every morning: Thanks to you, I’ve perfected the long press → delete thumb-yoga ritual with my eyes closed. Very calming. No idea what you send. Or why. But admire your commitment to a conversation I’ve never participated in.
