My latest article examines the legal, social, and workplace challenges women face working in nightshifts, especially in the wake of the R.G. Kar hospital incident. I explore the complex intersection of gender, labor rights, and workplace safety.

This is a fake note given to us by a fruit vendor outside Vijaya Diagnostics in Ameerpet after buying some fruits. We’re not sure if all the notes he gave us were fake. When we later tried to use one, another vendor identified it as fake. @TelanganaCOPs @TelanganaPolice

As great powers bet on AI, what of the workforce holding it together? Kavitha Yarlagadda writes that the future of artificial intelligence depends not only on algorithms but on who controls and benefits from the labour that machines rely on. scmp.com/opinion/asia-opinio…
AI may look automated, but it runs on human labour. Behind every chatbot and image generator are thousands of people labelling images, tagging text, moderating content and training systems, read my latest opinion for South China Morning Post.

Almost every young journalist mom I have met in the last few weeks has left at home a coughing, wheezing child.
Truly heartbreaking, not easy on the parents too:( @Warriormomsin

Our children are growing up gasping for air. Air that should be their right, not a privilege.
No mask can protect them forever. No parent should have to watch their child struggle to breathe.
We mothers, parents and families are rising together to demand what every child deserves; Clean Air.
Join us. Stand with us.
Because if we stay silent today, our children will continue to suffer.
