My mom did a thing.
She translated a malayalam novel by a dalit writer into English - Life of a Raavulan.
Excited to announce our new series ‘Altlife’, featuring narratives of individuals and communities. A glimpse into the forthcoming titles: ‘Life of a Raavulan’, ‘A Chandalini Speaks’ and ‘No Blushes’.
Coming soon!

Hello dev Twitter,
I'm back to using a mac after a couple years break. What's the must have devtools these days?
Is zsh + iterm combo still the way to go?
Dear people at @nobrokercom, I am ready to pay the ransom for you all to stop calling me. You are holding my sanity hostage.

The good thing about the clever, kinda well read, kinda successful & kinda well spoken Indian sophisticates is their belief they're 'self made'. If it wasn't for social access most of us including me would be sitting in a waiting room hoping for an interview. Self made is a myth

On January 6th, a friend texted me. He'd found an injured dog by a garbage dump in Bangalore. It couldn't walk, it couldn't even stand. Most of its fur was gone, it was covered in sores. He didn't have the time to help it but sent me this picture. 🧵👇🏿

Potato came to India in 16th century. First written record of dosa was in 8th century.
Which means there was an 800 year gap between first dosa and first masala dosa.

I sleep well at night knowing that every white man who ever held an important job was most definitely, 100 percent, without question, the most qualified. I mean, they never get fired for incompetence, jailed for corruption, let go for poor performance.
