Publishing professional. Politics, society, poetry, films, ghazals, road trips, fragrances, flowers, food, tea, coffee: these are a few of my favourite things. Staunchly secular, democratic.

Hello, inhabitants of Blue Sky.
I live in the planet's most polluted city, which reverberates with life, nevertheless (a curious irony).
So, the prospect of checking into "Blue Sky" was immensely attractive to me. 😀

So, 2025 has begun on a note that isn't easy to classify.
It's not happy. It's hopeful only if you force yourself to see hope. But it's not sad either because it could have been worse.
Maybe all years begin like this. Just that it takes you to hit middle age to realize this. Happy New Year. :)

The BJP’s rise in the past decade has contributed to the eclipsing of Maharashtra as an industrial powerhouse.
Since 2014, the state has slid in national rankings of per capita income, industrialisation and manufacturing.

Gujarat ahead of Maharashtra in wealth & economic success. Blame BJP’s power hunger games
The past decade – for most of which the state has been ruled by the Mahayuti – has not been kind to Maharashtra, especially in comparison to its sibling Gujarat.
