I cut marks from my undergrad students' assignment graphs if they use raw count as Y-axis just to make their numbers look better when percentage gives a more accurate picture of reality. Also if they exclude a China sized observation on the X-axis just to embellish their story.

UK with 66 million people has only administered 70 million doses? Germany with a population of 80 million has only administered 70 million doses? US with a population of 330 million has only administered 330 million doses? What losers! Look at India!

Rest of the world is treating this pandemic like a pandemic. Modi is treating it like Bigg Boss ka ghar, showing off some milestone achievement everyday.

Teaching a Marketing Intro Class on Zoom to high school students today and I just got a copy of my Background Check (which you have to undergo by law here to work with kids in any way). And it is fun to read your own background check! Especially when it is so pristine. 😂

Not my first one btw. I've taught and volunteered with kids before and background check is standard. This was just the first time I had the option of getting a copy emailed to me. 😁

Finalizing the ppt for this class for high schoolers and I think I've gone so much in the "lemme give these kids more than just PowerPoint visuals and bullet points" direction that I might come across as this guy. 😂😂

Yesterday was the kind of day in #NYC that future generations will talk about, like the WWII V-Day celebrations. #pride is always a fun time here (except last year obviously). But this was like a collective sigh followed by a love filled wholesome celebration. And so chill!

Other days when the streets of Manhattan are filled, like NYE, Halloween, Thanksgiving, St. Pattys, etc, mostly chill but there will still be some little tensions and jostling and occasional curses and "I'M WALKIN' HERE"s

Never at #pride

Except from the police.

It's like some elements of the NYPD are keen to do a small historical reenactment every year of what started the Stonewall Riots in the first place - police unfairly and violently going after queer folk in the West Village.

It is such an act of petulance by them. Every year!

It is not the norm but there are definitely more people than you'd think who do it. Heck, there have been a few documentaries about that.

There are two distinct sets in this as I've seen. One - very orthodox ones who brainwash or pressure their children into it. I know of stories where brothers have threatened emancipation to parents if they kept trying to make their sisters get an arranged marriage.

Second are the "born-again brahmins". They led a typical American social life but had a couple of bad breakups and decided, fuck it, I've been told all my life we bommins are best so I'm just gonna try that like my friends who turn to the bible. They jump back into the rituals.

And #NYCPride is on the move towards Stonewall. 😍😍😍
This is one parade in the city that never has a word of anger uttered.

This is my favorite picture of the day 😍🌈

One thing I love about Americans is the even in a dense crowd, everyone is always trying to respect each other's space as much as possible. No shoulder to shoulder contact unless absolutely necessary and even then, apologetically.
