It's been a year since #PuneethRajkumar's death and Ill share collected pictures over this year of his immortalization in Bangalore City. 1/n A number of restos have an "Appu" menu, curated by his family. I sampled the menu 2 weeks back, and keep crossing life size cutouts of Puneeth at other restos.
Here's a write up:

A spate of young people looking to raise lakhs of rupees to study abroad this year... How to say this in a tweet but: If you raise the money, great, but dont bankrupt yourself in the hope that a foreign degree will set you free. Youll be in this same job market when youre back. Theres LOTS MORE to say on this but if a tweet is of any use, then this is the tweet.

Yes happy to talk to anyone who wants to talk it out: DM is open.

there's something off about police crack-downs on the "black market."
a black market begins when the state fails.
and patients are now without black market and without the state. 2/ For example: Vigabatrin

My piece: How diff state govs finally slashed prices of COVID19 treatment
indiaspend.com/exorbitant-cov…

- If they could do this, why didnt they do this earlier?
- Now that they did do it, pvt hosps still finding ways to charge patients more than the caps
- But why so arbitrary? Image ** Table is from my own notes on issue. Hard to draw a table given that diff govs issued their circulars variously. So read table w/ caveats: Some states indicated these prices as what insurance cos will pay, some as what Ayushman Bharat rates will be, some which patients pay +

1. #ChallengeAccepted

This is how 100s of womxn around the world have spent the last week:
- Gone thru 1000 x mil photos of ourselves on mob, HDD, social
- Stressed on which ones our double chin is not visible, what filter to appear fairer while also being in B&W, etc x million 2.
 - Had a meltdown about our body image issues 😭
- Battled with the #Satan/#Patriarchy about whether we are shallow, narcissistic, vain, "more than just my body" to post a pic of ourselves 🐒
- Theorised valiantly with other girlfriends on DM 🥀
- Made a pro and con list 😬

Thread: #BLM
For 2 weeks Ive been playing C O O L by Le Youth on loop, dancing around my house...
So many remixes... so good...

But something felt really familiar, and I couldnt place it...
Wiki says Le Youth "heavily samples" from Cassie's Me & U.

So I checked out Me & U.
#ST Image 2. Le Youth/ Wes James: White, American, male, DJ.
C O O L was his debut single, in 2013.

Cassie: Black, American, female, singer.
Me & U released in 2006.

When Wiki says he "heavily samples," he really does.

1.Tocil-iz-umab. A drug being experimentally used for COVID19 treatment globally.

Yet: Joel Pinto drove from Chennai to Hyd to get it for his dad. Rajiv Dhawan got it from Hyd for his uncle in Ahmedabad.

Short supply, high prices, black market.
I report: indiaspend.com/life-saving-co… 2. Of the 2 drugs being experimentally used for COVID:

Remdesivir, anti-viral
Tocilizumab, anti-inflammatory

T is used either w/ R, or aftr R

But shortage of both means, families blown up lot of $$ & been wrecked by anxiety... by the time docs tell them they need T

*Not cool*
