My work with ENFOLD, an NGO that supports victims of child sexual abuse in India, ensures that I don’t have a typical day: there are no weekdays or weekends as cases get reported every day. Either our office receives the information or I get calls directly from different sources including the police, Child… Read more →←

WhatsApp-ening in India’s measles-rubella vaccine campaign? ☺️☺️☺️

It’s a Saturday night  and my phone memory is full again. Another 53 messages have come through from Uttarkhand, and then 37 more from Telangana. Scrolling through them is a rainbow of colour and activity with the bright clothes of women health workers blurring as my finger scrolls with the red and white dots of the campaign… Read more →←

Kerala: Returning to loss after the floods

Bending curves

“I’ve stood near the doors of countless trains, sometimes alone, sometimes with a friend or relative, and each time, it gives me a high that doesn’t quite compare to any other bending curves….The top of this high mountain is now in full view.
