Hard copies of newspapers are pretty passé , however the five rupees for the daily business paper is the cornerstone of my information diet. It’s curated and on the record. These are a couple of clippings from yesterday’s paper on India’s Skills Future. What is news today, is history tomorrow and archival material the day after.

Our media diet requires consumption from verified sources and an established edit team has fact checkers and people to cut through the fake news. As our digital society evolves, we need more old school journalism than ever.

How can anyone attempt to write on life, and it’s inherent messy through a strict methodology or a disciplinary lens?

Yes, exhaust the literature, gauge the silences and erasures. Engage with the wider field. Get a sense of what to convey and find ones voice. Find a unique vocabulary to communicate. Too difficult?

Writing about economic inequality and spoken word on LinkedIn is disruptive of the ‘visionary’ fetishisation of the digital. Employees are people first hence it is an act of communicative inversion.

At the Pune Start Up Fest at the College of Engineering Pune with the fantastic The Tilak Chronicle team-Mr. Amogh Oak and Mr. Kunal Tilak; good getting to engage folks regarding policy entrepreneurship in a tech centric start up space. It’s novel when research and writing is the product.
