public transport systems that there is a single core, where most trips converge to and the basic concept of a city is that people from other areas, including other cities and the peripheries, interact with each other and enjoy benefits of agglomeration.

Shifting activities to ring road would negate the benefits of a ring road, and after 10-20 years there will be a need for another ring road.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot; a time to tear down and a time to build; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance;

He has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing can be taken from it. - Ecclesiastes

Had the misfortune yesterday to use @inDrive last night. I decided to cancel the ride given the sheer incompetence of the driver only to receive a physical threat from him via text (attached below). It's one thing to be unprofessional but to be a deliquant on top of that really

Sema is only for the restless spirit-so jump up quickly. Why do
you wait?
Do not sit here with your own thoughts - if you are a human go to the Beloved.
Do not say, "Perhaps He does not want me."
What business has a thirsty man with such words?

For Love's spirit, thought is a disgrace.
When the warrior hears the sound of the drum, at once he is with
ten thousand men.

In every city with a metro system, 70%-80% of all trips are less than 10 km. Metros start to save time on a door-to-door basis for trips longer than 12-15 km. This is the primary reason why metro systems will have low ridership.

We were very fortunate to have had the opportunity to discuss Edward Said's book Covering Islam, during Bookhour at @atomcamp. During the session we touched upon the many themes of Said's seminal work and how they still remain relevant in today's geopolitics.

Truly, sometimes reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is equivalent to reading to Al Ghazali or Bulleh Shah. As Kabir Das says,
