This is probably the best essay on Dubai I have ever read. And it absolutely gets the place right. Fantastic read. I wish more Indian cities were like Dubai than Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai or Kolkata. We need less emotion, more planning.

Genuinely don’t understand the sabzi mandi behaviour at domestic boarding in India. It’s assigned seating, it’s not first come basis, and it’s boarding by zones, then what explains the tendency to crowd crotch to butt around the boarding gate?

By honouring a film that spreads blatant misinformation with the clear intent of tarnishing Kerala’s image and sowing seeds of communal hatred, the jury of the #NationalFilmAwards has lent legitimacy to a narrative rooted in the divisive ideology of the Sangh Parivar. Kerala, a land that has always stood as a beacon of harmony and resistance against communal forces, has been gravely insulted by this decision. It is not just Malayalis, but everyone who believes in democracy, must raise their voice in defence of truth and the constitutional values we hold dear.

My students are now becoming openly upset with me for upholding my AI policy because “none of my other professors care.” This demonstrates the importance of both faculty solidarity and administrative support, but those are both pipe dreams.

Imagine casting two people that look like these two only to make the movie all about a steaming pile of melting leather that is Brad Pitt.

The last paragraph is something like a Hippocratic oath for humanities professors
