I teach modern history at the university of Delhi. I am interested in the legal, urban and sonic histories of South Asia; museums and memorialisation in India.

I used the @urbancompany services and suffered damange to my house as a result. I made a complaint and explained why I was reporting the situation a few days late, and I had absolutely no satisfactory reply. Will not be using again for sure.

December is the time that I start ordering Christmas cake ( and January is the time that I start making those diet and exercise resolutions). Just tried Theobroma's - so-so I would say. I will order from my all time favorite, Wenger's of course

Do read this important piece by @nagrajadve about the challenges involved in a faster energy transition in India.
31 Jul 2024
#ClimateChange | It is in the interest of its own people that India’s energy transition is faster & that rising emissions slow down. A key challenge for India in enabling a faster energy transition is mobilising the investment needed.

Terrible service from @Hindware_India. Bought a kitchen sink with faulty outlet pipes. Endless calls for five days ans no-one has arrived with a replacement. Will not recommend Hindware to anyone @HindwareApp @Hindware_India

Any suggestions for a Bangalore restaurant with a separate room/space to accomodate about 25 people? With good food, and not incredibly expensive?
