The HT newsroom put out a bunch of specials to mark India@75. For starters, there’s 1947: The road to Indian independence, a podcast anchored by Prashant Jha, featuring experts such as William Dalrymple, Rajmohan Gandhi, Srinath Raghavan, and Durba Ghosh. open.spotify.com/show/2PLudYtwR…

On Diwali night, many of Delhi’s pollution monitors stopped reporting PM2.5 just as readings neared 1,000. At 1am, only 13 of 39 were sending it, though they kept sending other readings. Last year, 29 of the same monitors recorded more than 1,000. @htTweets #Diwali

My colleague @VinayakD has put together a really cool (and representative) dashboard for Delhi’s bad air. It is comprehensive and scrapes data from multiple sources to understand meteorological conditions and source of pollution. hindustantimes.com/breathe

Super stoked to sight the Eurasian Hobby at #VetalTekdi today. A passage migrant over the city on its way to wintering grounds in Africa.

I am so sorry for making those jokes about Delhi Traffic Police. Very insensitive of me to speak ill of an extinct species.

Delhi's latest traffic gridlock is physics.
@VinayakD explains here
Delhi's drivers, unfortunately for all of us, mostly drive like what physics calls Brownian motion, which makes it even worse

I may make jokes about the traffic in Delhi but am fully aware that the joke is on me — and on all of us.

What do you call four traffic policemen in Delhi?

When the personal attacks and name calling comes as a flood, you know that change is imminent in the insurance industry!
An industry and distribution system that has ripped people off for decades.

The promise and peril of Delhi's public spaces. In the wake of a minor girl's rape at Aastha Kunj, a spot check by HT found that Delhi's biggest and most popular parks are poorly lit, unguarded and have few safety mechanisms.
