At 92, Gulzar writes with the same discipline that's helped him refine & reinvent his art decade after decade - building an enormous body of work known for its tenderness.
This summer, I spent time with him at his Mumbai home for this @nytimes profile:

…its landlord refused to renew the lease and the banks that had processed reader donations, the paper’s sole form of income, said they would stop doing so. None of the journalists consider this a coincidence.

NEW: A @nytimes investigation found the Trump administration has deported more than 110 immigrants who've ended up at risk of torture or abuse in their home countries — despite US courts barring the removals. Rubio and his State Dept. oversee the program resulting in this.

At peak of #AirPollution on #Deepavali night, data goes missing at several govt monitoring stations in #Delhi
Experts said missing peak values led to air quality index (AQI) being artificially lowered, showing better air quality than reality.

…when anything and everything is for too long seen and framed only and only through “conspiracy” lens…this is what becomes of governance even on the most fundamental human need for air…
#WATCH | Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra says, "...We started getting calls from Punjab farmers last evening...that fire is being set in the fields at night, and when farmers are celebrating Diwali at their homes, their fields are being set ablaze by people who are then fleeing. We ..We decided to find out the truth...We asked for data coming in through satellites for Govt of India on stubble burning. The data proves that this was a premeditated move, and fields in Punjab were set on fire. As per the satellite data on stubble burning on 5th, 6th and 7th Nov, on 7th Nov, there was stubble burning at 125 locations...But as per the data last evening, there was stubble burning at 1200 locations - on the day of Diwali...How did it increase 10 times?...This is a really serious matter. This is a conspiracy against farmers, against Diwali, against Delhi, against Punjab..."

Delhi is a heavy, toxic haze right now. It is nothing short of an apocalypse. All you can see is a grey sky, air smells like thousands of burnt tyres. #pollution #AQI

I talked to Al Jazeera about why we started Equator and what we did in year one. More to come!
“The fundamental premise of so much Western journalism is the idea that it’s better to be us than to be them.”
We started Equator to do something different. Here’s @jonathanshainin talking to @AJListeningPost about our first year.

Disgusting fascist twerps
HAPPENING NOW: Absolutely chaotic scene as conservative activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen storm a Diwali Hindu celebration at the Seattle Center Armory.
They held signs that read, "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians."
I just spoke to both men who about American culture being overrun by false idol worshippers and H1-B fraudsters.
Lang and Allen say they will be targeting other locations in the city this weekend.
They have yet to announce details of their plans due to possible retaliation by Antifa and other far-left activists.
Stay tuned.

“Six days before the election, more than two dozen of President Trump’s top strategists logged onto a private video call.”
“What made the war such a potent force is that it told a simple story for voters.
As a candidate, Mr. Trump had promised no new wars. He started a new war.
He promised lower prices. Gas prices soared and inflation rose.”
