So proud of the women on the streets of India tonight
And to men in solidarity, you are the ones standing
Between me and wondering what if the whole world
Is one Ivy League Group Chat
Where everyone is either vulture or voyeur
Or keyboard warrior
Not All Men Get that Ek Kachodi Do Samosa Need not Be About Them

It’s back to school time and a jumbo batch of granola just came out of the oven. Since I last posted a granola recipe here (13 years ago!) I have made some important changes to the recipe. I have stopped adding oil or any kind of sweetener such as honey or maple syrup to my granola. The nuts and seeds contain plenty of healthy oil in whole food form. All the sweet we need comes from fresh chopped fruit which we stir into our bowl when we eat.
Vasteguna Huiya?
In What on 29 July 2026 at 1:15 pmWere I in India I’d be at Jantar Mantar, were I a youth I’d have been there all month and were I still a practicing librarian I’d love to make a video like the LA Public library did about 6/7 but about “Vaste Guna Huiya” which appears on protests signs and in short videos students have posted, notably during police interactions. In those videos, it seems a way to ask the police “what are you even doing here?” but using a meaningless phrase to convey the nonsensical nature of police / state intimidating and attacking youth.
