    I am proud to share my @FT film on India and the true cost of coal. I spent the last few months filming and directing it, so I hope you will watch and tell me what you think about it.

    I am a proud alumnus of #JamiaMillia. It’s one of the most liberal institutions where I came out as an openly gay man.

    When I first started talking to scientists inside India's top agency last year, some of them described feeling "powerless" against a government portraying India's Covid-19 crisis as less severe. And oh boy, it's come full circle a year later.

    India-Pakistan tensions appear nothing short of war right now. Please don’t cheer for humans to be killed. It will lead to more bloodshed.

    My parents once struggled to pay for school. Yet, they insisted that I go to a private school in Delhi. But what about millions of Indians who look to education to break the cycle of poverty? A political party in India is fixing the public school system.

    Delhi is a gas chamber tonight. The air is apocalyptic. The visibility is so bad that you can’t see much on the roads.

    If you’ve got Covid and need to go to a hospital in Delhi, please consider a government one over private. I got turned away by two of the biggest private hospitals (plus two more on the phone) that refused to even check my vitals.

    My boyfriend @Ankur_pali just wrote his own coming out story. As journalists, we write about the stories of others all the time. It’s incredibly hard to write about yourself.
