    As the U.S. marks one year since pulling out of Afghanistan 🇦🇫, I spoke with Afghan women who shared their experiences of life under Taliban rule, their extreme anguish at losing their sense of self and their ability to work.

    Since I'm from Bombay, here's a very Bombay word: Jugaad. Meaning: a flexible approach to problem-solving that uses limited resources in an innovative way.

    I spotted Sen. Schumer at the India vs Pakistan game this Sunday and my colleague @alexanderbolton asked him about it. “It was the greatest. I had so much fun.” Did you understand the rules of the game? “No.”

    OMG Miss India meowing at Steve Harvey is not what I was expecting to see tonight. Pretty sure the Miss Universe organization could have asked a better question… very frustrating but she was nothing if not confident.

    Wow, I run a five person team across time zones and haven’t met even one of them face to face. We’ve all managed to be extremely productive and create a lovely working experience with each other. This is an absolutely absurd op-Ed.
