In the 90s and early noughts, paparazzi like Yogen would queue up outside TOI building waiting for editors to let them in. It was a first-come-first-served kinda system. The editors would then deign to see them and they’d make the sale. Times changed; prints made way for CDs 🧵

Ashoka lived 2300 yrs ago & left us many stories of his time in his rock edicts. But until the 18C, India had all but forgotten Ashoka. Until a few Britishers helped us rediscover him
How did we rediscover Ashoka & our ancient history?
A story that deserves a Netflix series 🧵

Madhya Pradesh is such an underrated destination. It's come a long way since my last visit in 02 but there's just so much yet to be discovered. @nimrek and I came across these temples near #Gwalior and the fascinating story behind them. @ScrollStack

In the most normal of times, the work of a #therapist can be difficult. In the midst of the pandemic that job's become even harder. I spoke with @hvovi, @nainashahri, Malvika Fernandes and Prarthana S to find out how they're coping. #Mentalhealth @gqindia
