    Meet my grand aunt. She completed 100 years last weekend (yes, I do have good genes). She was one of Goa's freedom fighters, running an underground radio with her partner for six years, from a forest (they were on the run) feeding Goans with info about the Portuguese...

    If you're planning a trip to Goa this long weekend, here's what to do. Don't come. The crowd you wish to escape is already here.

    Wear your masks etc and just remember. They're stars so they will get hospital beds and the best treatment. We are nobody. We will struggle to find beds, treatments and to be able to pay the bills.

    Here's a video of a puppy, Hobi, finding some joy in the middle of the #Keralafloods. (Story: The owner's home in Allapphuzha is submerged so she is staying at a guest house where they allow pets.) 25/10 for enthusiasm and jumping skills. What say, @dog_rates

    It is with great sadness that I announce that Mae passed away last night at 112. She had a wonderful life and that's what we will celebrate ❤️ Please say a prayer for her soul.

    Turns out, half of Delhi + Bombay have congregated in Goa to work out of bungalows and crowd restaurants and cafes. What a selfish, heartless bunch. Don't come at me with the tourism bit. All you're doing is increasing the transmission risk and straining an overworked system.
