My grandfather RS Lugani, who dedicated his life to being an educator, was the founding headmaster / principal of DPS RK Puram in 1972. Were he still alive today, I would’ve been so excited to send this tweet to him. In a way he was actually the OG VC in our family…

Personal note: I hope to use civil discourse to (1) make sense of my vortex of thoughts and emotions post the overturn of Roe, (2) encourage other men w/ a platform to do the same, and (3) recognize the pain that the most important women in my life have been feeling

Enjoyed spending the evening with SF mayoral candidate @MarkFarrellSF with the large group of SF residents. His grasp of the issues and practical, common sense solutions were apparent as he fielded the large group’s questions and went into detail on each.
