I'm so happy that GRE is over that I can spend my nights reading and writing and doing things that actually excite me instead of mindless math

the econ department really showed them that the university needs them more than they need the university
"Failure to do so will systematically wreck the largest academic department at Ashoka and the very viability of the Ashoka vision"

waking up to the news of a prof resigning, finding out through an article rather than your own university, radio silence on part of the university even thought they were so quick to distance themselves when it served their purpose - we've been here before

in awe of the statement, in awe of the Department. Favourite statement of this season of statements fr
ok this is actually really good I am conditionally taking my words back and I think that the econ department does indeed have a spine. But also, this is goddamn insane they actually mentioned interference by the governing board this is HUGE

thinking about how scary it is to be a young academic and/or researcher in the field of dev/political econ and public policy in India.
from the firing of the director of IIPS because govt wasn't "happy with NFHS data" to the instant backlash to a paper on democratic backsliding.

the onus should be on the institute to increase diversity, and not the applicant/student themselves!
Asking scholars of Color to write a diversity statement is insulting.

yesterday at the bangalore airport, and there was literally no other option but to get in through digiyatra?
If you don't do it on your own, the security will do it for you?
But you HAVE to get it done? That too at three checkpoints? Have seen this at NO other airport huh

I'm so tired of everyone giving a world of advice to me ever since I got a job. People telling me that I'm spending too much or I'm spending too little, that I'm not investing or saving enough, what I should do after this job, how I should live. And it's just so frustrating.
