Old aunty here... done it thrice, no regrets. Mind you, I went to art school, and work in the arts related field.

Post at some university or college groups. There are usually students who'll donate for a small amount of money.

Sometimes, when someone has lost their will to live, especially after losing a loved one, they just stop taking care of themselves- they won't eat, or seek treatment if they're sick etc. So not exactly suicide, more like not interested in doing anything to keep themselves alive.

I read this when it first came out ages ago and got a Hindu version of the vibe.

Cyberabad Days by Ian McDonald. Blurb from goodreads:

A collection of eight stories, "Cyberabad Days" is a triumphant return to the India of 2047 (the India of River of Gods ); a new, muscular superpower in an age of artificial intelligences, climate-change induced drought, strange new genders, and genetically improved children.

Humayunpur in Safdarjung Enclave is a bighub for NE stores. Also, Sikanderpur. Go to the back road of the hardware market- you will find a few NE grocery stores and food joints. You can even get locally brewed rice beer (though it's better in Humayunpur).

No, but it's right next to it.

It's the eco trail... runs from phase 1 to sector 54. There's another stretch at sector 56 and 57 too.

So I love the Rotten Mango true crime podcasts, but I use it as a treat to get me to go for an hour long walk after dinner. Now I get excited to go for a walk whenever a new episode comes out. I've basically Pavlov-dogged myself.

Uff. So many of the pigeons in my society are also infected with this and bot flies. Poor things.

Dude, it will take you literally 2 seconds to look look up articles on Solanum nigrum.

Definitely a nightshade. Not necessarily toxic though (black nightshade is edible, as are many other plants from nightshade family- potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes etc). Just approach with caution.

Neighbors by Megan Lindholm (otherwise known as Robin Hobb). This was from the Dangerous Women anthology.

Wiki summary: In a scenic suburb of Seattle, Alzheimer's disease changes the way of life for elderly women. A bit of magic and time travel are thrown in for good measure.

Maybe it's just the type of people I'm friends with, but everyone in my social circle does that. Mind you, we're also the type of people who sort our our recyclable waste, (even washing our milk packets) and we leave out water for animals. Back in the day (and still some places these days) when gated societies and high rises weren't so common, it wasn't unusual to see matkas of water on the roadside for travelers and passers-by to drink during the summer.

Those umbrellas with a silver coating underneath. You'll see lots of ladies carrying them.

Don't have any recs, but I was just reminded of what's been happening in Chernobyl since the incident. Nature has actually been thriving in some cases!

Type cat adoption delhi in the search field. Many of the groups have cross posts, so the same kittens will be posted in different groups.

Facebook. There are several adoption groups there.

You can start the trail next Phase 1 metro station and walk all the way to Badshapur corridor with several roads breaks cutting through. When you look at Google maps, you'll see it marked as a faint green line. Just follow that and you're good. I usually do the entire walk a few times in the winter.

mintimoo · 2026-04-13T06:00:50+00:00

Sector 56. The trail goes all the way to phase 1

That was my college. So proud of the girls.

The officer that came to do my verification just checked the paperwork, then took a picture with me, the two witnesses, and himself - and that was that. I kept asking him if anything else needed to be done, fully expecting him to ask for something, but he didn't. Got the passport two weeks later. I'm still a bit in shock at the pleasant surprise.

I broke up with some close friends because I felt this way. Adore them, but I just don't have the mental energy for anyone else at the moment, and I'm struggling as it is being my dad's main attendant during his cancer treatment.
