Moving to another city in less than 2 days. I should have started packing, but I haven’t. Days have been too manic lately…This is definitely not how I’d planned it…
Anyway, on to the interesting bits!
Here’s a long and very informative read on what makes Jakarta the fastest-sinking capital in the world (human activity involved, no surprises there), and the new capital being planned in Borneo.
Also related to water, but a more encouraging story. Do read to learn how a simple technique of low-cost check dams (bori bandh) has helped improve the lives of over 8000 farmers in Jharkhand!
Ever thought music and Venn diagrams might go together? Yeah, me neither. But here’s this really cool project by The Pudding that does put the two together very well. Which generation do you belong to?
I think this miniature record shop for mice is one of the most creative ideas I’ve seen lately. Ricotta Records may not be selling too many records but full marks for innovation and incredible detailing!
Now, a brilliant way to explore different cities from your own home. On this website just select any town in the list on the top right, and it’ll take you on a drive through (random) streets of the town. What’s more, you can listen to different radio channels from this city as you do this. Is that cool or is that cool?
Hope you enjoyed this week’s selection. There won’t be any email from me next week, but I’ll be back again from the 25th! Leaving you with this thoughtful article on emotional first aid.
Till next time, keep the faith!
Love
