Uma started school this week at Earth School. We walk to school every day. It’s about 500 meters, but it takes us at least half an hour to cover that distance. Everything on the way has to be observed by her every day. Taking time to write out an idea or observation forces...
English wasn’t my first/primary language. I attended a Kannada-medium school during my primary school years and switched to an English-medium school in high school. I caught up with it as I grew up speaking it with friends and then colleagues, as English is the primary language at work 1. Now that we are...

One of the things that I believe helped me in my recovery is the Memory Foam Contour Cervical Pillow with Coolgel from My Armor. I know it’s a mouthful,...
