We don’t have such low dealings with our lower castes as Hindus and Sikhs did with Musalmaans. A guest comes to our house and we say to him, bring those utensils and wash them, and if my mother or sister have to give him food, they will more or less throw the roti from such a distance, fearing that they may touch the dish and become polluted. Following the closure of Kali for Women, she founded Zubaan Books. Butalia co-founded Kali for Women, India’s first exclusively feminist publishing house. And our dealings with them were so low that I am even ashamed to say it. Urvashi Butalia is the author of The Other Side of Silence: Voices from the Partition of India, which centers oral histories from subaltern communities and women who experienced the Partition. They would give us uncooked food, ghee, atta, dal, whatever sabzis they had, chicken and even mutton, all raw. If we went to their houses and took part in their weddings and ceremonies, they used to really respect and honour us. This was the reason Pakistan was created. If they would come to our houses we would have two utensils in one corner of the house, and we would tell them, pick these up and eat in them they would then wash them and keep them aside and this was such a terrible thing. “Such good relations we had that if there was any function that we had, then we used to call Musalmaans to our homes, they would eat in our houses, but we would not eat in theirs and this is a bad thing, which I realize now.

Immediate rewards are important as they make behaviours into habits.Fogg favours action prompts or “anchors”, where you do the new behaviour after an action you already do consistently. There are three types of prompts: person, action, and context. Prompts are what trigger our behaviours.So successful behaviour design usually relies on increasing ability, such as by making the habit “tiny”, or changing your environment. When something is easy to do (high ability), you need less motivation to do it. Luckily, Motivation and Ability compensate for each other.This is the Fogg Behaviour Model, which is expressed as: Behaviour is a function of Motivation and Ability, combined with a Prompt.The first part of the summary describes the theory behind how behaviour and behaviour change works: This summary of Tiny Habits is divided into three parts.

It finds its origin story in Arthur Sackler, who in 1952 arranges for his brothers to purchase Purdue Frederick, a medical company that sold staples like ear wax remover and laxatives. In his new book, Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, journalist and author Patrick Radden Keefe paints a devastating portrait of the secretive family who, over three generations, ruthlessly pursued profit over concern for human life. Even as they raked in billions – their wealth is estimated at $13bn – they were celebrated for their philanthropy, donating huge sums to museums and cultural institutions that named buildings and rooms after them: the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London the Sackler Wing at The Louvre in Paris. While public anger against Ox圜ontin’s manufacturer, Purdue Pharma, built quickly, for a long time the identity of the owners of the privately held company, the Sackler family, was not well known. According to the CDC nearly 500,000 Americans have died from overdoses related to it and other opioids. Despite only entering the market in 1996, the highly addictive painkiller has become the focus of a prescription drug epidemic. Ox圜ontin is one of the most notorious medicines in US history.

Hadn’t he said so in his letter eight years ago? “You should leave.” She glanced at her clock. Those words stung more than his rejection. His body heaved, and he ran his hands over his prison-shorn hair. “Juliet.” The word rolled like a wave break. He broke away, leaving her a disoriented mess. The air around them vibrated, matching the motion of the kiss. Her world tilted, his arms tightened, and his lips explored hers as if he’d never kissed anyone else ever. And the ache became a need so great she threw her arms around his neck. She tilted her head, and the brush became a demand. How, after all these years, could she still be so susceptible to him?
