Shoutout to every single independent journalist in our country. Thank you for staying your course.

Is whatsapp down? Because all the groups i'm on are really quiet.

It’s unbelievably cute to see the media complain that Rahul Gandhi has hurt THEIR feelings 🤣

A womans safety is the job of her govt, her administration, her institutions, her faculty, her education systems, her authorities, her courts, her country to enforce and systemically guarantee. It should have nothing to do with her hours, wardrobe or anything else. It’s OUR job.

If there is ever a new variant can we please name it CRITICISM19 so that our govt works hard to eradicate it?

Asking for a friend. After a Supreme Court & a High Court ruling, when your top leader says all rallies must be stopped, when literally ALL of social media, media, your voters, your citizens, and the world is telling you to stop rallying...how do you do a rally today? How?

The greatest Hindi song ever written? Like where you will stop everything you are doing and sing. For me? Ae Ajnabi from Dil Se. You?

We put a tiny tiny bowl of water next to the security guard because there’s a stray cat who hangs in our building compound. Society uncle sends it back up with the guard saying not allowed. Water. Some people man.

Hear me out. Forget pretending to debate. Every night at 9. Two panelists go on Republic TV. They put on gloves and beat the hell out of each-other while Arnab screams looking directly into camera. Underneath them runs a simple text ticker with unbiased factual news. Every…

Barring a few exceptions, looking at these mainstream TV news anchors and genuinely wondering. If you haven’t done real journalism in ten years, do you remember how? Is it like riding a bike? Do you remember how to ride if you’ve spent a decade sitting in a lap?

Long cliched post alert. It’s my late doggy Watsons birthday. He passed during the pandemic. Get a pet. It’s a tough contract to sign with the universe. But it’s worth it. You’re signing up to be there for an ENTIRE life. From training them to walk, to their first everything, to their angry years, to their calming down, to their eating, to their losing their faculties, to caring for them as they pass. Think about that. You’ll never be in charge of a whole life journey. I remember this tiny puppy taking first nap on my chest, no bigger than a papaya, and how our breath just synced up, to sitting in a bathroom drenched in sweat with him with two steamers pointed at us because it was hard for him to breathe as an old man. The day you get them, you make a commitment to the universe saying you will watch them pass. When we lost him, I was locked down in a quarantine in another country and could not make it back to him. It was against the law. I had seen him four days before. But I wasn’t there when we went, and not a day goes by where I don’t agonise that he might have looked for me in his last moments. I live with that. It’s a tough contract. But you signed it. When I pass, I know he’ll be the first face I see, and I will apologise. Like I do when I pray for him. That’s life. Life moves. Two wonderful indies have adopted us since. I always say find yourself someone who looks at you the way your pet looks at you. But then you’d have to be 16 bloody feet tall. Which is kind of what you are to them. No matter how tired you are, you’ll dance around the room, make silly noises, sing songs, run around like a fool…for them. If we did that with each other maybe this whole place would be a little better. If you can go through life remembering someone is waiting for you with love you deserve, that you’re never too silly for them, that your accomplishments or failures mean nothing to them, all they care about is your heart. To someone, you’re 16 feet tall. Get a pet. Even better, adopt one. Sign the contract. It hurts, but man it’s worth it.

There’s an ‘on Twitter too much’ person. And when you meet them in real life you can feel the Internet has kind of broken their brain and reduced their empathy. This platform is designed to be brutal for engagement and it’s hardened a lot of people. When you meet them outside of it, in a normal person to person to conversation, you really see it. As vital as this place is, it’s reducing the humanity in us.
