In Gurgaon for a few days and the thing that gets me every time is the wine shops. Every few hundred metres there’s one, and it’s not a shop, it’s a mini mall. They have heavy chandeliers, marble floors, a whole wall just for Laphroaig, and a guy at the door who greets you like it’s a hotel lobby.

Then you step out onto the road, which is a different story, and the drain next to it is a whole other story.

People here have their priorities straight lol. Just Gurgaon things.

People in south delhi diwali parties have started discussing how did "people" fall for chai bechne wala story and magarmach story with hardcore sanghis quietly listening and sulking in a corner...

Anecdotal evidence suggests Urban area has been well and truly breached.

The neurodivergent experience of feeling like I was mentally older than my peers as a child and now feeling mentally younger as an adult

I think the Mock Parliament session to impeach CEC was a brilliant idea. An entire generation got to see what it used to be like "Congress ke zamane mein" while the trend was still hot on social media platforms. Whoever came up with that idea deserves a raise.

my reason for doing things:
1. spite
2. the aesthetic
3. a deadline i invented

Apparently my tendency to give people I really like small gifts is actually a common neurodivergent thing called pebbling. Like a penguin.

The moment when Kanhaiya came out on bail in 2016 and the crowd in JNU was waiting for him, that speech was 🔥

Kanhaiya, Umar & Anirban’s arrest and Rohith Vemula’s suicide awoke something in me.

And then the attack on Jamia broke me 💔

Jean Dreze is more Indian than their entire ilk put together. He has spent almost five decades living among, working with and advocating for India's most vulnerable communties. His life and work challenge the very idea that Indianness is determined by birthplace and cultural conformity. Of course, they won't understand.

His life and work have revolved around around better understanding hunger, poverty, inequality, food security, education, child nutrition, healthcare and gender justice. Again, alien concepts for them.

An added fun fact for the andh bhakt mandli - Dreze was granted Indian citizenship in 2002, by the Vajpayee led NDA government.

When you rethink about today, remember @neha_aisa marched WITH the people, deceived the police that was detaining anyone found BREATHING near Jantar Mantar for over an hour, and almost reached the venue before she was CHOKED while being detained FORCEFULLY.

That is how you lead. By example. Not diktats. Not shadow fights. Not statements.

Like i always say. WOMEN WILL LEAD THE REVOLUTION.

[Purvi @shayar_ka_khwab]

He is Jean Dreze. Crores of Indians don't sleep hungry becoz he helped shaping two of THE most imp govt policies acting as safety net, which has helped millions not fall below poverty line- MGNREGA & NFSA.
Bjp uses these schemes to beg votes.

Why does everyone force introverts to leave their comfort zone, but no one forces extroverts to shut the f*ck up for a while?

[Oppressor @TyrantOppressor]

Police were taking the detained students away in a truck from the Chembur student protest.

Then, out of nowhere, an uncle came and opened the truck's latch, and all the students jumped out and ran away.

Man, I love my country so much sometimes. 😭
