“Instead of extending support and help for my brother’s mental health struggles, they tried to wash their hands off of possible responsibility by denying him hostel accomodation. They were worried he would do something to himself inside the hostel.” - Rishikesh's brother

@AnandMi11233025 @GhoshSamyak How are you, long lost friend?

[Arijit Gupta @Arijit17Gupta]

@AnandMi11233025 @GhoshSamyak Yes!

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

Survival of the fittest? This is sad, pathetic and uncivilized behaviour. I wish there were fewer people and far better public transport that ensured comfort to the weary. I wish people had options. I wish we didn't treat people like they are animals.

[Arijit Gupta @Arijit17Gupta]

@di_shawarma yes, absolutely! I would have never imagined them to be this toxic if I had not seen my friend working there. Always thought of them to be a great workplace, but now I know them much better- it's a miserable org internally. (I still like their work tho)

On Page 1 of TOI. The grand disenfranchisement exercise of modern India. We need laws to protect us and punish the EC for sins of deliberate Omission.

I took this picture at Ahmedabad airport. If you zoom in, you'll see two kiosks for issuing boarding passes, you'll see only one airline listed there - Indigo. If you zoom into the screen next to it, you'll see a list of flights, each one of them is by Indigo. On left is a board of Adani, at the bottom of the screen is an advertisement of Reliance Jio claiming that it is enabling Digital Ahmedabad. On the right is a cafe, by Adani. Welcome to monopolised India.

NITI Aayog added that students from low-income households often cannot afford to pay for additional skilling alongside college expenses. https://t.co/jOcaGUjWQ7

It is because of this that many take up whatever work provides a stable income after graduation, even when it is low-paying.

Six years ago, I began following a rumour about love, religion and conspiracy. It took me into villages where couples disappeared overnight. Into police stations where parents filed kidnapping complaints. Into courtrooms, flats, madrassas, vigilante offices, homes that had fallen silent, and lives permanently altered by suspicion.

I wanted to understand how the idea of “love jihad” travelled--from a rumour, to a conspiracy theory, to something capable of shaping actual lives. How myths originate, and are used.

That journey has become my first book.

Under a Saffron Sky is published by Penguin Viking.

It has taken years, hundreds of interviews, and countless miles across India.

And now, finally, it’s yours.

I can't wait for you to read it.

Available on Amazon.

Wow! 92 crores on renovation of union ministers’ Lutyen’s bungalows in just one year! Peak VIP culture- is this the best use of public money when govt schools, hospitals and infrastructure are in shambles?

[ً @artfuIchaos]

unfortunately, as you get older, you gradually become less interested in new music and keep going back to the old favorite songs you once loved.

[Rituparna Chatterjee @MasalaBai]

Which stage of devotion is this please? I would want the "culture" and "sanskar" ke chindi thekedaars to answer pls. Who are these awful men and why are there so many kawars making these obscene gestures on pilgrimage? But I can guarantee you there will be pindrop silence.

[Sahil @highaufkaffee]

Love being the language of protest is probably the sweetest thing ever.

I'm proud of the Jadavpur University students. Kudos!

These saffron hate mongers will never understand what love means, because they're miserable.

Don't be like BJP. Be like JU students.

Always spread 💗.
