Always a delight to watch him perform. Whether he plays Nehru, Homi Bhabha, Charles Shobhraj or Xerxes Desai, always flawless and smooth

Jim Sarbh has singlehandedly redeemed Parsis from Indian cinema which has caricaturized them on screen.

Always some grumpy old man with some funny exaggerated surname shouting in weird made up Gujarati laced accent.

Even real Parsi actors like Boman Irani were always in funny Parsi role. Yes, some played Parsis like Sam Manekshaw like Vicky Kaushal & Milind Soman. Good effort.

Jim Sarbh changed all that when he played Homi Bhabha. A real Parsi playing a great Parsi changed the game. He brought back the class and punch Parsis had when they ruled Bombay. Xerxes in Titan story is latest from him.

After all that, he is kinda the go to guy if you want to show a story related to this community.

He is a good actor which never gives a boring shot on screen. I can see some established big names will hesitate in envy to share screen with him if he gets more space. Hopefully we see him more.

Funny how 16 wickets falling on Day 1 in the West is labeled an exciting contest between bat and ball, but the exact same scorecard in the subcontinent is branded unfit for Test cricket by so-called experts from England, Australia or even South Africa 😵‍💫

Dear Bollywood, After watching Made In India: A Titan Story...
I am formally requesting that Naseeruddin Shah and Jim Sarbh be banned from sitting at home.
Their couches do not deserve them.
The audience does.
In ko dabaa ke kaam do.

Suryakumar Yadav made his debut at the age of 30, became the No.1 T20I batter in quick time, took an iconic catch and sealed the T20 World Cup for India and then went on to defend the same trophy as captain too.

India’s version of Michael Hussey in T20 cricket, who also made a late debut and went on to establish himself as a supreme batter.

Thank you, Surya.

Agarkar and GG may not care but the Indian fans remember! 💙

@ActusDei @iRadhikaGupta Agreed. Only fund in my portfolio with returns worth looking after gold and silver. Started with lump sum last year but stayed with a nominal SIP and that 5k monthly SIP is still on. Better results than 5 year old ELSS in Indian equity

Cinema has long been considered the "mirror of society," reflecting the aspirations, anxieties, and cultural nuances of a nation. However, when the reflection consistently distorts specific demographics, it ceases to be a mirror and becomes a tool for socio-psychological engineering. 

Research conducted by Professor Dhiraj Sharma of IIM Ahmedabad, for the period between 1960 and 2010, provides a startling quantitative look at how Bollywood utilises demographic coding, associating specific castes, religions, and nationalities with fixed moral archetypes. 

By analysing these data points, it becomes clear that Bollywood often relies on "heuristic shortcuts" that reinforce social biases rather than challenge them.

One of the most profound findings in Professor Sharma’s research is the consistent association of moral corruption with specific Hindu caste surnames.

> According to the data, in the films sampled, 58% of corrupt politicians were given Brahmin surnames, and 62% of corrupt businessmen were given Vaishya surnames.

> Conversely, characters with Kshatriya surnames were presented as courageous 88% of the time. and 84% of Muslim characters were portrayed as strongly religious and honest. 

This demographic coding creates a subconscious expectation in the audience; the villain is not defined by his actions alone, but by a surname that signals his "type" before the plot even unfolds.

@thecricketgully Makes sense. Would love to see an end of season list, there could be new names from 2026 season.

@PuranikIra @ActusDei @ayushgupta1610 Good. It reminds me of 2022 days when me and my wife started on a very similar expense structure in Gurgaon albeit not as a tax-free consultant but living below means for secure future. Goodluck to them.

[Geetesh Makkar @Geetcasm]

@PuranikIra @ActusDei @ayushgupta1610 Understand now. Math wasn't adding up then i read monthly "discretionary" spend vs "rent" getting mapped to this category that's a need
34k left for the month means an extra 40-42k monthly spend is also there
Takehome= ctc/12 logic I read from other responses

One of the dumbest things normalized in Indian male culture is treating poor hygiene and dirty living as “manly.”

Indian boys are rarely taught self-care growing up, Mothers often handle everything.

Basic cleanliness and grooming are subconsciously coded as “feminine.”

Especially in hostel culture, bachelor flats, engineering colleges, startup houses, etc..there’s a weird pride around surviving chaos.

A guy has not changed his bedsheet for one month. Dirty mattresses, cigarette smell, random clothes everywhere, alcohol bottles lying around. People treat it like proof of toughness or “mard ban gaya.”

The strange part is not that these people exist. The strange part is that dirty living is treated like some badge of masculinity.

I have literally heard people entering my apartment and saying, ‘Ladke hoke itna saaf ghar kaise ho sakta hai?’ No. I just don’t enjoy living like an unhygienic idiot.

And the same mindset exists everywhere else too.

Indian male culture often confuses dirty living and poor hygiene with masculinity.
