@rona_forlife One full ginger kitten is male. The other 3 are female. Around 5 weeks old.

I feel everyone who wants to adopt a kitten in bangalore should keep me informed because I can't go one month without finding kittens!

@rona_forlife I can't keep doing this 😭😭😭

Okay so for Indiranagar folks, there's a new place opening tomorrow (at 8 am) called The Dual Room and apparently the first 100 drinks are free

@SoundsHarsh I dont see the hate moving away frm Ria Chopra tho

Also One Direction received hate because their fan base primarily consisted of young women

Ppl could also avoid reading Ria's book but a few are hate-reading so they can post hate tweets, just ignore her like a male author na

[In her sandwich-making era @ItsAllDandy_]

Okay so long thread ahead.

Ria Chopra gets a disproportionate amount of hate which can only be explained as misogyny when you haven't read the book. If you have read it and disliked it, perfectly fair and completely okay to critique THE BOOK.

1/n

some of you have such an innate need to sound edgy that you don't even recognise misogyny

[In her sandwich-making era @ItsAllDandy_]

@SoundsHarsh But that's my whole point. Why does the zietgeist move on from them?

If we are talking debut books, Acts of God by Kanan Gill. I don't remember seeing any tweets dragging his book on a weekly basis.

Another debut novel published last year, Lonely People Meet, not one hate tweet

@SoundsHarsh His last book came out in Oct 2025, 2 months prior to Ria's. And I have not seen any recent viral tweets against him or his book.

Yes he used to be ridiculed a lot but he is now given the benefit of being ignored, a grace not offered to Ria

@HighschoolMelo exactly. the worst that male authors will receive is being ignored. You won't see people taking cheap shots at them on a weekly basis. You won't see threads on what terrible authors they are or how their writing is "slop"

[In her sandwich-making era @ItsAllDandy_]

@SoundsHarsh But how many times in a week do you see a tweet dragging chetan bhagat receiving thousands of likes? I only see it when his book is released.

Ria Chopra's book was released last year. She still gets dragged on twitter.

intensity of the scrutiny.

Women are endlessly dissected for minor mistakes, while male celebrities guilty of far worse like abuse, exploitation, violence etc continue to receive support, excuses, and silence.

7/7

[In her sandwich-making era @ItsAllDandy_]

but many of the same people stay silent when male celebrities associate with openly harmful figures or face serious allegations themselves

Is it misogynistic to criticise a woman? Obviously not. Women should be held accountable like anyone else. But the issue is the scale and

[Aditya Chauhan @sirfaditya]

Having to read Ria Chopra would be the second worst experience in Ruskin Bond’s life after Emergency
