Sorry to interrupt your Sunday, friends.
I really hesitated to write this, but if I don’t speak up today, I will be facing a severe financial crisis within a week or two.
To be clear, I am not asking for charity or financial help. I am asking for work.
I have been completely without work for the last three months. My last project ended on June 30th, and since then I have knocked on every door I know—calling, texting, meeting contacts, and following up.
People say they will try, but after that first talk, the silence takes over. Calls go unanswered or get cut after a couple of rings. I honestly don't know whether the industry is shifting because of AI or if my age (52) is working against me, but despite over 13 years of solid experience in the field, nothing has materialized.
Now, my savings are down to the very end. I can barely hold out for another week or two.
I am a professional content writer, translator, and speaker who is comfortable on stage and in front of the camera. I write and translate fluently across Gujarati, Hindi, and English, with Gujarati being my strongest suit.
Many of you already know my grasp of politics and my political writing, but I am equally adept at covering Bollywood and cricket. My priority is media houses, digital platforms, or publications, but I am open to any genuine writing or translation opportunity.
I can work remotely or take up assignments on-site anywhere in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, as I need to be close to my elderly mother to take care of her health.
Because my situation is urgent, I am especially looking for quick-turnaround freelance assignments or immediate projects where payments can be settled on submission.
If you or anyone in your circle has work, please reach out to me directly in my DMs.
A humble, earnest request: while I deeply value your warmth, please refrain from sending just "best wishes" or "stay strong" messages right now. I am fighting hard to stay out of a very dark headspace, and right now, only actual work leads can pull me through.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for your support. My inbox is open. 🙏
Lawyers’ Association for Constitution writes to CJI Surya Kant raising concerns over the “out-of-turn” listing of a plea arising from strictures against the Noida District Magistrate and the muting of live proceedings during its hearing
The letter flags that the petitioner, a public servant, is the daughter of the Chief Election Commissioner of India and alleges that the matter was specially assigned to a particular Bench despite the prevailing roster
@MedhaRoopam #SupremeCourt
Suhel Seth a man accused by numerous women during #MeTooMovement for sexual misconduct and called a predator was invited by two women led organisations of Punjab FICCI Flo Ludhiana and Phulkari Women Amritsar celebrating this person. This isn’t women empowerment but a disgusting celebration of enabling an offender.
Punjab deserves better than listening to his blah blah @ficci_india@IPhulkari ????
This is what I've been saying. The #MeToo movement's most visible legal legacy is the one lawsuit where a #MeToo multiple-accused is suing his victim for defamation, dragging it on for maximum harasment, final hearing Delhi High Court Sept 24, and he will likely go to SC. Not a single #MeToo accused is paying for their misdeeds. Suhel Seth is repatriated, reassimilated, welcomed back into high society with open arms. Other senior executives, editors, they all got away with a laugh and a shake of the head. Tarun Tejpal long pre-dates #MeToo and will face justice only because he's on the wrong side of the establishment... now if only he had joined the BJP...
Nobody should be surprised. Not his first time, He has been doing this for years now. He reserves the worst venom for Muslims.

Most of the U.K. is now under drought orders & failing supply
Flashback to when it rained for 50 days straight 5 months ago. Build some reservoirs & fix leaks you thieving water company bastards
🤮 Why magazines need to stop letting sexual offenders moonlight as journalists because the country has many issues more pressing than just another big fat wedding
