Shooting at malls. Shooting at bars. Shooting at schools. Shooting at rallies. Shooting on tourists. Shooting on diners. Shooting on babies. Shooting even at the President despite all the security. Drugs, Guns, and Crimes everywhere.

And other countries are "Hellhole?" Right.

You could cast Arun Govil himself and it’d still turn out shit. Because the problem with this film is its doormat syndrome, not casting. I mean casting is bad but an insignificant blip next to this cringe urge to please the White Man’s gaze. Valmiki imagined Rama as Rama, not Odin. Ravana as Ravana, not a jungle orc. This trend to “chadify” Hindu deities will keep ruining every 21st century work on the subject, whatever the cast, whatever the scale. And AI…well, the less said the better. Congrats to whoever got to launder 4,000 crore. Kudos. 👏🏽

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

Last one on this topic, and I have been holding this in myself for a while.

For centuries, class divides kept the labor of the poor invisible to the rich. Factory workers toiled behind walls, farmers in distant fields, domestic help in backrooms. The wealthy consumed the fruits of that labor without ever seeing the faces or the fatigue behind it. No direct encounter, no personal guilt.

The gig economy shattered that invisibility, at unprecedented scale.

Suddenly, the poor aren't hidden away. They're at your doorstep: the delivery partner handing over your ₹1000+ biryani, late-night groceries, or quick-commerce essentials. You see them in the rain, heat, traffic, often on borrowed bikes, working 8–10 hours for earnings that give them sustenance. You see their exhaustion, their polite smile masking frustration with life in general.

This is the first time in history at this scale that the working class and consuming class interact face-to-face, transaction after transaction. And that discomfort with our own selves is why we are uncomfortable about the gig economy. We want these people to look our part, so that the guilt we feel while taking orders from them feels less.

We aren't just debating economics. We are confronting guilt. That ₹800 order might equal their entire day's earnings after fuel, bike rent, and app cuts. We tip awkwardly, or avoid eye contact, because the inequality is no longer abstract. It's personal.

Pre-gig era, the rich could enjoy luxury without moral discomfort. Labor was out of sight. Now, every doorbell ring is a reminder of systemic inequality. That's why debates explode. It's not just policy. It's emotional reckoning. Some defend the system (“they choose it”), others demand change (“this isn't progress, its exploitation”).

And here’s the uncomfortable twist: the unsaid ask of clumsy ‘solutions’ isn’t dignity. It is about returning to invisibility.

Ban gig work and you don’t solve inequality. You remove livelihoods. These jobs don’t magically reappear as formal, protected employment the next day. They disappear, or they get pushed back into the informal economy where there are even fewer protections and even less accountability. Over-regulate it until the model breaks, and you achieve the same outcome through paperwork instead of slogans: the work evaporates, prices rise, demand collapses, and the people we claim to protect are the first to lose income.

And then what happens?

The rich get their old comfort back. Convenience returns without faces. Guilt dissolves. We go back to clean abstractions and moral posturing from a distance. The poor don’t become safer, they become invisible again: back in cash economies, back in backrooms, back in shadows where regulation rarely reaches and dignity isn’t even debated.

The gig economy just exposed the reality of inequality to the people who previously had the luxury of not seeing it. The doorbell is not the problem. The question is what we do after opening the door.

Visibility is the price of progress. We can either use this discomfort to build something better (which we keep doing continuously as delivery partners are our backbone), or we can ban and over-regulate our way back into ignorance. One of those choices improves lives. The other simply helps the consuming class feel virtuous in the dark.

I traveled in Vande Bharat yesterday
Reached Egmore at 11 pm
Reached Home and realised that I kept by Wrist Watch in the Rest Room and forgot to take it back

12:28 am Lodged a Complaint in Railmadad Website : Gave my PNR Number, Coach and Seat details and written a brief complaint

12:31 am Got a Call from Railway Helpline : Confirming the complaint

12:34 am Got an SMS from Railway Helpline

12:49 am Got a Call from RPF saying that the vehicle has gone to yard and they have asked to check in Yard

01:12 am Got a message from Whatsapp with Two Photos of my watch

01:13 am Got the second call from RPF saying that they have found a watch and wanted to check whether it is mine

This is Amazing Work from all concerned
To be frank this is not even a "complaint". There is nothing wrong by the Railways. It was my mistake to keep the watch in the train.

Within 40 minutes of my complaint in the website, in the midnight, for no fault of theirs, a dozen people have worked.
Some one has registeed the complaint and informed the RPF
RPF has noted it
Some one has checked the platform and foud the train had gone to year
Some one has informed the yard
Some one in Yard had given instructions
Some one had gone to the train and found the watch
They have taken taken photo and passed it back the command chain
They have send the image to me and confirmed

They have informed the Helpline and I got a message that the complaint had been closed

Today Morning, I went to the Station, gave a letter requesting the watch, xerox copies of my ticket and Aadhar and got back my watch after signing the register

Big Shout out to all the dedicated workers of Southern Railways and Railway Protection Force

Moral : Keep Calm and Trust Government
Moral : கடமையை செய் (Raise a Complaint immediately) பலனை எதிர்பார்

Dombivli flyover: Took ₹20 crores and 8 years to complete, shut down within 24 hours due to a slippery surface causing accidents, followed by the appearance of potholes.

Perhaps the finest modern engineering marvel of India to date.

Your entire life will change the day you realize discipline is the highest form of self-respect. It’s choosing what you want most over what you want now. It’s keeping your word. It’s an act of service to your future self.

How Indian spy movies are made:

Opens with villain destroying some Indian asset somewhere and challenging the Indian govt that he is coming for them.

Next scene, IB, RAW, ministers having a round table meeting about the villain while his 4K images play on the monitor. Intel chief tells the Defence Minister that the villain is ex-RAW or ex-Special Forces but turned against India because either he was abandoned on some mission, or didn’t get uchit samman, or was reprimanded for going against the rules.

Minister says, ab kya? Isko kaise rokenge? Everyone says, call the Army. Intel chief says, nahi, ye kaam sirf ek aadmi kar sakta hai. Hero. Then monologue in praise of the hero, background me hero ki slo-mo entry.

Hero ki help ke liye jayegi Special Agent Natasha. Kyu? Abhi to aapne kaha tha ye kaam woh akela kar sakta hai. Haan, lekin Natasha ka figure achha hai. Action scenes ke beech me gaane waane honge, usme bikini pehan kar ghoomegi. Isliye she is needed.

Then comes the mission. Cat and mouse game. Action scenes, beech me nanga naach, slow-motion explosions, unnecessary bike chases, and villain saying "You don’t know who I am!" every 20 minutes.

Then villain kills intel chief or someone big, preferably the one who believed in the hero. Hero gets serious. Sad montage. Flashbacks. Background score intensifies.

Again cat and mouse. Hero gets shot but still fights 20 men while bleeding. Hero wins. Villain dies, or escapes with a scar for sequel, or has change of heart and sacrifices himself "for the nation."

Heroine crying. Hero walking into the sunset. Everyone salutes. Background me PM ka voiceover: "Aaj desh ek aur baar bach gaya." Tricolour waving in 4K drone shot. Jai Hind. Fade out.
