How I expected my college life to be :
Bunk adichi thirinjikuvomae
Kadasiyilae padichikuvomae
How it turned out to be:
Naan pothunu vizhunden
Oru meena pola meena pola tharayila nelinjen.
Yaaro koodavae varuvaar yaaro paadhiyil povaar

To the girls whose trauma I share - a core memory, as my body keeps score:
It is not your shame.
It is not your fault.
A trauma that doesn’t scratch away, scrub away, wash away.
You did not deserve this.
You deserved music, you deserved fun, you deserved joy, you deserved a concert experience that made you cry; cry from joy you felt from the music, from feelings that evoked nostalgia
You deserved warmth, the shared euphoria from other fans as everyone sang along, shouted along, jumped along to songs that we love to vibe and groove to.
You deserved an experience that made you recount it with love, think of it with fondness and wish for the next one to make a beautiful new memory associated with this magical beautiful thing called music, with a musician we adore.
I wish you didn’t have to go through sexual harassment but you did and wish as I might that such experiences never happen to anyone, this wish doesn’t come to pass.
I wish only love and healing - and hope you have a loved one holding your hand.
Now…
You darned dingbats who are gaslighting those who recounted their sexual harassment;
You darned dingbats who said avoid crowds if you dont want to be molested;
You darned dingbats who asked if the girls were tweeting for engagement, views, attention what have you.
Thirundha maateengla da neenga???
if a man is policing how you dress you need to leave him idc that shit is toxic and will snowball into something worse in the future it's never just *one* little thing they don't like
This viral ‘Confession’ is more or less how arranged marriages work in India, no?
Males get a list of girls based on age, weight and skin colour in addition to ascending list of dowry she will bring + what she MAY bring in the future;
A cow that can continue to be milked is more attractive in the Indian arranged marriage market. As if men and their families make the choice of girl based on LOOUUE.
How many Indian families have weaponised this sevvai dosham / manglik nonsense? Or Pitr dosham or something else that someone would have interpreted? Any of these so called doshas can be easily silenced with money / gifts.

@Uber_India you're on strike 2 with me ( discounting the million other hassles I've had with the app.)
I have been harassed by an uber moto driver since January 30th 2023. I had taken a trip from a particular destination to my residence at 9:40 PM on January 27th.
@Uber_India@Uber_Support Story number 2. Chennai people, uber safety support is like the police from Tamil movies, arrives after everything is done. I was finishing up with some work, and travelling back from ECR to the city. My friend was supposed to drop me at Vannadhurai jtn
