@ShivrattanDhil1 Doctors are openly prescribing it. We went to a GP for my friends issue. The doc asked her to lose weight and in the same breath asked her to start her mounjaro journey promising her of immediate relief in a few days.

We don’t know what life has in store for us. Our rock bottom can be just a midpoint of our destiny. But then, we humans, by our sheer display of strength and perseverance can lift mountains off the chest of those listening to our survival story. https://t.co/4ShQpE5qsS

@elonmusk I’m curious about the future of the other vehicle/ person it rolls and lands on.

We want to bury our head in the sand hoping our optimism won’t backfire. The rule is to stay put wherever we are when things get stormy.

Initially, when I started hearing about this, I did not want to write about it so as not to sensationalise it.

Now many people are coming forward with what is happening to them.

Being laid off is not in your control, but please do not quit your job in the software industry.

People with even 10 to 20 years of experience are not getting even a single call after literally hundreds of applications.

Except in certain domains and niches, it looks like no meaningful recruitment is happening in the software industry. I am not only talking about entry level jobs. It is jobs at any level.

Sridhar Vembu has posted today that Zoho cannot give the usual pay hikes this year. A person who has created so much rural employment is now saying he will work hard towards avoiding mass layoffs.

Zoho has not been able to meaningfully add to its employee count for the last 18 months. As an ultimate insider, Vembu says the outlook is becoming grim for software jobs.

There is no magic wand to offer immediate solutions for such serious problems.

The past has taught us that new industries and new opportunities keep emerging.

That is what the entire software industry may also go through in the next few years.

Vembu ends the note by asking everyone to pray for them.

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. 🙏

I think 90 percent Indians don't know this even.

The Western Thappa That Turned Indian Buildings Into Ovens.

We copied a Western idea.

A towering, fully sealed glass building with central air-conditioning.

It looks modern. It looks global.

But is it designed for India? 🧵1/13

It may sound harsh, but in a way, Jamui reflects a large part of our society. Put a helpless, defenceless couple in a similar situation, and far too many perverts living among us would behave the same way.

Nirbhaya and the many similar crimes since then are not merely isolated incidents. They tell us something about the society that we have created.

And we all know this is not about this government or that government. It is about our society. It is about us.

Nirbhaya was not the first. Jamui will not be the last. That’s the unfortunate reality.

@RatanSharda55 When UPI was introduced, merchants would charge extra to cover for the tax levied on them & insist on cash payments. Travel to cities like- Amritsar, Ludhiana- you still have pay in cash at most of the places because that’s how they evade tax. We’ll repeat the same story now.

[Anna Sharma @AnnaSharma04]

@the_hindu What’s so wrong with people? Ganga Arti without Ganga ji??? If you really want to stay connected with your traditions stay back in your own country or do it when you visit India. As an Indian even I wouldn’t like a foreigner imposing their rituals on us.

@aravind Who are you really, Sir? I mean this is beyond data points.
You��ve become our go-to- reference point for any and all factual information.

Million words are not enough for this photograph from Nepal. A two and a half year old sister being protected by four year old brother. Perhaps, one of the most divine pictures of the century!

At some point, someone has to respond to this garbage, so allow me @priyankac19 and excuse my French, but what the fuck @ReallySwara ?

Jauhar was not a TED Talk about chastity. It was not a family honour killing. It was not a rape survivor being told to die. It was women looking at a breached fort and an incoming force whose habit, on the record, was to convert the women of a defeated court into harem stock. Kamala Devi of Gujarat did not “move on.” She was taken. Deval Devi was taken later and passed through that court like loot with a pulse. That is the second room in the house you keep deleting so your question can sound holy.

“Does a rape survivor not deserve to live after rape?”

Yes. In 2026. With a phone, a statute, a court, a hospital, a city to run to. Congratulations on discovering the Indian Constitution.

Now explain what that sentence has to do with women who had already lost the state. There was no FIR against Khalji. There was no Delhi to escape to. There was no climax dance where the vice-chancellor gets shamed and the credits roll. The state was the rapist. You are comparing a woman who can still leave the room to women whose room was the last room.

You shouted “chii” at a pregnant belly and decided the film was saying a girl child should not be born because a Muslim king might rape her. That is not analysis. That is you stuffing your column into someone else’s uterus. The shot is a woman who knows the child will not be born into a family. It will be born into inventory. You turned a funeral into a communal talking point and called the funeral the problem.
Then you asked what we are choosing to glorify.

Fine. Let’s use your scale.
You spent a career demanding that cinema stare at female sexuality without flinching. In Veere Di Wedding the country was asked to sit through you with a vibrator while your on-screen husband walked in. You defended it. You said it should shock people into laughter, not disgust. You said women are more than their private parts, in the same breath as the scene that made your private parts the poster. When you put sex on screen, it is agency. When Rajput women refuse to hand their sex to the men who just killed their city, you felt “reduced to a vagina.” That letter was not a theory of personhood. It was a tantrum about which vagina the camera is allowed to serve.

You keep saying the film tells survivors they are cowards for living. No. You are telling dead women they are cowards for refusing a harem. That is the inversion. A survivor who lives today is not a coward. A woman who walked into fire rather than become a concubine of the man who sacked her fort was not a coward either. Both things can be true because they are not the same event. You flattened them on purpose. A flattened event is easier to moralise. It is also a lie.

Nobody is asking modern India to revive jauhar. The film carried a disclaimer. History is allowed to be shown as history. What you want is a rule that the only permitted female death on screen is the kind that flatters your politics, and the only permitted female sex is the kind that flatters your brand.

So here is the actual simple question, since you asked for one:

When the choices are ash or a lifetime as sexual property of the men who just finished the massacre, and some women choose ash; who is the barbarian? The women in the fire, or the commentator in Delhi calling them a bad message for rape statistics?

You don’t get to loot their context, rename their refusal “chastity culture,” and then pose as the only adult in the room who cares whether survivors live. Survivors should live. The women in that scene were trying not to become the next consignment. If that distinction is too fine for you, the problem is not Padmaavat. The problem is that you need history to be a poster.
