Is it just me or the mascot of Flipkart sale--the goat with the crown and the devil horns--making everyone else uncomfortable too?

Every single takedown of Saurabh Dwivedi's acting in Kartavya is hilarious. It is a reminder to eat ghee because in old age, your muscles start leaving your bones. In such times of crisis, it is fat in your tissues that comes to the rescue. I hope that made sense.

Hey Children's textbooks,

Donkeys are not hardworking animals. We make them work hard.

Cows don't give us milk. We take the milk.

Hens don't give us eggs. There is no choice.

We help ourselves with the world's resources. The least we could do is not hide behind language.

Just realized there is no logout from WhatsApp button. So if you want to log out to thwart a hacking attempt, good luck.

Interesting how when Steve Bucknor was umpiring, Indians had to appeal after straightforward catches and even clean bowled wickets. The man was the most diabolical villain for the Indian Cricket Team.

Someone tell @netmeds that their AI-generated YouTube ads are getting creepier and lazier by the day. There is no lip sync anymore and two people are talking to each other while looking in strange directions. Just get human actors, guys. It is getting weird.

Samay Raina, somewhat cryptically, says that as a meat eater, you can have veggies but you can't have meat as a vegetarian. When viewed in context, this applies to drama and even wrestling. For a heel, it is easy to do a face turn. But it is so difficult for a face to turn heel.

Covid had taught us one important thing that we quickly forgot. When the chips are down, the vegans, the health nuts, the offroaders--they all go into hiding. What remains is the nuts and bolts of diet. The debate about farm vs organic, eggs/ milk vs plants: reeks of privilege.

Welcome to the new age internet. If you are seeing this post, something's wrong. The algorithm has a glitch. This is a post critical of the very structure it resides in.

If everything feels planned or curated, it's because it is. From downfalls to comebacks, everything is fake.

Also Rakesh Bedi shines in character roles. He can be a great villain or dramatic actor too. It is just that his comic timing and sense is impeccable. Similarly, I used to love whenever Rajesh Puri used to come on screen. Perhaps the same can be said about him.

[Dr Abhyudaya Shrivastava @CaptainnVyom]

Rakesh Bedi has always been a good actor. I am happy he is getting his flowers now. He is part of the army of actors I loved back in the day. I also loved Rajesh Puri, Javed Jaffrey, Shekhar Suman, Pavan Malhotra, Deepak Qazir, Ashok Banthia and many more.

Yesterday's T20 World Cup semifinal between India and England was something, eh? For India, it was literally a team effort. It was like a multi-starer Bollywood movie with cameos from different superstars.

Just letting everyone know that the mosquitoes are back.

[Dr Abhyudaya Shrivastava @CaptainnVyom]

The world is talking about Akshaye Khanna's screen presence in Dhurandhar. Meanwhile, Rakesh Bedi dropped a masterclass in comic timing and proved why he is the ultimate emperor of situational comedy. He is one of the few subtle, restrained actors. Never got his full due.

@theskindoctor13 I guess black coffee is healthier but it's not tastier. Something about coffee and fat globules of milk emulsifying and creating a flavour bomb. That's not possible with water. Healthier, sure.

Scroll up, scroll down. This Twitter feed of yours has been designed to provoke you. Most hooks are ragebaits, most conclusions are inflammatory. The trick to survive is to constantly remind yourself:
This is not real.
This is not news.
This is entertainment.
Do not engage.

New age peak disappointment is getting invested in a social media post only to find out midway that it is AI-generated.

If something like the Minneapolis incident is caught so clearly on camera, how is there a debate in the US about what happened? Did everyone not see what transpired? And how is the blantantly lying side winning?

Watched Baramulla on @NetflixIndia. For a movie that deals with paranormal themes, I did not expect such poignance and sublimeness. It deals tenderly with the concept of wayward youths in Kashmir.
