good morning people, kohli plays cricket today and just like that the sun came out, the flowers started blooming, the birds are chirping, the air is fresher, the grass is greener, the sky is bluer and life is worth living again
There should be a strong online norm against speaking ill of children online. Does not matter if they're wearing a funny outfit or a MAGA hat or acting "gay." Being a kid can be tough and using them as fodder for jokes or clicks online, esp if you're adult, is loser behavior.
i have 5,746 films in my letterboxd watchlist. sometimes i come across a film that i really want to watch but i know it'll get lost in the watchlist and hence lost from my memory. so i started a new list called 'Immediate Watchlist'. this list now has 463 films
For India to improve, signal free corridors for politicians should go.
Let them get stuck in traffic, look around, see the issues instead of taking “ground report” from IAS officers.
Politicians live in a bubble & it takes minimum 5 business years for a problem to reach them.
₹50 Crore Per Person should be the MINIMUM COMPENSATION for families of those who die due to collapsing bridges, falling metro slabs, train accidents, stampedes, open manholes, contaminated water, adulterated food and medicines, potholes, or any disaster caused by government negligence.
You’ll see how quickly such accidents stop occurring.
It is the low cost assigned to human life that enables repeated failures and corruption within the system. When accountability becomes expensive, negligence becomes rare.
Let me be very clear. If bringing down the largest child sex trafficking ring in history will “collapse the world as we know it” then the world as we know it needs to collapse.
No one knows you. No one has a story about who you are. No one is waiting for you to be the person you were yesterday. You're just a stranger in a chair by the window, watching a city that doesn't need anything from you.
It's the feeling that anything could happen. That the world is bigger than the walls you built around yourself back home. That the life you've been living is just one version of a life, and there are others, and they're not as far away as you thought.
At home, you're fixed. Known. You fit into a shape that other people recognize, and after a while, you forget you're even in a shape at all. But here, alone, somewhere new, the shape dissolves. You could be anyone. You could be more of yourself than you've ever been. No one is watching to see if you stay consistent.
A friend told me that now that they've had a child, her husband can't bear to watch movies in which bad things happen to kids. Same here. That was one of the most surprising things about having children. You're not just protective of your own children, but children in general.
