কাল ব্রিগেড সমাবেশ! আমি না থেকেও থাকবো, চোখ রাখবো। বাংলা ইনসাফ যাত্রার পাশে দাঁড়াবে, শিরদাঁড়া শক্ত রাখবে — এই কামনা করি।

#journorequest Recently got fleeced by a well-known hospital in Bengaluru where the bill for a day’s admission was way beyond my comprehension, and included random stuff I didn’t consent to. If you have foot huge, unnecessary admission bill, please get in touch? It’s for a story.

My father asked me why I don’t watch cricket any more. I told him because it is not cricket any more. He didn’t believe me. Now he knows why.

Facts stare at the face of anyone who is not forcing themselves to be blind.

I lived in Germany for 9 months, and I got sick of the everyday German performative-apologist-attitude that normalises Jewish colonialism. Hypocrites.

As a Jewish kid I was taught that Israel is a small, defenseless, fledgling nation that everyone wants to attack just because it’s Jewish.

Reality: Israel is a vital colony in the US military empire, receiving billions of dollars annually to support its ongoing imperial genocide

All major Indian trade unions have called upon the govt to scrap agreement with Israel to export Indian workers & appealed to workers to boycott Israeli products & refuse to handle Israeli cargo. #BDS #Gaza
