Dear @JioCare, the constant “No Service” issue, call drops, and people getting the message that my phone is switched off or out of network coverage when it’s actually on is beyond frustrating. Your customer service is pathetic, and the network quality has become terrible. #Jio

You are absorbing more in a single day than your grandparents processed in a month. Notifications, opinions, outrage, disasters, advertisements, noise. Your nervous system was not built for this. The reset you're looking for isn't a supplement or more information. It's a walk without your phone. Dinner with no screen. A bedtime that respects you body. A pause for fresh air, sunshine, and laughter. Log off the internet more often. Your nervous system wasn't built to carry the weight of the whole world all day, every day. When you feel safe within yourself, you help others feel safe too.

With the passing of Dr. Bashir Badr, a glorious chapter of the modern Urdu ghazal comes to an end. He was a poet of the masses, bringing Urdu poetry out of complex metaphors and into the beating hearts of everyday people. From love to profound philosophy, he wrote with unparalleled grace.

After a long struggle with his health, Badr Sahab passed away today. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and fans.

Alvida Bashir Badr Sahab | Rest In Peace.

Delhi Judicial Service Association condemns the recording and viral circulation of video clips from court proceedings at Rohini Courts, calling it "a direct assault on the dignity, independence and majesty of the judicial institution."

The Association also said "the independence of the judiciary is non-negotiable" and has urged the Delhi High Court to direct deletion of the clips from social media.

I once heard a line from Shah Rukh Khan that stayed with me;

“Jab time aapka bura chal raha ho, tab zyada haath-pair maarne ki ya har cheez par react karne ki zarurat nahi hoti. Bas shaant ho kar baith jao. Bura time hai, woh apne aap nikal jayega. Jo bhi aapka kaam hai, bas woh karte raho, lekin panic mat karo, overreact mat karo, aur har problem ko zabardasti turant fix karne ki koshish mat karo.”

And honestly, this might be one of the most practical pieces of wisdom.

When things go wrong, our instinct is to panic, react, overthink, and try to control everything.

But many times the smartest move is simply patience.

1. Stay calm

2. Keep doing your work

3. Don’t overreact

4. Let the bad phase pass

Because time changes everything.

Sometimes the storm doesn’t need you to fight it, it just needs you to sit still until it passes.

Indian parenting is pressure cooker parenting. One of the worst models globally. Not because parents are evil. But because the system is broken and no one questions it.

Most Indian parents didn’t raise children. They raised outcomes.

Children are treated like owned assets - Not individuals, not independent humans. Parents decide what you study, what you become, how you live, how you think, whom you marry, etc… Mental health, interest, curiosity, aptitude, all are irrelevant. The logic is simple. You are my child, you will do what I say.

Most parents transfer their unfinished dreams directly onto their child. The child becomes a project. A second chance. A retirement plan.

Not because the child wants it, but because the parent couldn’t become it.

Failure in India is treated like a crime! If a child fails an exam, the reaction is not concern - It is shame, and the child is scolded. Parents worry less about the child well being and more about how they will answer ‘society and relatives’

This creates an unwritten contract. The child never agrees to it. The parent doesn’t even realise it exists. Parents genuinely believe they are securing the child future. Psychologically, they are securing their own unresolved failure.

Questioning is seen as disrespect - The child who questions becomes the ‘bad’ one. Silence is seen as ‘Sanskaar’ Parents themselves were raised this way, controlled, unquestioning, emotionally suppressed. So the cycle repeats.

You could be more informed than your parents, more educated, more aware, still you are not allowed to challenge them.

So children grow up emotionally trapped. Questioning feels like betrayal. Disagreement feels like guilt. Silence becomes safety.

Now let’s zoom out little bit more - A society where questioning inside the home is punished will never produce questioning thinkers outside it. Indians are not trained to ask hard questions. We are trained to comply. Ask tough questions and you are labelled arrogant, rude, out of control

So children grow up afraid to question. Afraid to disagree. Afraid to think independently.

Then comes society - Neighbours, relatives, and this toxic comparison culture. Someone else’s kid achieved XYZ. Suddenly, your child must do the same! IQ doesn’t matter, interest doesn’t matter, and capability doesn’t matter. What matters is only IMAGE.

Indian parents are terrified of society opinion. Too scared to answer relatives. Too scared to push back. So they dump that fear onto their kids. They can’t fight society, so they dominate their children.

Indian parents are terrified of society opinion. Too afraid to respond to relatives. Too scared to push back. So they dump that fear onto their kids. They can’t fight society, so they dominate their children.

And let’s be honest - This cowardice comes from generations of patriarchy and obedience. Parents themselves never learned to say NO. So they don’t teach their kids how to either.

Parents think they are doing good - But subconsciously, they are doing damage. Not intentionally. But damage doesn’t care about intent.

This is not parenting - This is outsourcing personal failure onto the next generation.

Yesterday, I was watching the match on Hindi commentary, with Chahal alongside Sehwag and Harbhajan and honestly, it was uncomfortable to watch. They kept teasing him non-stop: calling him “lakdi,” “dubla-patla,” taunting him about his RCB exclusion, even mocking him with things like pole-dancing jokes and other references. It went on throughout the commentary.

You could clearly see Jatin Sapru trying to divert the conversation, but they kept circling back to making fun of Chahal.

Being a senior doesn’t give anyone the license to humiliate someone on national television. The whole world is watching. Seniority comes with responsibility, and a player’s self-respect matters. Light banter is one thing but turning the entire broadcast into a running joke at someone’s expense is just… weird. And just because Yuzi kept smiling and replying “haan bhaiya” doesn’t mean he wasn’t uncomfortable.

One strange thing nobody prepares you for in this profession is how normal injustice starts feeling.

Not big injustice. Not headline-worthy stuff. Small, routine unfairness.

A matter adjourned for no real reason.
A file lost and everyone pretending it’s fine. A client blamed for a system failure.
A junior humiliated casually or A litigant waiting years because “that’s how it works”.

At first, these things bother you deeply.
You rant about them. You feel angry. You feel helpless. Then something dangerous happens.

You adjust.

You start budgeting your outrage.
You pick which unfairness is worth reacting to and which one you’ll quietly accept so the day can move on.

The scary part isn’t that the system is flawed.

It’s that professionals inside it learn how to live with those flaws without constantly feeling disturbed. Not because they are bad people. But because constant moral shock is exhausting.

And that’s where the real ethical challenge lies. Not in grand corruption. But in deciding, every day, how much unfairness you are willing to normalise just to survive.

I don’t have a solution to this. I’m not even sure there is one.

But I think it’s worth asking ourselves this occasionally that at what point does “being practical” quietly turn into being numb? And how do you stay functional without slowly losing your discomfort with things that shouldn’t be normal at all?

Would genuinely like to hear how others think about this.

[Deadly Law @DeadlyLaw]

At some point in this profession, you realise law isn’t really about law. It’s about understanding rooms.

Courtrooms, chambers, conferences each with its own politics, moods, and silent rules. You think you’re here to argue cases, but half the job is reading people.
A judge who’s already made up their mind.
A senior performing confidence like theatre. A colleague who knows nothing yet speaks like a constitutional founder.
A client who lies enthusiastically but demands honesty from the system.

And in the middle of all this, your only real skill is staying composed. Because the uncomfortable truth is this:
Law rewards emotional stamina more than raw intelligence.

The calm lawyer outlasts the brilliant one.
The patient one outruns the loud one.
The day you understand how absurd this all is… and still decide to show up again, is the day you finally fit into this profession.
