10 rules of biscuits:
1. When opening a packet, any broken biscuits must be consumed immediately.
2. Never dunk a biscuit for too long, you will ruin both your biscuit and your tea. Double sadness.
3. Always offer biscuits to guests, even if they claim they're not interested (they're probably fibbing).
4. Don't be the person who snatches the last biscuit of a kind unless you're prepared to face the consequences - i.e. a new enemy.
5. Always offer a hot drink with biscuits, obviously.
6. Bring out a posh selection of biscuits (metal tin, two layers separated by a sheet of springy purple cardboard, usually called a “collection”) for special occasions.
7. Always pretend you haven’t seen a plate of biscuits being passed around until they’re offered to you, then act pleasantly surprised.
8. Utilise the phrases “I really mustn’t”, “ooh, go on then” and “if you’re having one”.
9. Wrap biscuits up when not in use, either by pushing the open packet up against a wall, or by using a jar, tin or box.
10. Always have more biscuits in stock than you think you need. Never run out. Running out of biscuits is like running out of air: not ideal.
There are many more rules, but these 10 provide a good starting point.
Today Zoya Akthar was introduced on @TheDailyShow as India’s number one director. For most people unaware of the Indian movie industry, basically 99% of Daily Show’s audience, this will become true. One reason could be that the host was @kalpenn , who was literally grovelling in front of her for a part, but these things aren’t also spur of the moment, it was obviously something that was a PR-decided thing. Zoya didn’t even pretend to correct him.
What an absolute injustice to so many extraordinary directors working now in India, in different languages, by a director of supreme privilege who makes movies with people of supreme privilege (Archie’s, ZNMD), sometimes too about people of no privilege (Gully Boy).

@merqrial To begin with, the issue with the movie was, it was a movie. Fitting the dense characters and storylines in 2 hrs was always going to be challenging. At least this is a series, that's a start.

The most endearing part I found, is folks from from both left & right ideallogies coming together. Friendships are bigger than left wing & right wing!
So touching and so beautifully done. The people in the film industry always seem to come together when needed. Well done @AnupamPKher. I only met Satish Kaushik once or twice, saw him on stage, but there was an endearing quality to him. This is a lovely way to remember him.
To our great friend and guide in so many things Awadh, you will be sorely missed Sir and your wisdom be longed for. Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun - Rocky
A patient told me today..
“I eat only Langda mangoes. I am from Uttar Pradesh. Only Langda is mango. Other mangoes are not mangoes, I hope they become mangoes one day”
Which is your favourite mango?
