Finished #TMM2023 in 4:50. Would take this considering my sub-par training. The support from Mumbaikars was extra-ordinary. Special love to all the kids who cheered all of us. Feels great to be back on the road!

Don’t worry these things are cyclical.

I’m sorry what?

Can we please identify this bastard.

Who would believe that this is Badrinath. And some idiots replying on this are saying that this is good for GDP. How crass and how ill informed. Will the custodians of Hindutva stand up and speak against this commercialization at one of our most sacred dhams.

@Dadsaysjokes Wake up!

I once had an interview with Azeem when I was looking for my first job.

I was young, excited, wanting to become a writer.

East India Comedy used to work from a 3-BHK at the time. Sahil Shah had helped me land the interview.

Azeem looks at my CV and the first thing he tells me is - "I have blocked you on Twitter."

I thought it was a strange way to begin an interview. I had never interacted with him on Twitter. We never had even an exchange or any conversation.

So he opens my profile on his laptop, unblocks me (so he can access the Tweets) and then scrolls down and reads a few tweets till he finds one particular tweet and says - "Ah yes, it was this one."

AIB at that time had made a video where they made jokes on cows / gaumutra in the sketch. I had put out a tweet stating that it was easy for comics to make jokes on Hinduism but I've never seen them take such liberty with other religions / faiths / beliefs. And that they were not equal opportunity offenders.

I was asked to 'explain' this tweet. And so I did. And it led to a discussion and argument for over 10 minutes, where I was repeatedly told I was wrong, after which the interview ended. I had applied to be a 'writer' and I was asked nothing about it - what I had written, what I wanted to write, my skillsets and so no. Nothing.

I was too young to be confident or have strong self belief, and I walked out thinking maybe I shouldn't have put out that tweet - it cost me this job.

What I found strange even back then, was that a person much senior to me in the profession, would be fixated on some tweet, and was not open to another opinion or point-of-view that was different from his.

Surely, it would help to have people with different views writing for a news satire show?

I was naive.

The goal is never diversity of thought or opinion.

The view or angle is always pre-decided. All they need is people to further it.

@nitingodbole Same ahe!

Don't make the mistake of calling the thugs in Bihar's Jamui 'moral police'. They're rapists & child molesters. JDU, part of Bihar ruling alliance, calls it "small incident". Only 3 arrested. All deserve life in prison--or worse. Top story on @NDTV: https://t.co/8Xwkvb8aDb

Ideally every professors from each IITs should boycott teaching from tomorrow. That’s the only thing our political class understands.

@nikhilkamathcio Thank you! Finally this idea has been executed.

@bhaumikgowande I hope they don’t relent. I have seen these houses. Feels so good while walking past them.

@MensHumor This is universal!

[Yashwant Deshmukh 🇮🇳 @YRDeshmukh]

It was not road rage but a clear attempt to murder. It would be a shame if this person gets off lightly. Justice is not just to be done, it must be seen by the public at large that it was done fair and square.

@ina_mina_dika You must listen ‘Khanabadosh’ and the title song from the same album.

गाड़ी : HR 30Y 4949 ने बाइक पे जा रही लड़की को टक्कर मार के भाग गया,
और लड़की की बाइक 100m से ज़्यादा सड़क पे घिसटती हुई गई।

बहुत तेज इन लफ़ंगो को पकड़ के थाने के बाहर वाली फ़ोटो सोशल मीडिया पे आनी चाहिए।
