I would love to see UC diaspora, bollywood celebrities, influencers, brands and the whole rest of them, who were so vocally critical of police violence in America, to even say ONE WORD on this government’s homegrown terrorist in a uniform. But that’s wishful thinking.
Qarib Qarib Single is one of the most underrated Irrfan Khan films. You can't stop smiling when he is on the screen. He literally owns every line; it's a joy to watch him be this guy. It's streaming on Netflix. Watch it if you haven't already & you'll know why I chose this image!
During the frightening early months of the Covid pandemic, a palliative care physician finds herself silently mouthing a familiar mantra: I'm OK. We're OK. We'll be OK. But she is not OK. https://t.co/nPtFZ24AMa
