unlearn shame. all forms of shame: unemployment, illness, vulnerability, longing, desire, errors, failures. you do not need to feel ashamed of what you are experiencing or living. freedom and shame cannot coexist.

Weird culture shock because every time I offer to pay for a gora friend's food, they just go, "Oh, thanks!" and let me 😭 No "Are you sure?". No "Next one's on me." No dramatic 3 min furious argument over the bill.

I was gonna pay anyway, but where's the performance???

i actually think "surface level" friendships are very healthy. not everyone in your life has to be your ride or die. some friends are for the gym. some are for going out. some are just for complaining about work or bureaucracy. when you stop expecting everyone to be your everything, the disappointment disappears. those deep convos and connections are for the 2-3 people closest to you

Passport bros accidentally marrying into collectivist cultures where son in laws are expected to financially support VERY extended family members will never not be hysterically funny

I have stopped traveling in sleeper class and 3rd AC due to these Dehatis.

1st AC and 2nd AC are still free from these gawars so far. Imagine being with such passengers for 12+ hours

I’m convinced “simp” was cleverly made up by men who realised they could eliminate the competition by rebranding effort and kindness as shameful and degrading

Sunil Shetty's granddaughter watching that interview after 15 years.

[fisher 🐟 @maroonfishes]

always taken aback by how incomprehensible the idea of hobbies and recreation is to desi people & especially elders. i've been crocheting a lot in the summer and anytime they see me working, they ask me why i even bother at all OR convince me to monetize my work

The day Instagram gets banned in India, half the fake drama, faltu reel baazi , nautanki in this country will disappear overnight.

A divorced Chief Minister is in an open relationship and there's no outrage at all. What kind of India is this? 😭

Imagine a currency so fucked, that just buying USD will give you almost as good returns as bank FDs.

Corporate office affairs in India be like:

married managers rawing 24yo interns in 5-star hotels after 'late night deliverables', wives at home feeding kids, HR pretending blind, cab rides smelling like perfume & guilt, then 9 AM stand-up like nothing happened. Everyone knows. No one talks.

[miia @miiagarro]

and for the lady, perhaps a deep cleaned house, cancelled plans, a new series to watch and zero human interaction?

thalapathy vijay today, allu arjun/prabhas maybe in future, but no one will be from bollywood because marathi log fans honge, chutiya nahi

[Preetam Rao @Preetam_M_Rao]

Lol these South Indians elect film actors as their CM. Such low IQ behaviour.

They should learn from us. We have elected Gangsters & Crime Lords as our ministers & CMs.

[feee @Shaileesgurl]

The first thing Vijay should do is end his divorce case with his wife and either marry or settle with that side chick, because it’s so weird how they’re normalizing an affair and her openly flaunting being his side chick as if something to be proud.

Story time: one of my mom’s friends’ husbands used to work in the USA while she was living in India. She had a broken phone for years when I asked her why dont you change your phone. You have two young kids and you live alone in a city like Delhi. She said, “It's her husband’s money, not hers.” Then when her husband came from the US, he got lots of gifts such as Apple products, tech, etc for his extended family and some clothes for his wife. He very generously gave her his old iPhone when he upgraded to a new one.

And this was one of the reasons I worked super hard to be independent.

Men could make a career, because they have a wife at home taking care of their home, their kids, and in most cases their parents too.

This is the cost of invisible labour.
