Whether in Kerala, Tamil Nadu or Bengal, the first lesson of any election analysis is not to attack the voter. Instead, try to understand why they voted in the way they did, and learn and adapt.

If you think a life partner is the missing piece of your jigsaw, you should not marry.

Marriage works only when you already feel whole on your own and if you cannot be content by yourself, you will not suddenly become content with another person in your life

A partner cannot create meaning for you. If you outsource your happiness or purpose to them, you will never feel fulfilled, no matter how extraordinary they are.

As a man:

-If u get home before ur wife and know how to cook, prepare the food from time to time.
-If u finish eating, u can take ur plate to the kitchen and wash it off urself.
-If the market place is on ur route, ask ur wife if she needs anything and get them if it's not an inconvenience.
-Help the kids with their assignments.
-Assist with laundry like ironing, folding, etc.

You are part of the house.

I was curious about ‘God’ when I was 12. Over time, I outgrew it and realised that debating the existence of ‘God’ is one of the most pointless discourses in society. So no, I don’t plan to watch Javed Akhtar vs Mufti debate and I couldn’t care less about who “won” or “lost”.

Men: women expire after 25.
Reality: that’s when adult brains fully develop and when we stop falling for your bullshit

[Chinmayi Sripaada @Chinmayi]

People have come to a point where they are actually making a joke about a real life sexual assault case in a film whose ‘quotation giver’ has still not been found.

Hell is probably better than here.

A working husband comes home to rest, while a working wife comes home to start her second shift. The problem isn’t women’s independence, it’s men’s dependence.

Rushdie was attacked by Islamists all his life, and his book was banned in India by INC govt. So when he calls out the restrictions on free speech in today’s India, BJP supporters have nowhere to hide because their usual tactic is to brand the critics as Islamists or INC agents.

Homosexual character in a homophobic society.
Upper caste antagonist in an anti caste film.
Chaathan in a B/W movie.
Luke Antony in Rorschach.
The classic Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam.
And now, a psychopath serial killer in a crime drama.

That’s #Mammootty flexing his 70s🐐

why is the pressure to “be the bigger person’’ always placed on the person who was wronged?

People love emotionally intelligent people until it stops benefitting them.They love how you listen, how you understand, how you make things feel safe.

But the second that same emotional intelligence asks for honesty, effort, or accountability, it suddenly becomes “too much.”

They don’t mind your depth as long as it doesn’t require them to go deeper too.They want your calm, not your boundaries.
Your empathy, not your truth.
Your understanding, not your mirror.

Emotional intelligence sounds nice until it exposes the parts of someone they’ve spent their whole life avoiding.

Feminism is a left-wing movement. You can't be a right-winger, a centrist or apolitical and call yourself a feminist. If you're a feminist, you have to have left-leaning politics. Anything else just makes you a hypocrite.

[Libriscent @libriscent]

You can't mistreat people and then act like they betrayed you. That's delusional. You can’t disregard someone’s feelings, take their kindness for weakness, or constantly put them last — and then be surprised when they finally choose to walk away. People may stay silent for a while, they may endure more than they should, but everyone has a breaking point. Loyalty doesn’t mean accepting abuse, and love doesn’t mean tolerating disrespect.

You don’t get to lie, manipulate, ignore, or belittle someone, and then play the victim when they no longer trust you. You don’t get to treat people as if they’re disposable and then be confused when they no longer make you a priority. Relationships — whether friendships, family bonds, or romantic connections — are built on mutual respect, effort, and understanding. Without those, they crumble, not because someone gave up, but because someone got tired of being hurt.

Remove the concept of Arrange marriages from India, and you'll see how hard it becomes for Indian men to find a partner and get married on their own. The majority of men here don't even know the basics of interacting with females.

All they have is shallow pride rooted in nothing

As a woman who genuinely cares about women’s rights I would, of course, support a ban on face coverings with immediate effect.
