If you are working out, especially if you've just started, don't miss Mondays!

Democracy so vibrant that we are absolutely blinded!

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

One thing is clear: the Delhi protesters want to plunge India into chaos, and stop the nation's progress. We must defeat this malicious agenda, which is aided and abetted by powers that want to destroy India.

We have a vibrant democracy and elections are the proper way to express our collective judgment.

Suddenly ranting here because I opened LinkedIn and my brain got fried

[Milline @MirnaliniV]

I have been waking up at 5.45am om weekdayd (and some Saturdays) cause I have to cook, pack for kid, then workout (my sanity) get ready, go to work, i hate driving so much, and then come back sit for homework, dinner, prep, run my business. Pls, I want to run to the hills.

[Milline @MirnaliniV]

I have to ensure I eat protein, fibre, drink enough water and get enough sleep and be gentle with self, with kid, be graceful under pressure.Blerghh. I just want to own 4 houses, collect rent and be house owner aunty (saw this on Insta and seriously life goals means that only)

Child is a Lego , minecraft nerd. He has been making stop motion videos on his own. I think all the Dog man reading and creating Flipporama has helped.

The detailing and patience has fascinated me.

a man is mysteriously unable to cook, clean, or manage any domestic task until he has to, at which point he can

I read @mahimavashisht’s piece on weaponised incompetence in Indian marriages and I haven’t stopped thinking about it

the term describes something so specific it’s almost funny:

the strategy of claiming you don’t know how to do something so that someone else does it for you. and it works because eventually it’s easier to just do the thing than to fight about why you have to explain it again.

one woman in the piece spent 20 minutes explaining to her husband how to use a Dyson vacuum cleaner. it has one button. he never used it. she cleaned the house till the end of lockdown.

covid was the biggest accidental experiment in this. domestic help disappeared overnight and suddenly the question of who actually knows how to run a house had nowhere to hide. the answer, in most Indian homes, was extremely clear. women who were already working full time added cooking, cleaning, childcare, elderly care, and online school management to their plates. men made chai and got LinkedIn posts written about them.

this is also, quietly, the reason Indian divorce rates are low. either the woman accepts she has to do everything, or domestic help cushions the gap enough that the marriage survives. the bai isn’t just doing the dishes. she’s structurally holding together marriages that would not survive a month without her.

one man told a woman he was considering marrying: “jise aata hai wo kare, mujhe nahi aata aur naa hi main seekhunga.” he couldn’t understand why she said no.

one woman divorced hers. the rest are still counting down the days till the bai gets back.

the bar is on the floor and somehow it’s still being described as a system.

@subhajrao warned me to take two big handkerchiefs for Main vaapas aaunga. She really wasn't joking. Everyone waited till end credits for a Hindi movie in Chennai, so many of us bawled our eyes out. What is this music, what writing, and performance. So glad I watched in theaters.

[Milline @MirnaliniV]

Chennai and it's show timings in theaters is yet another reason to dislike the city (don't come at me) but why are kids movies at 6.30 pm with an interval? why no decent evening shows for good movies. Don't say cheapest ticket prices in the country, pop corn n parking compensates

[Arindam Paul @arindam___paul]

As someone who sells mixer grinders, let me tell you that Tamil Nadu is the largest market for grinders. And by a long long way

And grinder is often misspelt in search. Liking “ciling fan”

So I don’t think this graphic can conclude that TN has the highest use of some same sex dating app just coz the app is called “grindr”

Dear CM @actorvijay @TVKVijayHQ . Look at this 4 road intersection. There is still a corner that doesn't have your banner. Please install one asap. Devanathan Road - Venkata Krishna Road intersection at Mandaveli.

it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself
