I was addressed as Loki YET AGAIN today by a friend and my godson Changhez son of actress

The man was a daredevil, had a great ear for Hindustani music and was a connoisseur of gourmet food - he found Bombay's best nihari at a so-called Chinese restaurant. @dansiddiqui I'll miss you sorely - in my life and in the newsroom.
This is a loss for all actors, writers, directors and technicians across Pakistan, who were hoping for digital/OTT to be their saviour. And it's a home-run for all the misogynists who have once again proven that they are the only voice that matters. (3)

To all those with anger fatigue & feeling they're tweeting into a void on unending rape cases: Good. Great. The sooner you let go of the search for saviours/instant solutions, the sooner you can engage & get stuff done. Your anger can dissipate into cynicism, but then you (1/5)
