Sleep when the baby sleeps. Cook when the baby cooks. Earn a living when the baby earns a living.

Heartbroken seeing how young Hindu women studying/working in the same institution do not see this as a feminist issue. How can you go about your own lives when something like this unfolds before your eyes? Shouldn't you say #HandsOffTheHijab to your authorities?

Looks like The Hindu is getting a new editor. After the last bumman quit in a huff, they're looking for a bumman who will be less fussy. Post open to all bummans irrespective of their subcaste, gender, sexuality or merit. Tambrams preferred,Meitei Brahms need not apply

BJP candidate gets only one vote in local body elections. Proud of the four other voters in his household who decided to vote for others

[Shilpa Reddy @shilpav82]

Don't understand why most children are STILL given the last name of the father rather than of the parent whose body they literally came from. Even in, and especially in, the more gender egalitarian West. Did the gender revolution glide past this patriarchal tradition by mistake?
