One of Bengaluru's richest people @kiranshaw wants 'hefty fines' against homeless, against street vendors.

She could have asked- why are there no homeless shelters, why no space demarcated for vendors, but no!

RT if you agree the rich should develop empathy

I mean I know there's no end to Savarna victimhood but this is above and beyond.

Our cost cutting measures saved the college $8B! ….

Oops, we mean $8.

Oops, actually they cost the college $1m in lost indirect and in expenses related to rehiring staff and adjuncts we shouldn’t have fired.

But don’t worry, this won’t deter us from this important work!

THREAD 🧵: Revisiting Veer Zaara Amid Bollywood Re-Releases. (1/7) In 2024, Veer Zaara was re-released on its twentieth anniversary. A common refrain was that such a film could never be made today. Read on for more insights on balancing nostalgia and reflection while rewatching the movie. 🔗 Full piece by Shraddha NV Sharma (@slowsandsays): https://t.co/Rg9fR4iPol #VeerZaara #Bollywood #Nostalgia

[Shraddha @slowsandsays]

Bollywood, @iamsrk, 2000s, wrote about all the things I love and want to pick a fight with. And what a great experience working with the @project_polis!

New Piece Alert! 📢📢
Shraddha NV Sharma (@slowsandsays) revisits Veer Zaara upon its re-release in 2024 and makes sense of the nostalgia that underpins our desire to watch old Bollywood films in the cinema––namely, for a supposedly secular past. Is this nostalgia warranted?

@susnakaho @mrinininininini I will hear this all my life no. Even if I save your life someday, you will frown and say- but in 2024 you didn't meet me on the one day I was visiting bombay

Story 4: serial sexual offender has the gall to tell my mother that it's her sole duty to serve her in-laws; my parents who work in the development field were told that their social work is of no use if they serve their kin. You'd think we're in the 21st century but no (6)

[Shraddha @slowsandsays]

Anyway, he died without my confronting him or telling him his brother is a serial sexual offender. But his many siblings and children have worked to safeguard an idea of a sacred cultured family, at the cost of many women's mental health (4/n)

[Shraddha @slowsandsays]

Story 1: my grandfather who died last week used to insist that I don't do sleepovers when I was in middle school with my best friends who were mostly muslim and Christian (convent school in jayanagar) because "who knows what they do, who knows what will happen to our girl" (2/n)

[Ides of April @idesofavril]

Read R@jesh R@jamani's AWIAL review and he cannot make up his mind on bedroom space. I h@te this so much. Just saying I'd like the movie more if it was based on a diff character in a diffly portrayed city doing diff things, bro watch a different movie.

[Shraddha @slowsandsays]
