the moment I see the word 'internship' written on a job posting, I've got to up my guard.

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

@riachops i'm having a happy monday (rather, a happy day) after weeks! the last three weeks were so difficult and anxious and depressive for me. it was quite a battle. didn't think i'd get to where i am today. but i guess this is what i must remember the next time? that it gets better...

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

@sonika_pd I absolutely loved reading this! Thank you for writing this, @sonika_pd :)

when someone tells me to have a safe flight, i'm like ok i will do my best but just so you know, i am not the pilot of the airplane.

"For me, this bunk bed was my hideout

…out of reach of the clasps of violence that roared in my house every single day.

… where bad things wouldn’t be lurking around, waiting to barge in.

it was a home within a home that rarely felt like home."

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

Writing about the abusive conditions I grew up in is one thing, and sharing it on the internet for the world to read is another.

Wrote about my L-shaped bunk bed, my hideout, and my safe space, in times when violence roared in my house.

"It’s 1:43am. I’m hiding in my room. He rings the bell. “Finally,” I think. The smell of green apple vodka wafts in. My heart is in my mouth."

... a raw, personal piece I wrote about escaping abuse and finding safety outside my home.

I'm a budding journalist, and was told I had to get on Twitter to 'network' and capitalise on opportunities, so here I am.

Yet another social media platform. Urgh.

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

@riachops LMAO. Sucks to be the uncle, I guess.

Every time I'd tell relatives I was majoring in Sociology, they'd give me a look of pity that translated to "damn... she ain't getting a job."

Today, they ask me to (career) counsel their kids.

@UofGlasgow

i’ve been trying to log in to my application for days now, but the site is glitching.

in addition, i’m unable to change my password OR create a new account.

could this be looked into asap so that i can abide by the said deadline (6th january)?

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

@beingdiginomad I've sent you a pitch. :)

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

@UberINSupport That being said, it’s commendable just how swift at action the @police_haryana has been.

We’ve been able to track the camera in under 24 hours.

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

Used @Uber to ship a parcel from South Delhi to Gurgaon. The driver ended the trip, but the parcel hasn't been delivered. Moreover, he isn't contactable.
There is absolutely no helpline number I can call.

What kind of services are these?

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

@UberINSupport Your team said they’d support us in every way, but we don’t see that happening AT ALL.

@Uber_Support @UberINSupport

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

@UberINSupport But we’ve got to prove that we said nothing of the sort to Vishnu.

So, @Uber_Support @UberINSupport, could you PLEASE get in touch with us and supply us with the needed phone recordings?

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

@UberINSupport But now, Vishnu suddenly claims that WE told him to keep the camera with him, and that we’d collect it later.

The story he’s narrating is full of loopholes. It wouldn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure that.

@Uber_Support @UberINSupport

[Tarang Mohnot @tarang_mohnot]

@UberINSupport Still waiting for somebody from @UberINSupport to get in touch with us.

Meanwhile, the police investigation has revealed a bunch of things.

Turns out, the driver Vishnu Sharma had the camera all along.
