Vishnu Pratap

Trying to make the world less filthy.

[Vishnu Pratap @vpche17059]

A true yet sad statement.
This is a daily lived experience for someone who constantly follows the rules and is mocked and is looked at with pity for following them.
Hahaha what a 'good' (read dumb) person. Not 'smart' at all.

Most rules exist for the collective benefit if people

Sorry to interrupt your Sunday, friends.

I really hesitated to write this, but if I don’t speak up today, I will be facing a severe financial crisis within a week or two.

To be clear, I am not asking for charity or financial help. I am asking for work.

I have been completely without work for the last three months. My last project ended on June 30th, and since then I have knocked on every door I know—calling, texting, meeting contacts, and following up.

People say they will try, but after that first talk, the silence takes over. Calls go unanswered or get cut after a couple of rings. I honestly don't know whether the industry is shifting because of AI or if my age (52) is working against me, but despite over 13 years of solid experience in the field, nothing has materialized.

Now, my savings are down to the very end. I can barely hold out for another week or two.

I am a professional content writer, translator, and speaker who is comfortable on stage and in front of the camera. I write and translate fluently across Gujarati, Hindi, and English, with Gujarati being my strongest suit.

Many of you already know my grasp of politics and my political writing, but I am equally adept at covering Bollywood and cricket. My priority is media houses, digital platforms, or publications, but I am open to any genuine writing or translation opportunity.

I can work remotely or take up assignments on-site anywhere in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, as I need to be close to my elderly mother to take care of her health.

Because my situation is urgent, I am especially looking for quick-turnaround freelance assignments or immediate projects where payments can be settled on submission.

If you or anyone in your circle has work, please reach out to me directly in my DMs.

A humble, earnest request: while I deeply value your warmth, please refrain from sending just "best wishes" or "stay strong" messages right now. I am fighting hard to stay out of a very dark headspace, and right now, only actual work leads can pull me through.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for your support. My inbox is open. 🙏

Now that , CJP 's concert in Mumbai is over & their leaders back to twitter thanking Mumbai police for their "professionalism" , just a reminder, IIT Bombay 's students are on Hunger strike demanding the justice for institutional murder of a Dalit student !!

[Vishnu Pratap @vpche17059]

@PhilipPanass Unbelievable right. Why is it that hard to own and accept the mistake, even assuming he did knowingly? Saying that he filed it by mistake would at the very least earn him sympathy.

[Laal Saalan @laalsaalan]

attended the cjp protest at shivaji park and i'm disappointed that a serious issue like SIR is being reduced to a crime committed by just one individual, gyanesh kumar. while his resignation should be the starting point, nothing short of a roll back of SIR as well as reforming the process by which ECs are elected is needed.

however, today's protest was all about gyanesh kumar's resignation. gyanesh is a pawn that bjp rss will be willing to sacrifice just as they did with dharmendra pradhan. so the protests need to go beyond that and demand systemic reforms.

SIR is nothing but CAA and NRC implemented from the back door. it's so unfortunate that two of the leading intellectuals who fought against CAA NRC, umar and sharjeel, are in jail. every patriotic indian should read them to understand how to resist fascism in today's india.

[Vishnu Pratap @vpche17059]

@astrodanish I laughed for a good few minutes. Thank You.

[Vishnu Pratap @vpche17059]

Wow... There you go. This is why transparency and Privacy Laws are important.
Please @internetfreedom help him. Imagine the police using this trick each and every time.

[Jeet @jeet561942]

⚠️ After I criticised Fadnavis & Bandra Police, Sr PI Ravindra Salunkhe of @BandraPS requested X for my details by falsely claiming that I’m the main accused in an online sextortion case. @CPMumbaiPolice @DcpWestZone2 @AddlCPWestMum were you aware of Salunkhe’s fraud? Any action?

[Vishnu Pratap @vpche17059]

@DipshikhaGhosh Bastard.
Stay strong. It is that bastard who has to worry about consequences and pay for it. Please don't leave him alone. You've done a great job by alerting others. Don't let someone else go through it.

[STOIC 🇦🇱🇨🇴🗡️⚔️ @GunhaonKaDevta]

When Ratan Tata was Chairman of Tata, you would never ever hear him talk unscientific useless things. He was a Parsi. He could have said we will blend Avesta (religious book of Parsis) with AI.

You will never hear Azim Premji, the boss of WIPRO say such things.

But as soon as a Brahmin takes over, he will start "hum hindu shastra ka science AI mein dalengey". And we wonder why is India not China/Japan.

[Owen @Owennfa]

I came across a post on Reddit that said:

“AI’s underlying purpose is to let wealth access skill while taking away the skilled person’s ability to access wealth.”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the economic implications of AI put so incisively.

[SANJAY HEGDE @sanjayuvacha]

Lady Meherbai Tata's jewelry, including the Jubilee diamond were once pledged to save the Tata companies. After her death the jewelry was sold to eastablish the Tata trusts which helped set up the Indian Institute of Science, BARC and TIFR. The donors may never ever have envisioned such an opportunistic display of "scientific temper" .

[Gems of BJP @Gems_of_BJP]

Wait a minute.

Wasn’t Essar group part of insolvency proceedings in India because of huge NPAs?

In fact their accumulated loan worth roughly 14,000 crores was closed ONLY by paying 200 crores.

So how come they are investing $15 billion in US?? wtf.

[MANJUL @MANJULtoons]

Instagram has restricted this cartoon in India.

I am posting the cartoon again, along with the notice I received from Instagram.

According to the notice, access has been restricted in India “pursuant to a notice from the Government of India / Law Enforcement” and based on local laws.

The cartoon is still visible outside India.

A cartoon about the Election Commission has been stopped from being seen by Indians. When satire gets censored, perhaps the cartoon has made its point. 🇮🇳

I have said it before, I will say it again:

Supreme Court of India.

Yes, Supreme Court of India is the reason democracy is dead in India.

[Vishnu Pratap @vpche17059]

I know a lot of people crib about set pieces, but tell me where would you find a actual forest forest in India?

They literally have vanished. The only patches you ironically find are in areas where insurgency exists

[ANMOL JAMWAL @jammypants4]

#VVAAN had a solid lore to explore but it is let down with such sub par execution

You never feel immersed in a jungle!
Curated sets never make you feel genuine fear.

Every flashback and visual exploring the folklore are AI prompts.

It’s just lazy at this point

[Vishnu Pratap @vpche17059]

Gotta say, I have never seen or was able to find videos of Jail in modern age at all.
The imagery of jail I have is of dilapidated structure, built-in dirty commode (one which can never be cleaned), dim lights etc.

[Jay singh rathore @Jaysing_rathore]

Meet my fellow inmates After all what crimes are they serving their sentences for?

Follow me @Jaysing_rathore to watch the jail vlog regular

[Vishnu Pratap @vpche17059]

@DipshikhaGhosh Yes. Restrict us men. One can never identify scummy men.

Ravi Nair is out of the Sabarmati Central Jail after spending a week behind bars.

@ashish_nujs 'dog's dinner of electoral democracy'
Strangely fitting choice of words.

Gururbrahma Gururvishnu Gururdevo Maheshwara is probably my most despised Sanskrit verse as a current professor and former student. It's downright tyrannical.

Teachers aren't gods. Teachers are teachers.
