Can someone from @NotionHQ and @AskAtlassian please stand up?

@Rahul400 Hi Rahul- what they did the first time is unacceptable but I do remember that did ask me to swim a lap at the RK Puram Pool before they let go of supervision.

5 years in Kolkata and Durga Puja has my heart forever. Ads have to capture hearts and what better occasion to capture hearts than Durga Puja!

I grew from that child in 2-tier city who thought she knew some English Pop/ Rock, and other popular culture things and then just couldn’t understand what the ooh aah hype was about when her entire batch from law school went to see Batman, but got along on the hype train. Kids 🫣

Flashback to posh missionary school childhood when classmates knew all the English pop/rock hits courtesy refined SoBo parents and Limewire/Planet M access when I didn’t even have computer/iPod. Your taste in music has a lot to do with your social location…

This is the drama of choice that is unfolding, the choice is of course binary. What will the women choose? Religious pride or an education? All while saying oh we (Hindus) are not traditional/ religious while unquestioningly taking out separate cups for maids. Laughable!

[Yogini Oke @yog_oke]

@meghamehta8488 highlights how little has a woman's choice has mattered, when considering what is an ERP, and what isn't. Women's choice and women's autonomy is the last thing to be considered. In the current #HijabControversy women are supposed to supposed to 'choose'.

Sorry to keep plugging my LLM research but I am dyingg because you can see the ERP argument being repeated everytime there is a debate over State intervention in religious or cultural practices considered harmful to women-since 1820’s! (Thread)

[Yogini Oke @yog_oke]

If you're a woman, from any community, you are aware of such 'choices and the place they occupy in popular imagination and social reality. 'Choose' between being a 'Home' and a 'Career'. 'Choose' between being a 'decent' or an 'indecent' girl.

This thread speaks to my perpetual confusion about whether Nagpur, for me, is relaxing, or judgmental 🙊

@Dextrocardiac1 In my town almost every other person know each other which is great thing but sometimes these things restrict your growth for innovation & explore new ideas because that’s how small primitive scocieties behave at large throughout the history till now “disapprove anything novel “

[Yogini Oke @yog_oke]

I hope we get to see more such complex narratives, so that we finally understand, the gap between seeing, experiencing and understanding.

[Yogini Oke @yog_oke]

Watched 'Gehraaiyan' and 'The Lost Daughter' this weekend. These films were fearless depictions of what it means to be a child, and how crushing can parenthood be.

They reminded me of my mothers stories of her lost temper and the dripping sense of sadness that filled the crevices of joy you find as a child
