1/n Have noticed something disturbing lately, say, in the last decade or so. Within my extended family, 3, and among friends 2 young respectful men, good-natured, gainfully-employed, good families, got married (some love, some arranged) & the wives turn out to be Toxic AH.

2/n These are all youngsters I've known since long, some since they were infants. I know their families. None of them have behaved badly with the wife, neither have their parents. On the contrary, the women are pampered with expensive gifts & live apart from the parents in law.

3/n Some of the men, despite having high-paying corporate jobs, need to borrow money to maintain their wives in temporary happiness, before the next demand comes. Plus, the wives mentally & psychologically harass the men, causing depression. Three men are already divorced.

1/3 In my professional life, I trust ppl, I get cheated. I think I'll be smarter but make mistakes in judgement repeatedly, take ppl at face value, assume everyone is honest, till shockingly, someone hurts me again. Despite that, my own goodwill & reputation remains unbesmirched.

2/3 So I won't blame any political party for trusting people who turn out to be Trojan Horses for the worst kind of greedy, morally-corrupt, ideologically-dead 'leaders'. The ones who got cheated, assumed the new entrants wanted the same change they did. They got played. It's OK.

3/3 Will they (& I) ever trust an Other again? Definitely. Will they (& I) get back-stabbed again? Probably. Will that make them (& me) bitter, hard, vengefully treating folk badly in defensiveness, w/o reason? NO. Because- We. Are. Not. Them. 🙏🏻💪🏻🙏🏻

1/n #VaccineHesitancy Recieved something from a friend that has really shocked me. Would appreciate corrections if any or all of this is untrue. 🙏🏻 "Some thoughts below are from my colleague at IIT and the figures he quoted herein are copied from other sources.

2/n When India decided to adopt the CovishieId & Covaxin, the intelligentsia, non-BJP pol parties, NGOs, all started speaking in the media alleging insufficient data on it’s efficacy, it's fake, we will not take it. The media also launched a movement against the Indian vaccine.

@IndianExpress

3/n During this time, many news articles were published in the media against the vaccine.

1/n Had the most amazing, moving experience just now. Got an auto and as soon as I sat in, noticed the driver's uniform. He was on a call at the signal & when he got done, I struck up a conversation. My first question is always, 'Kaun gaon, bhai?'

2/n When he said Benaras, I congratulated him on being from Kashi nagri! We started talking & he told me he had been wearing the embroidered uniform since pre-2014. Everytime someone sits in his auto, they first say Jai Shri Ram, then ask if he is RSS, Bajrang Dal, BJP!

3/n He replied, 'Ram toh sabke hai! Main kisi dal ka nahi, bas Shabri-wala hoon!' And then, proceeded to tell me a more detailed story of Mata Shabri than I'd ever heard/read! Feel like my siblings got blessed by Shri Ram Himself after the encounter with Shri Gopal Chaturvediji!

1/n Little fearful of getting trolled with this thread, but I really want to share this for an insight into 'Bollywood' which everyone is interested in, regardless of whether they praise or abuse it! So, my siblings & I attended this very fancy school, Bombay Scottish, Mahim.

@SrBachchan

2/n Tons of film family kids studief here. Mr. @SrBachchan 's kids too, were there. In fact, my kid brother was his daughter's classmate. And, in the years they were in my school, before they left to study elsewhere, every single day, Mrs.B would be there at 3pm to pick them up.

3/n There'd be a bunch of parents, maids, drivers & Mrs.B, quietly, no airs, waiting with them, inside the gate in the designated area. And, everyday, she took back a pile of autograph books that the kids gave her. Not just our own, those of our pals & cousins from OTHER schools!

1/n Unpopular opinion: Most Indians know NOTHING about how the entertainer industry works. They see 'celebs' & 'stars' & judge the rest 95% as having the same lifestyle. Also, a recent interaction revealed, there is a LOT of frustration & envy from those who can't come to Bbay.

2/n Either they have practical issues/ have tried, failed & returned, but there is so much envy at the glam lives of stars. So when someone gets into trouble, there is much glee & feeling superior. Then, all the 'Bollywood ppl are ___!' tweets come out, lumping EVERYONE in 1 tub.

3/n No one bothers to educate themselves, no- SENSITISE themselves to the fact that it takes a minimum of 250 people to make 1 small sized film. Those ppl have families, lives. They pay taxes, take loans, get underpaid or sometimes not paid at all, but keep working.
