The A4 sheets that you own and don’t own (A thread)

Imagine you buy some A4 sheets from a stationary store. Let’s imagine that the stationary shop owner is a leftist, and you’re a right winger. You come home and use those A4 sheets to print some right wingy stuff.

Now here’s a question:

Can the shop owner storm into your place and snatch your sheets because he doesn’t agree with what you’re printing on the sheets you bought from his shop. What a stupid question right, of course he can’t.

You own the sheets, you can print whatever you want on those sheets and only law enforcement agencies can decide whether the stuff printed on the sheets is incendiary or not.

#Bloomsbury reneging on its contract to publish the book on Delhi Riots 2020 is an example of how leftists never learn. I have an alternate take, follow the thread.

It’s a well known fact that leftists have rants, right has facts, leftists have soft power, right has money, leftists are agenda peddlers and right is reactionary and that’s why the Bloomsbury episode will backfire majorly.

Alright so someone had written a book about Delhi Riots. Fine. She got a publisher. Great. The book would have released, some people would have bought it and cursed the “ones” behind it. End of the story.

When Covid hit the world, Americans parked their SUVs & Sedans and lined up to get food from free food trucks. Indians gleefully shared pictures of cuisines on Insta. Why Indians didn't feel anxious about food shortage? Because of the family system that The Print derides as TOXIC

In India, even if you are a 50 yr old you can ask your father for money. No shame in it. An ailing father or a amnesiac mother doesn't get tossed in old age homes, they live with their kids. That's the beauty of the toxic family system, listen you morons at The Print.

You can ask your siblings, your in-laws and your relatives for financial or any help without getting judged. That's the beauty of the toxic family system, listen you braindead zombies at The Print.

Sushant Singh Rajput is Abhimanyu (A thread)

Abhimanyu was a mighty warrior. He was new to the game yet more talented than most of the seasoned Rathis, Mahatarathis and Atirathis. He broke into the Vyuha (league) of the legendary warriors on the side (the high & mighty of Bwood)

But just like the original Abhimanyu, he didn’t have an exit strategy so he decided to fight. He fought with honour and a lot of guts, inflicted serious damage but ultimately the high and mighty ganged up and killed him. It was their Pawn Jayadratha who was the main culprit.

In case of SSR, the pawn is probably his lady love. Abhimanyu was killed. SSR was killed and there was a great mourning on the Pandava’s side but 1 warrior was not just mourning the dead, he was greatly enraged. He was Arjun, the father. In Sushant’s case, we the people are Arjun

What's with the sudden outrage against Litti Chokha?

It's a Devdurlabh Vyanjan. Litti Chokha is not what you see in ugly roadside stalls. It's not supposed to be grilled/barbecued. And oven baked Littis are abominations. As a Bihari and a Litti-Chokha lover, I'll explain what is

Imagine a big bowl, a steel bowl preferably

Imagine Sattu being poured into it, the gram-y aroma of it teasing the nostrils.

Then imagine fine chopped onions, purple with love and chopped green chillies, pleasant in appearance fiery in taste going into the bowl.

Then goes finely chopped garlic and ginger, their heady aroma teasing your taste buds. Then black-beige gorgeousness of Ajwain-Mangraila goes in next. A little bit of Amchoor powder then jumps into the bowl, a sour splendor rises from the bowl.

Focus on the world map. Imagine an imaginary vertical line running from the Arctic ocean onto west Russia through Kazakistan cutting Turkmenistan into two halves and then running through the border of Iran-AF and disappearing into the Indian Ocean. I call it the line of converts.

It’s a very important line and as it explains a very important phenomenon. The phenomenon of the “zeal of the fresh convert”.

On the west side of the line are countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq etc.

On the east side are India, Pak, Bangladesh and the whole SE Asia.

In Islamic world, Arabs are the pure breed, everyone else is a convert. So the ones on the west side in this scenario are the pure breeds, the ones on the east are converts.

Converts have an obligation of repeatedly proving themselves to the “pure” leading to the zeal part.
