Covid has made people forget the nightmare Kashmir is living through, even with the internet ban supposedly lifted.
But what an eclectic collection of smart nice compassionate people @imsabbah brings together. Hands down the best space ever.
"People in India aren't dying in big numbers because of covid. Covid can be treated for most. People are dying in India because there is no oxygen or beds."
This!

I find it hard to believe that some other senior leaders within the BJP aren't at least contemplating a takhtapalat. Even though they are safe till 2024, it was a widespread resistance movement like this in 2012 that indirectly brought them into power in 2014.
You can sense a shift in the winds in the sanghi quarters this year. Like they realize this might be one bungle too many to still keep counting on loyal support. Even their IT cell game, though virulent as ever, seems to be faltering a bit.
I'm not saying any such attempt will succeed. But it's interesting to think of the possibilities.
I've been reading a lot of Erica Chenoweth recently. They have some mind blowing results from empirical analysis of civil resistance. The 5% rule.
I was so exhausted yesterday evening, physically and emotionally, that I fell asleep at 7 pm! So missed the President's joint address. Gonna watch it now. He always makes me feel better.
"Covid deaths are down 80% since January. 80%! Because of all of YOU!"
It's so refreshing to see a president give the credit to the people instead of going me me me me me!
This speech feels so soothing. Like how FDR's fireside chats must have felt during the great depression.
I mean I woke up one morning, saw twitter spaces enabled, started a random session on a whim and instantly got 60 listeners. Next day, another impromptu one and 120 listeners. With no advanced notice.
Why should I even think about clubhouse when I can do everything here?
I really hope they share it cos it was a really nice session. 😁😁
Abhishek Asthana, please pay your people more.
IT cell sanghis have been tilting against the "sabnis is anti hindu, employers" windmill for years now. Never works. I've explained to my bosses very well the difference between being anti-hindu and anti-hindutva. Many are POC themselves. They get it. So such attempts are fun.
I have lived outside India for 15 years and visited 30 countries. Sometimes I've been discriminated against because I'm brown skinned. But not once, ever, remotely, have I been discriminated against because I'm Hindu.
It's a completely fabricated canard like love jihad!
No one in the world except the Sangh Parivar has actual Hinduphobia.
Really, Abhishek gabbbarsingh Asthana, of all the people you chose to sic your 100K plus sockpuppets on, you had to choose me? You have no idea what you have voluntarily signed up for. This coming decade should be fun.
My vengeance is calibrated not in tweets but in years.
How stupid must fascist Abhishek gabbbarsingh Asthana be to pick a fight with a guy who was profiled recently in literally THE top business publication in the world?
