Sanghi bigots get so upset that I'm mean to them 😂😂😂
For some reason, these johnny come lately sanghis think that if they switch to Hindi or Marathi, it will be too their advantage cos I'm an nri and new York and all. And it always backfires on them. 😂😂

PSA for sanghi cell. My Hindi and Marathi are very good.
Also this

"With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost."

I'm old enough to remember West Bengal exit polls and also West Bengal results.
It will be interesting to see how the results pan out versus the exit polls in U.P. If you have followed Indian state elections after LS19, you'll remember that exit polls consistently overestimate BJP prospects.

Maharashtra, they were supposed to storm back to power. ImageImage
In West Bengal, they predicted a thin TMC win. Was a comprehensive rout. ImageImage

I've lived in NYC for 11 years and visited it often for 5 years before that. The effect of climate change is being felt everyday every year by us. On so many parameters. In every season. Hurricanes hitting NYC were a once in two decades things. Now we get 3 a year.
Fall and spring are so erratic. The only "proper" fall we had was in 2020 and it did make us all wonder if it was because of reduced emissions. Because even winter that year was the most "normal" in a decade.

Hot days though, they keep growing. We've had 75F Christmas Eve.
Imagine that. The place you know from Home Alone 2, Miracle on 34th Street "white Christmas" had a 75F/25C Christmas. Not just once but a few times.

Gone are the days when the temperatures changed gradually. Now it goes from arctic cold to tropical humid in less than 24 hrs!

Sleep is going to be fleeting until U.P. election results ngl
U.P. is mine on a personal level. I've lived there. I've loved there. U.P. is where I truly became an adult. I've traveled from Ghaziabad to Renusagar in khatara buses and smelly trains.

It's not theoretical for me. It's personal. I want my U.P. back!

I'm a proud Maharashtrian but when Maharashtra went for BJP, I wasn't really that shook. I know Maharashtra has that sanghi tendency. It's a "purple" state where hindutva was born.

But U.P.? Massive diverse chaotic loving U.P.? Going not just BJP but Bisht BJP? That shook me.

Dude lived life on his own terms and knew he was lucky to get to do it. That's the lesson I take away from this. Always be grateful for your privilege every day because who knows when you die!
I still haven't fully processed Warne's untimely death. I was hoping to berate his often lazy commentary for decades trying to pressure him into being better than he was at commentary, because he was indeed better than he was at commentary.

And mate just dies?

Unfair!
As someone who obsessively watches test cricket, it was so hilariously obvious from his commentary when Warnie had a late night. 🤭🤭
He would just go to the same old wells & just rely on banter. Clearly just relying on his immense intellect to get through the day.

Followers sending requests on @LinkedIn, please don't.

I'm not logging in until they do something about how it's turned into a putrid swamp of Modi worshiping Hindu supremacist agenda without any moderation or oversight.

Students stranded in Ukraine are vilified there!
I refuse to log into @LinkedIn until they come up with an clear vision on what they are going to do about the hijacking of the platform by lackeys of Prime Minister Modi.

Can't log into LinkedIn these days without some sanghi bashing some minority.

On LinkedIn!
The bizarre transmogrification of @LinkedIn from a very plain vanilla business networking site into a vehicle for pushing fascist propaganda messages Facebook style is a great demonstration of how the "growth" instinct screws up things beyond a point.

For self-reference, these were engagement numbers when I posted this simple 5 word tweet yesterday.

I've posted the same one today. Let's see the numbers tomorrow.

This should be an interesting experiment.

How fascists respond to someone just saying they will lose an election. Image
Heh, just in 16 minutes, this crossed a thousand impressions and generated some anger from sanghis.

This is the state of political discourse in India.

Just saying the ruling party will lose an election is enough to outrage the ruling party. Image
Five hours in, exactly same banal tweet as yesterday. Lower engagement, no thread this time. But it's interesting to track this data.

Will do it again tomorrow. It's amazing how much such a simple banal statement upsets sanghis on Twitter. Image
