Most of us have laughed at "Avane Nee" jokes. Most of us have used the colour of the skin to refer to someone. Most of us referred to "andha area" pasanga as bad people.

What happened then?

We learnt it was wrong. We understood the ramifications of our behaviour.

(1/n) Or due to some reason, we were made to learn and understand this...

We began to evolve. It took us time... But we managed to find it in ourselves to move on from the toxic pool that we once inhabited gleefully.

None of us felt it was wrong.

We were conditioned that way (2/n)

LONG THREAD ALERT

All these days, these were just numbers. An account of #COVID19 impact in #TamilNadu. An account of how bad things in Chennai were. An account of how careless people were. An account of how these numbers will delay return to normalcy. (1/n) Since both you-know-who and I go to work, we don't stay with either of our parents to ensure all of us are safe in our spaces.

But a couple of days back, I received a call from Amma...

The thing is she doesn't call often. It is Appa who does.

Mind went into overdrive. (2/n)
