We see more faces before breakfast than our ancestors did in a lifetime. I've been wondering what that's doing to us Wrote about how the attention economy was built around the pull of a human face; how the same digital machinery may now be devaluing it

If gaming the charts were an issue, the rules would have changed long ago. You are beyond debate/discussion. What you need is a Hajmola (has more than one Indian spice!). It'll help you digest the fact that the world's biggest music group comprises 7 Non-English speaking Koreans

"I have waited for this moment to come for 19 years." @vintananda's heart-wrenching post which reaffirms that #TimesUp, even for the (so-called) "most #Sanskaari person in the film and television industry." #MeToo #MeTooIndia

People who are used to seeing their names getting misspelled don't actively cringe/correct others after a point. I gave up years ago. But please remember when you misspell our names after seeing it in our text/email/both, we mark you as someone who doesn't pay attention to detail

I knew a Kabir Singh in college and I shudder at the thought of revisiting memories from that time of my life, all thanks to him. Didn't think I will muster the energy to put this out but Sandeep Vanga's interview triggered stuff even watching Arjun Reddy for context couldn't. /1

Learnt an invaluable lesson from a family member today: "Planning a 'surprise' visit to meet your elderly parents who live in a different city/country? Don't. Instead, inform them of your plan well in advance. Give them something to look forward to, it'll light up their world."

Loneliness scares us because we fear it'll never end. Love scares us because we fear one day it would.

“Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.” [Needed to read this today]

Important: Someone reached out saying their company (a well known brand in its sector) is giving employees fake ID of essential workers, forcing them to report to office (in Mumbai). If you know anything about this, or are being made to do this, please DM me. Anonymity guaranteed

"I've lost three uncles in the past one month. How do you expect me to 'be positive'? My cousin, 27, has been hospitalised with lung infection for the past seven days. How do you tell his mother to 'be positive'? Please tell me."
