Okay #India #introduction again.
I toot life observations channeling #philosophy, #creativity, #psychology and #humor.
Everything is fair game, from 4th seat domineering aunty on the local train to chest-thumping uncles running political parties.
I studied at a bunch of 'premier institutions' when I was younger (those coveted 3 letter ones). I've worked on a range of issues, from Wall Street to water and sanitation in Bihar/ UP.
Follow me if you'd like to be entertained, provoked and amused.
There is no higher love
No deeper romance
No greater loyalty
More beautiful and eternal
Than that held
By a Bhakt
For his shining lotus Goddess.

Is that so difficult to understand that THIS IS NOT BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE CHINESE THAT THEY GOT CORONAVIRUS ???
Just overheard at a cafe (sorry couldn't help it, said person was too loud):
"Main agle hafte apne baap ka pind daan karane jaa raha hu Haridwar. Woh bhi office se chutti leke. Koi point nahi hai, par mom insist kar rahi hai toh jaana padega.
Mujhse poocho to 100 pind daan karake bhi mere baap ko moksh nahi milne waala, har roz mom ko peet ta tha."

Another quote from Muste:
“We cannot have peace if we are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life.”
#RepublicTV's victim blaming tactics and subsequent (un)apology reminds me of perpetrators of sexual and domestic violence.
Of course these tactics will work.
They've been tested and perfected for centuries on women, and now get routinely used on anyone lacking systemic power.
What's happening today is just a page taken from a manual written over time.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
#RepublicTV is a stranger to truth.
Their writers have brilliant imaginations
Which cook up jhoot pe jhoot.
With the Mumbai Pride March now facing the likelihood of getting cancelled, come for this at least.
I'll be hosting. Varun Grover will be speaking. And music shall be our solace.

Mumbai police denies permission for #Queer #pride march this year.
This roughly translates to "we believe any protest space will necessarily become about #CAA_NRC_NPR and we've been told to kill all protest spaces right now. So bear with us, we can't protect your right to assemble for any cause."

I had led zep playing when policeman stopped me on delhi meerut highway, only to ask for a lift.
He said why do you listen to trash like this. Play hanuman chalisa.
I said I’m muslim.
Radio silence for next 20 minutes till he got down.
😬
This morning, Auto-waale bhaiyya opened the conversation with "JNU me ek choti ladki bhashan di hai, dekhi hai aap? Hum India TV par dekhe. Kitna paisa khilaya hai usko, pata hai?"
"Waise yeh India TV kabhi jhoot nahi Bolta."
Braced myself. He continued ranting.
Soon enough used a slur word for Muslims starting with K.
I squirmed with discomfort and silence (can't imagine what a Muslim person would feel). He noticed it and demanded, "Aap news dekhti hai ki nahi? Hindu hai na madam?"
WTF!
