(privilege alert) I've never seen anyone in my circle say they're a "fan" of something / someone. It is always said, I like that actor, or I support that team. But nobody describes themself as a fan. It's low key, deep down frowned upon because a fan in India means God

Millennials chose one football / cricket club when they were 12yo and made it their personality. Gen Z took Palestine / Ukraine flag and made it their personality. Ultimately, it's always about social acceptance. That you belong. And that you can take a stand. Doesn't matter

Even during the IPL final I saw Indian players stand in "at-ease" or hands on their heart. Nope. Nope. Nope. If a basic national anthem protocol is so easy to forget (and get away with it on Indian soil), I believe the state isn't being harsh enough. You don't do that. If you

I don't understand why the government is so hell bent on cutting trees one by one. It is a waste of resources and man hours. We've seen how this can spiral out of control rather soon, and the repercussions of it. Please don't send JCBs and chainsaws. Just...

I feel Virat Kohli going to London won't help him much. Considering the quality of his fans, only a remote island like North Sentinel island will give him privacy and peace.

USBRL is live now and the first train to speed through is a Vande Bharat. We've successfully connected Kashmir to rest of the country with rail. This is a major milestone for India. It is a monumental feat.

Your CM/DCM are busy lifting a cricket trophy, ours are busy driving around on 120 rated access controlled expressways. We're not the same bro.

It is incredible how BOM manages 55 million pax traffic with just one runway, while DEL does just 80 million with four runways.

Suggest a very very juvenile, funny, and shocking prank one can pull off at a friend's wedding. Matlab itna freaky ki 2 second ke liye uski... Burkha wala plan mat bolna. Very over used.

Unpopular opinion but SoBo Kaali Peelis are the most disgusting, filthy, overrated thing in this city. They're all in extremely bad shape, stink a lot, drivers have a death wish, and the cost is same as Uber / Ola (even more expensive during night time), while having no AC. At

Gems of The Wire Kohli vs Tendulkar 🤡🤣 Kohli is secular, so he besht. Tendulkar bed boy for being staunch nationalist. And ofcourse, the author is an ex-babu.

They've realised that they may be able to deploy the rolling stock, but they can't speed it up to command a premium. Not even a 30 minute advantage. Why? Overnight trains are far more complicated. Too much capacity constraints, and sharing the same tracks with a host of
