On the Air India flight back to Delhi from London, an elderly Indian couple next to me chatted very warmly with me, spoke about their retired life & daughters,offered cake etc till the flight attendant came & handed me the Muslim non-veg meal I had opted for over the Hindu nv one

This was 30-35 minutes into the flight. Post this their body language changed, faces turned stiff, the conversation stopped & the woman even refused to respond when I told her that my glasses had fallen around her feet. I had to literally go around her legs to pick them up.

The incident offended me but I can’t even imagine how unsafe a Muslim person would have felt in this situation. Are meals as signifiers of identity, real or assumed, really needed on planes?

A man,a lawyer,boasted that he had lied about biriyani being served to Ajmal Kasab to create animosity against him. He is a Rajya Sabha MP now.Nominated by the President.Lies are the building blocks of the Hindu Rashtra in making.

For about 15 years, I worked in the immediate vicinity of Feroz Shah Kotla. So many people would burn incense there and do 'djinn puja' (with a mongoose or two running around) or pray at the mosque (where the great sultans of Delhi and even Amir Timur prayed) that it felt alive.

His VrC ribbon caught my eye as I passed by. Stopped and asked him where he got it. “Tiger Hill,” he said. I knew I had a story on my hands.

Why has this platform become more like Instagram? I see mostly reels here. Just like K-serials were a problem on every Indian TV channel once upon a time, so has this reel phenomenon become one.
