"Stop virtue signalling. You’re literally profiting off the tradition. This isn’t a non-profit documentary. While it’s wrong for people to perform these rituals in public places, it doesn’t give you the moral high ground"

Lesson for founders/brand owners: settle the salary of the social media team first while thinking of shutting shop, take charge of all social handles, and change the passwords.

Doesn't ED fall under central government (BJP)? If the central government is using ED as distraction (which BJP does all the time, including as a weapon, and we all know that anyway), doesn't it amount to saying BJP is trying to protect a non-BJP Kerala government? 🤔

From mocking India because Taliban praised it... to letting the Taliban enforce their no-woman policy in a press conference IN THE INDIAN CAPITAL.

Interesting hypothesis. Where does Soma/Somras feature in this, I wonder.

I reckon he has made peace with the fact that he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.

At least now he may stop saying he mediated between India and Pakistan, to stop the war, using trade as a lever.

While I'm already in a perpetual state of awe over how beautiful flowers are, the other thing worth being in awe about is how nature presents the, in contrast with the leaf's shades of green. The contrast, or the presentation/leafy background, elevates the flowers' beauty!

India really needs a national-level mass media awareness campaign on reducing,
1. carb-dependence,
2. ultra-processed foods, and
3. sugar.

3/3 Whether people want their news to be free of sensationalism or not is a vastly different topic, considering the leading newspaper of our country revels in that style of news framing.

2/3 This is particularly striking in these days when even Doordarshan, the supposed-last bastion of sober news presentation, recently titled a segment, 'Bewafa Sonam', in the style TIMES NOW/Republic TV while referring to the recent arrest of Sonam Wangchuk.

Talented's (the agency) excellent new ad film for The Hindu mirrors the newspaper's famously sober way of presenting news without sensationalizing. I can say this confidently since I skim at least 20+ newspapers every single day. 1/3

Whether India is atmanirbhar or swadeshi in any other department or not, Diwali nuts mean Chilean walnuts, California pistachios, Australian almonds, and a new nut - American pecans.

"A defensive economic policy embedded in Swadeshi is way past its sell-by date. Pragmatism dictates that Indian businesses must compete or fail. Indian consumers have been signalling that message for at least 30 years" (Arattai Uncles, notwithstanding).

"Self-appointed guardians of morality muscle into spaces that they believe are the sites of violation of an imagined code. Faced with a bully, the girls stood tall, insisting on their right to choose their way."
