New piece in The Manifest:
How “cute” ads could be quietly fuelling chronic disease.
Not an anti-advertising rant — but we probably need to think a little harder about what we’re normalising.

Paid ₹398 for a Mocha at Starbucks, Hyderabad Airport. It was so cold and badly made that I had to gulp it down not sip.
Is this the standard we shd expect from global brands ch?

Imagine being so warped that you joke about rape scenes like they’re casting choices. Pran saying “only good-looking women preferred” isn’t just vile—it’s peak rape culture. And Prabhu Chawla’s question? Disgust in a suit. This isn’t nostalgia. It’s rot.

India's women's roller derby team created history with the country's 1st medal @ the #WorldSkateGames2024 in Italy.
Led by #ShrutikaSarode, the team electrified the crowd with a commanding performance against China during a jaw-dropping women’s division bronze medal match.
A true Warrior! More power to you!
Bravo @Phogat_Vinesh on beating the unbeaten Japanese Susaki to stage the biggest upset by an Indian @ the Olympics ever! Your exemplary courage, grit & determination even when attempts were made to drag you down have shown your mettle & done all of India proud.

We need more such facilities to help transformed to confidently and fearlessly express their choices
Voice feminisation surgery for transwomen is a vital aspect of transitioning & more hospitals in metros are doing it. Recently, GT Hospital in Mumbai became the first govt institution to offer it free. Sumitra @mutinous101 & my story on how & why it’s a significant step forward

I think there is a need to improve the systems of hiring, screening and also training of the service providers on being good professionals. There is no other option. Be it UBER, OLA, UC OR JUST DIAL, the service is pits!
@urbancompany_UC What kind of scam are you running? 3rd time in a row following a booking its been a no-show. Worse! You don't cancel from your side for days & charge us? Eg. Your app here still says Abhay's arriving but when we spoke to him he said he's in his village in UP!
Veeresalingam Pantulu's legacy of championing social reform and gender equality and his courage to challenge societal norms resonate with us. We @ Laadli honor his contributions by continuing to advocate for a more inclusive society. #VeeresalingamJayanti #SocialChange" #Laadli

● Unity is meaningless without the accompaniment of women.

● Education is fruitless without educated women.

● Agitation is incomplete without the strength of women....
