Where I spoke about how it is impossible for India to grow without enough women in the workforce, what can we do about it, and why I would never become a comic.
Shout out to @awryaditi and @christinamacgil for this amazing podcast series!

Hello, your day going well?
After a sabbatical, I am here following the social media rules to promote my new venture.
@IshaniTikku and I have built a platform to decode and (hopefully someday) dismantle structures fostering online violence. thebolarchives.org/
The Bol Archives has been built to dedicate a corner in the internet universe to tech-facilitated violence. Generally, targeting women and the LGBTQ community, violence is not oblivious to men.
People are really confused between NRIs and H1B holders. While both are technically NRIs, the ones we see in media are the NRIs who have US citizenship and in many cases support Modi. The H1B holders are Indian citizens who don't vote or have any real political influence anywhere

It is so insane that despite working incredibly hard for as long as I can remember, basically all my happiness comes down to non-material things. Spent a week with my childhood best friend who came to visit me from Australia, along with my fiancé, and it is so clear that the things I am most proud of are being a good enough person for other good people to continue loving me for decades.
There is nothing more validating as a human being than knowing that people who really know you, love and respect you. Everything else is meaningless.
Humor me. I think in a world where women went around hitting men on their balls frequently without permission and dismiss their reaction as "overacting", they would finally know why we find them discussing repercussions of #MeToo annoying. #justasking

Only after PM Modi tweeted, ANI accepted that it was a Stampede. Until then, They quoted sources who said it's a rumour or it's 'Stampede like situation'.
How many people are supposed to die for us to start criticizing the planning for the Maha Kumbh? #askingforafriend

अब एक और भगदड़ । इस बार नई दिल्ली रेलवे स्टेशन पर प्रयागराज जाने वाली चार ट्रेन में से दो के रद्द हो जाने पर मची भगदड़ । 15 लोगों के मारे जाने की खबर। @RailMinIndia संगान लेकर उच्च स्तरीय इंक्वायरी करेगी ।

The false demarcation between the ‘over here’ and ‘over there’; and we as beneficiaries of imperial privilege. By @4noura last night in NY.

I voted for her. I think he’s a bad guy.
But if you lose the senate, house, electoral college AND popular vote, and you think the lesson is half the country is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and stupid… wrong lesson. And the same thing will likely happen in 2028.
My hope is to say random things to @amitvarma until he finds sense in it and makes me famous. This time @Piyush__Tank joined the crazy :) What a respite this is amidst the "low equilibrium" US politics! I don't if it has been used but Everything is Everything is everything. 🙌

NEET SCAM DEBUNKED | The NEET-2024 scam, how it was orchestrated and the methods used.
Widespread manipulation happened in NEET 2024 exams and the results bear testimony to the allegations made by students soon after the exam. Many people didn't understand the details of the fraud happened and therefore we decided to analyse it from basics.
This Government has put the life of lakhs of children who studied day and night for fulfilling their dream of becoming a doctor and serve the society. Many poor parents have taken loans to fulfil their children's aspirations. Several Children committed suicide after the results came out.
This gross crime needs to be investigated, punish the culprits, provide remedy for the aggrieved children as soon as possible. (1/n)
