My toxic trait is believing I can convince someone in power to create a long-distance, luxury sleeper train journey for TN, starting from Chennai and hitting all major points across the state and returning to Chennai 12 days later.

Suddenly remembered that Madras had a ceremonial Sheriff. Maybe we should bring it back, give that post to peeps doing interesting stuff and have some pomp and splendour again.

You know what would be a fantastic niche business idea

The #SIR was presented as a long-overdue administrative reform...to include all eligible voters, eliminate all ineligible voters.

Preliminary analyses released on 1 Aug suggest that more women than men have been deleted from the rolls

TN Govt's new #Transgender Person's policy. So terribly disappointed. This is a watered down, useless document that does nothing and says nothing that hasn't been said before. And it is horribly bent towards just one part of the trans community.

Town Hall in Madras has been renovated I hear and they're going to use it as a full time cultural venue with exhibitions of Tamil and Madras history etc.

Can I get the Curator and event Director job please?

Who do I tag to make this happen? Mayor? CM?

Has anybody done a queer studies paper on the gay and lesbian representation in Agatha Christie books? Mr Pye of Moving Finger, Hinchcliffe of Murder is Announced and others?
Pye is a camp, femme gay man for sure.
Hinchcliffe is a hutch dyke in relationship with a femme woman

Charges of secession, separatism against political commentators is a chilling indicator of an inherently illiberal, authoritarian response to dissenting opinions. Ultimately strikes at the very foundations of a democracy.
