I had more fun watching a 1.5 minute Myntra ad than I had the whole last year at the movies. If Farah and SRK could just record themselves talking about cats for an hour, I’m sure it would be better than pretty much anything else in the Bollywood pipeline right now.

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday!

Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

About the Nagina episode of #KhandaanPodcast, @amritaiq.bsky.social, I’m 100% sure the assistant snakes sewed up that salwar kameez in the khandar just like the mice in Disney’s Cinderella. Huge oversight to not include that scene in the movie.

Woefully late to the party, but finally saw #LaapataaLadies last week and have been pondering its optimism ever since. Obviously beautifully written, casted, and performed, but the thing that really stays with me is how deeply flawed every character is even as they try so hard to do good.

Sometimes we need to hear it because it is so hard to keep fighting. Do not give your heart to anything else, but to the love of those who are clear joy…

Been thinking about the role of the scholar, writer, publisher. This is a piece I have come back to repeatedly.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Watched a performance of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard this weekend. Apparently we’re still having 1903 problems, which is somehow both tragic and reassuring.

Also, I have very strong Peter Trofimov energy.
