Although I'm 35 and not dependent on my parents for money, even today, when I'm with my retired father, and need some change for auto etc., He gives me 5 times more. I keep insisting I don't want, but he says rakhlo. Kaam ayega. Dads I tell you ❤️❤️❤️
Every day my belief gets stronger. There's nothing for women in marriage in India. Men stand to gain more. I will tell every unmarried woman - don't bother. Adopt if you want kids. You'll be happier trust me.
I'm half Jain. I'm a vegetarian. And an atheist. But I find this silly. What's this "saving" on Bakr Eid? Yes goats are slaughtered on this day but they're eaten, not killed in vain. It's no different from goats being slaughtered on any other day for food all over the country.
Dear OTT platforms. Please do something about the sound levels. Too low to hear dialogues and too loud when music plays! I'm sick of constantly changing the volume!

I remember in 12th grade we went on a school trip for a few days. Each night, teachers used to lock up the girls' rooms from the outside, to be opened in the morning. No such thing was done for boys. As a society we've got it all wrong. We lock up victims instead of perpetrators.
With a heavy heart I inform you: this morning my father passed away. I thank all my twitter family for their prayers for him. Hope he is at peace now 🙏
My daughter struggles to make friends. She feels she's rejected for her looks, or as a person. No matter what I say, she gets affected by others. It breaks my heart to see her confidence shatter. An 8 year old struggling with self image issues. What a ruthless world we live in!😓
I deleted my tweet cuz i was so irritated. But here you go again.
I sing, paint, read, I'm a university topper in Business Economics from Delhi University and an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad. I work, run a house, bring up a child.
Don't need your approval. I'm sexy and i know it!
Women on twitter showing their lipstics and nail polish shades in photos and asking which shade suits them more😳😳..Height of attention seeking and low of self worth....
My heart just skipped a beat.
6 year old asks - Ma, what is porn?
I didn't bat an eyelid. Casually asked the spelling.
Apparently, and thankfully, she meant pawn, not porn.
Pawn as in pawn shop, and i was glad to explain it to her.
But.. bakre ki ma kabtak khair manayegi?
I've seen many a couple grow old and bitter. Once the nest is empty, they don't have anything in common left, and spend the rest of their life in anger and resentment. It's more important to invest in your marriage than your children. Children go away. Spouse is forever.
1st: sexual urge isn't unique to men.
2nd: if being single & unemployed leads to sexual crimes, why aren't women doing it?
3rd: rape is never about sex, it's always about power.
4th: all the employment/money in the world won't reduce rapes until we smash patriarchy/privilege!
There's a couple (married i assume) in a neighbouring building, who sit in their balcony every morning and evening having tea, sometimes chatting and laughing, sometimes sitting silently reading. I don't know them but i love their comfortable companionship. Wish I had that!❤️
I don't agree with most religious rituals and beliefs. Esp those related to widowhood, which are skewed negatively towards women. My mom will never be inauspicious for us. She'll continue to live her life as before, like wearing her red bindi, bangles etc. To hell with tradition.
So watching porn or ogling at cleavage is ok. But breastfeeding in public is vulgar. As long as breasts are sexual playthings, they're great. As soon as they perform the actual function they were made for, it's disgusting. Yes? No?
Happy 1st birthday to the love of my life. I can't believe you're 1 already. Seems like only yesterday I found out I was pregnant, and here you are ready to walk and claim the world. You were unexpected but dearly wanted. You've no idea how much happiness you've given me.❤️always
An American, when travelling to India, needs to apply for visa online, and pay 10 dollars.
And indian travelling to USA has to get one million documents and get rejected harshly more often than accepted in the interview, and pay $160 every time.
What nonsense is this? 😡😡
My family has always been unorthodox. We even get criticized, but we don't care. Yesterday I not only went to the cremation ground, but also performed the last rites with my brother. I'm glad no one objected. Daughters deserve to bid goodbye to parents as much as sons do!
Done with 10th? Science le lo. Done with 12th? Engineering kar lo! Done with grad? MBA kar lo. Done with PG? Banker ban jao. Got a job? Shaadi kar lo. Got married? Bachcha kar lo. Had a baby? Baby ke liye bhai lao. Had 2nd baby? Ghar khareedo. Bought a house? *something else*
Hello everyone. I'm all set in the hospital, unflattering gown and all 😛gonna chill today with baby, tomorrow is D-Day! Thanks for all your wishes and prayers! 😇🙏

I'm diabetic. Not by birth, got it at 25. Once, a colleague said - 'oh, you became diabetic before marriage? then you must've had a love marriage.' she thought it's difficult for people with chronic conditions to get married. Do you think marrying someone like that is a favour?
My average glucose levels have come down by 10 percent. My weight is down by 2 kilos. My doctor gave me 8/10 on my medical reports. Imma happy gal today 💃💃💃
Me and Rohit circa Dec 2005, sharing a drink during a party at IIMA. Recent acquaintances, not even friends.
And us, 17 years, a wedding and 2 kids later...
How time flies. That night i had no idea I'd end up with this cute guy with sideburns and have a whole family with him!
Is it just me or there are people who, no matter how hot it is or how many clothes they're wearing, need to cover themselves with some sheet/blanket no matter how thin, without which they cant sleep/nap peacefully?
I don't believe in universality of marriage and kids.
Want children? Marriage not compulsory. Eg Sushmita Sen
Want marriage? Kids not compulsory. Eg Jennifer Anniston
Want to live life? Marriage and kids not compulsory. Eg APJ Kalam.
Marriage and parenthood should be a choice.
If there's one thing life has taught me... You're on your own. Don't depend on spouse or kids. Plan for old age on your own. You never know what happens. Life is short and unpredictable. Hope for the best but always be prepared for the worst.
I have limited clothes, shoes, accessories, jewellery. I have 500 books instead. I'm tired of insults about how I dress - because I repeat. But I still spend on what I like: food, books, family experiences and memories. I don't care if you think I'm poor or unfashionable. I❤️me!
Funny how we are so polite with strangers, acquaintances, colleagues, neighbours etc. But take out all our anger and frustration on our loved ones, our family. Whether we are good to others or not, surely our families deserve the most love, respect, and kindness no?
It's only a man who can sleep till noon without worrying about managing morning chores, breakfast/lunch, supervising help, managing two kids etc. Women RARELY have that privilege.
As I complete 14 years of my relationship and 11 years of marriage next week, all I can say is... Shaadi karke koi kuch nahi ukhad leta hai. It's also imbalanced for women always. Also remember, (as my mom always says), when marriage walks in the door, love goes out the window.
Blocked my ex on Instagram. He was being a dick. Silent stalker. Feeling good. I broke up with him in 2003. I haven't seen him in person in over a decade. He was my first love. I never got over him. But today it feels like I got closure.
As Rachel said...
I ... Am over... You!
After dunno how many years, I'm happy to report that my fasting blood sugar level is less than 100!
As an almost type 1 diabetic dependent on insulin and struggling with eating issues, cant tell you how much this means to me.
I'm on a strict diet and it's finally working!💃
So my husband talks in his sleep. The other day when he was mumbling something more comprehensible than gibberish, I moved closer to figure if he took a girl's name. 😉
Turns out he was holding an office meeting and barking instructions to his subordinates.
Saala!
For me I've realised grief isn't linear. There's no start or end date. It comes and goes in waves. One moment you're fine, smiling even. Another moment, you're in pieces.
Can't believe she is already 9!
Where did all the time go?
1st birthday as a big sister, a role she loves and plays with aplomb. Seems like only yesterday she was born. And now he is almost a young woman already!Annie, no matter how old you are, you'll always be my little baby❤️
The most beautiful moment.. to have your little one sleep on you after so long! I feel like I should never move, stay like this forever. What a way to end the weekend ❤️ have a great Monday tomorrow everyone!

Shajahan aur Mumtaz,
Phir se duniya me aao...
Is baar Agra me nahi,
Mumbai me mehfil jamao...
Banaya hoga kisi
zamane me
Tumne Taj Mahal,
Aaj Ek '3BHK' flat
Worli me leke dikhao!!
Today on the Chautha, my brother was given the Pagri, Symbol of becoming responsible for the family. After the ritual was over I walked up to him, put half of the shawl on my shoulders, and told him I'm equally responsible for us, as I should be, irrespective of marital status.
Would you judge someone if they didn't cry on the death of their parent/sibling/spouse/child? Not because they're enjoying it out don't care. But maybe cuz they're unable to, or unwilling to in public? They're private, or unable to process grief properly?
I call my daughter by random names. Thia evening, I called her Champa Chameli. She came running. Amused, I asked her how she knows I'm calling her. She said: ma, there are no pets/other kids in the house. It's obvious it's me, cuz you definitely won't call daddy Champa Chameli!🤣
