I was approached by 2 young Christian missionary boys today who wanted to talk to me about Jesus Christ. Clearly they didn't know that they were barking up the wrong tree. My question is, how do you respectfully decline such advances in a foreign country?

The tragic story of India’s Kashmiri Pandits deserves telling, but in a way that recognizes complexity and doesn’t portray all Muslims—many of whom suffered too—as bloodthirsty bigots. Singapore works hard to maintain social harmony. It doesn’t want to import poison from India.

I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted today. The silver lining is that my sustenance for the next couple of days will be only khichdi-kadhi and milkshakes. 😋😋😋

Certain biological realities have shaped societies to value youth + innocence in females and power + experience in males. Women will often be rejected for being too old, men will often be rejected for not making enough money.

Imagine being rejected by mothers of 28 and 31yo men because you’re 25 not 22yo 🤡 Imagine people saying no to you because you dont look like an 18yo at the age of 25. “Age zyada lag rahi hai larhki ki” Im so done. With everyone and everything.

True. I have this one friend who has a cat. She lets the cat walk everywhere, including the kitchen countertop, shelves. I'm pretty sure she has ingested her cat's hair cause that kitty sheds a lot. Istg I have never and will never eat/drink anything at her place.
