Before Elon scrapped the “likes” I used to have a list of people (who I thought were smart) and go through their likes everyday to get access to good content. Now I have to rely on the algorithm ugh

The founder of the previous company I worked for used to yell at everybody in Hindi. So I told them I didn’t know Hindi cause I’m from Chennai (Tamilian). So they had to switch to English to yell at me each time and I got yelled at way lesser than other folks because of this.

Any guy with half a brain would know that no court in India grants 70% as alimony as a norm. Watching men who themselves have taken dowry/made their wive's family pay for wedding expenses/forced their wives to quit their job, yap about equality and justice has been intriguing.

Not to be mean but these northies have wrecked the review system of South Indian restaurants. Everything is rated 4.5+ on Swiggy and Zomato. They will just eat anything that’s called idli and dosa and give it a 5 I think. I miss CTR, Janata, Veena 😭😭
