And I'll say it again:
Nowhere in the world will you find a worse specimen of a young man than in India
Ill-raised, badly behaved, ill-educated, entitled, foolish, easily led, lacking in self control, arrogant for no reason, and selfish.
The three *most* important things the court said today when they acquitted

1. Why are you doing this on twitter/social media?
2. What proof do you have?
3. Why didn't you speak up then?
If you're raising young boys in urban, English-speaking India, please listen to them carefully and see where they're getting their ideas of manhood from. *Listen* to them.

We've furnished evidence.
We hope to see action taken.

Thank you.
First evening in days I've had to myself.
So so so overwhelmed.
Ok. Important announcement.
If you are a survivor/victim of sexual harassment at the work place, and have put your name behind the accusations, the National Commission for Women would like to take it forward.
They require written complaints. I'm writing mine today.
Children are not responsible for the actions of their parents.
It's hard enough on families if one of them has been called out or accused of harassment.
Dragging on Mallika or Prayaag is an unkind thing to do.
Putting it out there
Deeply, deeply disappointed by my male friends in the media - who have been in the industry for years -- who have chosen to stay quiet publicly.
You have let me down.
Guys, Kerala health minister deserves a *lot* more followers than she has
She's @/shailajateacher and she's *so* no-nonsense, *so* efficient and *so* clear. I feel bad just sounding like I'm certifying her but I'm in awe. She's a hero.
"Doing this for? No one is going to pay you attention with make up."
They're in classes as young as grade 7, 8 and 9. Talk to them before our girls have to grow up fighting yet another bunch of incels. And PLEASE monitor their internet activity.
Clearly you've never put your heart and soul into something worthwhile in your life or you wouldn't find yourself lacking in compassion that allows you to understand why this man cried in full public view
I was expecting better temperament from the
@ISRO
chairman. Failures happen and are stepping stones for the success ahead. ISRO's achievements and efforts are applauded by the entire world. A man of his stature crying like a baby because of shortfalls looks idiotic to me.
How single mothers, or any mothers, live with the daily heartbreak of what their teenage children say to them is a massive mystery to me. There's going to be no heart left by the time they grow up for it to break.
I want to fling myself off the terrace every second day 😭
Like many, many things new Bengaluru, always too little bang for the buck. Mediocrity wrapped in hype. No eye for delivering a superior product/experience.
Pretentious restaurants and cafes with pedestrian fare but Instagram worthy interiors
Hyper expensive outdoor exhibitions
Trevor Noah left the stage sometime back. He said the show can’t be like this, tickets will be refunded. Then at 8.30 organisers announce that they are in the process of sorting it out and Trevor will hopefully be back
"why file a defamation against one woman who alleged harassment? Why not the other 13? So by implication is he saying they haven't defamed him and he's guilty? Why doesn't he take them all on?" -- Kamini Jaiswal on CNBC
Gosh!
Such a privilege to be able to be working from home. Some person tweeted in anger about her apartment complex being flooded and about a gazillion Bangaloreans asked her to go back to wherever she came from. Maybe put that energy into protesting over this. So dangerous.
"Don't talk to girls so much, bro. Be halal." This kid is one year senior and not Muslim. Son says he immediately figured the boy was a Tate fanboi. A little later another kid was heard telling a girl reapplying her lipstick, "stop doing this shit for attention. Who are you +

Hey
@umasudhir
stop reaching out to survivors and gaslighting them and asking them to go back on their stories. Stop misrepresentating their communication with you. They live with enough fear as it is.
It's very very wrong. Defend your husband in less intrusive ways.
Here's how Karnataka BJP MLA Aravind Limbavali misbehaves and assaults a woman when she approached him with her grivence.
In the same video he threatens her with police action. Kudos to the lady!
Will News Agency & National media cover this, Or ignore it because he's from BJP?
Over four years ago when a bunch of us sat here and spent months publishing stories about women who had faced sexual harassment at the hands of colleagues and bosses, many took us seriously. Many more berated us and called us names. They questioned the integrity of our stories
And finally, one more calling out and I'm done.
Gautam Adhikari who was the editor in chief of DNA Bombay. His exec assistant and I were think friends and we'd go out a lot. Once he told her you girls are always going out, I'm new to the city show me some sights
Remember your favourite food bloggers, comedians, punsters, artists all keeping quiet and talking about dosas, and pets and holidays these last two days.
Check their TL for their utter silence. Then unfollow them. These people are complicit.
Just taking a moment to say
@SaketGokhale
is doing invaluable work. (Check last RT)
Work of thousands. All on his own.
Do consider helping him keep fighting by donating here
Guys guys stop.
@vivekagnihotri
has enough brains to discriminate who should be on that list and who shouldn't it seems. Have you sought his approval to claim

tag?
If you haven't donated to
#KeralaFloods
yet I urge you consider a donation to this cause. Adivasi children whose homes, lands and books washed away. A close friend is working on this. I vouch for its authenticity.
Madhavan, stop.
For years you've made sexist and unfunny jokes. (I don't know which is a worse crime)
Let the stories come. If nothing else, it's a good warning for men on how not to behave in social settings.
India's
#metoo
is going the Indian way. All sorts of random experiences are being clubbed under a single head. But sab chalta hai. Just like our street traffic. As a culture we lack conceptual clarity but outrage is in oversupply.
#MeTooIndia
I’m married to a Brahmin and I can safely state that I have never faced
#BrahminicalPatriarchy
from him or any of the Brahmin family members
It’s quite shameful that I have to actually say this out aloud, as there’s a section in the world trying to suggest that it’s rampant!
Since I'm calling them out.
Let me tell you about
@KRSreenivas
who is currently resident editor
@toi
Hyderabad (I think) who offered to drop me back after a day's work.
We were about to launch Bangalore mirror back in 2008 and I had just moved to this city.
I fell out with a bunch of people last night over the hijab issue in Karnataka. Any which way I look at it, there's no room to have an opinion that supports stealing and education from going girls. A lawyer threw the law at me in defence of her Islamophobia with +
Alok Nath is doing a film that's a euphemism for "Fuck you."
K R Sreenivas is heading "editorial research" at the Thanthi group's DTNext

And the women are being questioned about the future of
#MeToo
whatever that means.
2005 Miss India Niharika Singh's experiences in Bollywood but especially with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mayank Singh Singvi
Niharika and other women accused Siddiqui of making up lies in his autobiography, due to which he withdrew the book.
This is her side of the story.
Please never have kids if you've sworn in high school that you'll never touch maths again.
I can't BELIEVE I'm sitting down with one of mine teaching her square roots AFTER A FULL DAY AT WORK.
I need a wife.
Top of my list of things to be grateful for.
Been a month since I saw my kids (nearly) and the time and space to think about them and me as a parent. As many mistakes I've made, I also have had to see how I've nurtured them and their personalities. I think they'll be okay.

Mr Pai, it's ok to make a fool of yourself around friends with family. They know you. But do you have to do it front of the VP elect of the US?
Some self respect and a knowledge of your own limited gk occasionally is a good thing.
My maternal uncle is visiting. He starts to speak to 10 in rapid Malayalam (knowing 10's malayalam is basic) and ends with, Manasilaayo?
10 goes still for good 20 seconds. I ask him, did you understand?
He says with the blankest expression, "No. I thought he was rapping."
what the fuck am i supposed to do about vinod dua finding work on some channel?
what is anoo, barkha, rituparna, mahima, or any of the women here supposed to do?
think about how it feels to have spent so much time effort and energy, not to mention risking livelihoods
This is Mr Tanhaji Jadav and his 3 year old son from Surat. A neighbor saw this tweet and contacted me to tell me about him. This style of singing is natya sangeet, apparently a dying art. Many blessings and love to the wonderful twosome
Triggers work in the strangest way -- sometimes they let us end years of excruciating silence.
This woman's account of sexual assault at the hands of T S Sudhir who used to work at India Today.
My mum has started a small home-cooked food catering venture. It's been a dream for over 30 years for her. At 62, her cooking skills are their finest. Her first menu is up today. (She's doing a tiny pop-up for her resident community)
(Cutlets, idiappam and veg stew in pictures)
I gave in and replied to that Rangoli whatsherface. She's frothing at the mouth so badly it's hilarious. And because of my A1 supertastic settings I don't see her replies or she dumbass followers' replies till mutuals like one of mine.
So much fun to rile her.
If you work for a company that makes perishables such as atta, milk (tetrapak kind), milk powder, instant noodles etc+ hygiene things such as soaps, sanitary napkins, could you get in touch with me if you can get us this stuff at discounted rates? DM open.

@MNageswarRaoIPS
Do you actually understand the sentences you create or are you just putting words together in any order on MS Word till the grammar seems correct to you, and then paste it here?
Just spoke to the organisers. This session has been cancelled.
Till Suhel Seth issues a statement, or an apology and shows change, I intend to do my best to register protest every time.
@diandrasoares13
Can anyone find this?
The session opened with my being asked by Rahul Kanwal, who was handling the panel, if work spaces were now safer. I said, "you tell me. India Today still houses two accused men and we haven't heard of an investigation."
Is that why this isn't online?
i possibly had the most difficult conversation with my kids just now. i wasn't ready for it but that's the nature of these chats, right? you are never ready. i just retweeted a tweet that introduced me as a panelist for a suicide prevention chat. +
