How I Made Up with Make-up
Had puberty not been so cruel, would I have chosen differently? Would I have bothered with “interesting” if “hot” were available?

AAP Gaye, Gore Rahe
I am relieved that AAP has not come to power in Goa and will be unable to weed out the drugs and the corruption. Let’s be honest, we love Goa for everything that’s wrong with it.

“What Am I Doing Here?” The Guilt that Comes with Every Outing in the Time of the Pandemic
For the first 3/4th of the pandemic, I took pride in being responsible. My resolve remained absolute, my discipline unwavering in the wake of those setting worse examples around me – flocking to Goa, pubbing. Eventually, I gave in. I started travelling and doing things I don’t do even in a normal year, like attending weddings. But each of these outings is accompanied by guilt.

Nope, Mumbaila BMC Var Bharosa Nahi
If Facebook were to make a year-end review video for the BMC, it would have a really distressing story to tell. This year, we’ve had a doctor fall into a manhole and lose his life, the Elphinstone station stampede, multiple deaths due to potholes, and now the horrendous Kamala Mills fire.

Why I Didn’t Sign the Petition to Commute “Nirbhaya” Rapists’ Death Sentence to Life Imprisonment
If there ever was a case that was tailored to strengthen the position of those rooting for capital punishments for exceptionally cruel crimes, it would be the Dec 16 Delhi gang rape.

But here’s the thing we forget while we’re busy chasing the job that’s supposed to shit rainbows and unicorns: The bills aren’t going to pay themselves. It’s time we stopped romanticising work.

Zomato Can Guarantee Halal Meat, But it Can’t (and Shouldn’t) Guarantee the Religion of its Delivery Execs
Ensuring food is prepared according to your order is Zomato’s responsibility. Ensuring the delivery driver’s religion meets up with your regressive criteria for whom you will accept food from, is not their responsibility. Got it? Good.

Shashi Tharoor, You’ve Put Liberals in a Spot. We Now Have to Defend Arnab Goswami
With that FIR against Arnab Goswami, Shashi Tharoor has now legitimised the Republic TV anchor as a journalist. Tharoor has enabled the biggest bully of our times to play the victim card, and put all of us in the awkward position of having to side with Goswami on the issue of freedom of press.

To All The Hiring Managers Who’ve Ghosted Me Before
I was once randomly dumped after six rounds of interviews, which included writing an elaborate test, over a generic text message. Even by modern dating standards that was cruel. Dear hiring executives, how about putting the human in Human Resource management?

How I Learned to Love My Society’s I-Day Celebration
I used to dislike the society’s I-day celebrations that sounded and felt like a repeat of the one before, but for the two years during the pandemic that it went missing, I realised its importance.
