In case you missed it, I've started writing a memoir of sorts, a collection of my experiences on the crime beat, on Medium. Shall very soon also start writing short fiction. You can show your love by reading and subscribing here: medium.com/@gautam.mengle

the weekend really humbled him 💀

Remember when Bollywood still had the confidence to hide a twist? Khakee did. Rajkumar Santoshi assembled a cast that looked less like a film and more like an awards-night seating plan. Amitabh Bachchan. Ajay Devgn. Akshay Kumar. Aishwarya Rai. Tusshar Kapoor. Too many stars for one police van, frankly. And yet the film never felt crowded. Everybody had a purpose. Everybody had secrets. Everybody seemed to be carrying information the audience wasn’t supposed to have yet. That was the fun of Khakee. You watched it once for the action. You watched it again to see the clues hiding in plain sight. The genius of the casting was that it encouraged assumptions. Bollywood had trained us to trust certain faces, suspect certain faces, and root for certain faces. Santoshi quietly played with all of that. Very naughty. Looking back, what stands out is how relentlessly adult the film was. No desperation to be fashionable. No urge to soften the edges. Just flawed people, shifting loyalties, bruised morality and a story willing to take risks with its audience. And then, of course, came that twist. The sort of twist that sent an entire theatre into instant discussion, half the audience admiring the audacity, the other half wondering how they hadn’t seen it coming. Either way, nobody forgot it. Which is more than can be said for most thrillers. 📸 Courtesy: Timeless Indian Melodies (FB)

Never forget that this guy had no problem yes-sirring the oppressor while his subjects were suffering and only took offence when asked to eat meat.

something tells me if your wife asked you to just lie back and spread your legs for 10mins just 2-3x a week so she can peg you to make her happy, she’d be divorced soon after

Don't even get me started.

Men have been casually saying this exact same thing about women for decades without bothering to quote any strong evidence but say it about men and suddenly this study is "motivated" and "unfounded" and "propaganda".

My latest article: from Pokémon Go to military drone navigation, the journey of AR mapping data tells us how consumer play can become defence infrastructure. The issue is not a hack, but a quiet dual-use pipeline hidden inside everyday technology. sundayguardianlive.com/opini…

'Aajkal Paon Zameen Par'... this song has survived decades, changing playlists, changing formats, changing generations. Yet somehow, it still feels the same. 🎶❤️
