My mom did a thing.

The good thing about the clever, kinda well read, kinda successful & kinda well spoken Indian sophisticates is their belief they're 'self made'. If it wasn't for social access most of us including me would be sitting in a waiting room hoping for an interview. Self made is a myth

On January 6th, a friend texted me. He'd found an injured dog by a garbage dump in Bangalore. It couldn't walk, it couldn't even stand. Most of its fur was gone, it was covered in sores. He didn't have the time to help it but sent me this picture. 🧵👇🏿

For a small fee, I will go to your enemy's conference presentation, be the first one to raise my hand, and have "more a comment than a question" for 3/4 of whatever time is allotted for questions. For a bit extra, I'll make sure to remind them of how tenuous their argument is.

Potato came to India in 16th century. First written record of dosa was in 8th century.
Which means there was an 800 year gap between first dosa and first masala dosa.

I sleep well at night knowing that every white man who ever held an important job was most definitely, 100 percent, without question, the most qualified. I mean, they never get fired for incompetence, jailed for corruption, let go for poor performance.

These people want Muslims to submit unconditionally as reparations for what medieval kings did but will go up in arms and get offended when the casteism of their immediate family is pointed out.
