@gurdeepsappal @tehseenp If anyone wants to know what Babudom in India is all about, this post is a great starting point. 🥹

White towels are a legacy of British era, when there were few roads, fewer cars and no ACs. Officer toured on horses and towels were an integral part of hygiene routine. British left, horses were sent away, but towels stayed! It’s not just towels, the size of tables and colour of ink are also defined by hierarchy. When I was working at Joint Secretary level with the Vice President of India, I had to fight a stiff battle of sorts to order a smaller table that would fit better in my office. The system would not approve of a smaller table! Regarding the colour of ink to be used for noting and signature, Sh. Arun Shourie has written a hilarious, if not ridiculous, memoir as minister. In 1999, two officers in the Ministry of Steel made notings on files using red and green ink. This raised a furore as they were junior officers. The seniors were scandalised and an enquiry was initiated. India’s bureaucracy spent 13 months debating which colour ink officers could use on files. The enquiry was routed through several ministries and departments: Ministry of Steel wrote to Dept of Administrative Reforms It referred to Directorate of Printing (ink experts) Printing referred to Dept of Personnel & Training (DoPT) DoPT threw the ball back: “it’s your Manual, you decide” National Archives was consulted for longevity of ink colours Ministry of Defence consulted for Army ink hierarchy Conclusion after 13 months: juniors wrote in blue-black or blue ink, because that has the longest life of impression. In British era, the files had to travel to Britain, so juniors would write in ink that would stay for the longest. The top brass would sign in green and red. Ruling: Two new paras were added to the manual of office procedure: Para 32(9) says that only officers of Joint Secretary level and above may use red or green ink, and that too only in rare cases. Para 68(5), on the other hand, does not limit the use of these colours to any particular rank (as modern ball pen ink have no issues of shelf life for any colour!) The white towel on the officer’s chair. The red telephone on the desk. The peon standing at the door. The green ink reserved for the senior sahib. These are not accidents of history. They are architecture, the physical grammar of a bureaucratic culture that worships hierarchy.

@bhramvadini Didi ye dekho x.com/i/status/20457…

@bhramvadini More kids need to see Dhurandhar 1 & 2 lol.

LSR is an all girls college. LSR principal spoke out in favour of women's reservation bill brought out by BJP (aka saffron party). LSR's students spoke out against their principal for "Saffronization". So are they not in favour of women's reservation bill?

@TweetinderKaul Take out Warne, Watson, Hussey, S Marsh & Starc & a few select others, Aussies have been chutiya kaatne ki machine at the IPL. What hurts the owners more is they go for big money.

How bad have the Aussies been in this IPL? They will come good when the big matches come. But frankly that will be one or two of them. But as a cohort, quite meh. Cooper Connolly very good. Hazelwood so far mixed but you have to back him. The rest?

@FrameOracle Haan. Aur tu Zakir Naik ki najayaz aulaad hai.

@ShawshankOne @AdityaRajKaul @AdityaDharFilms Do bar dekhe ho to ye baat bhi pata Chala hoga ki Ajay sanyal ka character R.Madhavan ab tak ka Azad Bharat ke sabse bada terrorist hai.

Took mom out for Dhrurandhar 2. My second watch. I just realized the 1st 20 minutes & last 20 minutes of this movie are probably the best ever sequences in the history of Hindi Cinema. @AdityaRajKaul @AdityaDharFilms

@rahul10787 @AdityaRajKaul @AdityaDharFilms Someone who has healthy relations with their parents post adulthood. Its not rocket science.

@ShawshankOne @AdityaRajKaul @AdityaDharFilms How can someone be comfortable to watch gaali galoch with parents

The only thing I liked about O Romeo is Tripti Dimri. She is so good. For the first time Shahid Kapoor has acted badly in a VB movie. Overall movie is also trash.

Dialouge from O Romeo "Babri Mazjid ke pehele mazhab Underworld se azaad thha". Classic leftist propaganda by Vishal Bharadwaj. He is a brilliant filmmaker but is also heavily agenda driven. But that doesn't make me want to boycott him. Omkara is still my fav Bollywood movie

@RohitRainaRR @AdityaRajKaul @AdityaDharFilms Dhar Sahb copyright nahi maarte. He believes in FoE.

@ShawshankOne @AdityaRajKaul @AdityaDharFilms Apne blue tick ka khayal to rakh lo 😭

@DwellingDeep_ Kiska?

@ShawshankOne Yahin kal accident hua tha 🥹

Theos Def Col is ❤️

@GabbbarSingh MJ was heavily penalised by Hollywood for not conforming. He was so insane that he could hav3 featured in 25 best singers & dancers of all time. IMHO he was not a pedophile. He was attempting to stop Epstine shit & got shot in the crossfire.

I don’t think the world has seen a bigger pop-star than Michael Jackson. When he came to Andheri Sports complex in 1996, and made his appearance, girls literally fainted. A distant 3rd world country back then. Millions copied his dance moves. If his music video somehow appeared on TV, everybody would stop. His death slowed the Internet.

Kisi ch+tiye ne U Turn pe Kabootar ka dana daal diya. Ab maar ke dikhao U Turn. At Noida expressway service lane. @Noidatraffic

@GabbbarSingh One of the reasons why AMS is probably the best counsels of his generation. Doesn't give up & his face value means judges will hear him irrespective of "small errors" in pleadings.

Lawyering is a tough profession. Check Manu Singhvi telling his colleague to “Keep quiet” at 4:04 🥲

After reading an Era of Darkness by Dr Shashi Tharoor, I realised how the British Empire drained India economically. But after reading India That Is Bharat by J Sai Deepak, I realized how the British Empire didn't just drain us economically but altered Bharatiya ethos on a Social, Political, Educational & Psychological level that now Dr Tharoor seems like a procuct of the British Empire. This is super layered with no disrespect to anyone concerned.

What is happening in Noida? Entire businesses get affected due to West Bengal elections. Demography is real.

@NonsensicalNemo Schulzy will play Ken's manager. Should be fun.

Banger cast. Noah Centineo was fabulous in The Recruit. Koji was sublime in the Bruce Lee-inspired Warrior. Can't wait

If Aditya Dhar is making a movie on Chandragupta Maurya then I want to see Akshaye Khanna as Chanakya. For starters hairline won't be a problem.
