When dealing with shit, remember, this stool shall pass ~ Confucius

Shut up. He is a goodwill jester.

A final-year law student, Rishi Kumar from Tamil Nadu National Law University, refuses to delete his blog criticising the Supreme Court… despite pressure from his own university. Why? Because the administration allegedly received calls from advocates, judges, and others claiming the post harms the institution’s “reputation.” The blog titled “The Supreme Court of India Has No Spine” questioned the court’s decision to ban an NCERT textbook chapter on judicial corruption. But here’s the real issue: A law student is being told to silence himself… for expressing a legal opinion. His response? Clear and powerful: “My opinions are mine… you do not own my voice or my conscience.” He even said he’s ready to face disciplinary action rather than back down. This isn’t just about one blog. This is about academic freedom vs institutional pressure. If law students… the future of the judiciary are discouraged from questioning the system, then who exactly is allowed to question it? Criticism of institutions ≠ disrespect. Silencing criticism = weakening democracy.

There is this idea for the mother of mashups in the Indian cinema context. But that's only the bait. The commentary is at linkedin.com/posts/manupras…

So a hip flexor is not a cool person showing off?

@KiranManral I feel like one of the two in Shyamalan's Unbreakable. Can't be sure which one 😂

@manuscrypts I can never judge when receiving. But I'm so petrified of giving the wrong thing. We are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

On my Substack today. "I have been blessed more often than I can remember. These blessings come to me not as grand declarations or gestures, but more often than not through a quiet pressing into my hand. Through objects that have been chosen with me in mind, carried or couriered, and given with a love that cannot be hurried. These blessings arrive folded into paper, tucked into a bag, or pressed gently into one’s hands, and it carry with them the weight of having been thought about, of being remembered, somewhere in the middle of another person’s hectic day, when they could just as easily have been thinking of something else, someone else. I am grateful. Gifts flummox me. I find myself uncertain in their presence. This is not in the receiving of them, which I accept with an ease that sometimes surprises me, but with the act of giving, which has always felt like a language I never quite learned to speak with any kind of fluency. I linger too long over choices when I have to gift, second-guessing what something might mean, or whether it will say enough, or worse, say something unintended, until the moment passes and the intention dissolves into a vague promise I make to myself about doing better next time, a promise that remains, more often than not, gently unfulfilled. I am a terrible gift giver. And that is a regret, something I need to rectify. And so, when gifts come to me, they carry with them an added layer of wonder because they have crossed a distance I myself have never quite managed to traverse." thestorycompanyindia.substack.com/p/of-love-wrap…

If you want to know what humiliation feels like, become a pedestrian for an hour. Walk just one kilometer on any Indian street. You will quickly realise how the city treats you like trash. #Walkability

AI could be a weapon of mass destruction/distraction/instruction. We still have time.

I am wondering if Israel needs psychiatric help at a societal level for generational trauma. Maybe that will turn them away from genocide.

Perfect teamwork..🐕🐾🐈😅

New kind of censorship of authors

Best review of Dhurandhar 2 🤣

Heartbreaking.

മഴവില്ല് - Rainbow മുടന്തൻ ന്യായം ~ lame excuse Direct translations #malayalam I wonder which came first. Any more you can think of?

if after you watched pk and came out with the conclusion that they were "mocking god" im sorry but you genuinely have the media literacy of an infant armadillo

Frankly, this is the kind of stuff that ensures fewer people stand up against injustice, fewer people help others when in need, fewer good samaritans all around. What an outrageous thing for a judge to say. I feel terrible for Deepak.

My friend Kevin told me about this page of Unparalleled Misalignments by Ricki Heicklen and it will be one of those web pages I turn to for years and years and just chuckle with deep pleasure. TED Talk —> Edward Said is just 🤌🏼 rickiheicklen.com/unparalleled-m…

@manuscrypts you'll love this!
