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.

@mumbaiactor_ So did I!

@NotMengele Loved this one 👌

Just finished watching this absolutely brilliant film on Netflix. A misogynistic man wakes up in an alternate reality, where women have it easy and men are objectified, harassed, suppressed, denied opportunities, called "too emotional" and asked to "just relax". Pure cinema.

The future is bleak, my friends. Love hard. Live your life. Reconnect with friends you miss and have lost touch with. Make time for family. That is what will get us through.

A world famous hotel chain got hacked, and the hackers stayed inside its network for four years! youtube.com/shorts/q18cucD…

And millions of women stay in a marriage "for kids" not realising they are ruining the kids also in the process

@NotMengele Should have led with that……

Someone who'd been out of touch for five to six years suddenly called me out of the blue. They spent over 20 minutes telling me about a family dispute and I kept offering advice based on my knowledge of the law. Somehow, nothing seemed to work for them till they finally said, "Maybe you can publish something about this...?" I told them I had switched from journalism to cybersecurity awareness, and they said a hurried goodbye and hung up within 30 seconds. Wow.

@GinaVKumar I think this is a remake of that one :).

@NotMengele There is an old French movie with the same plot. Can't recall the name.

A tribal woman from Chhattisgarh's Surguja carried her 90 year old mother-in-law on her shoulders and walked 5 km in the scorching heat to avail her pension money.

friends that understand your anti-social phases and don't take them personally are important.

Man posts happy story about him and his gorgeous wife. The best people on this website share their thoughts.

At the Government Health Centre in Faridabad today. Of course, the only reason a daughter is valued is for her to become a mother to a son.

A working husband comes home to rest, while a working wife comes home to start her second shift. It’s really not easy being a woman

@wolfmomz Hahahaha yessss!! 🙌

@NotMengele My orkut buddy, you!

I was in college when Orkut was launched. Orkut would show you who visited your profile and if I liked their profile, I'd leave this scrap: "Hamare profile pe aate hain woh; Ek scrap nahi chhod jaate hain woh. Kya itna bhi nahi maloom unko; Recent visitors mein dikh jaate hain woh." Corny is retrospect but it's got some great...results, let me tell y'all 🤭.

The word "allegedly" seems to be creating a lot of hoo-haa over its usage and rightly so. Here's a quick, easy tip on where and how to use it in a news report: An "allegation" is always against a person. No matter what the incident is, "allegedly" enters the picture when a person enters it. Someone's death is not an allegation. But the death being caused by or perpetrated by someone else, is an allegation. Hence, it can't be "allegedly died after dowry torture.". It should be "died, allegedly after/due to torture for dowry." Similarly, if a man is found stabbed or shot, he isn't "allegedly murdered". The murder is quite clear. He is "murdered, allegedly by the accused." Apply this principle to every situation and it gets easier. Hope this helps!

@ArMayuriPatkar And I am craving fish. Will probably get some and make today :)
