Yesterday was a big day, in my journey. I haven’t been much active for last one month as I was just soaking what all is going on in my life. The changes are there, maybe not that much but yea. Haven’t been to office yet as HR hasn’t shared my coming out letter. What I am doing is that I am coming out to people who I directly interact with. But yesterday was big. My brother is in Mumbai for last one week for training for his new job. He told me that he’ll be leaving for Nagpur on Sunday and will come back after 6 weeks to complete training in Mumbai. So he told me he can’t meet. So I was not very happy but I booked my next laser session, my second. But in the morning I got call from him telling me that their plan have changed and now they have to move to Navi Mumbai as they have few field trips planned. I was like great, let’s meet. I told him I have laser, so we planned post that. In evening, I thought rather than meeting him in public, I should rather call him to my place; so I pinged him, he obliged. I also shared my pic to him so that he can see how I look now. He didn’t give any reactions though. Then he came, we sat, we talked, only enough though, as it was me starting communication. The only thing I said was to stop calling me bhai anywhere. Which he said he’ll do. Then he played some Forza Horizon 6 on my laptop After that we went out for dinner, we had soups, noodles and paneer manchurian. It was a good cheat day lol. But it was a happy feeling, my brother is not repelled by me, he is ok having a sister. That feeling just gave me hope, that one day my parents might see the light too. Thank you for everyone being so kind and so respectful. This means a hell lot. Note : Adding a chaotic photo as we didn’t get chance and I did it while running towards him lol. P.S. As few of you can figure out, I started using makeup, do let me know how it looks though. I am really a very beginner. That pic was from early evening the same day.






It is a strange tactical decision from the Congress high command to ignore Sonam Wangchuk. He was recently imprisoned by the Modi government on trumped up charges. He's currently on a hunger strike against educational irregularities that affect lakhs of children and their parents. And yet, Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi haven't expressed their solidarity with him. Congress' problem with @abhijeet_dipke largely stems from his past association with AAP. But even the Congress has a past association with AAP. Congress and AAP leaders have campaigned for each other in 2024. Secondly, even though Dipke was once associated with AAP, the larger crowd he has managed to galvanise are young people with no political affiliations. Many of them have voted once or twice in general elections. Some of them will vote for the first time in 2029. @RahulGandhi needs these voters on his side. Why wouldn't you use a platform of 23 million followers to woo them? Yes, the NSUI has creditably protested against the paper leaks. It didn't make as much noise because the mainstream media ignored their protests. But what stops the Congress party leaders from using the CJP's platform and spreading the message of their protets to the wider public? This is or was your chance to bypass the mainstream media and reach out to voters with a bit of a clean slate. It requires a bizarre kind of insecurity to compete with an agitation rather than using it as an opportunity. Leave aside the political strategy for a minute. An activist known for educational innovation is on a hunger strike against the government. His health is deteriorating rapidly. The visuals of him weakening by the day are going through to millions of people on social media. And Rahul Gandhi hasn't given a damn about it. How does that look on your CV? Insensitive or callous?

The silence of mainstream media on Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger-strike will never be forgiven.
