@soumyaasays Ask yourself like you would ask a loved one- "what do you feel like eating today". Just be careful you dont eat junk everyday.

It’s so confusing to decide your meals when living alone; how do people manage the regular decision making!? Any suggestions?

@TheCinesthetic It works only for a film-maker whose job is to make movies. At 10 a.m she is sharp & alert to absorb from the film.

Greta Gerwig was right. There’s something special about watching a movie at 10 a.m. or 4 p.m.

@ritujoon2j If they are asking a friend for a loan , or trying to call wife to pacify her anger, they would whisper

Why do some people intentionally talk so loudly in cafes or restaurants? What is the psychology behind that?

@ritujoon2j They often seek validation. I saw a man sitting next to my table at an airport yelling loudly: "I finished meeting. Now am at AIRPORT" He said AIRPORT many times.

@ThebookishC yep. Same with movies.

If you’re trying to get into reading, please don’t force yourself to read books you don’t enjoy because everyone else loves them. That’s one of the fastest ways to hate reading.

@bhaumikgowande Leave it as it is. People wont linger/paint/read. They will trash and shit. Just leave it as it is.

3 days in Ahmedabad & I've barely seen anyone use Sabarmati Riverfront as public space. Along the Thames, the Seine, the Chicago River or the Hudson Bay, people read, paint, exercise, kayak, lunch, linger daily. Too much concrete, too few trees. This needs better urban design.

@goodreads I am yet to find an ugly cover book which is very interesting. So yes.

Do you judge books by their covers? Be honest.

@iam_preethi We will evolve. For better or worse. Humans have gone through long periods of starvation, disease, etc & our bodies have adapted. Maybe females will evolve to bear less children. Nature may find a way to reduce the human load on earth.

Modern women have ~400 periods in their lifetime. Pre-modern women had closer to 100. They spent most of their fertile years pregnant or breastfeeding, which naturally suppressed ovulation. Our hormone systems evolved for far fewer cycles than we run through today. This is plausibly one reason why endometriosis and fibroids are so much more common now.

@AuthorGFAllen Yes, Bath because it came up so often in Austen's novels

Is there a place you’ve wanted to visit because of a book you read?

@maynkydvv I go quiet & speak to myself often. Stare at nature for a long time. Remember "This too shall pass"

During a very dark period, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health?

@Dr_MonikaSingh_ I would have loved to understand what she thinks and why she thinks that way, but she seems very very angry

अंधभक्त आंटी कसम से प्लीज कोई इस अंधभक्त आंटी से मेरी लाइव डिबेट करा दो, इसके बाद पूरी जिंदगी ये किसी से डिबेट करने लायक नहीं बचेगी। इस दिमाग के सारे जाले साफ कर दूंगी।

@Bloke_Baz I had a colleague who had a panic attack every Sunday evening. He would eventually call me and my friend to prepare himself to say his lines on Mon morning.

I swear the air gets heavier around 6pm on Sundays. You can feel the Microsoft Teams aura energy approaching.

@sabeer Clean air. And here I am, suffering from asthma this morning because the air is so humid and polluted today. Maybe I am being punished for my sins this way.

Beautiful walk on Baker Beach…

@DrDebraSoh The men might also carry one- a blue one?

In Finland, carrying a pink grocery basket tells shoppers you’re single & want to be approached. I like the idea, but how useful will this be if most men aren’t interested in dating anymore?

@Wangchuk66 I had grown up regretting the absence of a real life hero. Someone whose resilience & sacrifice inspires. Someone educated. Today I am seeing one fight in real time. When facing hardships in life, I will always remember you & fight on.

TOO WEAK TO SAY ANYTHING Amidst all pain this little girl brought a smile on my face.

@awwmishaaa Option B by Sheryl Sandberg. Helped me through hard times

Readers, what's one book that you read recently which stayed with you? I am looking for recommendations.

@DevinRN88 Some listen to audiobooks while doing chores

How do people genuinely work a 9-5 job and still find time to read books regularly?

@fwtimini True! I would rather book an Airbnb near their house

The older I get, the more I realize how much I hate sleeping at other people’s houses.

@Psychodoctor06 The quickest way to lose an adult is to talk packages, jobs and settle kia kya.

The quickest way to lose a teenager is to make every conversation about marks, phones, or mistakes. Talk about their world. Connection comes before correction. #parenting

@TaufiqBiryani I loved the movie. It also made me wonder if women like Sashi ever thought about romantic love & the kind of man she truly respects. I have seen a lot of women her age who do not even want to think of that.

The closest thing to world peace is everyone agreeing that Shashi should've left her ungrateful family for Laurent.
