@avataram Navigating this right now - curious what u think is best preparation for parents with NRI kids? A trust?

The concept of sharing a credit card w your bestfriend @mund0sinfin

@fatemajraja The birkin is also extremely oversaturated and accessible now (relatively, due to more resale options and better high quality reps) it also didnt beat the SnP for the first time in a while recently

I watched a woman at a dinner party in South Mumbai spend twenty minutes explaining why her bag wasn't Hermès. Not apologizing for it. Not defending a budget choice. Explaining. She talked about the artisan workshop in West Bengal. The waiting list she'd been on. The traditional weaving technique most people had never heard of. The sustainability practices. The fact that only people "in the know" would recognize the brand. She spent more time talking about why she didn't buy the Birkin than most people spend talking about why they did.And everyone at the table was riveted. That's when it hit me: the luxury game has completely flipped. The flex isn't what you can afford anymore. It's what you understand. The logo—the very thing luxury brands spent billions building equity in—has become embarrassing to the people who can actually afford it. And that’s what dominates the new luxury: consumers are collecting expertise, not objects. The brand that gives them the most to know—wins the loyalty that economic capital alone can’t buy.

@AgentPaneer @cleanbowled671 @MariGO2thepolls @MarysRoommate I dont believe in caste just sharing about my experience. Im a saraswat brahmin if you only count dads side, and in KPs its very very encouraged to cook meat for Herath. This is part of their worship. Same for bengali brahmins who offer meat and fish to devi.

@lytcheejuice @cleanbowled671 @MariGO2thepolls @MarysRoommate No. By what logic is it encouraged? You only know caste and some practices? If so, what kind of a brahman are you?

Why hasn’t Vivek just converted to Christianity? It would obviously be advantageous to his career and he does not strike me as an especially spiritual man. He’s obviously mostly driven by professional ambition.

A core memory for me is telling everyone at a family dinner Gisele is worth more than Brady and everyone laughing at me as if its THAT implausible that the worlds top supermodel is paid more than Tom Brady like stfu so glad everyone had to eat their words

Its so funny that this is the context in which people know plum sykes because rhe context i know her in is her very popular substack telling u what butter is appropriate to gift to a hostess u truly can make ur career in ANYTHING

Priority check in for indigo is …. 450 INR???? from LHR to BOM like ?? Are we joking why doesnt everyone just buy priority boarding

@bizlet7 Shes japanese

He just sees a thin Asian woman and thinks she looks like a supermodel whereas in China her Mom would call her ugly to her face. It’s not a big mystery.

@00yisan @bizlet7 I personally have nothing against this girl but if u know her she’s literally a founder girl boss who makes period products.They met at harvard, hes swiss and supports her girlbossing lol

@bizlet7 maybe he is tired of party girls and girl bosses. maybe he wants to settle down with a girl that looks up to him. maybe he figures shreking will net him a loyal girlfriend. at the end of the day its not our business, they are a fairly cute couple anyway.

First day at motion capture lab so excited to explore ar/vr

@VeniGupta5 @Zuko1107 Youd be very hard pressed to find a high school in india without these though

I thought social complications like bullying, status games, body shaming, cliques etc wouldn’t be a big fixture in these schools but turns out I was wrong. It is probably just the reality of growing up but I am on a quest to find a gurukul like set up one day, if not I will make one.

Man, I had mentally planned on sending my kids to Rishi Valley but having met a few KFI school kids recently I am reconsidering my decision. Turns out Krishnamurthy’s philosophies are not enough to shield a child from the messy realities of growing up. Huh, who would’ve thought 🫠

"take the disrespect lying down or you're a subhuman third worlder (even though my Indian SF friends are literally from there)" what the actual fuck?

@Fremond_ @ElaPassarelli +1 for quilon, my favourite restaurant in London!! Also one of the few that focuses on coastal indian. Ive celebrated two birthdays there❤️ Also colonel saab is a good shout

@ElaPassarelli Dishoom overrated. Try Hoppers instead. Also like Quillon.

tried gymkhana in london yesterday, one of the only indian restaurants to have michelin stars to be honest beautiful spot and i enjoyed it, and maybe it's because i'm half indian and my family cooks great food, but i didn't find it that amazing am i crazy?? also any better indian food recs in london (or new york) greatly appreciated♥️

@ElaPassarelli @0xkatienarain If u like meats - try the lamb at kachori in elephant & castle (also for a break from mayfair restaurants)

@0xkatienarain Omg this is so helpful, thank you so much xx

@ElaPassarelli @0xkatienarain Cinnamon kitchen is ok, cant in good fairh recommend the dining menus but the indian afternoon tea is very nice + the Taj in St James does a great indian afternoon tea

@ElaPassarelli @0xkatienarain Brigadiers is amazing, the guinea fowl reshmi kebab and gulab jamun creme brulee + masala cola are amazing. Benares is honestly very mid, im confused why they got a michelin but its a nice atmosphere

If ur Indian u 1000% can not pull off WASP-y prep and should throw out cable knits nor Sloane Ranger preppy (although the latter is slightly more within reach) best jumper style for brownies is merino wool and cashmere (not the recycled kind)

I’ve never seen a non-New England-WASP pull off a cable knit jumper,even a Sloane Ranger this side of the Atlantic can’t do it Conversely,Sloane Rangers are the only ones who can pull off mohair jumpers. To conclude, you have to be protestant for cable knit & anglican for mohair.

Some proof of concept ft Princess Di. Can you see this jumper in Connecticut ? (No) Can you see this picture recreated with her in cable knit? (No! No! No!) follow for more textile anthropology
