People think I’m poor because I live in a 40 year old house with cracked walls that I can’t change. For some people, I’m poor, to me, someone else is poor. We are all poor to someone who is more privileged than us.

Her (lifeofpujaa)content is a perfect example of how poverty porn is sold in India and how people love consuming it.

@MaginAbheet May I ask you (and honestly, you don't have to answer), how do you manage your time and do all these tasks effectively?

@nathanbaugh27 The second one, please! Far more interesting and makes it feel like a work of art rather than the bestseller-of-the-week. My one request to you is, don't include the image of a pendulum on a book cover titled, The Pendulum Swings.

@shilparathnam "Straws don't matter to a broken camel's back." is such a perfectly phrased line, honestly, and so apt, for this era we live in, unfortunately

@NakuulMehta I read this in your voice!!! It's so beautifully written, and wishing you the happiest day and year ahead because honestly I can't think of many people who deserve it more! 💛

Birthdays make me feel like an imposter. I watch myself from the outside being the guy who is trying to find a semblance of calm in the raging cacophony of some really beautiful things.. like your generous wishes, that special message, phone ringing incessantly, AD calling 'shot ready', flowers, material presents, having to make lunch choices, friends & good folks in general wanting to share love and mostly valorising you for being just about a decent bloke.
In a world of attention deficit, this one day can feel a bit overwhelming. Cause I inherently gravitate towards grounding myself in a routine. And Birthdays are antithesis of that.
In routine I thrive. The ones I have build with mindful consideration of a Guggenheim curator over a decent time, having run them through my own improvised mental models and permutation & combination of what soothes the heart and brings joy home. And mostly leaving just about enough room for serendipity.
Like who’d have imagined I’d start my day with equal doses of John Denver, Talha Anjum and steroids for the vocal chords which refuse to fire on a day, 200 other people on my set need it. I need it. But then again I asked for serendipity! Not complaining. Mostly grateful. And the other 2 percent is insanely HOPEful. For the copious amounts of love which i am fortunate to receive. Also, slightly anxious on how will i ever return those calls, messages, tweets and stories. How will i show up for all these wonderful folks in the cosmos! And what even is the protocol for returning wishes? How do you prioritise one over the other. Age doesn’t give you wisdom. It makes you a wreck.
Jeez I could be the poster boy for how to un romanticise birthdays but I promise you deep inside of my overwhelmed heart & vocal chords is a boy who would be happy with just his Ma cooking him rajma chawal & boondi ka raita for birthday lunch but today he gets to live a far more expansive life than his unfettered mind could ever fathom. I feel blue deeper than indigo. Ali Sethi plays the BG of my life on certain days. A well made Cortado is all my restless my mind craves and home is where I gravitate towards. Long post short, Thank you for adopting me in your universe ❤️
