That’s me at 47, free and unfiltered. Do we have the courage to be seen as we are? I did not when I was younger. Not everyone will recognize you, but love your skin and the stories it tells, your experiences, your essence and the world will reflect back your radiance.

You’re right. I’m old. Older than time, my boy. Perhaps you will never grow up in your mind but your body will and it’s a blessing to be wise, a cancer survivor and living my best life at 46. Unshakeably secure and happy in my spirit and body. Hope you can experience that one day

Kolkata, city of my father and half of my lineage, today. I saw someone holding a placard that said: ‘My parents are from two religions, I’m a child of the constitution’ and that indeed is what I am. I’ve never been asked my religion in any country or to justify my identity. 🙏🏼

My father was born in 1933, in undivided India. He has no birth certificate. My grandfather was a judge who was transferred every 3 years to another district in what today is known as Bangladesh. They returned to Kolkata August 15, 1947. Under NRC how would they prove citizenship

Am I a fan of SRK? Yes. Since the early 90s (when I came across this young Delhi boy in person) Have I seen Pathaan? Nope. Will I? Maybe, maybe not. But the fact that most of India is flooding the theatres carries a meaning that goes beyond box office returns. Meaning? Up to you.

Don’t forget the real agenda here. And remember: you might think you are safe. But fascists and authoritarian figures only care about themselves and absolute power. They will come for you- including Hindus, because there is no one way to practise Hinduism - and make you conform

What’s so interesting about the India of today is the amount of vitriol and hate spewed on social media towards anyone who disagrees with the current government’s policies. Never happened before. Cannot but link a culture of hate and paranoia with the government of today.

So I’m 48 today, it’s also a magical 4/4/4 day in numerology and I believe in the power of our planet to regenerate. Also: the introvert in me loves there are no parties or over enthusiastic plans. Why celebrate a single day? I’m grateful for every moment: a teaching in disguise

What is happening today across India is unacceptable. This is no longer about a bill, but the erosion of democratic rights to raise your voice, to peacefully protest and dissent. Wake up. This is not about beliefs, religion or safeguarding your interests: it’s about power.

An organized private army is an ominous sign in any nation and a threat to its autonomy and democracy.
This is a RSS march from Telangana.
They are mobilizing.
RSS is the ideological child of the SS
They are Nazi’s in Khaki uniform

Social isolation and solitude has not altered my mood. I welcome it. I know, I’m a freak. But I just cannot understand people who are complaining of boredom when it’s a minor price to pay for stopping the spread of a pandemic. Perspective people.

10 THINGS TIME HAS TAUGHT ME.

2. You really, truly cannot please all of the people all of the time. Please yourself first and your loved…

Everyone is handed adversity in life.
No one's journey is easy.
It's how you react that makes people unique...how can you endure cancer and draw from it healing? This is the question no one else can answer but yourself.

This is Ginni.
She was a woman in her past life.
Ginni used to cook for her husband while she was menstruating.
Once she cooked her husband and ate him as well.
Now Ginni is born as Kutri and enjoying her life at fullest.
Be like Ginni.

Love is a state of being. This idea of falling in and out of it is a huge deception fed to us. That’s just desire and craving. Be love, love yourself and love will also find and follow you- whether in partners or in life 🙏🏼

Deepika Padukone has not only reached JNU amid protests and standing with the students, but she's chosen to stand right behind injured JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh against whom an FIR was filed earlier today. This is a rare act of solidarity which I hope inspires many others now.

The older woman's love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover's eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grass blade and blesses every fly.
