I believe balance is essential. Work, rest, family, friends, and time for oneself are not indulgences - they’re integral to both health and to the quality of work we create. The normalisation of 12-hour working days feels exploitative. It should be the exception, not the

The trolls arrive. And IDGAFF.
@mehtahansal Movies like bahubali and kalki needs such commitment. Prabhas does this and he reaps the reward. Without such extra commitment, movies like these would never be made. Movies are never a 9-5 job. Sometimes directors don't even sleep to give better product. Ask her to stop crying.

I talk about the industry I work in. What’s your point sir?
@mehtahansal @_pallavighosh Work life in every Industry is just as you narrated. The entertainment industry narrative gets traction because every evening, in India, being glued to cinema or TV is the way to unwind for even daily wagers. It doesn’t make a difference whether it’s an organised sector or, not!

In our line of work, a 12-hour day is politely called a “shift.” The truth is, between the chaos of shoots, the endless commute, hurried meals and barely a few hours of broken sleep, there’s little left of us. Where does our mental health or physical well-being fit into this

5 years to this origin story of where greed can take us. A sobering deconstruction of shortsightedness, self indulgence and social science. Scam 1992 is a case study in modern Indian entertainment. @pratikg80 @mehtahansal @nairsameer @SumitPurohit

@Geeky_Foodie @mehtahansal I'm a trainee doctor and I'd like to say most of us young upcoming practitioners don't just want to settle in Delhi Mumbai etc. I mean it's obviously great if someone is able to, but even if someone's not, then also we won't hv any qualms in settling in jaipur bhopal raipur

@mehtahansal if our small towns become like the American suburbs ( self contained, one big store, a hospital at a reasonable distance , very good schools ) many people will move. But our small towns are also overcrowded with people and poor infra ). Satellite towns are the answer

I would add education to that (and employment opportunities if one is not commuting).
For many Indians the choice to move away from our overburdened metros is not only feasible but increasingly attractive. Smaller towns offer quieter lives, lower costs and in many ways a better quality of living. The commute back to the city for work is manageable thanks to
