between this and Jindal suspending students over a political magazine, the bubble of these private universities as “haven of independent academic work” really is bursting
Ashoka University is dismayed by the speculation and debate around a recent paper by one of its faculty members (Sabyasachi Das, Assistant Professor of Economics) and the university's position on its contents.
As a matter of record, Ashoka University is focused on excellence in
stuck at bandra stn with no auto picking me and 2 men stopped theirs so i could get in (“ladki ko raste me akela thodi chodhte”/cant leave girl stranded on the road) and went on to pay for my trip bcs i didn’t have cash on me. if bombay’s fast & tiring, it’s also filled with love
i find those “bombay clothes are so basic! delhi people wear this for night suit” comments funny because i worked at an art gallery in colaba for 2 months and the amount of high-fashion & luxury fits i saw everyday was crazy. delhi felt like sarojini and cheap sequins after that.
i went to the dean of the journalism school at my uni for guidance because i was applying for masters in journalism, and he straight up told me to not do it & find an alternate career because journalism is as good as dead in this country… so yeah
@dogandcat4321
yeah they were saying “we didn’t study for so many yrs to work for free” but the govt was like “ur not working for free we will pay u” so they were like “no this still reduces the importance of our work” lol
the worst part of adulthood is straight up this transition period where u actually realise what life is going to be like. i will never come back to a lively dorm, i will be working for some time until i start working full time, i can’t fall back on friends like i used to
had to listen to law students talk about how “the judgement was fair” and “india doesn’t need all that” at 8 in the morning… i’m sure this country is going in the right direction 🙏🏼
classmate was telling me about this famous chambers that only hires male interns because the boss had an affair and now his wife won’t let him hire women
it awakened this deep materialism within me and i quit the idea of working in the art industry after that lmao, all i wanted was a corporate job to live the lives of those women i saw there everyday
a regular coke that’s like ₹40 in the real world was being sold for 420 in this theatre (not even one of the best ones in mumbai),,, like at this point i’m convinced cinemas are just a social experiment to see how much a normal man can be ridiculed
can’t imagine any other metro city where people would take time out of their work day to be nice to a stranger despite the horrible frustrating weather
“it is really really easy to be pompous when you’ve never been emotionally vulnerable yourself” is an all-timer line and i’m gonna quote this everywhere
turns out i’m gonna be a part of the inaugural cohort of
@zenithcoop
writing program?? so beyond excited to learn from this INCREDIBLE group of writers <33
Not a perfect city, has its own share of issues but Some key takeaways from Ahmedabad which
@mybmc
can consider implementing:
-Wide (“Mostly” Hawker free) Footpaths
-Well marked Roads
-Dustbins
-Bollards at junctions
Super wide roads is only a dream for Mumbai so no point asking
Brian Cox says the Bible is 'one of the worst books ever'
“The propaganda goes right the way back ... it starts with the idea that … out of Adam’s rib, this woman was created, and they’ll believe it cause they’re stupid … They need it, but they don’t need to be told lies, they
Rajasthani cuisine is basically slathering everything in oil and ghee, and then eating it with dal and lasan ki chatni.
The least sophisticated cuisine with no pretensions of taste.
all these concepts of ‘walkable cities’ and good public transit always being associated with boring academics/city planners/policy ppl is soo sad because the # 1 beneficiary of it is actually the alcoholic with no responsibilities
people look down at me for making bad economical decisions constantly but actually going through ur 20s consistently broke is a conscious choice ! its all me
my sis was really crying begging her manager to let her “speak up” only to say trump sucks when every celebrity and late night host was already saying that 😭
remember when Taylor Swift said she wanted to be in the right side of history like the Dixie Chicks were when they opposed the Iraq war? And then Taylor went: “I’m brave. So i’m telling you to Vote Blue!”.
what i love about jee/neet kids is that they’ll be absolutely dragged through the mud forced to give up on their childhood to fight for a few seats and instead of thinking “hey maybe if the govt built better infrastructure this wouldn’t be so bad” they want to own everyone else
few months ago, aunties from my colony asked me to “stop feeding stray dogs bcs then they will get used to it”. Yest three dudes w knives were caught in the colony bcs of the dogs barking and now the committee has decided to just keep extra money aside to feed dogs everyday lol
days at home are so relaxing. i go to my friends houses and it doesn’t take an hour to reach. i do work and watch grey’s anatomy in between. i don’t have to worry about grocery shopping.
you are not unique and i’m tired of men of this type pretending they’re soooo funny and their humour is “under appreciated”…. i met MUN boys funnier than u when i was 16
for a group that seems to hate “snowflakes” and “people who get offended easily”, rw-ers do seem to be making insane reaches to quench their indignity lol… worrying about the “dignity of female students” just because someone brought up a dating app
It is disheartening to witness the distressing situation within
@JindalGlobalUNI
. The compromise of privacy and dignity of students, especially female students, by the use of a dating app and obscene material by a faculty amounts to harassment. I'm appalled by such actions.
have you ever eaten a sandwich that was so good it changed your life? a sandwich that you dream about to this day? describe it to me please I am looking for inspiration
indian uncles will be 50 with a crumbling body, five different diseases, 10 medicines a day and still have the audacity to lecture you about what to eat and how to live healthily like them
I went to Oxford for grad school post Ashoka and chose to come back and revive our heritage tea garden in Darjeeling.
All because the Ashoka Education/Professors instilled a sense of curiosity, responsibility & moral compass. This “western focused” education argument is bogus.
adulting is realising how expensive butter is. the day you think “wait why is butter so expensive? why did i never know this” is when u become an adult
if you 🫵🏼 are a real hustler 🤑 looking to build some passive income 😴
just watch hindi news channels all day, write down every false claim and equivalence they make, and keep suing their asses and taking them to courts over defamation 👍🏼
one thing abt my ex- he had a great personality. like he was smart (is in iit kharagpur rn), politically correct, FUNNY, pretty fkn amazing at sex, and also very easy on the eyes. so if i could pull THAT, what am i even doing running behind losers w absolutely no personality😭👎
unrelated to me entering the work-force in 2-3 years but i think the government should pass a new law, in the next 2-3 years, that makes hybrid work compulsory and 5-day work week illegal
Today 3/10/23 at 9.45 am. See the rush to enter Ghatkopar Metro. This is every day story . Tremendous pressure on the transportation infrastructure of Mumbai. Local trains are crowded, metro’s are packed, traffic jam everywhere.

Unpopular opinion but all military industrial complex films have shit politics. The fact that YRF Spy universe makes the Hindu martial caste hero woo the Pakistani Muslim ‘other’ heroine is also loaded with nationalist imagery, just that this brand is more palatable to liberals.
Gen Z will never know the joy of true flirtatious banter!
Back in the day, at my physics tuition, a tall boy with curly hair would leave a chocolate bar and a red rose every single day on my chair.
One day as he stared at me after class, I asked him “kya iraday hain aap ke?”
Everyone should visit Coffeetales in HSR, Bangalore. What a peaceful place to do focused work. The owner is pretty nice, you'll love having a nice chat with him. Last night me, my friend and the owner chatted for almost 1-1.5hrs over loneliness in blr, I left around 1:30 am.
all of u saying this is cheap compared to other cities like you know u can get affordable food in bombay too right??? if ur not going to bandra cafes???
Kolkata is probably the only tier-1 city where you can eat three times meal in just 100 Rs.
Breakfast:- 4 puris (16 Rs. + Sabzi free)
Lunch:- 10 Rs. rice + 45 Rs. Bhuna Gosht
Dinner:- 3 Rotis (9 Rs.) + Bhindi-Aloo Sabzi (20 Rs.)
These are the real rates in my locality🙃
a muslim actor whose family has been hounded by the media and the govt doesn’t owe anyone online any type of activism. and nobody would expect it from an actor had caravan not written that fuckass piece.
i was getting ready and then i thought “wait i’m taking a taxi anyway might as well wear what i want” and got the smallest tinge of joy… now could u men ever feel the same way ? check mate
you can see the social media shift because people really are taking a few lyrics to construe something that paints her as a horrible person. a few months ago everyone was a 'girls girl loves taylor swift need eras tour tickets'... u guys don't have opinions lol grow up
calling out Joe's depression like that was a low blow. disrespectful asf.
she only cared about getting married while he was struggling with his mental health.
and then swifties get mad at me when I say that she's extremely immature for a 34yo lol
