Thanda-thanda, cool-cool

Well, the most loved season is here- Winters! Yay! People simply love to dress up in those cute sweaters, and munch on the exclusive winter delicacies. Umm, let's talk about the EXCLUSIVES!!

  • Sun: Oh, the lifeline. My every winter day is passed feeling like Jadoo from 'Koi Mil Gaya'. And, on a bright sunny day, this world feels so happy and so beautiful. This is not it. Finally, our Vitamin-D deficient selves get some good dose in the season.

  • Snow: Chalo yar, Kasol jana hai. Well, every Delhiite is in Himachal right now and every Mumbaikar is in Maldives. The perennial never successful Goa plan become the Shimla-Manali plan in winters. People like me certainly find it too daring to go to the even colder climate right now. But, well, if you don't have Siddharth Malhotra to your Shraddha Kapoor, there is no point being the lazy self you always are. Awaken your inner Naina. Pack your bags and just trek.

  • Moongfali and Gajjak: Munch in the morning, munch after the luch, munch before the bed. Munch, Munch, Munch. A winter day passed without peanuts is supposed to be a sin. Aisa Shaastro mein likha hua hai par maine whatsapp par padha tha. :P

  • Shakkar wala doodh: Summer nights are all about Mango Shakes but, in winters, a glass of warm milk sweetened with Jaggery powder feels like heaven. Moreover, it's so good for a goodnight's sleep and proper digestion. Your gut will thank you. The real slim Desi please stand up and have some milk.

  • Cute outfits: Those fanatstic furs, handsome--- hoodies, cute cardigans, beautiful boots. You can easily spot a Diva in no-distress around you. These Diwali, Christmas, Year-end sale just make winters very much wow.

  • The wedding saga: Yummiest Paneer Tikka, tastiest Moong-dal Halwa, rabdi-jalebi and ending it all with a hot coffee. And, where else do you see young women braving Delhi-ki-sardi in just Lehengas and making you feel as if you two were in two different time zones despite being in the same 100sq m area. Corona did make our going to a wedding chance very minimal, but the silver-lining is that no one is going to zoom in at your plate while you stand awkwardly. :D

Well, Enjoy the season to the fullest but not without the precautions. Do not remove the mask and sanitise before touching anything. Also, please, reach out to the less privileged ones and help them survive the toughest nights. Nothing will make you feel happier. Happy Thandi! ;)

"दुनिया मेहनत कर रही है अगुआ होने के लिए और भारत में लोग मर रहे हैं पिछड़ा होने के लिए" आदरणीय निर्णायक मंडल। * के सभागार में उपस्थित श्रोता गण। आप सभी को मेरा नमस्कार। मैं * हिंदी पखवाड़े के उपलक्ष्य में आयोजित वाद विवाद के विषय "क्या समाज के सर्वांगीण विकास में महिला आरक्षण क्रांतिकारी कदम है" के विरोध में अपना पक्ष प्रस्तुत करने के लिए उपस्थित हूं। विगत सप्ताह हम सभी के घर में बप्पा आए, साथ ही मिला लोकतंत्र के मंदिर को एक नया ठिकाना और वहां पारित किए जाने वाला पहला प्रस्ताव बना नारी शक्ति वंदन अधिनियम- २०२३। इस विधेयक में महिलाओं को लोकसभा और विधान सभाओं में ३३ प्रतिशत आरक्षण देने की बात की गई है। यह कोई पहला अवसर नहीं जब महिला आरक्षण के हक में संविधान में संशोधन किया जाएगा। तकरीबन ३० वर्ष पहले सन् १९९२ में ७३वें व ७४वें संशोधन विधेयक द्वारा पंचायती राज संस्थानों एवं शहरी स्थानीय निकायों में महिलाओं को ३३% आरक्षण दिया गया। किंतु विडंबना देखिए। इसी ऐतिहासिक संशोधन की वर्षगांठ मनाते हुए २४ अप्रैल २०१५ को माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी को देश से आह्वान करना प...

Dear SSR, we miss you!

It was 2013. I was reading Femina in the college library because the cover featured 3 of my favorite actors. I still remember the magazine cover clearly. All dressed up in denims, sitting on the car hood- Aditya Roy Kapoor, the handsome man, Arjun Kapoor, for some strange reason, I liked him then, and Sushant Singh Rajput, the one with the best smile. Yes, the cheerful smile.  A few years later, I happened to follow him on Instagram. I don't follow many Bollywood celebs but his feed was different. Not to mention that his smile is a reason enough to follow him there. I was impressed with his bucket-list. Full of scientific, adventurous and philanthropic goals. His poetry. And mention of Shiv Shambhu in almost every post. Not to forget how he used to donate to fundraisers and keep their link in his bio. Which other celeb does that? I waited so eagerly for the release of Sonchiriya. Look at the cast, who won't be? It received very nice reviews. Sadly, it was shown on too few scre...

Paid Housework

Assembly elections are due in Tamil Nadu and Makkal Needhi Maiam, the political party led by superstar of South Kamal Haasan, has made an election promise to pay the women for their work at home. This has also been endorsed by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. Well, for MNM, this might be a move to attract one of the largest voter bases, i.e. Women but is it actually feasible? (Source: www.sheroes.com) First of all, salaries are for workers who actually contribute to our GDP, where is the home-maker's role? Well, homemakers do not directly build a product or provide chargeable services to others. But, they do provide services to the earning members of the family for free, which results into having a good enough lifestyle at much cheaper rates. This means industries can keep them happy in lower salaries too and invest the saved capital in contributing more to GDP. So, there do exist indirect benefits for the economy. But, how does one measure and value the household work? For example, a w...
