The great enemy of plain language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one is real and one is declared aims, one turns instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms. ~George Orwell Listen carefully to first criticisms of your work.

That is the part of your work that's individual and worth keeping. -Jean Cocteau     ~Highly Recommended~ Munnu: A Boy from Kashmir  - Malik Sajad Hatred in the Belly: Politics Behind the Appropriation of Dr. Ambedkar's Writings Ambedkar Age Collective ~Worth a Look~ Let's Talk Money - Monika Halan Jaya -  Devdutt Pattanaik Bhutan: The Kingdom at the Centre of the World - Omair Ahmad Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action - Simon Sinek Topi Shukla  - Rahi Masoom Raza Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't - J im Collins अरे यायावर रहेगा याद? -  अज्ञेय,सच्चिदानंदा हीरानंद ~Pleasur...

  1. There’s a moment every era hits—quietly at first—when morality stops being a compass and becomes a costume. When the point is no longer to be right, but to look right. And that moment is here. You can feel it in the air: the way people speak in rehearsed phrases, the way outrage arrives pre-packaged, the way nuance gets treated like betrayal. We tell ourselves we are more aware than ever—more informed, more empathetic, more “on the right side.” But the truth is uglier: Everyone’s agreeable. No one’s honest. 2. Victimhood as Currency: “ Then your perceived victimhood or group identity is the currency than everyone will go towards that .” That line hits because it describes a social reality: we’ve created a world where the fastest path to moral power is not wisdom, courage, or competence—but claiming harm. If the system rewards vulnerability, don’t be surprised when vulnerability becomes a strategy. A culture that applauds grievance will eventually industrialize it. And it has....

Pankaj Sikka— an LA-based IT entrepreneur who wrote under the pseudonym “ Oz ”—started PassionForCinema.com (PFC) at a time when blogging was still relatively unknown in the Indian movie industry, and the site quickly grew from a founder-led initiative into a much larger, constantly active online cinema community. Contemporary reporting described PFC as an online group where geography felt meaningless and the “chemistry” came from a potent mix of cinema obsession and industry talk, with participation spanning India and NRIs across time zones and the site humming with activity round the clock.  PFC was not just a movie review site. It was an open space where people could freely share opinions, argue, and discuss films. PFC gave film fans a place to talk seriously about movies, and for many people it helped them get more deeply interested in filmmaking and film culture.  Filmmakers and film personalities use the platform to talk up their work or spark discussion around it: Shiva...

सूचना: तीन ताल पॉडकास्ट से इंस्पायर्ड और  नॉस्टैल्जिक  होकर मैं 90s को लिख रहा हूं। 90s नॉस्टैल्जिया: एंटीना, केबल और एक पूरा बचपन नामक ब्लॉग पोस्ट पहले भी लिखा है और आगे भी ९० के दशक ( अपने बचपन) को  कलमबद्ध करने का इरादा है | *90s की यादों में और डूबना है, तो यहाँ और नॉस्टैल्जिया पोस्ट्स पढ़ें। 90 के दशक की हिंदी कॉमिक्स बच्चों और किशोरों की पढ़ाई-लिखाई के साथ-साथ उनकी कल्पनाशील दुनिया का अहम हिस्सा थीं।  यह याद आता है कि कोई दोस्त कॉमिक्स पढ़ने के लिए दे देता है, लेकिन स्कूल बैग से कॉमिक्स चुरा ली जाती हैं; जब मुझको और दोस्त को इस बात का पता चला, तो दोनों आहत होकर रो पड़े। राज, डायमंड, तुलसी, मनोज और इंद्रजाल जैसे ब्रांडों ने सैकड़ों चरित्रों की परिघणा खड़ी की — सुपरपावर, जासूसी, जादू, लोककथात्मक तत्व और नैतिकता से जुड़े बेहतरीन मिश्रण के साथ। इन कॉमिक्स ने न केवल मनोरंजन दिया बल्कि पाठक समुदायों में साझा संस्कृति, किराये पर किताबों की परंपरा और लोककथाओं के नये रूपों को भी जन्म दिया। इस लेख में मैं उन प्रमुख ब्रांड्स, मुख्य पात्रों, विषय-रुझानों और सामाजिक प्रभावो...
