Let’s be clear about something that society likes to dance around:
When a teenager develops a crush on you, it is not a compliment to your status, your looks, or your "game." It is a test of your integrity, one that far too many adults are failing.
That child is not looking for a partner; they are looking for validation, often mimicking what they see on screens, completely unaware of the power dynamics they are walking into. They are naive, but you are not.
Your job as the adult in the room isn’t to "play along" because it strokes your ego or use the loophole of "well, they made the first move." Your moral obligation is to be the hard boundary that they don’t have the wisdom to set for themselves yet.
Treat them like a younger sibling. Ignore the advances. Shut it down. Because 10 years from now, when the confusion of puberty fades, that person will look back at you.
Do you want them to remember a safe adult who protected them from their own foolishness? Or do you want to be the villain in their therapy session who took advantage of a child who didn’t know any better?

Well I do have a theory here.
And I’ve said this before too - that I wonder why, if you have $5M~$10M money, would you not buy property in any of the top 10 cities of the world (and get a free golden visa with it) instead of a 500 AQI shithole like Gurgaon.
It is because being in India has a specific type of alpha for you. And at that wealth level the only thing India provides that the rest of world, esp first world cities, doesn’t is the ability to be corrupt or fraudulent with extremely low risk of ever being held accountable.
Everyone giving their Gyaan on how Camelia, Dahalias etc are hub of chors, frauds etc. Bhai, you are only saying this bcz you are not wealthy enough to be part of this cream layer.
If you are living in say Godrej, Prestige or Amrapali, the person living across the street in 40 gaj house considers you the same.
Just bcz there are frauds in the system, does not mean the whole system is fraud. Stop judging people who have earned legitimate money.
Makemytrip, Pinelabs, Cars24, Lenskart etc who have built great companies also live in Camalias.
So instead of criticising the entire system, be the one who earns crores of Rs & then people will give your examples.

I just saw a Straight Pride Parade passing by my place. They made a guy sit on a horse and danced around him while throwing currency notes. There was a marching band playing and some ppl were firing guns in the air.
I'm not heterophobic but shouldn't they keep it in the bedroom?

Irony!
In Delhi, a delivery boy felt bad that a customer ordered chicken on Diwali. However, he isn’t upset about being underpaid for his work, the lack of proper holidays, or the absence of labor law protections.
As Chomsky rightly said, even what people think is decided by the wealthy.

This happens to every Indian every day. And then every Indian goes around inflicting the same on whosoever he can. This is India. What amuses me no end is that there are empty suits who think India is the next China.

Being a woman is kind of like being a cyclist in a city where all the cars represent men. You're supposed to be able to share the road equally with cars, but that's not how it works. The roads are built for cars and you spend a great deal of physical and mental energy being defensive and trying not to get hurt. Some of the cars want you to get hurt. They think you don't have any place on the road at all. And if you do get hurt by a car, everyone makes excuses that it's your fault.

The purpose of life of an Indian is to escape India, it can either be done by leaving India physically or figuratively by shifting to a gated community. Once the Indian escapes India, India becomes the best country in the world & requires no improvement.

Sexual violence in India is deeply under reported, by Indian women.
Cos we know that the first reaction from our family will be to take our freedom away.
Leave that job/that college/that tuition/that park/that train/that flight, & stay home.
Our freedom sits atop our silence

If you think criticising Modi is hard in front of 40+ uncles, try calling Qala a mediocre film when drinking with Gen-Z.
Try it.
