Move over 8 Sleep. Welcome 18 Sleep: 🎱 In Sept, I did a 24-day sprint of Danceworks. 1.5 hrs minimum dance training and task based focused work sprints daily. 🪩💻 This Oct and Nov, till Diwali... I shall do an 18-day sprint of Sleep. My world will revolve a fixed sleep routine, schedule, Bryan Johnson hacks, InsightTimer hacks, whatever's worked for me in the past (except friends-with-bioregulation-benefits which doesn't seem to be on my cards. alas :p) 💤 I'll be the best sleepyhead and napper for 18 days. The time apart from that will go to Appa (on weekdays), family, exercise, book reading and friends... in that order. 🎶📝

Monday wisdom from the princess of friend-zoning people she kinda sorta loves: It's easy to be good friends, only friends, with people you don't have romantic or sexual attraction for. The real test is when you DO.

I'm not listening to, "...but I need to go to the temple or do my evening prayers or visit the church or do my namaz" when I'm asking for sex or food or water or listening to my monologues, you know. It is what it is. Ya, go do your rituals around important, unseen, lack-of-evidence entities when I'm busy doing my work because as they say, work is worship. Ya fine, occasional family rituals around festivals and important occasions is an important part of community and family life. I've never needed an omniscient, omnipresent entity to realise that. My parents and extended family asked, cajoled, hounded me to participate in all that, and I love them for it. 💭

I need to love an atheist because I can't have a guy who puts God above me or the kids or our family. I am often needy like that, which means my kids will be as well, and guess who I got that from? My family. 😶‍🌫️💀

I don't go to therapy. I go to top Indian psychologists who charge me INR 12000 per session (once in 6 months) and INR 4000 per session (once in 2 weeks or 3 weeks or once a month depending on how much mentally off I feel) per session respectively... ...instead of paying CXO coaches or Habit coaches or Leadership coaches or Brain coaches who'd charge me at least a 10X of that. I also learn psychology, revenue-making, marketing and social media tips and tricks from them that I then convert to product insights at @AppaClub

This tweet is a founder and CEO advice btw. I got to do what I got to do. Signed up for it by promising myself I'll stick to it for a decade, didn't I? 🪼🦉

When you're having a terrible day but you're a niche macro-influential Twitter poaster so you gotta pull up and tweet coal for your loyal followers.

Nothing like an impromptu 30 min venting, voice-raising-due-to-anger and crying session with your sister on a Monday evening because she decided to come home early from work to rest and help me out with some household chores and maintenance tasks. No, it wasn't directed at her. She was being a great listener, hugger, and over-all supportive, loving, indignant-on-my-behalf sister. 🫂 Yes, this is the last good, nice, praiseworthy, endearing post I make on her. If you see me do this again, please remind me to fix my brain and heart because it's clearly not working well. 🙅🏻‍♀️😤🙄

I mean c'mon. I'm going to treat you like I do my friends, spending time together, having fun, making plans, being silly, talking anything and everything under the sun, crying and weeping through tough conversations. I'm going to bully you and love you and creep you out and protect you and fight you all animal-like or even rage at you or break down crying in equal measure like I do with my siblings. Well, yes, I'll be romantic too half the times. Yes, I'll be hot and sexy too. Fineee. I thinkkkk, that's what it takes to be a wife.

"How do I know if you showed romantic interest?" "You asked outright. I told you. Or I flirted regularly and simped shamelessly. Or I entertained your DMs consistently."

If you can't handle me at my friend-zone and bro-zone, you can't handle me at my lover-zone. Yes. Ofc. Goes without saying, definitely can't handle me at my wife-zone* *TnC apply. If I ever showed romantic interest in you ofc.

Them: you sound a tad unhinged and too emotional. it also seems you are relying too much on your gut feeling instead of talking to your lover about it Me: listen, you complete (loving) idiots. for me, feelings are facts. if i am hurt, i am hurt. if i am wary, i have good reason. if i am angry, i am angry. if i am unable to trust, the guy has done something to break my trust. and OFCOURSE i rely on my gut feelings, that organ fine-tuned over millennia by biology... over a man's words. ofcourse i rely on my intuition, that subconscious part of my brain that has processed tons of data before my conscious part can catch up... over trusting a man, someone who's not me. conversations will come later. after my feelings, my gut and my intuition tell me it's time to have them.

Meeee and my forever history of crashing out, whipping out my singledom card, and immediately acting like it, the moment I catch the whiff of a lover treating me like an option. You want another woman? Go for her. Get tf out of my life. Immediately. 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼

Sometimes, when unreasonable, moral policing, irritating neighbours direct their irritation towards me in the form of an undeserved monologue, I've found the best way to react is just agree all the way through and not defend a single incorrect thing levied at me. The monologue does get over fast, the neighbour gets surprised and disappointed by getting no dramatic response, said neighbour even goes away nodding to herself on a job well done while i get to air my irritation at twitter dot com.

I quite like this shade of purple for informational msgs. Was reminded of it while glancing through the right navigation bar to see if the order of the items in it needs to change. Felt happy.🪻 (Yes, it's temporary till we finish wiring the gifting a subscription page)

Gn fam. Before I go, just wanted to say we're ALL legit cooked and there's no going back to the world that was and this is just the tip of the iceberg. 🧊💀☠️ Made with higgsfieldgenjutsu per the creator's caption. I watched it at least 10 times 🔁

Why do you think my pinned post looks like that 😭😭📌
