Ah, this is lovely :) I think I shall do a daily post, one favourite female character a day. Ladies I’d have loved to meet. :) I’ll start with Paks :) Paksenarrion, the daughter of a sheep farmer. She wanted to be a soldier and ran away from home to join a mercenary company.

@jogakhichudi This is so beautiful :)))

RT @Chai_Angelic: शिव की बनी रहे आप पर छाया, पलट दे जो आपकी किस्मत की काया . Om Namah Shivaya 🙏🚩

@karanological Yes. Also, add an absence of constant spectacle by the govt and a smoother daily routine, and people would start appreciating peace. Everyone has been revved up for nearly 12 yrs now, and I suspect the city needs to unwind instead of being told that everyone is out to get them.

@karanological I think that wish list gives me a description - a sensible mind, a task oriented approach, self confidence enough to work with all the power centres they will need to work with.

@karanological doing their job. I want the city to look like someone cares more about this place than about using its misery to score political points.

@amogh_astra @shanteehee Nah, I like my brain calm :)

@amogh_astra @shanteehee That is an evocative image

@karanological Pah That is a long time away!

@DrPyaricetamoI 😂

@kingofknowwhere @kamleshksingh No, we don’t need more people to be vulgar. People may choose vulgarity, they have that right, but it is not a need. It is a choice, a lowest common denominator kind of choice. Is not a sign of intellect, or progress. Au contraire, it is an exhibition of intellectual poverty.

@anwesh_satpathy @nayanikaaa There are FIRs, yes. But the CM’s statement was much more nuanced. He said: FoE good, can’t be used to encroach on someone else’s FoE, we have laws about public immorality, if any of them have been breached action should be taken. It is a beautifully noncommittal extempo comment

@kamleshksingh It is the kind of situation where one hopes that for the next couple of years, his parents, friends, and gf roz verbal joote maarein. No 31 yr old should have considered that an appropriate thing to say. Self regulation aa jayegi 2-3 saal mein.

@FranciumKarna @raggedtag @divya_16_ Koi toh juta marega….mom, dad, girlfriend Hopefully

@raggedtag @divya_16_ I wish they had all stood up at that point. They did the polite laugh, joking remonstration thing and normalised the kind of degeneracy that people should be ashamed to link themselves to.

@nayanikaaa She is doing total justice to the phrase “if a picture paints a thousand words…” these days.

@TheStellarish That was a fair assumption. It is just that I was not thinking of the planet but of that Shiva Bhakta Bhargava. :)

@raggedtag @divya_16_ Poor you I have just about unseen it by now. I refuse to give space to such rot inside my head.
