There was a time when certain jobs stood on a pedestal. People saluted them, trusted them, even feared them. And now? They’ve become memes, reels, and WhatsApp forwards — the modern equivalent of being declared a global joke. Let’s take a tour. 1. INFLUENCERS: From Experts to “Bro, Trust Me”...
Kerala loves wearing its literacy crown. We flaunt it in debates, social media bios, tourism campaigns, and political speeches. Highest literacy in India, they say — often with a smug smile, as if literacy automatically equals ethics, integrity, and intelligence. Then reality kicked down the door. In recent weeks, Kerala...
Narcissists don’t walk around with warning labels. If they did, half the world would be running, the other half would be filing for therapy reimbursement. They’re everywhere—homes, offices, friend circles, WhatsApp groups, even NGOs fighting “for the greater good.” And no, they’re not always loud or arrogant. Some are soft-spoken....

A billionaire oligarch played games while workers suffered. Vladimir Putin didn’t issue a statement. Didn’t set up a task force....
For years, Arnab Goswami was seen as the loudest shield of the Modi–BJP ecosystem on prime-time television. Mistakes were ignored, failures were reframed, and uncomfortable questions were redirected — usually towards the opposition, history, or imaginary enemies. If the government slipped, the studio lights somehow dimmed. Now suddenly, in the...
Why Corruption Is Finished in Some Places—and Comfortably Extended in India. By Nishani Corruption exists everywhere. What separates nations is not honesty—but how fearlessly they end the story. Some countries close corruption files with punishment. Others keep them open just long enough for power to rearrange itself. This is that...
Across urban India, a new category of couples is steadily growing: DINK — Dual Income, No Kids. These are financially independent partners who consciously choose to remain child-free, at least for now. Once rare and quietly judged, DINK couples are now visible, vocal, and unapologetic. Higher education, career mobility, rising...
