Don’t Use a White Man’s Morality Compass to Define Indian Men

Life is sexually damn simple for Western men. Porn at 13. Sex by 15. Multiple partners by 18. Cohabiting by 20. Break up, move on, repeat. If dating fails, they walk into a brothel or call a number from a magazine. No cops, no cheating, no shame—just business. Now look at Indian men. Forget theContinue reading “Don’t Use a White Man’s Morality Compass to Define Indian Men”

The Selective Virtue of Feeding

In India, people often consider it a virtue to feed stray dogs with dry chapatis or pigeons with yesterday’s rice. It is preached as charity, compassion, and even religion. But one question remains unanswered: if feeding stale food to dogs is virtue, then why isn’t feeding goat and beef meat to lions and tigers alsoContinue reading “The Selective Virtue of Feeding”

The Intimidation of Not Fitting In

I sometimes doubt myself — am I intimidating? We recently stayed at a hotel, chosen by my wife after sieving through 50 options. Her reason was practical — it was the only one offering complimentary breakfast.

Let’s begin with a paradox wrapped in irony and served hot with a side of denial: Nearly 40% of expats in the UAE are Indians. Yes, UAE — a Muslim-majority, Sharia-practicing, monarchy-led country. And what do theseContinue reading “Why 40% Indians in UAE Feel Safe Among Muslims, But Not Among 15% Back Home?”

Aamir Khan, Bangkok, and the Hypocrisy Olympics

Publicly humiliating someone has always been a favourite pastime of the petty. It’s an age-old sport played by people with empty lives and loud opinions. And right now, India’s national issue seems to be Aamir Khan—60 years old, successful, intelligent—having a partner half his age. That’s the crisis. Not unemployment. Not inflation. Not the stateContinue reading “Aamir Khan, Bangkok, and the Hypocrisy Olympics”

Modi, Trump, and Me: A Survivor’s Tale

If I am alive today—and I say this with all due reverence—it is thanks to two extraordinary men. Not my parents, not my doctor, not the scientists, not the gods, but two towering figures of the 21st century: Mr. Narendra Modi and Mr. Donald J. Trump. Let’s start with Mr. Modi. During the great COVID-19 apocalypse, when theContinue reading “Modi, Trump, and Me: A Survivor’s Tale”
