    Ep 46. The End of the AAP Era

    AAP didnt just lose the Delhi elections-- it also brought to close an era (which began in the mid 2000s) where liberal elite savarns had a fantasy that they could politically & economically bring India to greatness. Well that dream is over. Swades, that fantasy of the educated savarnas that they could fix India IF they applied themselves & got hands dirty-- typified most by none other than Kejriwal-- that fantasy also died with the election results. Welcome to the end baby!

    Ep 43. New Year, New India- Grow up or Go Crazy

    Oi happy new year babies, only 2 ways out from here-- grow up OR go crazy. There is no other way out of here, we cannot keep pretending things are great-- everything is falling apart. We cannot keep pretending Vir Das is talented/hot/funny. We cannot. We must not. High time children! Grow up OR grow crazier. Lean into the dark side. Be demented, be unhinged. Be interesting. Don't be like Vir Das.

    Ep 42. End of the Soft (savarna) Elite Era

    For the first time in 25 years, Indian urban (savarna) elites are no longer relevant to the discourse in politics, economy, society and culture. From woke hipsters to hustle tech bros-- all soft elites are now irrelevant.

    Ep 41. Sad, Singles, Savarna Diwali

    It's that beautiful time of the year when sad, single, savarna millennials will get together for the 'Diwali Party' while savarna gen Z monsters will take a break from demanding action & accountability to return home from Sonepat colleges to take selfies in ethnic wear with their bigoted, fascist-minded parents ~and all this playing out to the tune of 'Chaiyaa Chaiyaa' in the background. Truly a blessed time!
