    The French translation of Miss Laila, Armed and Dangerous is releasing in days and the first review has said all this. In case you attended Alliance Française for its French and not prospective lovers.

    Captivating stories are not necessarily true, nor what will make our lives better. People “identify" with stories not out of wisdom but impelled by that influential force—misunderstanding. Clarity is inconvenient, while misunderstanding is a pleasurable massage of prejudice.

    Writes , "What is interesting in a story is not what is important in life. At times, the two do meet, but that is rare. [...] The most captivating stories are not necessarily true, nor what will make our lives better."

    Our air is poison, we are stranded for half our lives in traffic congestion, we exist in total spatial ugliness, our children grow up with very low racial and cultural self-esteem. Yet our greatest agitations are about useless issues. My latest column:

    Ah, so it turned out this guy lied about the whole thing. Hoaxes involving a "poor person working hard to crack the civil services exam" have replaced "NASA invites village boy..."

    The WOKE should NOT condemn or laugh at those that are silent.There r many reasons why a lot ppl r in the “closet”. Don’t drive them away . Keep the difficult conversations going.Everybody is not an activist and many of those who r not activists are brilliant , nice people.

    One of the questions from China's very-diffcult-to-crack civil services exam; part one is a two-hour ‘administrative occupational ability test’. This is from an essay by Long Ling, who is a 'government official in Beijing and a member of the Chinese Communist Party.'

    Once a billionaire taunted journalists for being 'negative'. '...don’t criticize Indian politicians......to fulfil your need to be negative, criticize people who don’t matter - foreigners." The BJP, too, thinks it's OK to pick a fight with “foreign" Muslims. Miscalculation.

    I don't believe the BJP wants to antagonize Indian Muslims. The time for that play is long gone. It is an obsolete argument against the BJP. So why is it unable to see why it is so wrong to single out Muslims among undocumented immigrants?

    The most surprising thing about extroverts is that most of them can’t dance.

    Idealism appears modern but it's heritage. They are the fittest virtues to have survived. Eg: Climate change movement is not about climate —it's about misanthropy. Ideals are ancient. Idealists are zombies possessed by an ancient spirit. Why let zombies put you off ideals?

    "Idealism should be ingested very differently by the intelligent, the wise, the analytical, the old, the honest, the non-sentimental, the happy, the strong and the sane."

    Many people are ‘right-wing’ only because they hate that one ‘leftist’.
