DADs🧍 We NEED to TALK!!
REFLECTIONS ON TURNING ONE
A Father’s Note for Garvin
✦ ✦ ✦
I just realized how little we dads get to talk about our kids, while our better halves have an entire community dedicated to doing just that.
Garvin turns 1 tomorrow.
He took his first steps barely 10 days ago, and now he’s already sprinting, making random sounds all day long. He never sits still, picks up every tiny object he can find, and peculiarly loves to rest face-down on the cold floor.
He does all sorts of shaitani—like deliberately turning on the tap, looking right into our eyes, and loudly announcing, “No, no, no!”
He loves dogs, loves being outdoors, and stays remarkably chill at house parties. He’s becoming quite possessive about his mom, already has an eye for pretty girls of any age, and will generously feed me whatever happens to be in his little hands.
But nothing beats the way he rushes toward me the second I walk through the door.
I hope he gets to see the whole world, discover his true self, and live a deeply fulfilled life ahead. Happy 1st birthday, Garvin.
Dads, my DMs & comments are open—let’s talk.
P.S. Like all boys, he sometimes plays with his pee-pee.
Seeing a lot of videos lately of auto drivers, cabbies, and airport staff being harassed for not speaking Marathi. But this will not help Marathi, Here is why;
First, the demographic reality. Hindi speakers are growing rapidly. In 1971, about 37% of Indians spoke Hindi natively. Today, that number is pushing past 46%. Meanwhile, the percentage share of most regional languages is dropping, purely because of lower birth rates in those states.
You can't reverse a national population trend by forcing a random auto-rickshaw driver to learn marathi.
Second, look at the economics. Financial hubs like Mumbai don't become global giants by staying isolated. They grow because they attract capital, talent and migrant labor from all over the country. Harassing service workers just creates friction. It hurts business and it hurts the poorest workers who are just trying to earn a daily wage.
Most importantly, what about the law? Article 19 of our Constitution gives every single citizen the right to move freely, live, and work anywhere in India. Turning language into a barrier for a gig worker's livelihood completely goes against this fundamental right.
If we want to preserve a language, we should do it through schools, literature, and cinema. Bullying a guy who is driving a cab for 14 hours a day isn't protecting culture, it's just harassment.
Every other creator is parroting AI generated scripts in reels, so monotonous and borderline irritating 😡
उद्योगपतियों ने पहले मीडिया खरीदी,
फिर उसी मीडिया को सरकार के पास गिरवी रख दिया, ताकि सरकार से पूरा देश खरीद सके।
These days, every time I open the news, I get depressed.
Every time I open social media, I get depressed.

I get depressed looking at my demat account, my ITR, my daughter’s school fees, petrol prices, vegetable prices, the falling value of the rupee, my insurance claim settlement ratio, and now AI running behind my job too.

Because with IndiGo, you never know when your flight might turn into an extended vacation.😅
