- মিঠুনদা! নাচুন না! 🕺
- Instead of saying ‘Women slept their way to the top’ we say ‘Men withhold promotions until they receive sexual favours’, because that’s what it really is. Best quote I read today.
- How many centuries should women live through, before they’re allowed to be free?
- Would be lovely to see a person from South India, say a Tamil person become the Prime Minister and address the entire country in Tamil. 😈
- A friend has shared that she was sent home from SXC for wearing a skirt that did not cover her ankles! More horror stories about the regressive culture of St Xavier’s College/school need to come out in public. Break the silence.

- Bengal polls: Please call out the BJP for carrying on this vicious, hate inciting, riot inciting fake news machinery for years now. It’s not new and it won’t stop. We need to fight it every day all the time. Salute @AltNews @free_thinker thanks!

- Blatant fascism. Destabilising state machinery in the midst of a terrible pandemic. Never forget. #WestBengal #BjpDestroyedIndia
- Feeling emotional. At a very, very personal level. Probably need to sleep it off ! Thank you Bengal.
