In his recent interview with Sucharita Tyagi, Ali Fazal addressed the issue faced by writers in the industry and said, “Ye ek dukhti rag hai”. He shared how he aims to make self-sufficient machinery for the writers to get a fair share. The discussion actually goes far beyond the monetary aspect for writers, for whom it’s a perpetual struggle for credit and due respect. How has the word ‘writer’ become synonymous with ‘underpaid’? Why do these issues never seem to get even remotely resolved for the brains behind the ideas that are the base of all projects? @soumyasekhardas [ Ali Fazal , Sucharita Tyagi , Writers , Unpaid ] #SWEditDesk

Recently, a Jaipur-based entrepreneur posted the exorbitant school fee structure for enrolling his daughter into Grade 1. It was 4.27 lakhs per annum. The now-viral tweet has everyone agreeing on the state of education in India - you cannot give decent opportunities to your child without perhaps cutting corners on key essentials of daily life. Does a big fee always translate into good education? Who’s to blame here - businesspersons or parents? @parulrajwanshi [ Education, School Fee, India ] #SWEditDesk

70 hours of work with a 6-day workweek? The internet has always debated about Infosys co-founder, Narayana Murthy’s take on work-life balance. Based on some of his comments, we pushed ourselves to imagine - what would the world look like if Narayana Murthy ran it? (hypothetically, obviously). And one thing’s for sure, it wouldn’t be easy to survive, let alone thrive. Tap the link in the bio to read about it. @notsopreet [Narayana Murthy, Infosys, Work Life] #SWEditDesk

Ahead of his Hyderabad concert under the ragingly successful 'Dil-Luminati Tour', Diljit Dosanjh was served a notice by the Telangana government to avoid performing songs promoting alcohol, drugs, and violence. While the singer abided by tweaking the lyrics, he openly took a dig at the apparent hypocrisy on the state authorities' part when international artists are not slapped with such rules. Dosanjh has openly debated the restriction even in his Ahmedabad concert, giving a few solutions of his own. Was the notice necessary, and if so, would it be a norm for all the artists performing in the city next? @parulrajwanshi [ Diljit Dosanjh , Dil-Luminati , Telangana , Hyderabad , Diljit Dosanjh Concert ] #SWEditDesk #diljitdosanjh #dilluminatitour2024

Every time there is a mention of Shaktimaan’s return, the 90s kids can’t help but turn their heads towards it- after all he was our first superhero, a sweet memory from our childhood. However, every time we get to see Mukesh Khanna putting on that suit, just imparting vague information about the future of our beloved character. Apart from his obsession with the character, and in his attempts of limiting the creative freedom of Shaktimaan to only himself, he comes out as possessive and conservative. It seems the internet has had enough shenanigans, and keeps serious doubts on the future of the character and the quality of its production. @soumyasekhardas [ Shaktimaan , Mukesh Khanna ] #SWEditDesk

With the increasing use of cab services, cab scams are also rising. While most of the drivers work hard to provide a safe and reliable ride, there has been an increase in scams and shady practices. Recently, an X user posted on the platform, claiming an airport ride to be a threatening experience. Most of us might have also gone through instances like being picked up by a vehicle bearing different numbers. Here are some of the most common scams that have been shared by users, followed by some tricks that can save you from getting scammed. @notsopreet [Cab drivers, Ola, Uber, Scams] #SWEditDesk

The U.S. President-elect Donald Trump recently named Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). From a meme to being a cryptocurrency to becoming a powerful advisor to the White House, Doge’s journey has been fascinating, just like the person co-heading it, Elon Musk. Once revered by many for his vision to take our civilization to a better future, Musk’s actions, choices, and words in recent years have made us question who we idolize in life. Benefitting hugely from Trump’s win, what could Musk do with all the wealth and power in his possession? Having conflicting views with Trump on many fronts, how will he balance his entrepreneurial endeavours with political diplomacy? @soumyasekhardas [ Donald Trump , Elon Musk , DOGE ]

Gen Z employees have a problem with the prevalent corporate culture. In their lingo, it’s extremely ‘sus’ with ‘delulu’ expectations, and hence, majorly fails the ‘vibe check’. However, they’re clear on how to tackle it. Declining availability post stipulated work hours, pointing out the slightest jump in their seniors’ tone, and prioritising their mental health with leaves when they prefer - their corporate rulebook is ready and roaring. Will they successfully rewrite the toxic protocols and processes companies have been upholding since long? As teams are also becoming more diverse with people from all ages and cultures working together, we need to rehash what constructively works when it comes to work. @parulrajwanshi #SWEditDesk [ Gen Z, Gen Z Employees, Corporate Culture ]

With more than 40 lakh weddings lined up in the coming months, prepare to be bombarded with posts on social media about the exorbitant ‘lehengas’ and ‘dulha-dulhan’ entries straight from a weird science fiction and fairytale cross. When it comes to weddings, the money in the bank and balance sheets are the least of the concerns for us Indians. Here’s a list of some of the extravagant numbers from this wedding season, where we have tried to put them into context. ✍️: @soumyasekhardas [ Indian wedding , wedding , Desi weddings , Desi parents ] #SWEditDesk

In today’s time, can anyone live without social media? Majority of us can’t - but Australia has other plans for its under-16 citizens. It’s preparing to pass a law that will ban them from using social media. The move reportedly aims to protect them from its evils in an impressionable phase of their lives. Is it the right strategy, or a bit too extreme? Can others like India afford to follow suit? @parulrajwanshi #SWEditDesk
