Kollaam, pakshe tholppikkaanavilla...
I’ve realised something apparently, exposing a few uncomfortable truths has offended quite a few people. And for that, the collective “gift” you decided to give me was a Reddit ban.
Fair enough.
This is not about personal hatred. It is about accountability.
No matter how many bans I receive, I will continue looking for legitimate ways to bring facts to light. If one platform closes its doors, that does not make the underlying questions disappear.
What seems to be forgotten here is that the money being casually wasted or misused is not simply “somebody’s money.” It is money earned through the hard work and sacrifices of parents who struggle to provide for their children.
And then comes the most convenient part: spending that money and somehow convincing everyone that everything is perfectly legitimate. The ability to manipulate people, distort the narrative, and confidently defend questionable decisions is genuinely impressive.
But numbers don't care about narratives.
If 80 × ₹13,000 was collected as the IV Fund, then people have every right to ask where that money went. That is around ₹10.4 lakh, and there should be a clear and transparent account of how it was spent. If, after everything, the claim is that less than ₹5,000 remains, then provide a proper account.
Where was the money spent? What was necessary? What was not?
Overcharging people by making them pay ₹600 instead of ₹300 for a ride that was supposed to cost ₹300, and pocketing the difference by misleading them, is simply dishonest. How many such instances of money being misused or pocketed have happened within the IV itself?
If you want to go to Mumbai, Hampi, or anywhere else, there is absolutely nothing wrong with travelling.
Just use your own money.
Do not take money from fellow students, many of whom may already come from financially difficult circumstances, and then spend it as though it were your personal fund.
That is not clever.
That is not leadership.
And it certainly isn't something to be proud of.
Small acts of dishonesty become dangerous when people start convincing themselves that they are normal. Today it may be a few thousand rupees. Tomorrow, the scale could become much larger.
At the very least, show some empathy towards the people studying alongside you. You don't know how hard their parents worked to put that money into their hands.
Report me as many times as you want. Hate me, try to discredit me, or try to bury my posts. If something is wrong, I will call it out, regardless of who is responsible.
This is not a hate post.
And even now, there is still time for redemption.
Own your mistakes.
Be transparent.
Correct what is wrong.
Respect other people's money.
And have some empathy.
Be a good human being. Be kind. Be humble. Be accountable.
You lose absolutely nothing by doing the right thing.
You can ban an account.
You can bury a post.
You can try to control the narrative.
But silencing the person asking questions is not the same as answering the questions.
