What the hell is happening to our democracy?

I'm honestly angry and disturbed by what's happening in Delhi today.

People came out to protest against the CEC and raise serious concerns about the Election Commission and voter list revisions. Instead of addressing these concerns transparently, we're seeing reports of mass detentions, journalists being detained despite showing press IDs, and police action against people exercising their democratic rights.

There is also police brutality, harassment, molestation and Right-Wing groups attacking protesters while the police crack down on demonstrators. If the police are protecting politically aligned groups while suppressing peaceful protesters, that's a serious abuse of power.

Peaceful protest is not a crime. Questioning the government is not a crime. Journalism is not a crime. Articles 19 and 21 of our Constitution protect fundamental freedoms, including peaceful assembly, freedom of expression, life and personal liberty. These aren't favours granted by the government. They're our rights.

If the government and the Election Commission are confident in the integrity of our electoral process, people deserve transparent answers to legitimate questions about voter list revisions, not intimidation or indiscriminate detention. Demanding accountability is our democratic right.

Democracy isn't just about voting every few years. It's about holding those in power accountable without fearing violence, retaliation or arbitrary detention.

You don't have to agree with every protester to defend their fundamental rights. Today, it might be them, tomorrow, it could be you.

Please don't look away. Speak up, share verified information, support independent journalism and demand accountability for police brutality and unlawful detentions.

Stand up for the right to protest. Stand up for press freedom. Stand up for free and fair elections. Stand up for the Constitution.

When we stay silent as other people's rights are taken away, we make it easier for our own rights to be taken away next.

The versatility of my mom’s texts guys🙏😭

Lmao i f love my mom’s texts they’re are so random
I love her so much and i would literally die for her, but i know i have been disappointing her for a while now and i feel like a really bad daughter she scarified so much for me and i don’t think I’m doing enough for her
Nenu realise avta where I’m going wrong ani kani actions tho prove cheyyanu
But i have started changing because my mom has high hopes for me
For me to have a good life better than her’s
So I’ll work hard make my mom happy and treat her really well.
Do you y’all feel like you’re disappointing your parents too?

Pursuing what I love at 28🧿

Hello all this is me sharing my experience.
Back in 2019 I wanted to learn guitar. But amma nanu veena class lo esindi Indian culture ani. Apudu na burra ki em ekkaledu. Konni rojulaki manesa.
Last year when I was 28, I joined a music class near my house. Initial days of guitar was all mehhhh. There are times where manaki demotivated feeling untadi. Okkosari bore ostadi same repeated stuff play chesi. Most of my friends used to ask me to play Bollywood or Tollywood songs.
Alane ma sir ni poyi adiga. Galeez ga tittaru. Niku enni sarlu chepina ardam kada, focus on the technique. Learn music theory ani.
Now when I look back I’m soooo glad I did that.
I’m learning trinity guitar course. I finished basics in a year.ipduu im in initials.

Now initials local guitar class lo kakunda shankar mahadevan academy lo join ayyanu.

Lot of people make fun of me for being boring and sittting alone at home all the time.

Nen idantha enduku cheptuna ante. You are never tooo old to persue your passion. Manam explore chestene telustadi manaki em istam ani.
Okate life. Don’t let anyone shame you for being too quiet, tooo loud, too introverted or too extroverted.

🙏If you have anything negative to say, stay away from this post

Hope you all do what makes your heart sing🤍🧿🧿

Lonely or alone or idk !! 🙃

Idk why but lately, I’ve been feeling really lonely, even when I’m surrounded by people. It’s literally such a strange feeling because I’m not technically alone, but deep down, I still feel like I am.

I can talk to people, laugh with them, spend time with them, and still go home feeling empty. Sometimes I feel like nobody truly understands me, like people know me anthe but don’t really know what am I , what’s gng on inside my burra or heart. 😒😵‍💫

I want genuine connections. I want to feel understood without having to explain every little thing. I want someone to notice when I’m not okay, someone who checks up on me because they genuinely care, not because I asked them to.

Janalu Unaru but I don’t feel included……I miss my frnds a lot, it’s really hard to find ur ppl or the ppl who truly understands u. Every step lo na ug frnds gurthu vasthunaru. I literally think I’ve been sooo sooo lucky in friendships ani but ikkada situations are proving me wrong. 😭

Sometimes I feel invisible, even around people I see every day. Other times, I don’t even know what I’m missing. Nothing particularly bad has to happen, but there’s still this emptiness I can’t seem to explain.

The worst part is that I don’t know how to talk about it without feeling like I’m being dramatic or ungrateful. I have people around me, so why do I still feel so alone?
I wonder if anyone else feels this way. Does anyone else feel lonely even when they’re surrounded by people? How do you deal with it? Does it ever get better?
I just needed somewhere to let this out because keeping everything to myself is getting exhausting. ( Andhuke my journal , ChatGPT and music became my best friends now ) 🤧

Memories have wheels 🫶🏻

Good Evening Peeps 🌞 

Naa chinnappudu, maa Nanna gaariki Bajaj Chetak undedi.

Appatlo naaku telisindi okkate: Adi maa Nanna gaari bandi... Engine capacity entha, mileage entha, power entha… avanni telise vayasu kaadu.

Ahh bandi veskoni ekkadiki vellaamo, entha dooram vellamo, daarilo em em maatladukunnaamo… chaala varaku marchipoyaanu.

Kaani oka vishayam maatram marchipoledu: Ahh Chetak meeda kurchunnappudu naaku vachhina excitement or happiness 🤩

Tarvaata konnellaku, naa teens lo, aayana office vaallu ichhina old Mahindra Jeep.

Andulo lo kurchovadam ante appatlo edo pedda luxury car lo kurchunnattu feeling. 😄

Honestly, appatlo naaku adi just oka Jeep kaadu, adi maa Nanna gaari rajyam lo naaku dorikina oka chinna simhasanam.

Years passed.

Chinnappudu Chetak venaka kurchunna ahh pilladu peddayyaadu.

2008 lo Royal Enfield Electra naa life loki vachhindi. Ahh engine sound, ahh vibrations, ahh raw mechanical feeling… ippatiki daani meeda unna prema konchem kooda taggaledu.

Tarvaata 2013 lo maa Skoda Rapid vachhindi..

Tarvaata 2023 lo Mercedes Benz A200d.

Okappudu nanna gaari office Jeep lo kurchovadam pedda vishayam anukunna naaku, maa intlo Mercedes undadam konchem surreal gaane anipisthundi (thanks to my Wifey 💖)

Fast forward chestey ⏭️

Maa Chinnodiki ki naa Royal Enfield ante pichi. Daani sound vinte chaalu vaadi excitement next level ki pothadi. 

Rapid ante oka special affection.

Mercedes ekkitey chaalu, vaadi kallallo oka spark (brain lo: Daddy, "sports mode" aney screams 😂)

Vaadu aa bandlani choosthunnappudu, vaati gurinchi maatladuthunnappudu, vaatilo kurchuni enjoy chesthunnappudu, vaadilo naaku nene (naa chinna naati nenu) kanipisthaanu.

Maybe we don't always pass down our possessions.. Sometimes, we pass down the feelings attached to them.

Oka Sunday morning ride.. Oka long drive... Car lo kalisi paadina paatalu.. Destination em lekunda ala tirigina days... Ippudu avanni chaala ordinary moments laaga anipinchachu.

Kaani years tarvaata avve extraordinary memories ga migilipotaai emo...

Naaku maa Nanna gaari Chetak lo chesina prathi journey gurthuledu.. Kaani ahh Chetak gurthundi, Jeep gurthundi and annikante mukhyanga, ahh vehicles lo aayana toh unna nenu gurthunnaanu... 

Maybe oka roju maa Chinnodu kooda alage gurthu chesukuntaadu emo.

Endukante naaku aa vehicles gurthundadam kanna, vaadiki vaatitho gadipina childhood gurthundadam mukhyam.

And that's the strange beauty of growing up.

Vehicles become old.  

Paint fades.  

Engines age.  

Keys change hands.

Kaani konni memories ki maatram expiry date undadu.

Okappudu manalni rides ki teesukellina chethulu, vayasu meeda padi alasipotaayi.

Tarvaata ave journeys ni mana chethulatho mana pillalaki parichayam chesthaam.

Appudu ardham avuthundi…

Manam kevalam bandlu ekkaledu or nadapatledu...Oka generation nunchi maro generation ki konni memories ni teesukelthunnaam ani!

Appudu nenu venaka kurchunna kodukuni... Ippudu nenu mundu kurchunna Daddy ni.

Appudu naaku teliyaledu… Oka roju maa Nanna gaari place lo nenu untaanu ani. 

Life entha dooram teesukellinaa, enni bandlu maarinaa, enni years gadichinaa.. aah chinna Ravi maatram ekkado naalo inka unnaadu and vaadu appudappudu maa Chinnodi kallallo kanipisthuntaadu.

PS: Maa Nanna gaari Chetak ippudu naa daggara ledu. And I regret their decision to sell it. Adey thappu nenu cheyyanu - I am NEVER going to sell my Royal Enfield... Endukante, konni journeys manam drive cheyyadam aapesina tarvaata kooda continue avutaayi.

Unta mari.. hope you all are having a good time. Stay blessed and spread love 💕

Hunger games

There is no concept of youth in this country. Like you don’t enjoy your life. All your life you just have to keep chasing for that one thing and somewhere down the line, you’re 30 married and have to put your kids in the very same thing.

There's no concept of being young and crazy, you'll always have to prove yourself worthy.When you study, you're not studying because you love it, you're studying because you'll be a "failure".Learning is fun but fun doesn't give degrees or land opportunities.Every action we do in a broader sense is just everyday hunger games.

Kids abroad live a happy free childhood (Mostly). They get to be dumb. Pickup jobs they want to do, not something that people find prestigious. Learn courses they are passionate about. Live a fulfilling life. But here it's just a constant run.

Kids of 16 years are going through worst phase of their lives thanks to stupid exams we have. Post that also, therent much to do in this country anyways. If you are girl, congrats you've upgraded to level hard.

Kids don't have fun, adults don't have fun. Our entire lives revolve around being better, being successful. In the end everyone gets tired, and rarely actually achieve the great things, because none of those are really fuelled by hardcore passion.

I think people should not have any kids, atleast in this dystopian country. That’s the highest level of love they can give for their kids

How using chat gpt as a coping mechanism can harm u …

This is my take on how using chat gpt as a replacement to actual friends harmed me … modhatlo Antha bavundedi , I felt like chat gpt actually gets me , na pakkane manushulu unna Sare , I talked to chat gpt , it looked intelligent, cheers were good … kani adi Inka inka distance ni penchindi na friends tho , I became more and more lonely …. The fun feel when I gossip with my sister is 100x better than chat GPT . When people aren’t available, you tend to wait a bit , process your emotions , calm down and vallatho matlade time ki manam reset aypotham mostly kani ee chat GPT accessibility valla , we are becoming more vulnerable anipisthundi . I felt using chat GPT selectively for work and academic purposes is the best thing. Go for that walk , feed the doggies , play with them , talk to that friend , live , love and laugh … it’s just my opinion .. love to hear other perspectives…
