When we talk about patriarchy being handed down from generation to generation, there's often the defensive man's argument that women pass it down too. While I am careful not to shift the blame like that, sure, that statement is objectively true.

But why? Sure, deep conditioning is the common answer, but I think there's a covert layer we don't talk about.

Bra strap showing. Growing up as a boy, few things have meandered in my mind as much as that. Not in the way you think but I have a question for you.

If you wear a bra, and you're comfortable answering: what would you prefer someone do if your strap shows in public? Does it depend on your relationship with them? And do you think your preference should generally apply to everyone?

And if you've never worn a bra and never wanted to wear one—no bra, no opinion.

Hot take: Not every rejection is ‘his loss’ or ‘her loss.’ Sometimes someone just said no and we need to be okay with that.”

People are allowed to just not want something. That's part of consent too, being able to say No without having to explain the No if they don't wish to.

These are the songs that are responsible for my Onism.

Onism is the frustration of being stuck in just one body, that inhabits only one place at a time, thinking about all the things you’ll never get to see before you die.

Equal parts longing, equal parts frustration

Sensations in Malayalam that English doesn't have words for and it's all from one stanza of one beautiful Malayalam song.

Song: Ennodenthinee Pinakkam from 'Kaliyattam'(1997).

Today I learned that I am quoted in an Independent Swedish blog that I had no idea about, and referred to as 'Cute of the week'?

This blog is called Tankebubblor, meaning Thought Bubbles, and it's a really nice weekly compilation of commentary on life by the author.

From audition to actual filming, a character can be presented drastically different. Demonstrated using my first lead role.
