She used to gorge on the mutton samosas my mom made and used to complain that my mom is making her fat. That is an incoherent stand. I see it a different way. Would you discuss where you went holidaying at a funeral? Edited April 25, 2021 by EnterTheVoid

Of course I wouldn't. Look most of us are aware how bad the situation is. Most of us are locked down or have some kind of restriction on mobility. Many of us are also involved in some kind of community help. And most of us also have occupations and families to take care of. You want people to be perpetually gloomy and not read anything else except on Covid? Should they not lead their lives? All of us are watching the IPL. Does it mean that the BCCI is mocking the covid victims by holding the IPL now? Anyone who generates income now with his her spare $ is doing a good job. Hospitality had a terrible year in 2020. Lots of people have been fired. Lots of jobs lost. This maybe a much needed shot to the arm for that sector. Hospitality and aviation. I just don't see why you are so worked up about this.

I just don't see why you are so worked up about this. The analogy for me is very clear. A sensible person wouldn't discuss their holidays at a funeral. As with anything, there is a time and place. It's the attention seeking behaviour that gets to me. Everybody's capacity is on addressing the COVID issue, to use that as a funnel to divert attention to oneself and make themselves "the story" is unconscionable. And unconscionable at every level. No one is saying to live a life of gloom and doom. I gave the example of myself going to Europe when there were bushfires back home. I had enough sense and awareness of my surroundings not to make a big hoo haa about it. Who has more clout? Me or someone like a Mandira Bedi? I'd like to say myself but I'll go with Mandirs Bedi.

I just don't see why you are so worked up about this. My exact thoughts. I find it inappropriate or cringy at times when India is facing a lot of distress, and such people put a vacavtion reel, but then on 2nd thought, who are we to judge when all of us collectively are looking from a different lens. Better not to judge anyone at this times. We all have been bad. When our relatives were organizing weddings in November-December of 2020 of their sons and daugthers when Covid situations in India was much better, there were still people dying of covid. No one said anything then or felt sad for the covid victims and their families then, even though it was just 3-4 months ago. We have been under pandemic from over a year now, and I am very sure, all of us have done something wrong in someone's eye in the last one year. So better to look at ourselves first. Mariyam 1
