Merry Christmas! How’s your Christmas going? Here is a collection of random tweets from Indian Twitter that will do India proud. Thread 👇1/n

 The run up to Christmas started with Chavhanke running his Christmas special series on conversions. 2/n
A few days before Christmas, a ‘dharmic’ influencer started a campaign about whether Hindus should celebrate Christmas. 3/n
Right-wing blog OpIndia meanwhile thought it was an opportune time to dig out a 10+ year old video of Zakir Naik on Christmas greetings. 4/n
No Christmas is complete without Indology enlightening his followers. In fact he does it every year on Christmas. 5/n
Come Christmas Day, right-wingers start calls for Eco friendly Christmas. 6/n
PM Modi sends out his Christmas greeting, much to the angst of some of his followers. Why should we celebrate Christmas, they ask. 7/n
Others wishing Merry Christmas meet the same fate. The hate is now boiling over. 8/n
The ones with red flags in their tweets and DPs are most upset for some reason. 9/n
Hashtags on ‘Tulsi Pujan Diwas’ are trending. The idea of Tulsi Pujan diwas on Christmas was the brainchild of Asaram and his followers are busy tweeting stuff like, say no to Christmas, revive Vedic festivals, etc. 10/n
The initiative to celebrate 25th December as ‘Good Governance Day’ that was started in 2014 has lost steam but some BJP handles still remember it and extend their greeting. In fact they extend greetings for everything other than Christmas on Dec 25th. 11/n
Only thing missing this year is Postcard News article on Christianity = KrishnaNeeti. So here is an old screenshot to entertain you. 12/n
Christians form <2.5% of India’s population. Yet their festival rattles a certain section of people so much every year. Feel sorry for the haters and enjoy the day. Merry Christmas!🎄🎁 13/13

THE DANGERS OF FEMINISTS THEORIES OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Mary(Not real name) was a friend I met on Twitter. We had good conversations but disagreed on how Twitter court of public opinions handled rape issues. We agreed to meet and our first meeting was at her place.

She brought up the issue of why I always sat on the fence and why I always wanted to hear from the other party because it means I support the “rapist” – RAPIST? I found it funny because how do you label someone a rapist just from an allegation?

You didn't hear from the accused & never want to hear the details of the allegation because you deem it insensitive. Mary explained that she was a victim and she is still traumatized and she asked if I knew just being a guy suffices to make her feel unsafe because she was alone?

That is why she normally prefers having her flatmate around or at least pretend her flatmate was around when she had a male visitor. I said her fears were valid because, stranger danger.
We ate lunch, gisted, played scrabble (which she cheated to win. Lool) and saw a movie.

When it was time to leave, I turned and asked her, do you know if you went on Twitter to say I raped you, nobody would ask question? They will believe because you are a woman. She nodded in the affirmative and said she knows.

This is from the official Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence DOD account on Twitter. Ezra Cohen-Watnick - after being appointed by Trump to chair an influential declassification board - "likes" a tweet that implies he is "Q."

I decided to stop lurking & take Twitter seriously around 6 months ago.

Grateful for a place to share ideas & to have grown from 900s to 7.1k since then.

Learned a lot about Twitter's algorithms over this period.

Sharing 1 tip to grow your Twitter per every 2 likes 📈 🐦


All your reach on social media is dependent on Network effects.

If you're below < 2k followers most of your tweets should be helpful replies to other larger accounts.

Don't be a "reply guy" tho. The audience of a large account can tell & the large account holder my block u.


When you borrow reach from a large account & someone clicks on your profile you should ->

Specify why people should follow you in your bio.
Give people a reason to follow you.

Titles & Social proof do help, unfortunately.

Good Format:
I Tweet About / Explore X
I Do Y
I Am Z

Your Pinned Tweet is the next possible point of converting someone into a follower.

Ideally, your pinned tweet should have a lot of social proof (likes) & summarize the essence of your bio & expand as a thread.

This is where you start to have an umbrella for your brand.

Each tweet you make should add value.

It should either:
1. Educate
2. Inspire
3. Entertain
4. Connect
5. Dispute

LMM @LifeMathMoney has built one of the strongest brands on Twitter, brilliantly using mental models, here the top 10.

Thread

1. Scientific method:

LMM continually tests and monitors the impact of each tweet and blog post.

He measures the impact of their ideas, which are sometimes radical, seeking to have a loyal rather than broad follower base.

2. Leverage:

Everything LMM does is leveraged. Guides, tweets, blog... he writes once and he reaches thousands of people.

He is one of those who best understands that the internet is a huge lever, which allows to disassociate time and money.

3. Compound interest:

LMM has been adding value for 2 years, from the beginning, knowing that time plays in favor of compound interest.

Its growth is brutal, reaching 200k followers. The more people LMM knows, the more his ideas will spread and the stronger his brand will be.

4. Resilience:

LMM writes a lot about the mindset. He knows that resilience, getting over the bad times is the way to success.

In today's society, where everything is effortlessly wanted, LMM relies on the fact that a fall is not fatal, it is just a lesson along the way.

SRISAILAM: KASHI OF THE SOUTH (AP)
#andhratemples

The divine abode of Mallikarjuna Swamy (Jyotirlinga) and Devi Brahmaramba (Shaktipeeth).

When Ganesha was married before Kartikeya, he left in anger to Kraunch mountain. Shiva and Parvati also followed him there.


Shiva assumed the form of Jyotirlinga and resided on the mountain by the name of Mallikarjuna. Mallika means Parvati while Arjuna is another name of Shiva
It is also said that once, a princess Chandravathi, saw a cow shedding milk on a rock resembling a shivlingam.
@DubeyYash1911


She started praying to the lingam daily and used to offer jasmine (mallika pushpam) daily. Pleased Shiva appeared before her and agreed to wear jasmine garland (mallika pushpmala) on his head permanently. Since then, Shiva became known as Mallikarjun Swamy.


At this place, Shakti took the form of Bhramaram (bee) to kill Arunasur and settled as Bhramaramba Devi. The place is a Shakti Peeth as the neck portion of Devi Sati fell here.

It is said that by merely seeing the hill, one is emancipated from all his sins and worries.

Importance of Famous Payyannur Pavithra Mothiram or Ring

Payyanur Sri Subramanya Swami Temple 🚩
Kerala

Temple, constructed by Parasurama is known as the 'Pazhani' of Kerala.The place got its name from 'Payyante Ooru' where Payyan is another name by which Subramanya was called.


There are references about this temple in Brahmanda purana. Muni Garga mentions this temple and the place to  the Pandavas when they were in Vanavasa. Temple was destroyed two times, once due to fire and then during the attack of Tipu Sultan.


Important tradition here is wearing of Pavithram by the temple priest. Pavithram is a sort of  ring worn during performing Vedic rituals or during the "pithrubali". Usually worn while performing Tarpana or Shradham. The traditional Pavitram is usually made of Dharbha grass

It's another day to expose Peter Alabi @pastorpeealabi of @HoFChurchNG & @ChristTribe. More victims have reached out to us. Unknown to many, Peter Alabi is actually an unrepentant serial sexual abuser. We know that he's been lying that he has repented and that the stories...

... we have put out so far are only with reference to what happened years back. But we can also confirm that he continued to prey on more victims even after he left Ife in 2016. We also know that Peter Alabi made serious attempts to sleep with some ladies during the lockdown...

A victim, who was one of those Peter Alabi tried to sleep with during the Covid-19 lockdown has shared with us some of the chats between her and Peter Alabi, which were initiated by Peter Alabi. According to the victim, when Peter Alabi's intentions became obvious, she decided...

... to play along and act like she was in concert with him. This eventually made Peter Alabi to reveal his covert intentions to sleep with her. The chat began on Instagram in March 2020 and continued on WhatsApp till June 2020. We will be sharing screenshots of the Instagram...

... chats below. Later today, we will share the WhatsApp chats which are more revealing and expository. Please see the screenshots of the Instagram chats between Peter Alabi (peterayoalabi) and the victim below👇🏾 @oauchristians @HoFChurchNG @peterayoalabi @funlola_alabi
