I am talking to my dad after a long time. He has become a rabid right winger. He is completely bought into that narrative. So much so - he said "Please dont subscribe to NDTV, since they sometimes criticize a particular party".
He is 82, I respect him and care for him.
But I do worry that if this is what life is - watching news for about 8 hrs and having rabid opinions.....then I worry for my own "older self".
I want to be chill with jazz, ready poetry, not have such strong conflicts with the world - and if I do - then I want it to be a balanced open minded conversation.
I often wonder who watches Times Now and Republic. The answer was always in my backyard.
