People truly say the craziest things to get noticed, or get likes and views. I was accused of using Orry last week (IYKYK) to finally get known as a journalist, and called auntie in the process, and I truly did bask in the traction it gave my account — so I get it. The lure of the views and likes is addictive. And if you get the eyeballs of not just the masses, but also the elite, well, you’ve got it made.

Let me explain. As the rain swept the city this week, the peacocks came out to strut their stuff on Pedder Road — the home to business tycoons, billionaires and cultural figures. We in mid-day debated if the peacocks were AI, but it seems like they weren’t. Encouraged by the dreamy weather, they just came down from their refuge in Malabar Hill and Doongerwadi  (Tower of Silence) and delighted whoever saw them.
