We don’t talk enough about what it actually looks like to have power and exercise it.

Anu Singh on @thejhanvitiwarishow talks about Mrs. and what happens after you make something that changes the conversation - the self-induced pressure to top it, the external pressure of being bracketed as “that kind of writer,” and why she thinks both are traps.
@anusinghwrites on what comes after the breakthrough.

Do you know what you’re actually worth - or just what you’ve been offered?
While speaking with @anusinghwrites , we got into the one thing nobody teaches women who want to write for a living - how to ask for what you deserve without apologising for it.
She’s been in rooms where nobody valued her work. She learned anyway.

If you had a man’s body - would you still be where you are today?

“The unexamined life is not worth living”. ~ Socrates
Coming up on @thejhanvitiwarishow , @anusinghwrites X @jhanvitiw , on identity, living life on one own terms, success, failures, power, money, career, family, and constant negotiation with self and the world around while living (and reflecting) on everything in between.
And I speak while wearing love. The @cord.in dress is a gift from @pranjalkanwar , the beautiful handcrafted danglers a gift from @kavidrama , the black wooden ring picked up by @hobokettle while we went around shopping in cancer research charity stores in Clapham, London. The @onitsukatigerindia orange shoes a gift from my co-founder and sibling, Prashant Raj.
This one is for you @drgagan.hira
The one who never speaks
of what he carries within
holds the deepest restlessness
beneath his eyes
The one who doesn’t know
how to shake your hand
pull him close,
and you’ll find
it is he
who weeps the hardest
The one whose lips
hold the fewest grudges
taste them,
and you’ll know
his are the saddest kisses
The one whose shoulders
seem the most unbreakable,
it is his chest
which carries the weight
of this shameless world
What shows itself
is never quite real
what stays hidden underneath
is almost always
the most honest truth.
पिता को हम अक्सर अपनी माँ के आँचल से झाँक कर देखते हैं। और वो पर्दा हमारे और हमारे पिता के बीच की कई दीवारों की परतों में से एक अहम परत होता है।

“I am a very proud rebel. But I hope to be a revolutionary.”
This is the first thing that stopped me mid-conversation.
Not because it’s provocative. Because she meant it like she’d been sitting with the difference between the two for a long time.
In my eyes though, and especially with Mrs (2023), Anu Singh is already a revolutionary who has built something that outlasts her.
@thejhanvitiwarishow exists because I have had conversations with women who had figured something out - about power, about money, about how to get into rooms that weren’t built for them - and those conversations were happening in private. In studios. Over coffee. On flights.
And it felt unfair to not have the rest of the women be privy to them.
