The Nu Maha Bharat: Orry, Shalini Passi, Bigg Boss - the new cornerstones of Indian society and pop culture
Orry's airport looks, Passi's art soirees and the drama of other Bigg Boss contestants. This isn't merely a shift, it's an evolution, a satire on steroids.
Who needs spiritual enlightenment when you have Orhan Awatramani, a.k.a. high priest of selfies and paid appearances? His Instagram captions — equal part-enigmatic and grammatically adventurous — are the modern-day Bhagavad Gita for Gen Z. He teaches us that the true meaning of life lies in jet-setting to obscure fashion weeks and hopping from one lavish party to another with the dedication of a child chasing his lollipop.
An Orry bunch
Orry is the friend we all need, but don't deserve: he never works — as far as anyone can tell — yet lives like a modern maharaja. Perhaps he's here to remind us that in an era of moonlighting and burnout, the ultimate career goal is… having no career at all. Forget Narayana Murthy with his 70-hr work week. Orry has shown us a smarter path to success. Why do the daily grind when you can simply name-drop? His star-studded Rolodex isn't just his social calendar; it's both his LinkedIn profile and what puts the avocado toast on his table.
Passi notes
Meanwhile, Shalini Passi is making art accessible — if by accessible you mean champagne-sipping, invite-only gallery launches. For a society that still can't decide whether abstract art is 'genius' or 'something my 4-year-old could do', Passi is the beacon of hope we didn't know we needed. She bridges the gap between intellectual pretension and social climbing.
