  1. Stare into the mirror. Not at the mirror. Into it. What do you see? Gym mirrors are exempted. Careful Icarus.
  2. Read self help medium articles that are not free, but show up in your recommended list even though you don’t have a premium subscription. Careful. Do not waste those 3 free reads on anything else.
  3. Don’t listen to anyone else. Listen to yourself. And the voices in your head. The louder the better.
  4. You may listen to Kanye West
  5. Do not fact check anything on Breitbart and see how you feel about it.
  6. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that the ladies seat is only for ladies, unless you think it is. If you don’t, then there’s a budding independent thinker in you who might also turn out to be misogynistic
  7. Like the PM of India? How about the FM of India? Smriti Irani? Name everyone in his cabinet and make a Bingo card out of it. Did you do both? Talk to your friends and mark them off every time someone talks adoringly about them. This can get tricky…. Smriti Irani gets an exception if it was your serial-serial-watcher aunt. We all that know they deserve a break.
  8. Did you win Bingo with yourself? Go back to Step 1.
  9. The End.
