Something happened in the White House that felt strangely familiar to Goregaon West, Mumbai. The difference, of course, is that the White House is the office of the most powerful president in the world, while Goregaon West is home to the Bigg Boss set. But in our times, that distinction hardly matters. The line between governance and entertainment has melted like fake Nutralite butter on a Delhi vada pao. Everything is engineered for the internet, where news isn’t consumed but clipped, memed, and thrown onto the endless highway of doomscrolling.
