Tushar’s love for Americanos has never stopped growing, just like his sci-fi and thriller watchlist. And that one Metallica concert clip he watched with his childhood friend? Well, that was all it took to tune him into ’80s rock and metal for life.It’s not just Tushar’s team that knows he’s got their back, but everyone else too. And on days when nothing else helps, his deadpan one-liners do the trick.Thank you for making this a great place to work, Tushar. Ride the lightning, always. 🤘💙 #meettheteam #peopleofbluetokai #bluetokaicoffee #community
Motherhood is life altering. And in a culture that sees this transition as one of the most significant identities a woman can hold, it can in reality be a very complicated emotional experience for 82% of new mothers.On one hand you adore your child and on the other you are trying to cope with the gap between the identity you were once so familiar with and how it changed overnight. Advice pours in from every corner and so do thoughts that make you question whether you are a ‘bad mother’ (because in our minds, everyone else is a ‘good’ one).Asking for help or even understanding what we are going through can add another layer to the overwhelm, so we continue on alone.If something feels off in your emotional space, or if you notice a loved one feeling overwhelmed even if they seem incredibly functional (since many postpartum mothers are high functioning but still suffering), we are sharing a few resources in the link in our bio.They come from @thethoughtco , a collective of therapists we’ve partnered with for a series on mental health. They work across a range of mental health concerns, including postpartum depression and anxiety, and talk about the lesser-known “fourth trimester”. The first call with them is free.If you know of any other resources that have helped you or a loved one through this experience, please share them in the comments for our community. Thank you. #mothersday #postpartumdepressionawareness #unfilteredconversations #motherhoodjourney #bluetokainofilter
Mental Health Awareness Month felt like the right time to go deeper. We’re spending the month sitting with the conversations that don’t always find a room, but often follow us into every room. This May, Grounds for Thought is exploring the mind; how we hide pain, who we become online, what AI is doing to us, and the quiet weight of motherhood. Sundays, 4 PM onwards. Link in bio for details. 💚 #bluetokaixunlecture #bluetokainofilter
April is Dalit History Month – an opportunity for many of us to acknowledge, learn, and sit with histories that have been systematically pushed to the margins. And as we celebrate World Book Day today, it felt like the right moment to share six books that have been a great starting point for us in understanding the complex oppressive structures of caste. We hope they do the same for whoever picks them up next. Tell us about a book that shaped your views of caste. 💙
