Breakfast Babble is ED’s own little space on the interwebs where we gather to discuss ideas and get pumped up (or not) for the day. We judge things too. Sometimes. Always. Whatever, call it catharsis and join in, people.
Every morning, I scroll through my phone with a cup of chai in hand. Not because I’m obsessed with social media (okay, maybe a little), but because I believe Instagram, YouTube, and their algorithmic cousins have a divine plan for me.
Forget tarot cards or astrologers—social media algorithms are my modern-day fortune tellers, and the prophecies they deliver are nothing short of hilarious.
I’m staring at a blank Word document, desperately seeking inspiration. Writer’s block is real, and my brain feels like Doordarshan in the ’90s—mostly static. That’s when I turned to Instagram. Within minutes, I’m bombarded with reels about:
- A cat dancing to “Lungi Dance.”
- Desi moms roasting career choices (“Journalism? Arre beta, engineering kyun nahi kiya?!”).
- A chaiwala in Bihar building a robot to serve chai.
The algorithm knows me better than I know myself. It tosses me quirky chaos, and bam! I’ve got my next blog idea: “10 Reasons Why Indian Moms Are Secretly Stand-Up Comedians.“
Algorithms don’t just inspire my writing; they’re also eerily relatable. Last week, after googling “pressure cooker recipes,” Instagram bombarded me with hacks, cooking gadgets, and a suspicious ad for a pressure cooker claiming to cook biryani in 10 minutes. Creepy? Yes. Useful? Absolutely.
The funniest part? Algorithms expose my quirks. After binge-watching lazy hacks, Instagram now assumes I need tutorials for opening a water bottle.

My YouTube feed regularly suggests:
- “How to make pav bhaji for under 10 rupees.”
- Saas-Bahu serial clips with supernatural twists.
- TED Talks by IIT dropouts selling Golgappas.
The comment section? A warzone of Indians debating whether Maggi takes two minutes or five. Priceless.
Algorithms aren’t just creepy; they’re hilariously accurate fortune tellers. Whether feeding me blog ideas or predicting my next guilty pleasure, they’ve made my life—and writing—infinitely funnier. So, here’s to the divine chaos of the algorithm gods, our modern-day soothsayers!
