Tripura: Where Praise is Mandatory and Honesty is Optional!
In Tripura, where compliments abound and honesty takes a backseat, the "Complimentary Revolution" transforms everyday interactions into a lavish performance of flattery. As residents embrace this new culture, they redefine reality, proving that a kind word may just be the ultimate currency of happiness.
In a groundbreaking new initiative that has taken the state of Tripura by storm, the local government has declared a sweeping mandate: all citizens must utter at least one compliment every day, while truthfulness has been mercifully relegated to an optional status. This revolutionary approach is being hailed as the “Complimentary Revolution,” and officials claim it will boost morale, obliterate competition, and create a utopian society where flattery reigns supreme. At a lively press conference, Chief Minister Kumar G. praised the plan, assuring the public that “Praise is power!” while subtly downplaying the pesky pitfall of honesty. “Why be truthful when you can be charming?” he continued, demonstrating the true spirit of admiration that has become emblematic of this new regime. “Being fabulously complimented feels way better than knowing the bleak realities of life!” Residents have been seen enthusiastically engaging in this newfound culture of sycophancy, with families gathering for their daily “Praise Huddles” before breakfast. “It’s great for bonding!” exclaimed local resident Rita D., who has taken it upon herself to shower her dog with lavish compliments every morning. “Now, instead of barking up a storm, he sits quietly smiling as if he's accepting an Oscar!" The Intuition Committee of Tripura has even rolled out a mobile app called “Flattery 2.0,” where users get reminders for sly compliments, complete with a clipboard for tracking their daily affirmations. Users are encouraged to rate themselves based on their level of sincerity (which is, of course, ranked alongside self-flattery). “It's like being part of a competition, but nobody actually loses!” the app’s developer boasted proudly. Many residents have embraced the new dictum, although some skeptics remain. “Sure, I’ll tell my neighbor that his garden looks wonderful, but the truth is it resembles a jungle,” muttered exhibit A, who also added, “But if it stops him from crushing my car windshield, those compliments are worth it.” Moments later, he was seen composing a haiku dedicated to the beauty of synthetic lawns while discussing the merits of his neighbor’s lawn-mowing skills. Meanwhile, the education system has been revamped to reflect the new standards. Children are no longer being taught the classic lessons of honesty and integrity but are now required to compose essays titled "Why Grandma’s Cooking Deserves a Michelin Star" and "My Cat: The Unsung Hero of Household Décor." Reports have already emerged from third graders confidently asserting that their lunch tastes “like a five-star restaurant” even when packed with leftovers. Critics have been quickly silenced under the new legislation ensuring “Maximum Compliment Policy.” Those found guilty of providing honest feedback—defined as anything negative—can face fines up to five hundred rupees or cultural sensitivity training in the art of casual flattery. One outspoken journalist was last seen organizing a support group for “Complimenting Truthbreakers,” but there has been no confirmation of his release. As Tripura drives forward into this bright new future, residents around the country are watching keenly. “If they can pull this off, maybe it’s time to try something similar,” noted a politician from a neighboring state, “after all, it’s always better to soothe egos than to discuss setbacks!" The nation watches in awe as Tripura redefines reality, where the mantra is clear: Perhaps the truth is better left backstage, while praises take center stage in this beautifully dishonest, game of appearances.
