Almost every learning curve 😀 A colleague shared this. Such a smart addition to a product. Sets the expectation and gives hope.

@raggedtag Or it is friction by-design to reduce support overload.

@raggedtag Not being able to easily find customer care on Amazon honestly feels like a dark pattern. It shouldn’t take effort to get help.

Amazon UI/UX is usually very good but some things have gone kapur. I cannot cancel a return without an error. There is no way to contact customer care not just call but even chatbot.

@raggedtag Buy gold and acres and acres of land.

@Sharanyashettyy @sreemoytalukdar How's the latest season?

@sreemoytalukdar It is fantastic.

Caught the first episode of The Morning Show on Apple TV. Gripping.

Some days you can’t love social media enough. This is one of those days. It began like this. Someone stole 12 tons of KitKats. And then the replies started coming in. Scroll down.

Unsharpened pencils, Brown M&Ms and what they say about something (much) bigger Over the last few weeks I have attended two committee meetings at five star hotel conference rooms. Both hotels dutifully provided a writing pad and a pencil at every seat. One even doing it in a whole leather get up. BUT in both places I realised that my pencil had zero or nothing left to write with. It needed sharpening. I looked around and it was the same for everyone around. It reminded me of this story of a 1980's Rock band called Van Halen. Whenever the band went anywhere for the concert, as soon as they checked into the hotel they looked at the Jar of M&Ms (these are like our childhood Cadbury Gems) in their rooms to check if it had any brown sweets. Why? Because their contract specified that the Jar of M&Ms in the room should not have any brown ones. Sounds like typical entitled star behaviour. But was it? Not really. The band manager later explained that this was a checkpoint for them. If the brown sweets were still there, it meant that nobody had read through their detailed specifications carefully! In which case there might be anything wrong from stage safety to the sound systems. They would then do a detailed check of everything even if it delayed the concert. It was something like a canary in the coal mine kind of test. Coming back to the unsharpened pencils. This is a classic case of lack of attention to the details and or lack of a proper checklist and training. Something like this makes you think of where else in the hotel are corners being cut? What is the level of hygiene in the kitchens? Or in the cleaning of rooms and bathrooms? Are drinking water glasses being handled with clean hands? Having a leather desk set is easy. Making sure the pencils are sharpened really shows what you are about! @ITCHotels @HiltonMumbai

I am going to pretend that I don’t know the viral chinese corgi story was a fake. You pretend too. It is a pact. Nobody needs to discuss it.

Bangalore ends up delivering much lower than its potential in terms of quality of living, productivity and achievements - if only it was better organised, cleaner.

@Sharanyashettyy @ActorMadhavan Much before that a small role of Ashley in Banaegi Apni baat. He was already noticed in that

You really don’t know TV or movies, right? I mean, to say that Madhavan became famous because of 3 Idiots is, I’m sorry, pardon my language, peak ignorance. @ActorMadhavan was the crush of women since the “Zara Zara” days and also the ideal ghar jamai for TV viewers.

@nitinwelde exactly this 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

@bimsbin Ha ha ha. Sorry sir aapko Dekh ke laga aap black wale uncle honge 😜😜

- Long ago when multiplex and Online booking wasn’t available. - Those days for a house full show we got tickets in black. There was a system in place there too. You keep loitering around the parking lot and then from No where you see some approaching you. - He then comes close to your ear and a short conversation occurs. - You walk with him into an isolated corner and the deal is done. - A ticket would cost you more but you still got to see the movie. - If this system went for Dhurandhar2 , how much would the ticket cost and how much would people be willing to Pay. PS: please don’t raise the ethical issue about black marketing etc etc. For that we shall have another tweet 😜😜

@nitinwelde Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, ticket prices were around ₹25 to ₹40, while black tickets would go for ₹70 to ₹100. Paid ₹80 for Dil Toh Pagal hai in Mangala- 1st row.

@nitinwelde Neelayam, Mangala, and Alka- this “system” so many times! 😄 Once, a friend and I were so desperate for tickets that we mistook the parking supervisor for a black marketeer… and ended up thoroughly embarrassed.

Hit me with the craziest Bengaluru history facts you know. @peakbengaluru @slangaluru @phalgooon @kripalamanna @vasanthihari @NammaBengaluroo #bengaluru

@Sharanyashettyy I loved it and recommended it to friends. It worked brilliantly for some but not as much for others. A few episodes reaaaally stand out and performances by Bryan Cranston and Catherine O'Hara make it worth watching.

@bimsbin Enjoyed platonic. Studio the first episode didn't catch me. Its good?

Besides Dhurandhar, what else are you guys up to this weekend? I need a couple of recommendations for new releases only. Ps: I'm up to date with my fave, Shrinking, and I'm done with all her fault show.

@Sharanyashettyy And surprisingly not getting called out. And surprisingly the vice versa is not the same.

Is the no open support to your husband's best, history making cinema to protect your brand or to ensure the movie is not mired by any negative publicity? Am confused.

@Sharanyashettyy Wondering the same since the first part

@raggedtag Remember him from Tara (Zee) as well. That “ABCD....A Boy Called Danny” line was funny back then.

My first memories of #RakeshBedi are #YeJoHaiZindagi and #ChashmeBaddur as a kid. Then innumerable TV shows and movies sidey roles. And now in middle age, we discover his true depth! #Dhurandhar #JameelJamali
