Here's @Dev_Fadnavis presenting the Aarey Colony Carshed case and how wetdreaming of moving it to Kanjurmarg is bringing hell for Mumbaikars.. And in mean time, I'm yet to hear what biodiversity is on the Aarey Carshed plot which will be "saved" by this move.

@shetty_athreya @Vrajpandit79 Indeed very tricky! Getting 2015 vibes.

Here's your First Look at #Monsoon2026 📣 Pls read full for details. Summary : 1) #Monsoon 2026 likely to be Below Normal, 90-96% Pan India. One core month (July/August) could be hit bad. 2) Early onset over #Andamans and #Keralam similar to 2025, but advance slows down once it reaches Maharashtra. 3) #ElNino and Positive #IOD emergence by June, both competing for influence by July. Implies season characterised by erratic Breaks, sudden heavy Revivals and significant Hyperlocal variablility. 4) #Maharashtra and #Gujarat could see Below Normal season as a whole, tho few extremely heavy flooding rainfall events will still occur. Worrisome news for Farmers 😞 5) One strong #Cyclone each in #ArabianSea and #BayofBengal possible late May - early June

@shetty_athreya Temperature chhodo, the min humidity at Vasai at 10% today! This is just 6.5km away from ocean.. 🔥

Those days when Maruti used to advertise their diesels.. found this flyer as I prepare to bid farewell to my first car - 2010 Swift. ☺️

@Ravisutanjani JioBP - petrol is great, diesel is awesome!

🚨 What's Your Preferred Fuel Pump? • Indian Oil • Shell • Jio-BP • Nayara • Bharat Petroleum • Hindustan Petroleum Many Believe Shell and Jio Offer Better Quality

HMV’s or LMV’s - I’m very worried about cars coasting in neutral down the missing link gradient and losing control! Katraj ghat dangers…

@RoadsOfMumbai When empty, we can play x & o on it. 🤪

99% of Mumbaikars won't even know the rule for this cross cross lane markings 🤣

.@PMOIndia please release three days from your busy schedule and do a full Mumbai Darshan Yatra covering every major road. For your safety and SPG protocol, we'll voluntarily hide in our homes with a total curfew like covid. We'll even bang thalis as celebration from our windows. Please just do it. There will be no traffic and BMC will be free to act on an Emergency scale. It is a win win. Ek din toh nai, lekin teen din me aap Mumbai ke Nayak. Sincere request sir. 🙏

@volklub Belkin spike guard is absolute gem! Handles electricity voltage fluctuation like a boss. Has saved my devices.

For all my electronic devices, phones, iPad, earphones, headphones, watch, wireless mic, gimbal and even my laptop, that I mostly plan to use for 4+ years, Spigen and Belkin are the charger brands I trust. I absolutely love Spigen covers too. X Tech wizards can help if something better exists in budget…

@gothburz Team has also evolved to give 4x the actual LOE and then establish messaging that AI has cut down time by 4x. I get a promotion for enhancing efficiency by AI enablement.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@shetty_athreya Vasai - this is inside my apartment!

And there we have it! As forecasted a week ago, #ColdWave intensifies in #MMR, as current #MumbaiWinter spell peaks! Coldest Min of season on 12/12 🥶📉 Badlapur 10.5°C Manor 11.3°C Palghar 11.5° Dombivli 12.4° Panvel 13.4° Mira road 13.6° Navi Mumbai 14° Vasai 14.3° Mumbai 14.9° Thane 15.7°

@shetty_athreya Temp chhodo.. RH went down to a bone dry 10% yesterday noon in Vasai - barely 2.5km away from sea!!! 🤯

#Koparkhairane down to 19°C just after 11pm 😃 Cold #Winter morning loading... #NaviMumbai

Oh dear - YES! Done that!

@volklub @volkswagenindia Same to same here! And it’s fit n fine and can still burn down track at 120+ kph! Dealers dont value it. I’m impractical enough to not give it away. 😅

@aamod @volkswagenindia Mostly an oxygen sensor issue. Keeping Polo as I like to drive manual sometimes.

My 13-year-old VW Polo. 1200cc MPI. 1.50 lakh km. This little car started what is today one of the biggest car-loving communities on X in India. Note: And yes, the iconic engine light still glows proudly 🫠

I don't see @OlectraEbus completing 4000 deliveries to @myBESTBus before 2032 going by their history It's time to place order of 1000-1500 CNG/diesel buses 1500 CNG buses are million times better than 0 electric buses. @Dev_Fadnavis @PratapSarnaik @mybmc @CMOMaharashtra

@darklordkk @volklub There’s simple trick that works best for me.. set aircon to highest heat possible and keep it for 5-10mins with windows rolled up. After that open windows. This destroys musty smell like nothing else can. Best is to keep car under blazing sun while doing this.

@volklub Good find. Ordered... You know anything that can be used to reduce the "musty" smell from AC vents that comes after switching off the AC during monsoons and winters? It usually requires a quick service, but a spray solution should work.

Ordered the Michelin Air Freshener Magical & surprising results. It’s not something you just place inside the car and expect instant odour removal. The working is different. How to use it: ✅ Spray it for 5–6 seconds. Prefer stepping out quickly because the smell is strong initially. ✅ Switch on the AC for 4–5 minutes with air circulation ON. ✅ Open the front doors for 30–40 seconds to release the gas. ✅ After that, a very mild lime/aqua-like smell remains, which eliminates any bad odour. The product claims to kill bacteria on the roof lining and floor mats too, and ideally it’s meant for one-time use. One-time use makes sense especially after a long trip when food smell and other foul odours build up inside the cabin. This post isn’t sponsored. I purchased it on Amazon, and the affiliate link is shared below. It’s a good product because the fragrance isn’t overpowering and it comes from a reputed brand.

@ShivamVahia As me & @akshaywcam1 always wonder - ye commies nahate kyu nahi? 🫢 😜

Why are commies ALWAYS so ugly? I mean, if Sydney Sweeney promotes Naxalism, I'll at least pause for a second, appreciate the beauty, and then pull the trigger. In reality, you look at these naxals and wonder how they survive their own stench.

@Trendulkar Yes sir! 🙌🏼

Anyone here from the batch of 2009?

@dipan_aj @volklub @SkodaIndia And also the active cylinder tech thing of switching off 2 cylinders. :)

@volklub @SkodaIndia Achieved something wild today — on a short highway stretch using cruise control in my Slavia 1.5 DSG, the MID touched 34 km/l! 😳 And after a proper 30 km run, it settled at a solid 24 km/l. That TSI + DSG combo is pure efficiency magic when the road opens up. 🚗✨

Skoda Slavia - Performance with excellent fuel efficiency ✅ Achieved 20.9 kmpl from 1.0 TSI Automatic, 3 on board with luggage. 20% traffic, 80% neat route, 35 psi - Ludhiana - Amritsar - Ludhiana (4 tolls) 😔 Pulled like a rocket during overtakes, extremely comfortable & silent at 70-90 kmph otherwise. Sedan are sedans…So good to have one in my garage.

@shetty_athreya Temperature chhodo, humidity was a nose bleeding 20% 😂 😅

Hope yall enjoyed this extended #MumbaiWinter cold snap since last 10 days! Temps to gradually go on the up from tomorrow #MMR Min on 18/11 Manor 13°C Ulhasnagar 14° Dombivli 15.3° Navi Mumbai & Panvel 15.6° Dahanu 15.8° Chembur & Vasai 16.8° Thane 17° Mumbai 17.4°
