With power, comes an attitude and it makes you think that you know everything. No matter whether you are a PM, CM, or a director of an institute. They think now it's their fundamental right to exploit weaker section of the society. It is so disgusting.

@ICICIBank_Care Why are you making my life hard? Is it that difficult to close an account?

@ICICIBank_Care Please do not try to reach me on my phone. I have made up my mind. Just close all my accounts and stop irritating me.

@ICICIBank @ICICIBank_Care First of all, you have processed some information without my permission. Due to this behavior, I decided to close all my accounts with you. And now you're giving me a hard time closing the accounts.

@ICICIBank_Care I wish more people would see this level of professionalism and make better choices.

@ICICIBank_Care Today, I received several emails from you. One is asking me to fill out another form, which I already filled out and shared with you several times. Another saying, again the same thing, that you are trying to reach me on my INDIAN number, which does not work. And the last one...

@ICICIBank_Care saying, my request (only God knows which one) has been processed. Given all this, you still have the courtesy to make statements like "You may be aware that we are trusted by lakhs of satisfied customers."

@ICICIBank_Care No. You do not. You do not understand basic English. I sent a signed Form 50 along with a copy of my passport to care and nri@icici.bank.in. Please check and close my account asap.

@quantumsapien Hello, we completely understand your frustration, and we never intended for this to happen. We'll connect you soon to discuss this further. Sincerely, Team ICICI Bank

I just want to close all my accounts with you. Why is it so difficult to process?

In this information age, how can you be so inefficient? I ask for help and get a reply after 2 days. Every time, it is some random guy, and I have to repeat the story again. It is so irritating.

Hello Friends, Well-wishers 🙋‍♂️ Alt News needs your help.

Alt News is ₹10 lakh short of breaking even this financial year. We need 2,000 people to donate ₹500 each before March 31. That's 6 days. Fighting misinformation isn't like putting out a fire. There's no moment when it's done. It's a fact-check every morning, a verification every afternoon, documentation of hate speech that nobody else is recording - day after day, year after year, for nine years. We don't take ads. We don't have sponsors. We have readers. Donate before March 31! pages.razorpay.com/altnews If not you, who? If not now, when?

Blown away by the expanse of research, history of humanity vs the TB bacteria, and the present (scarily abysmal) state of India’s TB policy. @VidyaKrishnan has packed so much rigor and heart in this easy and yet unsettling read. Highly recommended.

Hello friends! Citizens Generic Drugs vs Branded Drugs Quality Project: Results of all 131 drugs analysed, and the complete, original, quality test reports of all drugs are now available for your review and reading here at: meshindia.org/citizens-gener… There are two links right at the bottom of the webpage where you can download the Excel sheet and full compiled PDF. Also the full scientific paper of this study is now in peer review. Thanks again to all who contributed🫂

Our work with JB was covered beautifully by @RGSustain1 Their collection of short films/videos is a powerful tool & treasurehouse for science communication. Researchers must collaborate with such agencies for science to reach public. It must be a mandate of funding agencies.

I have a postdoctoral position for one year. Anyone who has expertise (working knowledge) in formal aspects of QFT may write to me if interested.

@minivets @somanathan_hema @BEElab_iisertvm @mothersinsci I see. Thanks Manjari :)

@quantumsapien @somanathan_hema @BEElab_iisertvm @mothersinsci I believe, it should help others and not yourself. The hope is that fellows will mentor others and shape the future of science and science policy in India and not merely use it as a decoration in their CVs.

Fantastic news! So richly deserved. Prof. Hema @somanathan_hema @BEElab_iisertvm is an exceptionally talented and rigorous scientist, a nurturing mentor & an empowering & enabling friend. Indian science & #Academia is richer with people like her. #WomenInScience @mothersinsci
