@GabbbarSingh For some reason cold Maggi in tiffin tasted divine back then
English

For some reason Poori-Aalu in a lunchbox tastes far better than the same served in a plate. After a few hours in the tiffin box, in times of darkness, like humans, the pooris unite & stick to each other. And then when you open the box, you have to peel off one poori from the other. Then you look for that spice laden Aalu to pick up. It isn’t hot anymore, yet Hunger is the secret ingredient that makes it tastier.
Often the Aalu gets over while there’r still couple of pooris left, blame it on the super jeera aalu or the capacity of the tiffin. You get a bit sad, then suddenly you lift the last poori up, and Voila! you find it. A slobbery slice of mango pickle. You thought it isn’t there, but then it shows up, beneath the bottom poori smearing its base. 🥲

Love marriage sex sounds romantic until reality hits...
You chased her for 2-3 years, had crazy passionate sex before marriage… then 6 months after wedding it becomes scheduled, duty sex with lights off and ‘jaldi karo, subah office hai’.
The same girl who rode you like a pornstar now says ‘I’m tired’ every night.

@protagonist_xig She's the one who posted about melodi during the last trip
English

The “Melody toffee” joke was used as a slang for Modi + Meloni as a COUPLE.
Giorgia Meloni is MARRIED.
She is a HEAD OF STATE.
Narendra Modi is “separated.”
He is a HEAD OF STATE.
And yet he chose to AMPLIFY a “romantic meme” about a WOMAN in POWER.
It’s NOT cute.
It’s NOT funny.
It’s NOT diplomacy.
It’s cheap, disrespectful, and deeply MISOGYNISTIC.

@iamankitpande Did you have to show your portfolio to prove IHCL share ownership or did he take your word?
Also who doesn't book beforehand in today's day and age?
English

I accidentally discovered a hidden Taj Hotels benefit that saved me ₹6,000 in less than 2 minutes.
A few months ago, I walked into Taj Palace Mumbai just to enquire about room prices.
I wasn’t even planning to book a room.
I just wanted to see what staying there actually costs.
The staff showed me a room priced at around ₹24,000 for one night.
Honestly, the moment I heard the price, I internally decided there was no way I was paying that much for a hotel room.
Then during the conversation, I casually mentioned that I own 1 share of IHCL.
The guy at the counter immediately asked, “Sir, would you like to use shareholder benefits?”
For a second I thought he was talking about some premium membership.
I told him I only had one share.
He smiled and said, “That’s enough.”
Within minutes he recalculated the fare.
The final amount was almost 25% lower.
Around ₹6,000 cheaper.
I genuinely stood there wondering how millions of people investing in stocks never talk about benefits like this.
Most people only discuss stock prices going up and down.
Nobody talks about the hidden perks attached to some companies.
Later I told a few friends about it.
None of them believed me initially.
Now almost all of them own IHCL shares and use the discount whenever they travel.
What’s one hidden perk or benefit that sounds fake but is actually real?

@sabeer You probably weren't doing it for the first time
Maybe they were

One thing I noticed during the ice plunge challenge in India - too much drama. While I sat calmly in ice-cold water for over 10 minutes, some kids started loudly shivering the moment they stepped in. That same emotional overreaction seeps into politics and public discourse. The real issues get lost in the theatrics.

@Lonely_prabh See beyond her looks
She's pretty good at her job
English

@AdriftGypsy Sai is a much better actress than Kriti... She is not even close to Sai's shadow when it comes to acting.
English

The biggest ever miscast in an Indian movie !!
What was the director thinking when he cast Kriti Sanon in the role of Sita Mata?
She did not match the description of Mother Sita(as per Ramayana) at all.
And what was the intention behind showing Sita mata in a s*xually bold manner in the movie?
Adipurush is like a dustbin, There was nothing good in that movie.

@aparanjape Hope they start hourly intercity train between pune and Mumbai
That'll ease traffic like anything
English

A long (25+ km) tunnel is being planned for the Mumbai - Pune - Hyderabad HSR (bullet train) route to cross the Border Ghat area.
Such a long tunnel is needed to keep the gradient low (around 2 percent).
We should simultaneously build a parallel tunnel for regular (semi high speed) rail traffic as well. This is critical for regular intercity service between Pune and Mumbai and intermediate towns.
We should explore if building this tunnel along with the HSR tunnel can help us in reducing costs, efforts?

I recently did a startup pitching event in Delhi in an ice-cold bath. Founders had to pitch while battling freezing water, stress and time pressure. Maybe every politician in India should go through the same exercise. Only then might we hear unfiltered truth instead of rehearsed talking points.
