Any update? @MMVD_RTO The scammers there are not providing anything

@MMVD_RTO My application (177000826) for international driving permit has been pending at RTO side for a while now. Please advise what should I do?

@Tea_Lover25 @KesariDhwaj So?

@Aravind94 @KesariDhwaj Are bhai kya subsidizee ho raha hai yahan..koi biryani nahin kha raha tumhare tax ke paise se

- The absolute stupidity. - First, the GOI asks for exorbitant terms from bidders for the airport development and ops rights. - Winner will setup the infra and hope to recoup the cost through air-side and city-side development. - Retailers pay though their nose to lease space and charge accordingly. - But in the end - the same government comes and opens a shop undermining other retail operators who've established their business through a fair process.

@xrishna7dev @Tea_Lover25 @KesariDhwaj You can drink by paying the original cost. Your drink doesn't need to be subsidised by taxpayer money

@Aravind94 @Tea_Lover25 @KesariDhwaj But I want to drink If you will really just lowball everything then even airport isn't essential we can live without them

@Tea_Lover25 @KesariDhwaj Bare minimum is free drinking water which is already available. Government should stop using tax payer money to subsidize other things.

@Aravind94 @KesariDhwaj In India it is. Water bottle, a hot beverage and something to eat is bare minimum. Govt has done the right thing to make these things available at a cheaper price. But this menu should not be increased.

@kundu_prashant @Tea_Lover25 @KesariDhwaj Nope. Don't lie to yourself. These are not necessities. Also, free drinking water is available

@Aravind94 @Tea_Lover25 @KesariDhwaj In our country a hot beverage like tea and bottled water is like a necessity. Just for the energy for the travel itself.

@Tea_Lover25 @KesariDhwaj Not everyone needs to drink tea at an airport. It is not an essential service

@KesariDhwaj While this is not the right approach, however you need to understand that everybody can't pay 200-300 for a cup of tea. I think it's a good initiative. But the Govt need to ensure that the menu of udan yatri cafe remains limited. So that business of other cafes should not hamper

@RishiJoeSanu It doesn't even need to be metropolises. But a lot of single family homes and sustainability don't belong in the same conversation

No, it's the opposite. If Kerala actually cared about sustainable development then it would have built dense walkable metropolises and connected them with an HSR line instead of a coastal highway in the most car brained state in India with an environmentally destructive suburban sprawl. Kerala is a thick rainforest. You can wreck large swathes of land with a sprawl and still swindle non-Malayali normies into believing that we are doing a favor to our biosensitive flora.

@LOyovwi @CharlesEhimika @MrWills96 Intelligent people work with facts, not 'opinions'. Facts show that Messi has had a far superior career to Maradona, even though both are the best of their generation

@CharlesEhimika @MrWills96 I wanted to elucidate my point further. But last sentence shows weakness. Intelligent people give opinion without abusive words. So, please thank you for your time. Let's end it here. I appreciate your time.

🚨🚨Who is better... Messi or Maradona? 🤔 🗣️ Italian legend Alessandro Costacurta: "I faced Messi when he was only 16 years old. At first, I thought he was just a kid — I could do whatever I wanted. But after 15 minutes, I had to ask Ancelotti to substitute me." I was lucky to have played against Messi and Diego Maradona. They are similar in their genius and the way they express themselves on the field, but Messi is a greater genius than Maradona. The difference is, we could commit 66 fouls against Maradona before getting a card. But with Lionel, it's different. Football in the Messi era is something else entirely."

@anujonchain Even this might be wrong 🤣🤣🤣

@Parakite4 @Vivek_Jain5 @DefenceBrat Won't happen as long as these people are paid by tax payers' money. Privatisation is the only solution

@Vivek_Jain5 @DefenceBrat You don't have to privitize Just remove reservations And make it possible to fire people on bad performance/corruption

Being a lawyer, what if I tell you that India has so many absurd laws that can be pulled out of thin air the moment you refuse to pay authorities out of pocket? Let me share one example: any signboard; including the one outside your office displaying your company’s name; requires permission from the Skysign / Licensing and Hoarding Department under the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act. Isn’t that unreasonable? What’s even more interesting is that this department often doesn’t have functional staff at the moment in the PMC office; and I know for sure that all PMC offices around city themselves have not taken formally any permission for the boards outside their own premises. Now do you really think Panchsheel would have taken permission for this particular signboard? The answer is no; they haven’t. Nobody takes this permission. But because the law exists, it can be invoked against you at any time if you go against them; and they can even demolish your structure. Ironically, this particular board is also technically illegal as it occupies footpath space. But nothing will happen; because it belongs to big names. Now you know why I keep saying that India is one of the hardest countries to do business in unless you’re corrupt. @PMCPune @punekarnews

Issue of heavy public smoking occurring regularly during peak office hours near Capital Building in Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai. This is causing significant discomfort to pedestrian users. Requesting concerned authorities to take prompt action. @MumbaiPolice @mybmchealth

@Shankarkochi @SiddharthKG7 You might be very smart, but it's not at all easy for a normal person to learn a completely new language. If that feels like disrespect to you, maybe you have to work on yourself

@SiddharthKG7 It is good to have a connecting language. But the problem is hindi speaking people never give respect to other languages or try to learn even in non hindi speaking states. 2 days back I saw a hindi doctor in Kochi. After living here 3 years she is unable to speak malayalam

Heard in a podcast yesterday that our leaders carefully avoided any consciousness of “Hindi Nationalism”. They were afraid that this huge organism will dominate & subsume every other consciousness. With all due respect, that anyway was not the point of Hindi by its makers. Hindi was going to be a working language with all people of India. Not to make them forget their own language, but just to communicate with non-natives. The political connotations came later. The laziness of North to respect Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu also played a role in negative interpretations of Hindi usage. Nevertheless, there is no need for any more such type of “nationalism” in India. What we need is Industrialisation on ground and Morality in hearts of people.

@ShashiTharoor @CMOKerala What is a person from Turkey called? England? 'Keralite' can stay

All to the good, no doubt, but a small linguistic question for the Anglophones among us: what happens now to the terms “Keralite” and “Keralan” for the denizens of the new “Keralam”? “Keralamite” sounds like a microbe and “Keralamian” like a rare earth mineral…! @CMOKerala might want to launch a competition for new terms resulting from this electoral zeal: livemint.com/news/india/uni…

@RainnMount @rishabhm 😱

@rishabhm If you want to see a road more straight than this? Search Suratgarh to Ganganagar.

I drove from Jodhpur to Bikaner a couple of years ago. On this route is NH754A - From Jamnagar to Amritsar. This is basically a straight line. There are stretches where you don't even turn the wheel a cm on either side and keep going straight for 10s of KMs. Total length ~1200KM. No prizes for guessing what this "runway" far from the India-China border is for.

These scavengers' salaries need to be taken off the burden of the tax payers. Private sector can handle most of these services much better. #Bureaucracy #GovernmentServices #TaxPayerMoney #Inefficiency #Privatization #AdministrativeReform @MMVD_RTO @Aaple_Sarkar

By the way, did I mention that the list of documents is nowhere mentioned in official websites? We either have to guess or depend on agents.

I've realised one thing. The government services here are not just inefficient, but they're somehow proud of their inefficiencies.
