@cbdhage Shekhar, the Kothrud Pashan tunnel alignment appears to bypass Panchavati area and run all the way under to open up directly onto Pashan road near IISER. Is this accurate? If yes, then the opposition of Panchavati residents will evaporate.

PMC plans two tunnels in Budget 2026-27. 1.Hingane-Taljai Hill (750 M) 2.Kothrud-Pashan (Under Panchvati Hill ) (3000 M ) #Pune

@GabbbarSingh Do ensure you shed such crocodile tears for the Unnao victim too. Oh but wait, that is in your a$$ licking BJP ruled state. So no tears....

Wherever she went to campaign, people came out, hugged and cried. She promised to not comb her hair, until she defeated this tyrannical govt. What a story!

Ratna Debnath, the mother of the RG kar victim, wins. Biggest Victory of the Bengal Elections.

@chandrarsrikant Chandra, just because you work for Ambani's channel, do you need to show such crass prejudice? Also, this person (Dehadrai) has openly mistreated @MahuaMoitra. Do you have to prove right the adage that 'a woman is the worst enemy of another woman'? Stick with business news.

It is crazy that I see this picture and know the context 😂😂

@RShivshankar Clearly, Amit Shah was SO CONFIDENT because they knew that after rigging the elections, they will not lose. This supreme confidence is a total giveaway.

REMEMBER THIS? HM Amit Shah during election campaign. 4 मई को सुबह काउंटिंग चालू होगी, 8 बजे बैलेट बॉक्स खुलेगा, 9 बजे पहला राउंड, 10 बजे दूसरा राउंड और 1 बजे दीदी….टाटा बाय-बाय

@keshavupadhye ह्या YZ उपाध्येला आत टाका आधी, selfie घ्यायला हरामखोर थांबला Missing Link वर @suchetadalal @MahaDGIPR

धन्यवाद देवेंद्रजी! दोन दिवसांपूर्वीच उद्घाटन झालेल्या मिसिंग लिंकवरून आज प्रवास करण्याचा योग आला आणि खरंच हा रस्ता म्हणजे आधुनिक तंत्रज्ञानाचा अप्रतिम नमुना आहे. सुरक्षित, वेगवान आणि अत्यंत सुटसुटीत असा हा अनुभव मनात कायमचा कोरला गेला. मा. देवेंद्रजींच्या दूरदृष्टीपूर्ण नेतृत्वाखाली महाराष्ट्र झपाट्याने बदलतोय. विकासाला नवी गती मिळत आहे. मुंबई–नागपूर समृद्धी महामार्ग, मुंबई कोस्टल रोड, विविध शहरांमध्ये विस्तारत असलेली मेट्रो आणि आता हा मिसिंग लिंक या सर्व प्रकल्पांमुळे महाराष्ट्राची एक आधुनिक, प्रगत आणि जागतिक स्तरावर ठसठशीत ओळख निर्माण होत आहे. विकासाच्या या वाटचालीत प्रत्येक प्रकल्प हा केवळ पायाभूत सुविधा नसून, तो नव्या महाराष्ट्राच्या स्वप्नांची साकार प्रतिमा आहे. @Dev_Fadnavis @RaviDadaChavan #MissingLink #DevendraFadnavis #MaharashtraDevelopment #Infrastructure #Progress #InfraMan #नवामहाराष्ट्र #विकास #समृद्धी #Metro #CoastalRoad

@nitingokhale Certainly, वाचतो. आपण सुद्धा Caravan मधील Galvan वरील अतिशय detailed आणि balanced story वाचली असेलच

@JohnBook354 2020 ते 2024 मधले माझे रिपोर्ट आधी बघा व वाचा. तेव्हा बोलूया.

Everyone and his चाचा now has an opinion on the Andaman Nicobar islands and the Great Nicobar Island development project but we have had a relentless focus on this vital region for years: my colleagues, led by @amitabhprevi have done an excellent series spending three weeks there covering the ANI from North to South. Take a look: youtube.com/playlist?list=…

@GabbbarSingh I am looking for a button to mute the BJP ass-licking you are indulging in....

Is there a button on your remote to selectively mute Preeti Choudhary and watch the broadcast?

@nirvanabliss75 @godbole_shilpa No, I am not here for anything else. I am just pointing out the irony of what you said. Sad that you can't digest it.

@JohnBook354 @godbole_shilpa Serious and dignified conversation is what I look for. Clearly you are here for something else. Have a good life

What has Brahmanical culture got to do with pronouncing “ण” as “ण”?
Pune in Marathi is पुणे .. it can’t suddenly acquire a “न” because it’s convenient. Hindi itself uses “ण” like in “करण.” So when locals insist on correct pronunciation, how does that become casteism? If you travel abroad, mispronounce a word & a local corrects you do you call that hierarchy, or just basic respect for a language? And BTW this isn’t coming from nowhere. The same author has argued that parrots in Pune’s skies are evidence of caste privilege, because certain surnames (Sane, Oak, Joshi, Bapat… you see the pattern) had better access to land, planning & greenery. At some point, everything starts looking like caste privilege if that’s your main goal.

@aca5057e05a441b @godbole_shilpa I gave you an example of Narendra and Narinder. You conveniently kept silent on that. The plain fact is your incompetence is cloaked in caste-victimhood, nothing else.

@JohnBook354 @godbole_shilpa Please don't give me an example of British. Ours is very diverse culture...

@GabbbarSingh Actually, those who *got* the alert - beware. The sinister home minister knows you. Asthana - looks like you got the alert. You are so screwed.

Those who didn't receive an alert today should work harder. Govt thinks it's okay to let you go during a disaster. Sad.

@GabbbarSingh So, shall we visit your retirement home .... to smell old age? 🤣😂

@nirvanabliss75 @godbole_shilpa Firstly, a joke isn't supposed to be logical. 2ndly, it is rich coming from you, who is using the word प्रमाण to support an argument that using ण is 'casteist'. Now isn't that a joke.

@JohnBook354 @godbole_shilpa Not a very logical 'joke' , also is casteist

@nirvanabliss75 @godbole_shilpa why not call it प्रमान भाषा 😂

@godbole_shilpa Saying something is 'correct pronunciation' itself is peshwai brahmin privilege. That inherently means others are incorrect. But the words used more often are shuddh and ashuddh reeking of casteist tones. That's why the politically correct word is प्रमाण भाषा and not शुद्ध भाषा

@aca5057e05a441b @godbole_shilpa This is not casteism - this is the insistence to use proper pronunciation - which the British also insist on - in that case, what does it become? Racism? If my name is नरेन्द्र and I insist you don't call me नरिंदर, is that casteism?

@godbole_shilpa More than half of locals use 'न' instead of 'ण' in multiple instances and other half (of brhamincal culture) always try to correct them. This is casteism...I have experienced it...You might have experienced if you would be in first half.

@godbole_shilpa Well in Hindi करण becomes करन. They can't get the ण right. So, केळं becomes केला in Hindi.But our southern cousins (Kannadiga) certainly have the ळ as well as the ण.... हर्दनहळ्ळी is what makes up the H in H D Devegouda, and अण्णा is elder brother. Nothing 'brahminical' about it.

@sabeer @anindianonearth Sabeer Did you go to all the regular Camp haunts... Marzorin, Kayanis....and Dorabjees etc.

@anindianonearth Bishops

To those obsessed with identity and preserving labels—I was born in Chandigarh, raised in Pune and Bengaluru. Does that make me “one of you”? Or does it prove identity is a box we choose to live in?

@chandrarsrikant And you're the one constantly reporting how AI will 'deflate' Indian IT ... hard to live in the 'present' when media constantly yelling how we all will be out of a job soon

An old schoolmate liked one of my LinkedIn posts recently. We hadn't spoken for years, so I checked his profile to see what he’s up to now. That sent me down a rabbit hole- scrolling through profiles of classmates I’m no longer in touch with. We’re all connected in some form: Facebook, LinkedIn,common Google group email id(which hasn't been used for years), a WhatsApp group… but you know how that goes. Anyway, what struck me was how well everyone is doing. While some were always the studious, ambitious types, many were carefree, up to mischief, constantly playing street cricket, sneaking off to watch movies and getting yelled at. They were often called “hopeless”, with teachers sometimes mocking them as "outstanding" (always standing outside the class because they were behind on assignments). And yet, these kids from ordinary, middle-class families who seemed beyond redemption, are now directors, consultants, top engineers at world-class companies. It gave me hope. At a time when we constantly worry about AI taking away everything we've worked on for years, I’d like to believe life has a way of sorting itself out. Call me an inveterate optimist, but maybe we shouldn’t let fear of the future steal the joy of the present. On that slightly preachy note, have a lovely long weekend everyone!

@finkrishna Krishna you are pretty bitter about your past employers i must say...

Absolute beast Quality of management — Apple and Alphabet Both above $110 bn and growing 17% and 22% Sad that our geniuses with cash ran out ideas so early in their existence
