Neeraj Chopra almost didn't happen. Not because of corruption. Not because of incompetence. Because of a file that in summer noon of 2011 could have gone upward, a committee that could have met, and a season that could have passed. One official decided instead. Same afternoon. No precedent. No committee. Rs 1 lakh for javelins. Refer. Defer. Wait. He didn't. The boys were practising by the evening at Panchkula athletic track. They did so there for next five years before moving to more competitive circuits. One of them did exceptionally well. India got an #Olympic gold. We blame governance failure on corrupt officials. Or incompetent ones. There is a third failure — the honest, competent official who has learned that deciding is more dangerous than not deciding. Kahneman showed people feel losses twice as powerfully as gains. The status quo is the system's default — and the official's shelter. The harm of his action is traceable to him. The harm of his silence is traceable to no one. So he refers. Defers. Performs just enough to stay invisible. I call it rational abdication. 
It is costing India more than corruption ever did. And it can be fixed by making inaction visible and bonafide mistakes absorbable. Read my article in #Dailyworld The Neeraj Chopra story is the lucky version. You have been that citizen whose file went upward and never came back. What was yours? Tell me. ⬇️ #RationalAbdication #Governance #NeerajChopra

@officialepfo, SIRR, would you kindly arrange a time machine for me to pass this check?

Many people online are flinching on this large round. The argument is that the protein category is not large enough. But the whole truth is that they’re a truth platform, their surface area far exceeds protein alone. I was discussing this with a friend, if I had to buy from a brand for my future kid, the only brand that I buy from without anxiety would be TWT. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they come up with a line of baby food products in the next 12 months

To Dalit brothers and sisters, I do not deny atrocities. I have seen them with my own eyes when I was a child. I have seen Dalits living on the outskirts of our village. I have heard derogatory words like chooda and chamaar being used openly for them. I remember that when they visited others’ homes, they were made to sit on the floor. At that age, I did not fully understand what was happening, but with time, I understood how deeply unjust it was. I condemn such treatment in the strongest possible terms; it is inhuman, crude, and shameful. Anyone who practices or supports such behaviour today deserves severe punishment. At the same time, it is also true that the overwhelming majority of present-day GC and OBC families neither practice nor support such discrimination. And the system, in its quest to overcorrect, has created a structure that by default treats every GC/OBC individual as casteist criminal unless proven otherwise, which is also unfair. One cannot morally or rationally justify harassing the present generation for injustices committed in the past. Holding people accountable for actions they neither committed nor endorsed converts the struggle against historical injustice into a new form of injustice. Historical wrongs must be acknowledged and corrected through institutional reform, equal opportunity, and restoration of dignity, not through social revenge that sustains perpetual hostility instead of reconciliation. This is why I support the Atrocities Act but oppose the absence of provisions against misuse. Punish those who commit crimes, but ensure that innocents are not targeted as a form of revenge. The same applies to UGC regulations. That is the basis of the opposition.

Real reason behind the engineering marvel Mira-Bhayander flyover in Mumbai. This deserves to go viral till it reaches the authorities & punish the culprit. Very well exposed 👏 @digitalindianyt

@vijayshekhar @Paytm FIX YOUR CX. They don't care, don't respond neither to chat nor @Paytmcare . My biggest reason to switch away from paytm money.

What are your two suggestions for us, at @Paytm for 2025? Happy new year in advance.

"I'm sorry, we are experiencing difficulties. Please call back at a later time" - 1912 @pvvnlghaziabad Bro, we are also experiencing difficulties. No sleep. Thanks to your super service.

It's 2AM, super hot night and no electricity for 2 hours. @pvvnlghaziabad has no customer support. Still fighting for basic stuff. A looong way to go. @myogioffice @UPGovt

@VFSGlobal visa services are so bad, my respect for Indian institutions has sky rocketed! While our institutions are constantly improving and embracing digital, they are stuck in pre-digital era.

Is there a worse health insurance service than @HDFCERGOGIC 🥲? They have been making me go in circles just to get my spouse added to the policy. I think govt docs are easier to update nowadays. Wish Apollo Munich didn't sell themselves to @HDFCERGOGIC

This is a picture taken right after the Kerala team won the volleyball gold in the National Games in Gujarat. And therein lies a story. Not one of the players you see had been picked to play for Kerala by the local association.

Short Story: 🧵 Near wonderla exit in #Bengaluru - Mysuru road, there existed a valley system (flow directions indicated below). Few irrigation tanks were also there in the valley (marked in blue). 1/n

Had such a poor experience with @MilkCountry in BLR. No delivery & no refund 😓

When it's my turn for the on-call

Looks like someone needs a lesson in Privacy vs Transparency. @HDFC_Bank being "open" in all wrong ways... open with customer PII and closed with fees & charges.

The struggle is real

@akshayjohri Hope so

Kya Pata jhooth hi bol diya ho
