I know what’s more more f***** up This guy’s hideous actions or the pathetic ‘consequences’ he’s facing as per the law

Something small happened on my flight yesterday. IndiGo flight. Sitting next to a guy, well put together, well dressed. The kind of person you’d point to and say “educated, aware.” He finishes his snack. Looks at the trash in his hand. And places it on the floor under the seat in front. Not accidentally. Deliberately. The cabin crew came through for trash collection. Did their job perfectly. Collected from everyone’s hands, every tray table. The stuff on the floor, easy to miss from that angle, stayed. We landed. His cups and food box were still sitting there on the aircraft floor. And I just sat with this feeling I couldn’t quite name. It wasn’t anger. It was something closer to disappointment. Or maybe exhaustion. Because we’ve been having this conversation about civic sense in India for decades now. And nothing moves. Here’s what I’ve come to believe. It’s not an awareness problem. It’s not an education problem. It’s not even an income problem. It’s a “whose problem is it” problem. Most people in India have unconsciously decided that shared spaces, flights, roads, parks, footpaths, are not their responsibility. Someone is paid to clean it. Someone will handle it. Me? I’m just passing through. And that mindset is exactly where the problem begins. Because civic sense isn’t just about what you do. It’s about what you normalize. Every time someone litters and nobody reacts, the bar drops a little lower. Every time someone cleans up after themselves in a space nobody’s watching, the bar rises. We are all, quietly, setting the standard for each other. Choose the standard you want to live in.

Cody Roberts filmed himself chasing a 9-month old female wolf on a snowmobile, laughing at her terror & exhaustion, repeatedly hitting her. He duct-taped her mouth, brought her to a bar. For hours, people took photos as she bled to death. Then he shot her. 2 yrs probation.

I have just spoken with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. I expressed France’s full solidarity in the face of the indiscriminate strikes carried out by Israel in Lebanon today, which resulted in a very high number of civilian casualties. We condemn these strikes in the strongest possible terms. They pose a direct threat to the sustainability of the ceasefire that has just been reached. Lebanon must be fully covered by it. I reiterated the need to preserve Lebanon’s territorial integrity and France’s determination to support the efforts of the Lebanese authorities to uphold the country’s sovereignty and implement the Hezbollah disarmament plan.

@VividProwess @EmmanuelMacron Rubbish you murderers

@EmmanuelMacron Fuck you, Macron. Israel has every right to defend itself against the terrorist organization Hezbollah. You are not the one who had to suffer from tens of thousands of rockets in the past few decades. We did. Kindly just fuck off already, you weak, spineless squirrel.

What did IO Dinesh Kadam know? m.rediff.com/news/special/w…

@virsanghvi @Dior @ScentidoIndia It's the same with journalists, Mr Sanghvi, and seems to be our problem. I notice the moment a journo joins Elle, GQ, Vogue etc they fancy themselves to be great & get all hoity-toity like they are the ones doing the REAL JOURNALISM. This is my experience as a mainstream journo.

Always shocked by how snobbish sales people at so called designer stores in Delhi malls are . At @dior at Promenade Vasant Kunj, the salesman was obnoxious & rude. At nearby @ScentidoIndia they were aggressive & patronising. What makes Indians who work for foreign brands feel so superior to ordinary people? It disgraces the brands themselves & suggests that this is how they feel about Indians.

@RapidoCares Your handle is Rapido cares. How very very very little you care!!!!!

@RapidoCares And not 1 soul got back. This is cheating

@DGCAIndia It's shameful that VSR Aviation could not inform Pinky Mali's family that she had died in the crash. Utterly inhuman.

@AhirsachinAhir Thank you sincerely Mr Ahir for being the only individual to help this family at their time of crisis: m.rediff.com/news/special/t…

This is so gut wrenching How do you feel when you watch it @IASassociation @IPS_Association ?? Meanwhile all your officers are busy posting reels and self glorifying posts- India after 1947- told to set eyes on 2047!!

@RapidoCares I have shared it. I have complained before on your app but no one responds or refunds

@ZeldaPande Please share your registered mobile number and ride ID via DM so we can investigate the matter and assist you promptly. (2/2) twitter.com/messages/compo…

@rapidobikeapp @RapidoCares It's a total scam that every second Rapido has no AC. Why should I pay AC fares for non-AC cabs. When a customer complains you do not respond or refund money. That's basically theft!

Ahakista, Their Last Home. My daughter, grandson & I travelled to a remote Irish village on the west coast. We visited the memorial to AI 182 Kanishka. It went down near here 40 yrs ago, killing 329. It was the worst terrorist attack on India. sl1nk.com/MGxgV

@Swiggy @swiggy Why does Swiggy have a zero cancellation policy? I tried cancelling an order literally seconds after I booked it because I made a mistake and Swiggy won't cancel with a refund. Is that fair to customers? Swiggy makes mistakes but its customers are not allowed to?
