Many have FAILED! 🤦‍♂️ How many Legs do you see??

@Koshy62 @dreamgirlhema Your pitiable comment shows complete lack of class, grace and values. I would expect a whole lot better from you @Koshy62

@dreamgirlhema Hema ji, one quick question. Was Dharam ji your legally wed husband or just a husband in your mind. When l checked last, there is no provision for a man to marry twice. Such an act would have landed the poor man in jail. I am not sure he divorced his first wife.

Dharam ji❤️ He was many things to me. Loving Husband, adoring Father of our two girls, Esha & Ahaana, Friend, Philosopher, Guide, Poet, my ‘go to’ person in all times of need - in fact, he was everything to me! And always has been through good times and bad. He endeared himself to all my family members with his easy, friendly ways, always showing affection and interest in all of them. As a public personality, his talent, his humility in spite of his popularity, and his universal appeal set him apart as a unique icon unequalled among all the legends. His enduring fame and achievements in the film industry will last forever. My personal loss is indescribable and the vacuum created is something that will last through the rest of my life.😢After years of togetherness, I am left with myriad memories to relive the many special moments…

Ankita Singh, CEO, Cantt. Board, Clement Town, Dehradun is such a fine Officer and lady, setting high standards and exemplary best practices I am yet to see a more accomplished, dynamic, responsive, knowledgeable CEO. Kudos! @PMOIndia @narendramodi @ClementTownCB

After decades of being lackadaisical SBI is gaining new currency with its new set of executives. KRJoshi, DGM SBI Rajpur Rd. Dehradun is easily one of the most professional, patient & customer friendly execs What a pleasure dealing with him @TheOfficialSBI @PMOIndia @FinMinIndia

@DeepikaBhardwaj Terrible behaviour! Deplorable standards. Both women should be ashamed of themselves. And that's a woman telling them that.

As a country, we have failed our fellow beings. If we do not amend "The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960" in the next session of Parliament, we lose the moral right to call India the land of "Ahimsa." @narendramodi @RahulGandhi @Dept_of_AHD @AwbiBallabhgarh instagram.com/reel/C_iq2fWP1… ▶️These 2 came on a bike and threw the poor animal into running water. ▶️The dog was friendly it allowed itself to be lifted, carried and thrown ! 🔴They will be fined only Rs. 50 and go scot free 🔴India is witnessing a huge rise in animal crimes which would surpass any country because the animal cruelty laws have not been amended from 1960 onwards. 🔴 Indian's and the world need to speak for animals in India 🙏🏾NOW ! @PhaedraXTeddy @rashmigautam27 @ECOAlphaTango @RobertoCardel18 @RobRobbEdwards @EllieCG11 @s70706634 @domdyer70

@AmbarishSatwik @Indian_Accent Sorry to hear about your sordid, unpalatable experience. But love the way you write Ambarish!

A tirade. Against @Indian_Accent, Delhi’s much-lauded temple of gastronomy, where the well-heeled and the well-fed go to stroke their palates with innovation. A couple of days back, they were found peddling a culinary sleight of hand.   The offending dish, an offering on the tasting menu, promised morel, water chestnut, and asparagus, hidden beneath a ‘paper roast dosai’ (Exhibit A). One is always excited at the prospect of encountering a well-sourced morel, the truffle of the East—that decadent jewel from from the forests of J & K that costs more than an Indian family’s grocery bill for half a month. What arrived under the dosa cone, was not the morel, but a drab cluster of the most ordinary button mushrooms, the kind one might expect in a roadside stir-fry, the fungal equivalent of a counterfeit handbag. If you’re going to list morels on the menu, then there better be morels on the plate, not the fungal detritus scraped from the bottom of a vegetable box (Exhibit B).   This wasn’t an error. It was a deliberate act of chicanery. A calculated decision. Someone in the kitchen, or perhaps in the higher echelons of the restaurant, took it upon themselves to substitute the expensive morel with a far cheaper imposter, fully believing that these particular patrons, who probably didn’t look like the sort to have tasted morel before, wouldn’t know the difference.   When summoned, the chef performed the customary song-and-dance of apology, claiming he would ‘fix it in under two minutes.’ And he did. Miraculously. Brought in a new plate, flush with morels. Which begs the question—how is a fine dining restaurant able to replace a dish in less time than it takes me to open a bottle of cheap plonk? Pre-prepared, perhaps? If this kitchen is churning out dishes with all the haste of an airport lounge buffet, then what exactly are the patrons paying for? The pomp? The pretense? At this price point, we are not paying for mere food, but for integrity, for the understanding that what is stated on the menu is what will arrive on the plate. When a fine dining restaurant offers morel and serves common mushrooms, they are engaging in outright theft. Ordinarily, I’d let such an infraction slide. If it were some second-rate restaurant peddling Instagram-friendly fusion fare, I’d roll my eyes and quietly consign it to the bin of forgettable meals. But this is the restaurant that Condé Nast Traveller, in a flight of wild, hyperventilating praise, swears is the very best in all of India. It’s nestled comfortably on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list, ranked #26—an achievement it brandishes like a Michelin star. Time Magazine calls it one of the 'World's 100 Greatest Places' The question that naturally arises from this regrettable sleight of hand is: who, precisely, stands to benefit from this deception? Who profits from swapping out the Rolls-Royce of fungi for the rusted banger of button mushrooms? Certainly not the kitchen staff, who, I imagine, are too busy executing their preordained choreography to engage in such duplicity. Nor, I suspect, the serving staff, who would have to nervously deliver these imposters to tables, hoping against hope that no discerning palate calls foul. The chefs? Perhaps, but not in any way that bolsters their culinary pride. They’re not stashing a wad of cash in their aprons or taking home the saved morels. My sense is that their hands are tied by those behind the curtain. To call this ‘cheap and petty’ would be charitable.

This is the best thing you will read all week... A beautiful true story, written by a woman named Pam Kearney, on the impact of even the most tiny, inconsequential actions...

Brokenhearted to hear that Alice Munro has returned her borrowed stardust to the universe. Long ago, long before she won the Nobel Prize in Literature, she wrote beautifully about the secret to a great story: themarginalian.org/2013/10/11/ali…
