Toward the end of "Charlie Wilson's War," a CIA officer played by the pitch-perfect Philip Seymour Hoffman cautions the Wilson character (played by Tom Hanks) not to be too sure they have done something glorious. 1/3

@PrimoWater Dig deeper, you can find my full name and phone number from my account number. Don't try to dither and stall because you need more information to take action. #Fail

@ashanker Hi there, so sorry hear you've experienced constant delivery delays. We've got your account number. However, in a private message, can you provide your full name on the account and phone number as well? Thank you.

Hey @PrimoWater — a delivery scheduled for Monday that gets “rescheduled” every single day this week and is now magically set for Saturday isn’t a delay, it’s incompetence. If you can’t deliver water reliably, maybe don’t run a delivery business. 🚫💧 Account # 8740131641 #fail

@united I've been a Mileage Plus member for 15+years, booked a round trip ticket JFK-SIN for Feb '26. When I canceled, for travel credit, due to a family #emergency, your customer service offered me to fly by 12/11/25, which is in the past. Ref: JEGEM8 #fail

@pizzahut Terrible #failure . Order #3240105172327001412028323. Half the order not delivered, rest of it came 90 minutes late cold as ice. What’s up?

@flyspicejet Your website doesn't allow me to sign up with a US phone number. The OTP doesn't ever arrive. #fail

@TheDilliMirror @midlandsouthex Hey JB, I returned last week. Very interesting read, this book of yours 😀

@ashanker @midlandsouthex Thank you Abhijit ! Are you back ?

If you weren't already a #SmitaPatil fangirl, @Priyashanker would have helped you correct course though her presentation on Patil, an iconic figure of the 70s Indian New Wave who was incredibly versatile, working across languages & regions, across art & popular cinemas

@marcrandolph Thought you’d find it interesting: a new #bollywood movie has a song “#netflix and chill”.

@mklein818 Looking good young man

#Shrinking and #TheCompanyYouKeep - following two series simultaneously, after a very long time. Both worth the time, especially when sick.
