Requesting @DGCAIndia & all airlines in India to prohibit the use of speaker devices on board. It's v stressful to listen to a cacophony of devices on speakers, without headsets. And interferes with cabin announcements esp if there's an emergency. @airindia @IndiGo6E @AkasaAir

Also, what this @guardian piece comprehensively misses is that Lit Fests are not just about selling books. @JaipurLitFest and Kolkata fests, I know first-hand, create a unique space for genuine debate and discussion. This is unique & precious in our increasingly polarised world.

As a @guardian Supporter, I found this piece ignorant, distasteful and an ill-judged commission. Sad, given the paper's reporting on India has been otherwise thoughtful and not paywalled. @JaipurLitFest and book fairs attract millions who read in English and many other languages!

Now @ACKOIndia is flooding me with calls & @heydigit has not even shared the insurance document, though its website & app makes fulsome promises of insurance renewals being completed instantly. Shame on @heydigit for letting down clients after snagging them. Change this culture.

It's a telling testament to how poor behaviours & commitment run rife - & roughshod on consumers - in India. I tried renewing an insurance policy. Compared prices and riders across various. I almost went with @ACKOIndia but didn't at the last minute. Went with @heydigit

I was booked automatically to a later flight, this connection was a bit too late. However, there was excellent on ground support from @airindia Delhi who rebooked me on an earlier flight without hassle. Not the old #AirIndia I knew. Well done @TataCompanies 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Another shoutout to @airindia for its superb service, this time #LHR to #CCU. There's been a huge improvement in the on board services. What really impressed this time was #servicerecovery after my LHR-DEL #AI2018 was delayed slightly & I missed a tight connection to Cal.

Had the great fortune of interacting with him many times in my career with @inBritish, even as recently as March this year. He unfailingly recalled my name and spoke very fondly of Kolkata, a city that had a special place in his large heart. @UKinKolkata @UKinIndia

We from @inBritish & @UKinKolkata are absolutely delighted to have played a part in this inspiring partnership between 2 exciting musicians - #Seyie from #Nagaland & #Mari from #Wales. Culture connections are one of the most vital & cherished pillars of #IndiaUK #livingbridge.
abu metha@abumetha

Congratulations Seyie and Mari for an amazing hair-raising performance at @TheNehruCentre in London. Music, culture and performing arts are bringing nations and people closer. This story began in the historic city of Kohima between Wales and Nagaland at the Hornbill Festival 2024 and has blossomed into an international journey across oceans and continents. Thank You @HCI_London, @UKinIndia @BritishCouncil @inBritish @UKinKolkata @Lindy_Cameron @albarrett09 @Andrew007Uk @dcfrombc @RuthyCocks @BCouncil_Wales . Well Done @VDoraiswami, @Neiphiu_Rio, @thejameru & @TafmaNagaland.
