@timesfindia... ordered on April 7, the front page as gift for a friend's birthday. No sign of it, and no way to track it. No contact details on the invoice. The birthday has come and gone. Is it a scam or what?

Almost every time I go to my branch of Union Bank, my BP shoots up and I get hives. The sheer inefficiency and contempt for the customer is astounding! The system, not the staff, who always try to be helpful.

The way James Lee Burke writes about Louisiana and New Orleans make me wish to go there once before I die. Maybe it's about time to start climbing the US visa mountain.

Day 36...package still undelivered...#DTDC @DTDCIndia ...still dodging responsibility.

One month and four days...no sign of my package. Shame on inefficient or thieving courier company. @DTDCIndia

The most inefficient and shameless company I have come across in recent times is #DTDC. A package booked on Oct 21 has still not been delivered. They don't respond to mails, the customer care helpline is clueless. No accountability!

Who stole Mumbai's winter?

After almost a decade, reverted to a local train commute to and from South Mumbai...or would have spent 5 hours on the road.

Just dropping by to say that the nursing and ward staff at the Khar #HindujaHospital are saints on earth. #gratitude

Stayed away from Twitter for about a month...didn't miss much, I think. Just peeked in to see the X.

Height of summer heat and humidity and #AdaniElectricity bent on making us suffer. Several hours and no sign of power being restored.

@Adani_Elec_Mum It is still out at our building in Santacruz. Please help.

We regret the inconvenience caused to our customers yesterday in the pockets of #Santacruz & #Khar West. The interruption due to cable faults was restored within 30 minutes by tireless efforts of our Power Warriors. Our teams are still working on ground to rectify all faults.

There was a time we had to wait a decade to get an MTNL connection. I held on to my precious landline for as long as I could. But when the line was more dead than alive, I finally went to the telephone exchange today and surrendered the number. Still felt like the end of an era.

@GeetGayaisolate I like Sue Townsend... not mom's type.

@deepagahlot Not in the category of Ed McBain or Michael Connelly but has mom read the Adrian Mole series? Loved Ms Townsend's other books too. I'm afraid she'll say been there...

Could crime book fans recommend some writers like Ed McBain and Michael Connelly? Voracious mom has read all their books (55+23)!

Maybe the Academy should introduce an award for choreography. The hidden star of Naatu Naatu is the one who came up with those crazy steps.

@PragyanM Oh no!!

@deepagahlot Look what I found 😆

@neetakolhatkar @MrNarci Bank holiday is on the 8th... so it is confusing!

@MrNarci It is on 7th not 8th. Tonight is full moon, so the holi🔥 is burnt. Next day colour day. It's always been like that. Why on 8th?

so is holi on 8th? why is maharashtra celebration on 7th

@vijivenkatesh @ranjona I hope this trend returns.

Delhi 1971 /72 the Lungi/Top was all the craze with us college girls & this was taken by my dearest friend’s brother who was visiting from the US & quite amused by this sartorial adventure. In the verandah of their 1st floor D/2 West Kidwai Nagar home. We were also neighbors too.

You meet people at coffee shops...this one gave up caffeine, that one won't eat carbs or fats, another gave up sugar and salt. You can't be the only one having coffee and cake... Maybe cafés should start charging for table occupancy!
