@ZaraAzure @PrinceArihan No. You can walk. I did it recently. One should know where to look for it, though.

@PrinceArihan Another is if you arrive via metro, no stairs to get to terminal. Only lifts. This is an unnecessary choke point. But the metro has been a big relief. Basically made getting to the airport a non event now

One of the most disappointing airports in India is Chennai International Airport - Kamaraj Domestic Terminal. I fail to understand the logic behind forcing passengers to board a buggy with their luggage and travel to another building just to get a taxi. The system appears poorly thought out and unnecessarily inconvenient, especially after a tiring flight. I witnessed several senior citizens struggling with the process and clearly uncomfortable with the arrangement. While the staff managing the buggy service and driving the vehicles were courteous and helpful, good behaviour cannot compensate for flawed planning. Airports are meant to improve passenger convenience, not complicate something as basic as exiting the terminal.

@VirginAtlantic - just completed today a travel from JFK to DEL, via LHR. Was disappointed that for overnight travel, you don't give any eye mask. Also, your entertainment choices are limited. Please check out @emirates

@SagarH62 McDermott - how can we forget the battle between him and Azza!!

@piyushnikhade @Rahul_J_Mathur CMC is Computer Maintenance Corporation

@Rahul_J_Mathur Dude, was TCS existing back then ?? I thought it was a company called CMC Ltd. ? Correct me.

In May 2000, during the dot-com mania, Credit Suisse valued TCS at whopping ₹92,000 crore Bankers were pushing Tata Sons to list TCS. Their pitch was simple: Sell down ~5% of TCS and make the entire Tata Group debt-free! Ratan Tata outright declined this recommendation - he shared his rationale with N.A. Soonawala who was then the Vice Chairman of Tata Sons:

@AngryBlackOwl @ashwinravi99 What an 1di0tic argument. So, have all elections been rational? Full disclosure, not a fan of RA but come back with a better logic and argument (Indru poi naalai vaa).

@ashwinravi99 Sad coming from someone sensible like you. What qualification or experience does your "superstar" have to become the chief minister of a state as big as Tamil Nadu? Next, you will make him ISRO's chief scientist because your are his silly fan? What happened to being sensible?

Have said it once, i will say it again! Who i was born to wasn’t my choice, thankfully I was born to parents that are beyond great. Leadership is feeling empathetic towards another person’s struggles and enabling growth beyond barriers & that’s what my parents & teachers have taught me. I want to live till the day, we stop talking about lineage or caste 🙏

@News12NJ @Meteor_Mike when I ventured out - about 16 inches - at North Brunswick. It felt light, when I tried to dig it. Feel free to feature this Pic in your coverage.

Last night and this morning - at North Brunswick

@News12NJ this morning, at North Brunswick, NJ

@News12NJ North Brunswick, a few minutes away.

@News12NJ - North Brunswick at 6:00 PM. Looks like a 1 + inches

@News12NJ @LaurenDue12 starting in North Brunswick. It's more rain now.

@laksr_tn To each, their story - and the lens through which they looked at things. My counter to you - TamBram lived in Erode, Govt. school at Karungalpaalayam, in the early 80s. Do you have an IDEA what I went through? Stop generalizing your experience.

My family comes from an Agraharam in Mayiladuthurai district. As public education opened up opportunities, Brahmins were the first to move out of the village to white collar jobs in cities like Chennai, Mumbai and townships like Jamshedpur. Nobody drove them away. Many 2nd and 3rd generation Brahmin emigrants (who live all over the world) sold their properties in their villages because they moved on with their lives. After their retirement my parents spend a considerable part of the year in the same house my dad was born in. Today the street (which was earlier an Agraharam) has homes of people of all castes, they visit each other, take part in the joys and sorrows of each other's families. Hindutva politics has encouraged the creation of these imagined victim-stories of upper caste Hindus.

@mikeachimugu01 Location?

I rushed my daughter to hospital at past 2am this morning. Needing to pay for lab tests and medication, I approached the cashier. This lady was sleeping comfortably, as though she was at home. I called her attention. She woke up briefly, mumbled a few words, and returned to sleep. It was hard. At some point, I decided to just stand and wait. She relaxed into her chair, dragged her duvet, and returned to what must have been blissful sleep. I stood there for 10 minutes weighing my options. Should I be angry and rant? Should I show empathy by understanding her situation? Eventually, the doctor was passing by and I reported to him. He approached her and she mustered the effort, albeit painfully, to finally attend to me. The doctor had been kind enough to proceed with emergency care for my child while I was sorting out the bills. Otherwise, we would have lost 15 minutes of valuable time to save a life, depending on what the ailment was. My daughter has been stabilised. We are still here. Hopefully, she will be fine. But, in between attending to my child and responding to passenger complaints on the time line and in my DM, I thought about that cashier and the attitude of night shift staff in a lot of businesses in our country. Something is not right. A night shift staff is expected to have taken care of sleep during the day. Take the hotels abroad, for example. The front desk staff are mostly not even allowed to sit. They stand all night behind their counters, attending to customers. And this practice cuts across a lot of other sectors outside hospitality. I can understand it if a doctor or nurse was catching a nap. Even they are expected to be alert, despite the tough nature of their jobs. But a cashier? I remember the number of times I have stayed in hotels here, where the 'receptionist' would bark at guests for disrupting their sleep because they needed something. "Why are you sleeping on duty in the first place?" "Oga, am I not a human being? Is this not night? Are you not supposed to be asleep yourself?" This is the most common retort I have heard. Then comes the gaslighting when you report to management. "You lack empathy, oga. Do you not feel for him/her? You can sleep, but you don't want another person to sleep?" I detest this. It is called SHIFT for a reason. That is your duty time. That is when you are supposed to do your job. An Egyptian front desk officer at the Pullman in Dubai, told me in 2018 when I asked why they had no chairs, that they are only allowed to walk around the lobby when they felt sleepy. But seats are not provided so that they don't get too comfortable on duty. That way, customers are guaranteed prompt attention when they need it. We must build a system of monitoring our on-duty personnel. At the NCAA, we are in the final stages of automating that process in my department. I do not want a situation where passengers are stranded at night, and our CPOs who are meant to be on duty would be answering my calls from home while claiming to be at the terminal. With automation, I can see where they are, real time. We must embrace a work culture that places the highest possible standards on night-shift staff. Those are crucial hours where time should not be lost. Customers/patients are most vulnerable at night, and should be guaranteed efficient and speedy attention. There is no emotional perspective to this. Work, if you must do it, must be done well. Happy New Year.
