This is such an important point raised by Peepal Baba about civic sense and environmental responsibility. People casually keep throwing wrappers, ice cream covers, plastic bottles, chip packets, gutkha packets, disposable boxes, and all kinds of waste on roads, green belts, open lands, and public places without realizing how badly it harms the ecology and environment at large. Authorities alone cannot create a clean and green city unless the public also becomes sensitive and responsible. Noida Authority is genuinely doing commendable work when it comes to greenery and environmental efforts. Water tankers are being deployed regularly, plantations are happening, and efforts are being made to follow environmental guidelines and NGT directions for maintaining and increasing green cover. But sadly, as a society, many people still lack basic civic sense and environmental sensitivity. Throwing garbage openly, damaging green areas, wasting water, and polluting surroundings has unfortunately become very common. This mindset has to change. A clean, green, and healthy environment is not only the responsibility of authorities it is the collective responsibility of every citizen. Small habits like using dustbins, avoiding plastic littering, respecting public spaces, planting trees, and keeping surroundings clean can create a massive difference. Nature gives us everything selflessly. The least we can do is protect and respect it. #Noida

10 minutes of server lag only to be met by a broken UI. How is a passenger supposed to confirm consent for a button that doesn't exist? @IRCTC_Official @AshwiniVaishnaw fix the prehistoric design and servers. Tatkal surge is predictable yet the tech is stuck in the 2000s.

@BlrCityPolice @CPBlr @rpobengaluru Today for police verification at police station, I received an SMS from the officer asking for unnessary documents like parents address proof, birth certificate and others when I had my freshly received passport, Ids and other docs.

Stop thinking your 10,000mAh power bank is 10,000mAh. The first time I got a power bank, I was constantly complaining that my brand new 10,000mAh power bank could only charge my 3,000mAh phone twice. I thought I got scammed with a fake product until a few years later after I got others and it was thesame and decided to research. There is a secret math around this. Your power bank battery lives at 3.7V, but your phone needs 5V to charge. To bridge that gap, the power bank has to boost the voltage. This conversion isn't free. In the process of pushing that power through the cable, about 30% of the energy is lost as heat. You can actually feel it. That’s why your phone and the power bank get warm. So, if you buy a 10,000mAh power bank, you really only have about 6,500mAh to 7,000mAh of actual rated capacity to give. You didn't get cheated. You just paid a tax to the laws of physics. Lol. Next time you’re buying one, always do the 70% rule so you don't get stranded. Do your own research. INALEGWU.

I have always had a quiet fascination with archaeology. There is something about the way it piques my interest in world’s history. I am looking forward to seeing what @sowmiyashok uncovers in this book. #TheDig #Keeladi #HistoryBuff #India

This is fantastic by TRB Raja. Putting the guy on the spot and questioning that arrogance! 🔥🔥🔥

@Velvetyvirgo All in good time.

I have never lived alone. I lived with my parents till 22. Next two years in a hostel with batchmates. Then in Mumbai with my boyfriend who later became my husband. Never ever stayed all alone. I want to try that some day.

@Velvetyvirgo Absolutely yes!

Does listening to an audiobook count as reading? 😋

The most radical innovation at Lemon Tree Hotels had nothing to do with room design or pricing. It was about who stood behind the reception desk, who cleaned the rooms, and who served breakfast In a dialogue between the HR department and the CMD, Patu Keswani, they decided to hire 2 differently-abled people. "It was an experiment. The team was not sure how the new staff members would integrate with the rest of the team or if they could do the job," says Aradhana. The impact of this small gesture was apparent when Mr. Keswani was approached by a very emotional mother of one of these persons with an invitation to attend his wedding. The possibility of this nuptial would have been negligible if the boy had no job. By merely giving an opportunity, everything changed. And, the business continued to gain from the services of 20+ differently-abled resources. Since that day, there has been no looking back. What started as an experiment evolved into one of the most ambitious inclusion programs in the global hospitality industry. Currently, ~13% of Lemon Tree employees are from this disadvantaged segment of the population, although the company targets and often achieves a rate closer to 20% in many properties. "This is not charity, it is our business model" became Lemon Tree's mantra. The numbers backed it up. Employees with disabilities showed lower attrition rates (12% v/s industry avg of 50%). They demonstrated higher loyalty, better attendance, and often superior performance in their designated roles. The deaf employees in housekeeping communicated through visual cues and checklists, often resulting in more thorough cleaning. Staff with Down syndrome, working in consistent routines, excelled in laundry and food service roles. Lemon Tree Hotels has been presented the National Award by the President of India for 'Best Employer of Persons with Disabilities' in 2016 and 2011, and a third National Award in 2012 for being a 'Role Model in providing a Barrier Free Environment to Persons with Disabilities'. The business case was compelling. In an industry plagued by 50-100% annual turnover, Lemon Tree's inclusive hiring created a stable, dedicated workforce. Training costs dropped. Service consistency improved. And something unexpected happened—guests noticed. The genuine warmth from employees who had been given opportunities they couldn't find elsewhere created an authenticity that no amount of hospitality training could replicate. The ripple effects went beyond the hotels. Lemon Tree partnered with NGOs to create training programs. They developed visual communication systems that became industry standards. They proved that infrastructure changes for accessibility—ramps, visual alerts, modified workstations—cost less than the savings from reduced turnover. By making inclusion a business strategy rather than a CSR initiative, Lemon Tree didn't just change lives—it changed the economics of hospitality employment in India. This is awesome!
