India's Lok Sabha still reflects a population of 54.8 crore. India's actual population: 140 crore. That gap — 50 years wide — is what the Delimitation debate is really about. And it's the most consequential political crisis nobody is explaining clearly. Let me break it down 🧵

@volklub @chiragbarjatya It was not this rampant and being normalised during the UPA rule.

@chiragbarjatya Increased drastically, shamelessly and normalised.

In the last 10 years, did corruption increase or decrease? I personally don’t think any corruption decreased even after na khaunga thing. Be it real estate or be it small businesses, everywhere corruption is being normalised again.

@akbars600 They ruined it. I have a 2012 Honda City, and, in my opinion, it is the best looking City ever made. The current facelift is just a bull shit design copied from Verna.

EXCLUSIVE! Here's your first look at the refreshed Honda City for India ahead of the May 22 launch event.

@alcazr__ Resume shortlisting is a mess in Bschools. More than the skills, it is luck that gets you a shortlist.

Skill issue

@kat_rhi_hai @pritishposwal Yup. Bohut bada dhoka. I will never forget it 🤣

@jayaneeli @pritishposwal Apne walo ne dhoka dediya tumhe 🤣

Just a post to explain how competitive it is at top IIMs for placements. My profile was 9/9/8 with BTech in CS from IIIT Delhi+fresher. 2 SDE Interns - Jio& a start-up, decent projects and avg ECA. Meanwhile I got 0 shortlists for consulting at IIM C in SIP not even from Big 4.

There are 2 ways in which you can view this- 1. If it is a genuine expense- it is better to use a credit card and get rewarded for using it. For example- when you spend 1L and get a reward rate of 3%, then why not? 2. Simply spending to reach the milestone- this is absurd and stupid.

Credit card influencers really act like spending 1 lakh to save 3,000 is financial genius 😭 Half the reels are just: Guys I got Free House, Free Car, airport lounge access, cashback, reward points, Buy 1 Get 1 Brother, you still spent the money. Most people aren’t saving more because of credit cards. They’re just getting better at justifying spending.

The irony is striking. On one side, the PMO is trying to attract foreign capital by easing FEMA rules, making FTAs more investor-friendly and boosting exports. On the other side, the Indian stock market keeps increasing friction costs through higher STT, compliance burden and frequent regulatory interventions. FIIs don’t just look at India’s growth story. They also look at predictability and ease of doing business in capital markets. When rules keep changing every few months, global capital starts looking for more stable alternatives.

@InvestorOfJAMMU Park your money in SBI, Union, HDFC and ICICI.

RBI cancelled licence of another Co-operative Bank. If you want peace of life, never park your hard earned money in any bank other than Top 5 banks.

@RaoSumukh I tend to use Gmaps when I travel during peak hours. Otherwise, I use my brain to pick a route.

I absolutely hate it when people use their own brains to pick a route instead of relying on Google Maps. We have real-time data that accurately shows traffic congestion, distance, and other useful metrics. "I have been driving for 40 years" is BS. Use technology when it exists.

It is for the same reason I stopped using the metro to commute to my office. I ride a bike and spend about Rs 2000/month on petrol. Not to mention the ease and convenience of travelling. I would happily use public transport if last-mile connectivity improves and metro fares are reduced in a city like BLR.

Decided to be a good citizen. Inspired by PM’s call for austerity, left the car at home. Auto to the Metro station: ₹30. Metro ticket: ₹30. Feeder bus for the last stretch: ₹20. Total one way: ₹80. Return journey: another ₹80. Grand daily total: ₹160. My car gives 14 kilometres to a litre. Office is 7 kilometres from home. Roughly ₹100 a day, door to door, including the petrol and the quiet dignity of arriving without fuss. Public transport, in other words, costs me ₹60 more than driving myself. Per day. In a city with a functioning Metro. This is what we call last-mile connectivity gap — the small, unglamorous gap between the grand infrastructure and your actual front door. Austerity, apparently, is for the commuter alone. The PM travels by motorcade. The last I checked.

@utsavtechie For an average user, phone improvements every year are miniscule. Doesn't make any sense to upgrade to a new phone every year or two. Better to use it for at least 3 years and then consider upgrading your phone.

People in India are now using their phones for almost 4 years before upgrading because smartphones are getting more expensive and spending is tighter.

@amritwt Switched to Edge and no regrets

In the end, you will always go back to Google Chrome

First Vande Bharat journey today and it genuinely felt like a glimpse of a faster, more modern India 🇮🇳🚆 Interestingly, I’m also reading Build It — the story behind Blinkit by Albinder Dhindsa. And both, in very different ways, reflect the same shift happening in India: • Vande Bharat is transforming physical infrastructure • Blinkit transformed consumer expectations around convenience One is reducing travel time. The other reduced waiting time. Different industries. Same India moving faster.

After years of silence, Snapseed finally got an update and I’m irrationally excited 😭 For Android users, this has always been one of the cleanest and most satisfying photo editing apps ever made. No unnecessary clutter. No overcomplicated UI. Just pure editing magic. Teenage me used it mainly to make myself look 4% more handsome 😜 Glad to see Snapseed alive again. Vintage Android users know the emotion. 📸

@wittysiddharth If I was you- I would purchase an Innova top end and hire a personal driver for everyday travel.

I have come to a point in life where i can afford a Mercedes GLE or something of that range. . But at this point i have realised that instead of buying 1 crore car , i rather buy 2-3 cars worth 40 lakhs each - and keep 2 drivers for atleast 5 years. Which would help me and my family to enjoy in a better way. . Wt say?

5️⃣ The Takeaway 🇮🇳 India's economy has fundamentally transformed. Through better energy efficiency, a strong financial buffer, renewables, and biofuels, the $100 oil bogeyman has been tamed. A structurally stronger, more self-reliant India is here to stay.

4️⃣ Revolution at the Pump ⛽🌽 We aren't just changing how we power industries; we are changing what goes into our vehicles. India has successfully ramped up Ethanol blending in petrol to a massive 20% (E20). This homegrown biofuel directly saves billions in crude import bills!

Oil at $100/barrel used to send shivers down the Indian economy. 📉 Today? India barely flinches. Structural shifts over the last two decades have made us far more resilient to global crude shocks. Here is why high oil prices don't shake India like they once did 🧵
