@SriToosh Are you referring particularly to the headline in today's ET and the people who wrote and okayed it?

As a journalist, you’re entitled to feel ecstatic or disgusted by a BJP win — in your personal space. But the moment your ideology enters the public domain and begins to shape your work, your professionalism is compromised. That’s the state of much of the profession today. #democracy #media

@adrian_otoiu @nixcraft oboy! this post is like a thought echo of some sort! same story here. went to opera in 2000, moved away briefly when it went paid, then went back, stayed till they ditched gecko. tried vivaldi, and have stuck with it. chrome only for chrome-only stuff. opera is a stand-in now.

@nixcraft Anyone still using Chrome.? I have been a log-time fan of Opera, until it got dumbed-down (in the meanwhile it made a comeback, but I had already lost my patience. So now, Vivaldi all the way as a favourite browser. In keep Chrome just for some Chrome-only fill-in forms.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device. > No consent dialog. No opt-out UI. Re-installs itself if the user removes it manually. That is the true definition of malware.

@satishacharya @airtelindia That's how corporate India works now. I've just come out of a nightmare with Reliance Digital online, which has to have the worst customer service processes in the history of humanity. From the lowly executive to the CEO to whom you finally escalate, everyone is utterly callous.

Dear @airtelindia , first you send an inflated bill for DTH/internet service, when we question it, instead of responding to it, you suspend the service! Is this how you provide service to customers?

@NalinisKitchen @AshwiniVaishnaw This isn't a bug; it's a feature. WL running over 1000. Tatkal given 10% and more of total berths. There were 70-odd berths in Tatkal, my IRCTC wallet was stocked, and I kept getting this crappy message till everthing was booked. Then my WL tkt got confirmed. The system's rotten.

Dear @AshwiniVaishnaw, Today, I tried to book a 3AC ticket at 10 AM, but I failed. Then I tried again at 11 AM to book a Sleeper ticket, and I failed again. Tatkal ticket booking feels like a lottery in India. It is extremely frustrating. Out of all the times I have tried to book Tatkal tickets, I have only succeeded about 2-3 times out of 10. Most of the time, I face connection issues, timeouts, logouts, or the payment gets stuck waiting for confirmation. Please do something about this. This issue has been pending for a long time, and people are seriously frustrated with it.

@mumbaiheritage There's no "All of the above"?! What the hell!

@narayananh Blessings??! 😳😳 How we have fallen!!

I think it is in TVK’s best interests to partner with the BJP in some manner. Tamil Nadu has been overlooked for far too long, and it is high time we received the centre’s blessings, one way or another.

@priteshlakhani As they say - it's not a big, it's a feature. I once got a tkt waitlisted 28 on tatkal two mins after booking opened; I go back to the big page, and the waitlist position (not current status) was 18!!! I mean, how is that even logically possible?!! The system is corrupt.

Villans aren’t born, they are made. Indian Railways Tatkal opens at 10am. Tried booking till 10:20. Nothing went through. Called an agent at 10:22. Recived confirmed ticket by 10:34. The system isn't broken. It's sold to agents. Now when their next order comes, my margins will recover yesterday's inconvenience.

@rameshsrivats Yes, can be done in two years. Also, won't be done in twenty.

I think India will get solved with just 2 things: 1. Cleanliness: Clean the streets. Punish the litterers. 2. Respect: Treat the citizen with respect. FIRs are lodged. Complaints are addressed. Every government official has a body cam. Just two things. Can be done in two years.

@Selvakumar_IN Yappaaaa!

DMK claims double digit GDP growth, but why GST is not showing any proof of that ? New govt has to publish a white paper on mis-management of TN finances in the last five years.

@shuveshek @ritujoon2j That's true, especially if you are going from Bangalore. There are plenty of "lesser" places 4-5 hrs away. Not that they'll be empty, but you could escape the mind-,bending madness. Keep your expectations low, and you could be surprised.

@ritujoon2j Never go to any touristy place during long weeknds ... Never

Yesterday was one of the most hectic days of my life while travelling. It took us 18 hours to reach Munnar. We got stuck in Annamalai National Park for eight hours on a 10 km stretch. We were supposed to reach Munnar by 4 pm but arrived around 1:30 a.m. We almost ran out of fuel, there was no network in the national park, and our family was worried about us. As girls, we struggled to find a washroom for 8-10 hours. We all say that India is not using the full potential of its tourism, but do we have that kind of infrastructure? One long weekend and every tourist place gets packed.

@Anmol_299 I managed to save just enough to be able to type out this post and send it. I probably will be braindead in a matter of seconds.

Lost half my braincells trying to understand this map

@amit_ganguli @RockyEatsX Everyone comes at it from just 1 angle. I've been carrying my trash with me for over 30 yrs. I carry it home, nobody comes to pick up the trash. I once got off the train at a station looking for a dustbin, found NONE! Sure, some people are twerps, but the establishment sucks too.

@RockyEatsX Japan - widely acknowledged to be one of the cleanest countries in the world - has remarkably few public dustbins: edition.cnn.com/travel/japan-t… If you can BRING it, you can TAKE it! AS. SIMPLE. AS. THAT!

If I may …. It’ll be nice to have a culture of dustbins to allow people to throw their trash (like the bottles, snack plates and packets etc. You see here.) Hold administration to account. But I haven’t seen a single post yet lamenting the lack of basic civic infrastructure

@KaurageousDils Hmmm, interesting.

You can give me 100 reasons not to vote for #BJP, but you can't give me even 1 convincing reason to vote for #Congress 👎 at least not in this lifetime.

@Incognito_qfs Yes. We should find out what various kings of previous centuries and millennia dreamt of doing, and get it all done as part of a massive fulfilment plan. We should also invade other countries if any of the kings has wanted that.

It was a dream of Rajaraja Chola 1 to build a port at Nicobar. We must build it. We owe it to him. Rajaraja Chola's navy is referred to as the world's first true "blue-water" maritime force. #PortWahinBanayenge

@Soumya_Ray @VikasSaraswat Hold on to your horses before you respond. Next, we will have statements about the barbarians in Bihar, UP, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and all the rest of the states in India. The whole of the country should perhaps be centrally administered. Wouldn't that be the finest dream!

@VikasSaraswat The point is you want to deny democracy to a major state like West Bengal, till you fulfil your fantasy of civilising the ‘barbarians’! Seriously, you still justifying that?

@SaffronChargers Sure, rules are rules. And there is really no dignity of the dead - once I am dead, I don't really care. If you can't stand up for the dignity of those alive, then you have a serious problem.

People are getting emotional and saying that ₹20,000 is not a big amount for a bank, and that they should have given it to Jitu Munda. But rules are rules. If a bank starts giving money without a death certificate and proper documents, then anyone could withdraw their relative’s money and commit fraud. In that case, people would blame the bank for releasing funds without verification. And the most important point is that taking his sister's body like this just for ₹20,000, without showing any respect for the dignity of the dead - that too his own sister - is not right.

@SRajaJourno @Unilever There is an age-old quip/joke that goes: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away; an onion a day keeps everyone away." Will you now go off rails over this?

This ad by @Unilever - Comfort is completely unacceptable. Using a fish market as something “disgusting” to promote your product is not creative — it’s disrespectful. Fish is food. Millions of people depend on it for their livelihood. Fishermen, vendors, and market workers work hard every single day, and this ad reduces their environment to something shameful. People who eat fish don’t see it as “dirty” or “unbearable.” They go to these markets proudly and buy fresh food for their families. What exactly are you trying to say here? This is not just marketing — this is humiliation. You’ve insulted: Fishermen who risk their lives at sea Market workers who earn with dignity And millions of people who consume fish as a staple food If this is your idea of branding, it shows a complete lack of respect for real people and real work. Do better. Apologize. And stop portraying honest livelihoods as something inferior. #RespectFishermen #StopInsensitiveAds #ComfortAd #RespectFood

@ThamizhTharmar You can do any crap in the name of security.

Every single vehicle in the convoy is running the exact same number plate AP 9G 393 😳 From CM Chandrababu Naidu’s Convoy in Vizag

@Anjan94150697 We can do without such stinking lies. And if you meant well, at least do some basic cross-checking beforebyou post such drivel.

#OFFICIAL: Loot in broad daylight- and the BJP calls it governance. 📌 Petrol hiked by ₹10 per litre. 📌 Diesel hiked by ₹12.50 per litre. Immediate effect. No warning. No shame. #PlunderSarkar

@RelianceDigital Day 9 of AC being delivered. No installation yet. Pious promises everyday, complaint registration, escalation - but no action. Customercare gives zero info, won't put me through to anyone else, utterly useless. Do you guys even care?
