@ananyashasau Yes, when I used to live in Bandra and my verification was conducted by officer from Bandra PS, paid 0 bribes. The officer was very nice and polite.

Is there even a single person in India whose passport was made without paying a bribe? 😭 Are any of you here that lucky? And if not, how much did you have to pay?

@TeaChaiLa Permanent Roommates too

Problem with people who follow a phenomenon after it has become successful - they haven’t watched the original work. No TVF list is complete without Pitchers. A series aired on YouTube and not Netflix or Prime. Made TVF what it is today. All lists without Pitchers are sh1t.

Indeed! To conflate a Rasgulla with an Idli is not just a culinary error; it is a profound cosmological misunderstanding. To begin with, the comparison is practically a biological impossibility. She is comparing chhena (the delicate, squeaky, pristine curd of milk) with a meticulously fermented batter of parboiled rice and black gram (urad dal). Their compositions are from entirely different kingdoms. One is an airy, spongy lattice designed to trap light sugar syrup; the other is a dense, wholesome, steamed matrix of complex carbohydrates and proteins. Their taste, consistency, structural integrity, and existential purpose share absolutely nothing in common. But more important, her attempt to dismiss the Idli as merely a blank canvas for sugar syrup does a grave disservice to what is arguably one of the greatest engineering marvels of the culinary world. The Idli is not a mere "bland cake." It is a masterclass in biotechnology. To achieve the perfect Idli is to balance the delicate microflora of wild fermentation over a cold night, resulting in a steamed cloud that is a triumph of gut health, lightness, and nutritional balance. It is a savoury monolith of South Indian culinary genius, perfectly engineered to absorb the sharp tang of a well-spiced sambar or the fiery depth of a molaga-podi (gunpowder) paste infused with cold-pressed sesame oil or nutritious melted ghee. To suggest an Idli would even consent to being drowned in sugar syrup is to fundamentally misunderstand its dignity. If this lady finds Rasgullas overrated, argue that on the merits of their sponginess or sweetness. But please, leave the noble, perfectly fermented, steamed majesty of the Idli out of your dessert-table polemics, ma'am!

@anumccartney I know this is a very stupid move but population decline could be a real concern, especially for the southern states. The TFR of AP is 1.5 which is well below replacement level.

We’ve literally got the world’s highest population and we’re out here with leaders like this making announcements like this 🤦🏻‍♀️

@vinayaravind That is probably one of the only few picks that is good in this list. It’s delicious and very special and local to Moradabad.

@peeleraja ‘Vacuous’, FYI, perfectly describes what you have been tweeting and is nothing related to gas or the lack of it.

@peeleraja I’d ask if you realize that words most often have more than one meaning, but I suspect even a basic definition is a struggle for you. Just another empty, off-topic and inaccurate deflection from someone who clearly has nothing to contribute and even less to say.

If Shivin had studied chemistry in his dummy school, he would know that vacuous is the antonym of gas-filled. Something cant be both vacuous AND gas filled 🤡

@peeleraja Is your entire online presence just a high velocity exhaust pipe for these vacuous, gas filled non-takes?

@peeleraja Predictably reductive. You’re willfully ignoring the fact that the same demographic rolling their eyes at this 'state-sanctioned' menu is the one resisting the veggie dogma being forced into school cafeterias. But why bother with nuance when you can just keep tweeting this fluff?

Unpopular opinion. Basically you have no problem when cults deprive school kids of proteins by imposing vegetarianism in govt school midday meals. But god forbid a cult member president feed veg food to a rich foreign dignitary and you guys will cry foul and demand she feed butter chicken. This is why we are backward. Campaign for proteins in schools. Foreign dignitaries can feed themselves.

@peeleraja Ugggh, it is not the same at all to outsiders. How daft is that? wHy dOnT yOu bEcOmE tHe pReSiDeNt aNd sErVe....... Man, take your hyperbole and straw man arguments somewhere else.

Become president and serve your butter chicken na. Its all the same to people from alien cultures.

@peeleraja Personal choices are fine privately, but when you occupy a constitutional office, especially one representing 1.4 billion people, excessively restrictive preferences can’t and shouldn’t fly

@peeleraja You’re the king of piss poor takes on this app. The President isn’t hosting a private dinner party based on personal whims, she’s representing a nation at the state banquet. The point is to showcase Indian hospitality and serve something that works for vistors.

Unpopular opinion. President Droupadi Murmu is a member of Brahma Kumaris. They have many diet restrictions. She is also a tribal woman who has risen to the very top position of the country. If she chooses to have stuffed broccoli and Punjabi potato served to a foreign delegate, it is HER prerogative. You can serve butter chicken, Fanta omelette and aloo-mutton biryani when YOU become President of India.

@heydambis 1. I disagree (especially for sweet stuff, don’t know about beverages cause I don’t do coffee) 2. Irrespective, good for people watching as you get to sit at the pavement and witness the crowds shuffling in to Kopitiam / Baan Pad Thai / 4Ps.

@mathursahhab Concu sucks

I do this in Indiranagar (going to gatekeep the name of the cafe)

I keep buying leeks because I have too many potatoes. Then I keep buying more potatoes because I have too many leeks. It's a vichyssoise cycle.

@krishashok I’m just tired of the poor job that the food regulator of India does at bringing about honesty in these companies. I’ve myself applied for an FSSAI license in the past and was appalled by how lax things are.

@mathursahhab Because individual ingredients do not matter outside of context of dosage. Saying 😱 sodium benzoate and showing a teaspoon being added (when in reality it’s a precisely measured much tinier amount) doesn’t help anyone

The most stupid, intelligence eroding, scaremongering content format of recent times is the “let me show you what DANGEROUS CHEMICALS go into this product using a beaker, spoon, sound effects and zero appreciation of basic chemistry”

@krishashok Can you point out the specific video you’re talking about where sodium b’s qty has been shown dramatically higher than actual? I feel he’s doing a very fine job of just highlighting what goes inside stuff flying off FMCG shelves when marketing around it is so dressed up.

@mindmusclepro I can agree about protein but this meal has adequate fibre. Wheat flour and dal both have good amount of fibre. A meal like this with Subzis, dal and roti can easily give 13-14 grams of fibre which is more than enough for 1 meal.

These meals all look very Healthy, but in reality they are devoid of Protein, Fiber & hardly has any nutrients.

@shipzfj @saribk01 @yuslfc10 I’m sorry but which fucking fans were these? Talking out of your arse here.

@mathursahhab @saribk01 @yuslfc10 the consensus among fans was that Gakpo was better than Diaz last season lmao don’t try to rewrite history

The Luis Diaz revisionism I see every time he scores for Bayern is genuinely concerning. He went ONE goal in 18, ONE. Selling for £70 odd million at his age was the correct decision. Not replacing him was the problem. Simple as that.
