Don't underestimate the power of 'following the process '. In Pondicherry,hubby went to a HP petrol pump and asked for 'full tank'. The guy tried usual scam of stopping midway n starting again without bringing to 0. Hubby quietly filed a complaint online, got a call from HP 1/3

@deeptiraonayak 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@reader_wanderer I didn't even know who she was till today. Looked like Suhel Seth at first 😅

I'm almost 40, I have two kids and I still will hold my mom's hand 😅

Her name was Snehalatha Reddy. She was born in 1932 in Andhra Pradesh into a family of second generation Indian Christian converts. Her father had served as a Major in the British Army. She grew up deeply resenting colonial rule. When she went to college, she reverted to her Indian name, wore only Indian clothes and learned Bharatanatyam. She became an actress in Kannada and Telugu cinema and theatre. She co founded the Madras Players theatre group. In 1970, she starred in Samskara, a Kannada film directed by her husband Pattabhi Rama Reddy. The film initially faced censorship issues before later winning the National Award. Snehalatha and her husband were close to socialist politics and associated with leaders like George Fernandes and Ram Manohar Lohia. On the night of June 25 1975, Indira Gandhi declared the Emergency and suspended fundamental rights across India. On May 2 1976, police arrested Snehalatha Reddy under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act in connection with the Baroda Dynamite Case. George Fernandes and several others were formally accused of plotting sabotage against the government during the Emergency. But when the final chargesheet was filed, Snehalatha Reddy’s name was reportedly not included. She remained imprisoned anyway. She spent nearly eight months in Bengaluru Central Jail, much of it in solitary confinement. She had suffered from chronic asthma since childhood. Despite her condition, she reportedly received irregular medical treatment in prison and went into asthmatic coma more than once. During her imprisonment, she kept a diary. In it she wrote, “What is the purpose of every human being born in this world? Is it not to lift mankind a little higher towards perfection?” She was released on parole on January 15 1977. Five days later, on January 20, she died after her health had severely deteriorated from chronic asthma and lung infection. She was 44 years old. Her prison diary was later published posthumously as A Prison Diary. In 2019, a documentary on her life and imprisonment was also released. She spent months in prison during the Emergency without being named in the final chargesheet of the case she had been arrested in. Five days after her release, she was dead. Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

@Geeky_Foodie Oh god! 😥

Witnessed a lethal accident yet again on #BengaluruRoads Biker cut into pieces thanks to yet another completely avoidable gory tragedy by a heavy duty vehicle in broad daylight in the middle of Sarjapur Road. How many more lives have to be lost for roads to get better? Traffic rules to be taken seriously and traffic violations to be feared? For driving licensing exams to be taken strictly? @blrcitytraffic @nitin_gadkari @Jointcptraffic @OfficeOfNG

Last 2 lines!! 💯 agree😐

@Masterji_UPWale @snobfielder I have!

Anyone else has a yahoo id ???

@nivedithapanda1 Verrry normal 😄 In my case, not jealousy but certainly a feeling of inferiority for not being this skilled with my hands.

@reader_wanderer I love those too. But I get really jealous about not knowing any skilled work and lack of knowledge. Am I normal ?

I absolutely love watching such videos 😍 My respect for people who do such precision work by hand. 🫡

@Geeky_Foodie How's the book?

I got the book ever since it released before the melody memes :) Modi haters should understand that she is a woman who has an identity of her own and has made huge strides for women and her own country as a PM and deserves to be applauded the same way liberal ideology would applaud other women heads of states!

What a POS! 💩 No difference between the Nazis/Fundamentalists who wanted to burn/ban books because it didn't align with their beliefs/ideologies. Thoo!

@Geeky_Foodie Exactly! Reminded me of so called libbies hating JKR and as an extension HP books, for her views on trans and womens rights. I mean I don't agree with or directly oppose the views of so many authors but never ever thought of wanting to destroy their books by fire or flood!

@shilgiri_rao Hahahaha! That's 1 tunnel which only he wants to see🤣

@reader_wanderer Hope DKShi doesn't see this....🤣

Me and my son have been sneaking out in the middle of the night in our Ewok and Chewbacca costumes just to mess with our neighbor's trail cams.
