Hmm 🤔 I just saw a low flying military drone in Anna nagar, Chennai, could not take photo since driving. Just noting it here for now.

@RKRadhakrishn @RamMNK @AAI_Official @AAIRHQSR Chennai airport is worse than a third world airport. No cleanliness, no clear pathways. Just shutdown the airport and make all people use Bengluru airport.

I shot this on February 15 night. The second-class citizen plaza is ready - minor works need to be completed. Very easily, @RamMNK could have ordered this open. But since he’s busy in “other things” he’s obviously unable to do so. @AAI_Official or @AAIRHQSR don’t give a damn. I hope @CMOTamilnadu writes to @narendramodi seeking his intervention in opening this plaza so that the agony of the arriving @aaichnairport passenger is resolved.

@DealsDhamaka I found Decathlon products cheap and not worth it. We have not shopped in Decathlon for ages now.

A friend went bicycle shopping for his kid: - BSA: ₹6,000 (with all accessories) - Decathlon: ₹7,000 (cycle only), ₹10,000 (with accessories) - TATA Stryder: ₹7,000 (with accessories) He used to be a big Decathlon fan, but now feels it’s overpriced, ended up choosing TATA Stryder.

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." This is about the petrodollar system that has kept America the dominant economic power for 50 years. And Venezuela just threatened to end it. Here's what really just happened: Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. The largest on Earth. More than Saudi Arabia. 20% of the entire world's oil. But here's the part that matters: Venezuela was actively selling that oil in Chinese yuan. Not dollars. In 2018, Venezuela announced it would "free itself from the dollar." They started accepting yuan, euros, rubles, anything BUT dollars for oil. They were petitioning to join BRICS. They were building direct payment channels with China that bypass SWIFT entirely. And they were sitting on enough oil to fund de-dollarization for decades. Why does this matter? Because the entire American financial system is built on one thing: The petrodollar. In 1974, Henry Kissinger made a deal with Saudi Arabia: All oil sold globally must be priced in US dollars. In exchange, America provides military protection. This single agreement created artificial demand for dollars worldwide. Every country on Earth needs dollars to buy oil. This lets America print unlimited money while other countries work for it. It funds the military. The welfare state. The deficit spending. The petrodollar is more important to US hegemony than aircraft carriers. And there's a pattern of what happens to leaders who challenge it: 2000: Saddam Hussein announces Iraq will sell oil in euros instead of dollars. 2003: Invaded. Regime change. Iraq's oil immediately switched back to dollars. Saddam lynched. The WMDs were never found because they never existed. 2009: Gaddafi proposes a gold-backed African currency called the "gold dinar" for oil trade. Hillary Clinton's own leaked emails confirm this was the PRIMARY reason for intervention. Email quote: "This gold was intended to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar." 2011: NATO bombs Libya. Gaddafi sodomized and murdered. Libya now has open slave markets. "We came, we saw, he died!" Clinton laughed on camera. The gold dinar died with him. And now Maduro. With FIVE TIMES more oil than Saddam and Gaddafi combined. Actively selling in yuan. Building payment systems outside dollar control. Petitioning to join BRICS. Partnered with China, Russia, and Iran. The three countries leading global de-dollarization. This isn't coincidence. Challenge the petrodollar. Get regime changed. Every. Single. Time. Stephen Miller (US homeland security advisor) literally said it out loud two weeks ago: "American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property." He's not hiding it. They're claiming Venezuelan oil BELONGS to America because US companies developed it 100 years ago. By this logic, every nationalized resource in history was "theft." But here's the DEEPER problem: The petrodollar is already dying. Russia sells oil in rubles and yuan since Ukraine. Saudi Arabia is openly discussing yuan settlements. Iran has been trading in non-dollar currencies for years. China built CIPS, their own alternative to SWIFT with 4,800 banks in 185 countries. BRICS is actively building payment systems that bypass the dollar entirely. The mBridge project lets central banks settle trades instantly in local currencies. Venezuela joining BRICS with 303 billion barrels of oil would accelerate this exponentially. That's what this invasion is really about. Not stopping drugs. Venezuela accounts for less than 1% of US cocaine. Not terrorism. There's zero evidence Maduro runs a "terror organization." Not democracy. The US supports Saudi Arabia, which has zero elections. This is about maintaining a 50-year-old agreement that lets America print money while the world works for it. And the consequences are terrifying: Russia, China, and Iran are already denouncing this as "armed aggression." China is Venezuela's biggest oil customer. They're losing billions. BRICS nations are watching a country get invaded for trading outside the dollar. Every nation considering de-dollarization just got the message: Challenge the dollar and we will bomb you. But here's the problem... That message might accelerate de-dollarization, not stop it. Because now every country in the Global South knows what happens if you threaten dollar hegemony. And they're realizing the only protection is to move FASTER. The timing is insane too: January 3rd, 2026. Venezuela invaded. Maduro captured. January 3rd, 1990. Panama invaded. Noriega captured. 36 years apart. Almost to the day. Same playbook. Same "drug trafficking" excuse. Same real reason: control of strategic resources and trade routes. History doesn't repeat. But it rhymes. What happens next: Trump's press conference at Mar-a-Lago sets the narrative. US oil companies are already lined up. Politico reported they've been approached about "returning to Venezuela." The opposition will be installed. Oil will flow in dollars again. Venezuela becomes another Iraq. Another Libya. But here's what nobody's asking: What happens when you can no longer bomb your way to dollar dominance? When China has enough economic leverage to retaliate? When BRICS controls 40% of global GDP and says "no more dollars"? When the world realizes the petrodollar is maintained by violence? America just showed its hand. The question is whether the rest of the world folds or calls the bluff. Because this invasion is an admission that the dollar can no longer compete on its own merits. When you have to bomb countries to keep them using your currency, the currency is already dying. Venezuela isn't the beginning. It's the desperate end. What do you think?

@RajeshwariRW Bull Shit, nothing of that sort, they do add additives etc, and product packaging does have all sorts of exaggerations. Source, I live in japan.

In Japan, food packaging must show the product exactly as it is even a tiny exaggeration is seen as misleading. No fake ads. No chemicals. No adulteration. Just pure honesty in every bite.

Japan is a nation of book readers. It's the 13th most-spoken language in the world, but ranks 5th in number of works translated into their language. I hope that this continues with younger generations, despite the influence of easy-to-consume social media.

@ChennaiCustoms @wintrackinc @PrawinGaneshan These @cbic_india guys fully corrupt, nothing moves without bribing, they overlook most of what they quoted if bribed.

In response to serious and false allegations made by @PrawinGaneshan regarding Bill of Entry No. 3837029 dated 12.08.2025, we categorically place the following facts on record. This importer has an established pattern of making unsubstantiated allegations of corruption and bribery on this platform, only to delete such posts once factual rebuttals are provided by this department. The documented facts are as follows: During examination, goods declared under CTH 90191010 were found to be misclassified and correctly classifiable under CTH 90191020. The importer accepted this reclassification on 01.09.2025, confirming the misclassification. Physical examination revealed eight boxes containing USB charging cables that were completely undeclared in the Bill of Entry, commercial invoice, and packing list - a clear violation of Section 111 of the Customs Act, 1962. The imported goods contain built-in rechargeable batteries, making EPR registration from Central Pollution Control Board mandatory under Rule 13 of Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022. Despite repeated queries on 29.08.2025, during personal hearing on 08.09.2025, and again on 29.09.2025, no EPR certificate was provided. Instead, the importer submitted wrong documentation (E-waste undertaking) and made legally untenable claims of MSME exemption, finished product exemption, and low battery capacity exemption - none of which exist under the Battery Waste Management Rules, 2022. The allegations of harassment and non-cooperation are demonstrably false. The importer was granted personal hearing on 08.09.2025 in full accordance with principles of natural justice. Bonding permission under Section 49 of Customs Act was granted on 11.09.2025 specifically to help the importer avoid demurrage charges during adjudication. Postponement was accommodated on 19.09.2025 when the importer requested additional time. At no stage was any payment or bribe demanded - all queries pertained strictly to mandatory statutory compliance under Battery Waste Management Rules 2022, BIS Act 2016, Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules 2011, and Customs Act 1962. Furthermore, during pendency of adjudication proceedings on this Bill of Entry, the same importer filed identical goods through a related entity (wife's company) on 12.09.2025 with the same compliance gaps, demonstrating systematic evasion rather than inadvertent error. During an official meeting on 30.09.2025, the importer attempted to intimidate senior officers through threats of media exposure and self-harm when informed that due process must be followed. This conduct has been formally documented and reported. The importer's social media posts reveal a calculated pattern: allegations of corruption when facing legitimate scrutiny, followed deletion of his thread when facts of violation by importer are placed on record. This selective narrative is a deliberate tactic to pressure officials into releasing cargo without following due process. We categorically state that every action taken was legally mandated, procedurally proper, and based on documented violations discovered during examination. Chennai Customs will not be deterred by false allegations from performing its statutory duties. We remain committed to lawful, transparent, and professional conduct while enforcing regulations designed to protect public health, consumer safety, and environmental standards.@cbic_india

From October 1, 2025, our company will cease import/export activities in India. For the past 45 days, Chennai Customs officials have relentlessly harassed us. After exposing their bribery practices twice this year, they retaliated, effectively crippling our operations and destroying our business in India. We deeply thank everyone who has supported us during these difficult times. #wintrackinc #imports #exports #chennaicustoms #chennaicustom #airportcustoms #seaportcustoms

@Iyervval It’s probably Qatar mediated off ramp, US aircraft’s evacuated already, check this link. newsweek.com/satellite-imag…

Is Iran even thinking? Israel has already made mincemeat of them. They want to hit the ONLY country in the gulf that has stood by them? And that too, target an American base? They want to get America in? Hasn’t Iran suffered enough

@HPIndia One of the worst service, none of the service centers in Chennai can provide basic information on business laptop purchased, online help just points back to service centers. Waste of time buying HP Notebooks.

@Suyanalavaathi It’s just presentation to make it look fresh, easy to dispose smaller items in garbage but mainly presentation.

ரொம்ப நாளாவே இந்த டவுட் இருக்கு.. வெளிநாட்டுல எதுக்கு இளநி ‘ய இப்படி புல்லா சீவுறாங்க..

We had one of the worst experience @HondaCarIndia @olympiahonda Ambattur service center. We had given the car for replacement of the back bumper and awaited for @Universal_Sompo claim clearance, but they demanded a reclaim of 15% of the NCB because they made some mistake. 1/5

my wife had to wait for 4 hrs (2:30 - 6:15). @hondaindiacars. This absolute pathetic service from @olympiahonda makes me wonder if @hondaindiacars is checking the service levels of its dealers and providing good training. 5/5

water inside the card when we gave it for service. @hondaindiacars. I have no idea how the car insides had water. We had given the car on 21/08/2023. To make it worse, they charged us Rs.1000/- + GST to "dry the mats, and screw back the seats", 4/5

The car mats was fully wet and smelly and they said we had not informed them of the water leakage. THERE WAS NO WATER leakage from the windows when we gave it to service, we regularly park the car outside our home during rains and there was no seepage of any 3/5

We asked @olympiahonda @hondaindiacars to deliver back the car as in condition to sort this out with @Universal_Sompo, but the unprofessinal attitude when we asked to give back the car without any service or replacing the bumper was really harrowing. 2/5

@GyftrIndia I bought a Rs.2000 worth Zamoto EGV and it’s already used, I raised a ticket and no reply even though ticket says 1hr response time. Ticket No.: 270723-2695564 Brand: Zomato EGV
