@ShivamVahia @AdaniOnline This (Vakola Nala) and Mithi nadi are just overflows from the lakes. The stinkiness is due to untreated sewage and slum waste. STP work is already ongoing. I'm assuming will accelerate once milords from HC setup shop next to it soon.

.@AdaniOnline really should consider covering the nala outside BOM T2. Walk out of the terminal and you're greeted with the most fuckall sewer smell. I have immunity to the smell, and yet it irks me...it is THAT strong! 🤮

@Kenu73 Most Indians who have traveled a bit are well tuned to this. People from top 20 countries OTOH are typically careless about this and end up in trouble.

People really take visas as a joke, yeah probably if you hold the top 20 maybe you can. For all others, please do not take processing period lightly. Always and Always apply as early as you can, here's the quick official time-line for countries based on how early can you apply. Japan- 3 months UK- 3 months Ireland- 3 months, can process earlier based on embassy exceptions SCHENGEN- 6 months in advance CANADA/US- no such timeline, apply whenever you want Australia- nothing as such, but apply atleast 3 months in advance Hongkong - PAR stays valid for 6 months, so apply as early you can. In case par is rejected you can opt for evisa. Vietnam- 1 year before the planned entry China- 3 months For a lot of visas, time is the essence and even if you aren't able to travel, this won't harm you. So with Indian passport please ensure that you apply for visas with time in hand. Some countries like UK, Vietnam, China do have official/unofficial channels to get faster processing but most done.

@BOMgirltweets @Icarus_Reloaded Only Indian city where people are on time. 9 am (or even earlier) meetings are routine which does not happen in other cities.

@Icarus_Reloaded Running at 12am on Marine Drive! People are helpful and friendly. One is too busy trying to reach a destination to find time to argue and if they do someone will always intervene to stop the fight.

Other than relatively safer public spaces, what are good things about Mumbai on standalone basis? Not in comparison but purely standalone.

Link to buy is another discovery today, very interesting site - headphonezone.in/products/kanto… .

Today's discovery - tomsguide.com/audio/speakers… Turns out they're assembled in India and actually cheaper to buy here than in US!!!

Visual style is indeed good but highly disjointed storytelling. *Spoiler alert* Plot buildup takes about half the running time and then actual plot gets over in no time and the epilogue lasts another 20-30 mins. And the title makes no sense at all.

For those who find a lot of US comedy shows too cringe and UK ones too slapstick - do try the aussie comedy Rake, which also qualifies as a legal drama. Reaches unexpected levels of crazy and then tops them. Funnily enough based on a real life bloke imdb.com/title/tt158700…

@s1d Pay me $500 in cash for jugaad

A famous Instagram watch channeled covered this Indian brand Kala. Their site crashed and their stock completely sold out. Btw when I was ordering, it took me to the payment page and then broke. By the time I redid it, it was gone. But happy for these people. Have followed them for some time now and they are excellent

Nordics appear so aloof in person but make some of the most emotionally moving films. Among the ones I've seen - Haevnen, Jagten, After The Wedding to recall a few. Sentimental Value is the most recent addition. Renate Reinsve is amazing! imdb.com/title/tt277145…

Geographical trivia - Nahwa is an exclave of Sharjah (UAE), within the Omani exclave of Madha, within the emirate of Fujairah(UAE), effectively forming a one of a kind donut exclave (exclave within an exclave)

A thick layer of smog was seen covering parts of Mumbai, reducing visibility and raising concerns about air quality in the city. The haze lingered across several areas as traffic, construction dust and weather conditions contributed to the polluted skyline. Residents reported hazy mornings and dull skies as pollution levels fluctuated across the city. Experts often link such smog conditions in Mumbai to a mix of vehicle emissions, coastal humidity and stagnant air trapping pollutants closer to the ground. Pic credit: @s1d /X

@BOMgirltweets @RizGandotra Nobody really knows for sure how the market as a whole will accurately move in the short term or long term. At best it's a guesstimate. No such thing as "people who actually know".

@s1d @RizGandotra It’s like this famous timing the market line we keep hearing about. People who actually know are not going to be generous with this information.

Any brave heart here willing to predict where the Sensex closes this week? No charts. No analysts. Just gut feel.

@Aviatorflyboy Yeah i meant the plane used by the big boss

@s1d That is a Boeing -737 Max

I saw this Global-6000 aircraft parked next to us and i asked the ground staff if Mr Ambani is in town. They promptly replied “सर इसमें तो अम्बानी जी अपने स्टाफ के लोगो को भेजते है“ Progress 🫡 “I know its a rage bait for many Lol Salam types” 🫣

@BOMgirltweets @RizGandotra Predicting takes no courage. Putting money on the prediction sure does though.

@RizGandotra Only influenzers ;)!

@saybwala Happy birthday 🍻

Hi as my 42 revolution around the 🌞 begins, I hope I find those answers this year O' Deep Thought...

@mishra_baibhav Was watching ARY news on youtube where people were crying about buying petrol for over PKR 2000/l (>INR 650) in black for their bikes 😢. You should open Ather dealership in Karachi/Lahore instead of BBSR 😜

Their papa Pakistan didn’t help?
