@The_Ferrao @Joydas Could be illegals

@Joydas Large corporate executives till date struggle to get visas. But yet these illiterates manage to get one with minimal effort and then resort to this.

People rushing to Worship a Fridge in India reminds me. In 1990’s in San Francisco, a Crane operator dumped a parking barrier in Park. Soon some Indians discovered it and started worshipping it. Crowd came from all over to Worship the Parking Barrier. Later authorities removed it

@MiseryDealer_ @IndianGems_ Considering all the cancer this would have caused and related deaths, someone would need to dig and connect the dots and make the case

@IndianGems_ Can we hang him in public, old school excecution style

A man sold 2.3 crore litres of synthetic milk made with Nirma detergent powder in Maharashtra without getting caught: Report

@godbole_shilpa bougie according to Gen Z

CafeBourgeois on Bhandarkar Road was probably the first to start the trend of giving a humble cafe an intimidatingly French name. But by going of so many new cafes here, it makes one wonder if people have stopped making coffee at home.

@SayantikaSays They have Netflix

Modern flats are so depressing and claustrophobic. There are absolutely no windows to let the fresh air in. On the other hand, our traditional homes have big windows 🪟 for good ventilation and doesn't trigger claustrophobia.

@TopDriverIndia Not trying to be pedantic, but a Ninja would be Kawasaki Agree with your post, she was lucky, head injury could have been fatal

Was following a Suzuki GSX 1000 Ninja today, a young couple were riding on it. Suddenly the guy accelerated fast and his wife fell off! No helmet. She hit the back of her head on the road and scraped her hands. Not a major injury but Very unfortunate. We dropped the lady at her house nearby. Bikes above 350 cc are very powerful and need different skills and lots of restraint. Suggest #RTA to have a graded license & training for bikes above 350 cc. #roadsafety

@Virendra0698 @DKShivakumar @krishnabgowda Wow! This place was always a mess Unbelievable

woohoo! the @DKShivakumar @krishnabgowda footpath restoration drive hype is real! thanks a ton! footpath has been cleaned and restored. feeling super happy and optimistic! thanks for bringing a fresh breath of air. people of indiranagar, if you walk past this part frequently then keep an eye and post about it if the litter appears again. someone should be able to check the nearby CCTV and catch who’s responsible.

@bengawalk @GBAChiefComm @icindngr The simplest solution is to install Moderato signals for the whole length of 100 ft road from Vivekananda junction till Egipura junction

Made a video on the stupid idea of building a flyover through Indiranagar and why we deserve better @GBAChiefComm @icindngr youtu.be/lAEa8ar-JZY

@Md_Nowsath_ That’s below minimum wage

My sister-in-law just got a job as a playschool/kindergarten teacher and she'll be paid a whopping ₹6,000 per month in Bangalore! While school fees are skyrocketing, teacher salaries are plummeting. How on earth can anyone live on under ₹6,000 a month in a metro city?

@CyrusDhabhar 21 years

@CyrusDhabhar I’ve been driving an Octavia for 2 years and when there’s water logging and dug up roads and bumpy asphalt, the pseudo SUV’s all get bogged down and I just drive past them. I also have a Jimny so I know what an SUV is

I’ve often seen sedan fanboys talk shit about SUVs - especially compact SUVs claiming their sedans are superior. But all it takes is a drive in heavy monsoons to understand why the Indian public is (almost forcibly) buying SUVs over a hatch or a sedan. People have brains. Simple.

@ainvvy @peeleraja The Dalai Llama

@peeleraja Example?

If only Indian citizens can get an Indian passport, it logically follows that any one with an Indian passport has to be an Indian citizen. (This can fail if non-Indian citizens can also get Indian Passport.) Why is there an issue at all?

@rohini_sgh Most of the commenters here don’t know that you broke the Vadhra land scam story

Very true account of how the situation was during the UPA regime. PM Manmohan Singh’s office did not doggedly pursue journalists for slightly critical tweets, ED wasn’t used to shut down organisations like NewsClick because it questioned the govt, the media was free to question.

@rohini_sgh He didn’t have time for that

@ShashiTharoor @UmarKhalidJNU Since they can’t prove it, the process becomes the punishment

This moving article on @UmarKhalidJNU in prison prompts a simple question: if he really has incited terrorism, why not prove it in a court of law? Why deny him the basic right of any Indian citizen accused of a crime, the right to a fair trial? Languishing six years behind bars, without a chance to defend himself legally, is a travesty of justice and a blot on our democracy. I think the people of India have a right to know why. And what he says from prison is sad to read: theguardian.com/world/2026/jun…

@udupendra They say pets take after their owners

How is this boy so well behaved with both vet and grooming visits?!

@venkat_fin9 @nitin_gadkari @HardeepSPuri @PetroleumMin Non consensual

So, is this a scientific experiment on 1.4 billion people? Is that what you're asking citizens to believe, @nitin_gadkari, @HardeepSPuri, @PetroleumMin? First of all, can we confirm if there are human beings in the Ministry?

@Tryfrytry @skiy7 @TajHotels If you register for inner circle your registered phone number will automatically connect to any Taj WiFi in the vicinity

@skiy7 @TajHotels Ah.. then another option was to ask them to provide their wifi for sometime so that you can book. Not sure if they would agree to that too from their earlier tone itself was unwelcoming

Was nearby @TajHotels #coorg and wanted to check out the place . Was rejected at the door with family ! Told the security person we wanted to have coffee. He said only bookings allowed . He said book and come back . Just left in disgust with the attitude. Wonder what happened to the Taj hospitality @TataCompanies ?

@j_bindra Adugodi used to be the end on the town . It was the check post

The Bengaluru Roadies #60: Adugodi Forum Mall is in Adugodi, they would tell me, not Koramangala. Adugodi. Well, now I know that these are different places, and the Forum Mall is gone too, renamed Nexus Koramangala. So, I go all confused again… “You will cross Adugodi,” they now tell me, “when Bengaluru is trying to decide whether it is going to Koramangala, Hosur Road, NIMHANS, Richmond Town, or just nowhere in particular.” I could not find why Adugodi is called so. One explanation links it to the Kannada words aadu, meaning goat (though it could also mean ‘to play’), and gudi, meaning a small temple or shrine. So, a loose local reading suggests a settlement once associated with cattle, grazing, and village life. As with many Bengaluru place names, the exact origin has softened over time, but the sound of it still carries the memory of a village that existed before the city swallowed it whole. Long before it became part of central Bengaluru’s traffic vocabulary, Adugodi sat along Hosur Road, close to Wilson Garden, Richmond Town, Austin Town, Byrasandra, Jayanagar and what would later become Koramangala. It was one of those in-between places that Bengaluru specialises in: neither old pete nor pure Cantonment, neither fully residential nor entirely commercial, but useful, connected, and always on the way to somewhere else. Today, Adugodi feels like Bengaluru in transition. NIMHANS is nearby, Dairy Circle is close, Shantinagar is not far away, and the old Forum Mall, now Nexus Koramangala (!!), sits just down the road as a monument to the city’s first great mall era. Bosch too gives the area its industrial and engineering memory, while Koramangala lends it the restless energy of start-ups, cafés and people discussing funding rounds over expensive coffee. This is not a neighbourhood that offers postcard charm. It offers something more accurate: the working anatomy of the city. Hospitals, offices, police quarters, buses, flyovers, malls, old houses, bakeries, military-era echoes and impatient commuters all rub shoulders here. The air smells of petrol, rain-damp roads, hospital canteens, filter coffee, and whatever is being fried at the nearest darshini. Much of Bengaluru’s history is hidden under its traffic. Adugodi is a fine example. It may not shout like KR Puram, charm like Benson Town, or exhale like Kanakapura, but it quietly holds together several versions of the city: medical, industrial, residential, commercial, and permanently under repair. (I have recently relocated to the city of gardens and traffic, and what intrigues me most are the road names, each of which has a fascinating history. This series of posts will unravel the historical origins of the roads and localities of BLR.) By the way, on popular demand, I have started archiving all my Bangalore Roadies posts at blrroadies.substack.com , in case you missed a few

@dp_satish They also think the road in front of their house is reserved for their car parking

Yes, it has to happen. Every inch of Bengaluru footpath is blocked, covered or encroached by the people of all kinds. Time to tell the residents that they own their house, not the footpath outside. Footpath is only for the pedestrians, not for any other purposes.

@venkat_fin9 And still they have run through all that money and are looking to sell more PSU’s

Government and OMCs are making approximately ₹5,000 crore in profit every day by not passing on the benefit of lower crude oil prices to consumers. -Sources
