@ash599 @supriya_sule Those IN power also have their kids abroad. The last line doesn’t sit well although rest of it makes perfect sense. Our political class is horrid, cutting across party lines

@supriya_sule Mam congratulations on his education achivement. But if you people who ruled India and Maharashtra could have built similar level education system in India , your son would habe not taken abroad for education. This is the reason you people are out of power.

Today was filled with pride, gratitude, and joy as my son Vijay graduated with an MBA in Sports Management from NYU.

@BunnyPunia *1k extra is cumulative assumption here, considering inflation, not just at pumps

@BunnyPunia 2/2 - won’t be only hike for sure - where’s our energy diversification - why were fuel prices high when crude was low (oh ya, oil bonds) - where’s fuel from Russia (oh ya, biz with US) when two-wheeler person has to pay 1k extra on 15k salary, car owners lk us should empathise

🤣🤣 Too good @isachinawasthi #Austerity

Everyone’s personal tastes but do Mahindra owners tend to have none? At least most I spot in NCR

There’s a war in Iran, bombs being dropped, missiles fired incessantly And yet Delhi AQI is far, far worse around the same times What am I missing, where am I living

Either this is a western-biased headline or (once again) shatters notion of India's 'independent' foreign policy What does 'lets' even mean? If subjugating to the US like most of the world, at least don't beat chest for domestic audiences

It’s official folks: being Indian is a timing risk abroad. We don’t realise how far this reputation has travelled until you’re standing at a random bus stop next to your hotel in Fukuoka, Japan at 7:40 a.m., holding a tour voucher, half-awake, trying to look “normal”. Reporting time: 8:00. Takachiho day tour. Group of 9 friends. The guide, an elderly Japanese man, starts ticking names off a printed list. Sees mine, nods, then pauses on the next line where it says there are 8 more Indians. He looks up and asks where the rest are. I say, “A few minutes” (in my broken Japanese + hand gestures, because obviously). And he just… laughs. Not rude, not mean. The kind, polite laugh that’s basically disbelief doing customer service. Then he repeats, multiple times, slower each time, like he’s talking to a toddler: “Bus… leaves… eight… sharp.” Like, sir, I can hear you. I’m also a person who can read time. He asks again if I’m sure they’ll come. And again. And again. Each time with this tiny smile that says, “Yeah, I’ve seen this movie.” And in that moment you realise something slightly grim: you’re not being treated as an individual. You’re being treated as a probability distribution. Not “Are your friends here?” but “Are Indians capable of this?” I’m there early. I’m literally the counterexample. Doesn’t matter. The stereotype walks in before you do. Those 10 minutes between 7:40 and 7:50 were genuinely stressful, because if even ONE person showed up late, it wouldn’t just be “Arre he’s late”. It would be “Of course they’re late.” You know that feeling when you’re forced to silently represent 1.4 billion people at 8 a.m. outside a tour bus. Thankfully, everyone turned up by 7:50. Not 8:01. Not “almost there”. Not “2 mins”. Properly early. I gave the guide the smallest, most respectful “I told you so” look possible without getting deported. He was nice after that. Zero hostility. But the first reaction said everything. And this is the bit Indians don’t want to admit: people abroad already have a pre-loaded template about us, and it’s not flattering. It’s not just punctuality, either. Punctuality is just the easiest stereotype to express out loud. So yeah. Make your jokes about “Indian Standard Time” if you want. Just know the world is taking notes, and sometimes you’re the one paying the reputation tax at 7:58 a.m. in rural Japan. Do we even realise how often we’re being pre-judged like this?

I'm jealous of NRIs sometimes. They've escaped the entire system.

Don’t let 2-3 negative incidents make you feel bad. It’s still a beautiful country to live in if you stay in a gated society somewhere in South India, drive in your car to work, eat in fine dines & travel abroad once in 3 months to appreciate 10 minutes Blinkit delivery & UPI ❤️

The thing about Delhi pollution, and AQI specifically, is that the moment it comes down to around 200/250 or ‘poor’, common people - you and I - will stop highlighting the issue But even 200 is incredibly bad (unless following BAQWAS metric)

Media won’t report this 👇🏽 Grorge Soros is running factory in Delhi & burning tyres to make some cheap quality oil. Because of Kejriwal & Nehru, BJP Govt is not able to take action.

Do BJP ministers even know what they are saying at this point? 🤡

Breathing in clean air is the latest flex in India. Along with Messi selfie and buying iPhone 17 pro max What have we come to and how much lower still?

India is a hopeless cause The Indian ruling elites know this But not low IQ Indians That’s why they are quick to buy dreams of India becoming a world power and what not The quality of life in India is so poor that it is worse than that of many African countries that have lower incomes than India Even basic public services are non-existent in India The very concept of traffic management is alien There is a small section of Indians who genuinely want to improve the country and understand the challenges and many of them even have the expertise to fix this But they are completely sidelined and most are forced to leave India for countries that can absorb their talent The prime minister, his ministers, every single chief minister and his ministers, the opposition, most of the bureaucrats and judges, all of them are of lowest possible IQ but highest possible dishonesty Even the armed forces are struggling because of corruption and inefficiency And all this while, China built one of the greatest economies right next door Indians are still stuck at a per capita GDP and human development almost at par with Bangladesh

• If you are not getting a job • If the cow is not giving milk • If the boy has turned spoiled • If the girl is not getting married • If things aren’t working out between husband and wife Just say ‘Shri Ram, Jay Ram, Jay Jay Ram, and everything will be solved. All BJP MPs were laughing when BJP MP Ajay Bhatt was saying this in Parliament. These clowns are ruling India.😭

This patch of 100 mts in Dwarka Golf Course road has been abandoned by authorities after upper layer torn off for (presumably) new paving This is state for 45 days!! Kilos of dust flying, no one seems to care & Delhi govt says it’s fighting ‘AIQ’ @parduymnrajput @DelhiPwd

Overheard in office If Rekha Gupta meets Lionel Messi as Delhi CM, much like maha and Telangana CMs did, tutor her to say his name right Lest she calls him Lionul Masih
