@DealsDhamaka You do realise schooling is free for kids in the US?

30% of the people that I met in the US over the last week have 4 kids + 1-2 pets … both parents working, still finding time for kids and pets Meanwhile, in India, it’s almost become a trend to have no kids at all, and give it a label like DINK

@Geetanjali_SB @ImAbhishek7_ @RichaChadha Unfortunately the people who fight and gave us freedom failed to realise that they replaced British colonialists with Indian colonialists

@username_heist @ImAbhishek7_ @RichaChadha I’m sure the people who fought and gave us our freedom, thought exactly the same way,right ? These are excuses. Keeping quiet in the face of evil - makes you as guilty as the perpetrator of evil.

@Geetanjali_SB @ImAbhishek7_ @RichaChadha It’s because this system has been carefully designed to keep people busy in IPL and Government Exams. To protest you need to have a lot of time in your hand, be ready to sacrifice whatever you have earned till now and more importantly have agency

@ImAbhishek7_ @RichaChadha Why not us people ? People also are keeping quiet like bloody rocks - why does noone say a word ? Try protesting - people will be the first one to abuse and vilify you and NOONE supports you. Let all of us die. Perhaps,it’s better.

100/100 for India But not an achievement - as today the 100/100 warmest cities of the world are in India And apart from summers, phenomenon like formation of Urban Heat Islands is making the life of city residents literally hell And our govt’s poor urban planning is adding to the woes Concrete, asphalt, and buildings absorb sunlight during the day and release that heat slowly at night (unlike soil, grass, or trees which cool faster). No trees or vegetation means less shade and less evaporative cooling (plants “sweat” to cool down). Air conditioners, cars, factories, and people are pumping out extra waste heat. Tall buildings are trapping heat and blocking wind that could cool things down. Dark surfaces (roads, roofs) absorb more sunlight than lighter natural surfaces. And it is having Real-world effect in India: In April heatwaves, a city like Delhi or Mumbai can be 4–8°C (7–14°F) hotter than nearby villages at night. This makes the already extreme weather feel far worse, higher heat stress, more deaths, higher electricity demand for cooling, and worse air pollution Do have a look at these Quick numbers: • Rural area: 38°C day / 22°C night • City center: 42°C day / 28–30°C night This is why big Indian cities often top the “hottest places on Earth” lists during heatwaves, the natural heat + urban heat island effect combine Simple fix ideas (though hard to scale fast): - More trees - white/painted roofs (IAS Supriya Sahi has already proved it on a large scale in Chennai) - Green spaces, and, easier said than done - Better urban planning 🙏

@kalai_nt @blrmetrotracker @ChristinMP_ @OfficialBMRCL @blrcitytraffic Then it just boils down to personal choice and in that there’s always a tradeoff

@username_heist @blrmetrotracker @ChristinMP_ @OfficialBMRCL @blrcitytraffic The junction in question has a metro running above (Yellow Line) n Green Line crossover. And this stretch has highest number of buses plying from Banashankari TTMC to Attibele/Whitefield/Hebbal side. Bus lane is out of question in this narrow road. One size fits all doesn't work

Silk board Ragigudda flyover in peak hour evening traffic on Downramp near Marenahalli Junction. Unless they get away with this signal, it's difficult to manage the junction. We called this out long time ago. @blrmetrotracker @ChristinMP_ @OfficialBMRCL @blrcitytraffic

@kalai_nt @blrmetrotracker @ChristinMP_ @OfficialBMRCL @blrcitytraffic Increase bus capacity. Make bus rapid transit lanes. Fast track metro projects. Improve last mile connectivity, make walkable streets. Allow private players to solve last mile connectivity issues. I can go on and on

@username_heist @blrmetrotracker @ChristinMP_ @OfficialBMRCL @blrcitytraffic And we have metro already. What to do next? Let's avoid poor designs.

I called it!

@sriharikaranth I’ve seen people telling oh it reduces commute time to from 30 minutes to 10 minutes….. wait until more people hear this, more bring their vehicles onto the road, and voila! You’re back to square one

Aerial view of Bengaluru’s much-awaited double-decker flyover from Silk Board to Ragigudda - now fully open to the public in both directions!

This is the Rahul Gandhi we’d love to see!

@sanjeevsanyal 2 refrigerators colliding 😭

25 mins??? Football is flowing game, you cannot stall for that long and cool down players. Long breaks are ok for that sport involving refrigerators colliding - mistakenly called football in North America

ये कैसे अच्छे दिन आ गये हैं ? जहां हिंदू आवाज उठाए तो ‘कांग्रेसी’, मुस्लिम आवाज उठाए तो ‘आतंकवादी’, सिख आवाज उठाए तो ‘खालिस्तानी’, क्रिश्चियन आवाज उठाए तो ‘मिशनरी’, आदिवासी आवाज उठाए तो ‘नक्सली’, स्टूडेंट प्रोटेस्ट करे तो ‘देशद्रोही’, टीचर प्रोटेस्ट करे तो ‘एंटी नेशनल’, तो फिर सही है कौन? नागरिक साबित करें, कि वो वोटर हैं, अरावली साबित करे, कि वो पहाड़ है, शंकराचार्य साबित करें, कि वो शंकराचार्य हैं, और सरकार !! - वो कुछ साबित नहीं करेगी

Este autobús adelanta a 48 coches. A una media habitual de 1.3 pasajeros por coche, son 62 personas. En el autobús caben 100. Este es el espejismo de la movilidad: como los coches ocupan mucho, creemos que transportan a mucha gente, pero no es así.

You will be termed as terrorist by IT cell: If you question FSSAI on food adulteration If you question NHAI on potholes If you question government on UGC guidelines A perfect citizen is one who silently drinks sewage water, eats fake paneer & breathes in 1000+ AQI.

Our governments have a weird fetish for vanity projects. We need a massive protest in front of Vidhana Soudha to stop these maniacs from destroying the already broken landscape of Bengaluru.

Janaru sari illa, avru vote mado MLA, MP galu neech nan maklu. Ellinda ee desha uddaara aaguthe?

This is truly one of the best moments in Indian Football history. Hope they serve as an inspiration for other academies to sprout in India!

Life in Vishwaguru : > Wake up > Brush with adulterated Toothpaste > Eat Adulterated breakfast > Go to work in 500 AQI > Get stuck in traffic > fall in a pothole > Get adulterated milk and Paneer > Get FIR filed for complaining > But Pay taxes on time so that an old man can do his photoshoots and world tour

A cancer-causing material that's banned in 70+ countries and kills 2 lakh people annually is being legally used in India - in our roofs, cars, and even some appliances. The government says it's ‘safe’, based on a foreign study that wasn’t even accepted in its home country.
