@smitaprakash @kkstau 100% is such good proportion — forget 20, 30. Now we are complete, now we are enough for this world.

I had to sell my xuv500 diesel 3 years ago, and buy the 700 patrol just because it was BS4, 2018 model and I had to survive in Delhi without challans. Now, I pay 8 Rs per litre extra for premium patrol because the one I bought is only suitable for E15. We have seen two policy shifts in NCR in last 5 years , third one on EVs will also come likely by next year. I won’t be surprised if even the patrol vehicles are restricted. Let’s hope not!

@vikilasha All this policy jerks forced me to get a petrol Tayron because I can't pay ₹20K for getting clicked while our on the road. The next day, they notified E30. The automobile industry is doomed and we the consumers have always been

@kamleshksingh That’s a relief for now. But kya aapne BS4 to BS6 wala jhatka jhel liya - aur wo 10 saal wala drama bhi toh hai. Abhi toh aap ko EV policy ki ‘Rekha’ bhi paar karni hai. Par ek hi jaan hai ya toh allah lega, ya mohalla

@kamleshksingh Peak super El Nino will be somewhere around September. Hopefully, we can still have a decent monsoon before that.

I am not pessimistic, but things do not seem to be right. The signs are ominous. The Gulf is on fire, a super El Niño is triggering freak weather events, economies are facing recession, political turmoil everywhere, and Arsenal has won the Premier League.

@vikrantgupta73 If you can lose 6 games in a row with no improvement game after game, you don’t deserve to be in the top four. @PunjabKingsIPL

Has Shreyas Iyer’s batting performance gone down due to poor PBKS performance or has PBKS gone down due to Iyer’s poor recent show? How can you explain the ‘suicidal mission’ PBKS is on? #PBKSvsRCB #IPL2026

@GabbbarSingh Definitely not arguing like a teacher - no balance, no facts, just pure narrative. You may dislike government policies as an individual - but if appear on a public platform as a teacher, a ‘sir’, more balanced views are expected.

Whatay Ludo! You were aware of 10th & 12th exams then, coz you & your cousins belonged to that age group. Once you cross that age, and grow old, your brain filters out any such news.

“We will not fix this. Not because we cannot. But because the leak is not a bug. For someone, somewhere in this chain of spectacular, self-renewing, responsibility-accepting corruption, the leak is the entire product.” Tau spoke for most of us here, excellent take. @kamleshksingh PS: not using a single ‘long dash’ was heartening in today’s times. indiatoday.in/opinion/story/…

@kushal_mehra If Virat had continued, people would have complained why is he not retiring… this is a continuous cycle here in India. But I think he should reconsider playing tests. He would have scored tons of runs on those flat Eng pitches last year in test matches.

@kamleshksingh Please tau, this is a gross overestimation of honesty here. And that’s why 10% blending was sufficient, although it was slightly over honesty levels, but still manageable.

Dravidian ideologue Periyar told them not to worship "false" gods. So they created new "true" gods to worship.

It’s called being reasonable- and ‘balance’ is what avoids unnecessary confrontation which will yield nothing. Here if Govt can acknowledge that necessary precaution will be or are being taken to ensure forests are protected to the extent possible- it will look more responsive. I am sure many of these efforts are already underway- but it’s also important to be ‘seen’ to be doing things in a democracy. Balance- see reference below: youtu.be/eeSk7nQoSlE?si…

You'll see the organised campaign against the Nicobar project growing stronger and getting momentum. There are some concerns out there. The govt should take the valid ones into account and fix what it can as it goes ahead with building the strategically important port base.

Absolutely and in their minds, they are certain that they are doing nothing wrong - khali toh pada hai, side se nikal le.. I think its also about risk perception. I analyse this typically in a slightly different context of disaster risk insurance where a insurance premium will seem like a waste to people even in exposed areas because of infrequent nature of disaster events. Similarly, by extension, people place so little value on their lives while on road - despite knowing how accidents happen. They somehow see road risks very differently off the road btw - complaining about the other drivers for careless driving.

Terrible. Expressways have a 120 kmph limit. Many drivers try to max it because they can. Even if your car has the handling dynamics to cross that limit, never do it on Indian roads.

@kamleshksingh Its almost impossible to stop smaller cars on CC roads. It skids even for bigger cars. Plus big vehicles occupy right and middle lane and run in parallel especially trucks
