Well-tried attempt at city-level localization.

"Nowhere in the democratic world, barring India, are owners forced to scrap old vehicles. Berlin or London, you can drive your car as long as it passes regular fitness tests, which are strict. But in Delhi, your petrol vehicle is legally dead the day it turns 15 – diesels die at age 10."

Would India continue to interfere in the internal matters of Bangladesh by giving asylum to an ousted leader (now sentenced to death) while also denouncing every other country of interfering in our internal matters?

"Front-load the first 90 seconds of any new drama with peril, death, catastrophe, and contextless clues. But it all comes off as a cynical bid for attention based on an understanding that audiences do not react to insight or nuance or thoughtful tone-setting."

Banks are increasingly freezing accounts without notice over high-value transactions and this is affecting accounts of daily wage earners, but the same banks are allowing an MNC head to transfer ₹32 crores across 187 transactions?

From unbranded unhealthy food to branded unhealthy food in railway stations 😏

False front page: Big ad about digital frauds, including "digital arrest". Actual front page: MNC honcho loses ₹32 crores to "digital arrest". Page 3: More details about the "digital arrest". Truly the "times" of India!

The next phase of weight loss drugs in India - focus on costs, and need for qualified prescribers to expand use-cases.

₹32 *CRORES*? Transfers of ₹2 crores and ₹2.4 crores? 187 transactions? Don't banks track such high value transactions at all?

It's no wonder BJP is trying to kick the Census (due around 2020) can as long as it can. It is likely to be BJP's worst nightmare —"The forthcoming census will transform how power is distributed in India by caste, gender, culture and geography. It will really count."

I asked ChatGPT to find a connection/link between the elements mentioned on-screen in the Varanasi teaser: tinyurl.com/varanasiteaser And it did a pretty interesting job!!

I asked ChatGPT to fact-check, "The country’s lone listed company that invests 100% of its profits in serving the countrymen through education, health services, research and nation-building!".

"There have been efforts to impose a Sanatan heritage on folk history and culture and people need to resist such attempts at “Sanatanisation” of our native cultures".

AI honouring the ancient workplace tradition of making things up with confidence 🤭

A mere ₹2L fine for adding an innocent, completely unrelated man's name in an NSA detention order that led to him being detained for 1 year under NSA Act? Seriously? Shouldn't the punishment for 'non-application of mind' that led to such a serious injustice deserve stricter punishment?

Dinner tonight - Upma made of rolled oats. Delightfully tasty 🙂

Seattle in the heart of Mogappair! If Trump/MAGA comes to know of such naming of apartment complexes in India, he'd increase tariffs again 😏

I hope BJP would arrange some senior leader to garland and welcome them to civilian life (and perhaps politics, under BJP) as they walk out of prison.

It would be really interesting if Adani Group wins the bid to construct this project that is being actively denounced by BJP's accidental emergency door opener.

World Diabetes Day (November 14) is the perfect day to get the news out that Mondelez is launching Lotus Biscoff cookies, overladen with sugar, in India, at just Rs. 10.

The "body of individuals" exempted from registering as an organization and from paying income tax in India has not engaged any lobbying firm (that also lobbies for Pakistan) in USA by paying $330,000.

This day, 9 years ago.

At this point, even if Trump were to share a video on his Truth handle accepting all the allegations against him in the JE saga, people are going to say that his account is hacked and that the video is AI-generated.

Hahahahahahaha 🤣 ('Thaai'—also written as 'Thai'—is Tamil for mother, among many other words like Annai, Amma, etc.).

"It is nauseating that the celebration of 150 years of “Vande Mataram” — a rallying cry of patriots in an India subjugated by the raj — has been reduced to a polarising occasion."

Did no one at Apple or Issey Miyake make the connection between Apple Pocket and Borat's Mankini? That seems to be the default reaction of the internet 🙄

"Delhiites stepped out to demand the most basic of rights: clean air. Authorities did their bit to snuff out the protest. What can be worse than breathing bad air than protesting about breathing bad air? A country that can’t measure its poison can’t hope to provide an antidote".

Seriously, Apple? 🙄

There has always been protests by people and political parties (including BJP) over Delhi's horrendous pollution in the previous years. But only after BJP won, protestors were detained. Is this the famous 'double engine' magic?

Condolences. Bye.

So, AI-agent-based LinkedIn management/handling is here. Question is, are you ready to trust an AI-agent to manage LinkedIn on your behalf? I'm not. At least not yet.

Isn't that Asrani, who passed away on October 20, 2025? Do brand agreements continue after a celebrity's death?

When the reality is bad, BJP resorts to strangling the data. No data, no bad news about poor air. No bad news means, you can all breathe easy.

Achche Din for those who own the entire system.

I am also a body of an individual and I'd also like to get the same income tax waiver that RSS enjoys. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

"India generally considers everyone under its care poor, unless they are at an airport".

BJP really need to distract us (and Delhiites) immediately now, this is getting too much - they should say something about Muslims or Christians, this-and-that-jihad, dig up a few graves, point to missing lines in 100-year-old songs, etc.

Our ruling party's priorities are very clear.

How traveling to Southeast Asia is shattering our delusions of progress tinyurl.com/indincred "The dismay of realising your country is falling behind its neighbours".

What a meticulous scam! —"four containers of ghee stocks adulterated with animal fat, allegedly supplied by Tamil Nadu-based AR Dairy and subsequently rejected by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) in July last year, were supplied back to the Tirupati trust by Bhole Baba Dairy, Uttarakhand".

"When I was 10, I envied my father’s ability to drive a car. When I was 20, I envied my mother’s ability to seemingly buy whatever she wanted. Now, each Thanksgiving when my family convenes, I envy my college-age kids for their preternatural ability to sleep and sleep and sleep."

"The reality is that the functioning of the Delhi government is monitored and supervised directly by the Prime Minister’s Office while the RSS has deputed its nominees to the chief minister’s office".

Message at 4:02 - business-class seats 50% off: from ₹9000 to ₹4500. Message at 4:03 - business-class seats 50% off: from ₹4500 to ₹2250. Waited for 2 more messages so I can upgrade at ₹562 but they didn't come 😆

"Raghav Chadha is no longer seen or heard, fueling speculation that he is exploring other options, which does not exclude the BJP. According to the political grapevine, movie star Priyanka Chopra, also Mr Chadha’s wife’s cousin, is helping him since she has strong BJP connections."

If BJP fudges the AQI data, obviously it will be better than last year. Next year, BJP can't use 'better than last year' excuse. It's time Delhiites find some vedic material which says Lord Ram dictated right to good quality air as a governing policy, otherwise BJP will continue fudging data.
