Our race is for money till some point. Then its about recognition. Then its about power and status. Once that's been tasted we never want to let go of any of that.
Suthra Punjab has stepped up its door-to-door domestic waste collection drive, while simultaneously raising public awareness about responsible waste disposal and waste segregation. As an incentive for compliance, households that actively follow proper waste management practices will be recognized and labeled as “Environment-Friendly Homes.”
A random passby at Bahadurabad yesterday afternoon at 1pm and was shocked to see people were still waiting in line to buy Halwa Puri Nashta in the afternoon!

@SauteedElephant Heart breaking post. A parent's passing away is a life long grief for a child no matter the age. I wish their family finds peace and the challenged son gets comfort too.
A former Hyatt front desk agent who processed over 15,000 check-ins across 5 years told me something most hotel guests have never heard from the other side of the counter.
"Every evening, I had suites sitting empty. Rooms on higher floors that nobody booked. Corner rooms with better views that were assigned to nobody. My job was to fill them but I could only give them to guests who made it easy for me to justify the upgrade in our system. Most guests made it impossible."
She told me the guests who walked up, slid their credit card across the counter, said "checking in," and stared at their phone received whatever room the algorithm assigned usually a lower floor, interior view, standard layout.
The guests who smiled, used her name from the badge, mentioned they were celebrating something, asked politely if anything with a view was available, and had booked direct through the hotel's website received the room she actually wanted to give them the one on the 14th floor that would sit empty tonight if she didn't assign it to someone she felt good about upgrading.
"The suite was always available. The question was never 'is a better room open?' The question was 'does this guest make me want to give it to them?'"
She showed me 9 things that separate the guests who get the standard room from the guests who get the upgrade at Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, and every major chain in the world.
Here's the full playbook 🧵
