@AmazonHelp I have done that. and I hope you will take action. but your 3 days time frame to get back is unacceptable for an expensive product purchased as an emergency buy. who is responsible for my loss of productive work?

[Anoothi Vishal @AnoothiV]

bought an @HP laptop from @amazonIN and have been delivered a used, broken useless one. This seems like a scam/fraud. who can help in getting this replaced or money back. pls rt

[Anoothi Vishal @AnoothiV]

Never ordering anything of value from @amazonIN again. Ordered a laptop and was delivered a used one without a battery. And customer care is terrible!

despite "delulu" (gen z speak for delusional), Merriam Webster's word of the year, summing up cultural preoccupations of 2023 is "authentic". I predict a rise in authenticity in food too--more and bolder flavours over the artifice of individualistic presentations

We study these to understand:
English: communication, empathy, sharing ideas
History: the past and those who shaped it
Geography: knowledge of the world, its climate, economy, people
RE: what people believe, and how it impacts their culture
That's why they're called HUMANITIES.

The exit of Iran's security chief Ali Shamkhani and the appointment of his IRGC-backed successor suggests a more conservative approach which has implications for dealing with protests, Iran's proxies and the US. My premium story in @StratNewsGlobal @atulaneja @AnoothiV

sadly, my impression too. Lucknowi food is one of the toughest Indian cuisines to master because chefs need to have precision plus subtlety. it is dying because the culture itself is no longer understood and the patience to hone skills is not there in the insta age of chefs!

The Empire strikes back. Even as CharlesIII gets coronated, curry and kohinoor are equally out of step in post Brexit, pandemic, cost of living crisis hit London. Regional Indian, Asian, African food is driving trends and retail. My cover story today https://t.co/LgDKWkok2M

The silent treatment is a form of emotional abuse.

Intentionally punishing someone with removal of love is a coping mechanism of emotionally immature people.

It says: when you do something I don't like, I deny your very existence.

The team that led Zomato to a successful public listing and beyond—leadership as well as middle management—is largely out of the company now. Insult to injury, a lot of people who left in these months were let go quite unceremoniously.

A new new Indian gastronomy is taking shape--almost like an art house movement, and it's creators are mostly women subverting exisisting restaurant tropes. My piece today https://t.co/HiFJacMCuW

When Bollywood actor #VarunDhawan at a cinema roundtable said “Kannad cinema”, there was a backlash from filmmakers from the South.

As a Hindi speaker, Dhawan's pronunciation is correct.

So why has such a minor issue – a misplaced “a” – created so much political and cultural heat?
