Wrong side driving is not a victimless crime. Everyday many suffer mentally and physically. Enough is enough, please start cracking down and disciplining motorists!

@goibibo I get that everyone wants to use AI these days. Please tell which service or product you use for your voice agent for customer care. This will help people avoid wasting money on such a bad product.

The AI agent isn't able to understand basic queries.

@HDFC_Bank I've tried using your site, app and spent many hours talking to your support team who keep transferring me. Please guide me on how to raise a complaint?

[Nidheesh M K @mknid]

This is not a sick joke. This is inhumane. Ethically indefensible. Absolute abasement. Rot.

You’d have to be stupendously idiotic to miss that this is used to, what’s the word for it- no not humour or visual gag- retraumatise perhaps, what she went through. That which has been established in court, for which punishment has been delivered, is poked at here, for what? Retraumatise through recognition?

Dhyan Sreenivasan and Vineeth carry responsibility for performing and normalising the reference. Wil they say bha bha bha or apologise?

That responsibility should be shared by @Mohanlal, every producer, editor, and other stakeholders who signed off on this scene. Mohanlal and Gokulam Gopalan apologised and voluntarily cut scenes from Empuran because it hurt the sentiments of a political party. If you claim yourself to be #avalkkoppam, this doesn’t hurt your sentiments towards her?

As for the hero, the director and the script writers, since they only created this, I can only wish they’d have some shame and humanity. Some day. Some day.

[Suraj Kumar Talreja @suritalreja]

EPFO now thinks your own money is a luxury.

You work for years. Every month, a part of your salary is forcefully deducted as PF, no choice, no say.

Earlier, if you weren’t employed for 2 months, you could withdraw your PF.

Now they’ve made it 12 months.

And pension withdrawal? 36 months.

So if you lose your job today, you can’t touch your own money for a year.

How is this fair?

You save because they force you to, and when you actually need it, they lock it away.

This isn’t reform.

It’s bureaucratic cruelty against employees.

Our friend Surendhar Kuppusamy (@beingsurendar) has been a victim of major financial fraud, losing ₹1,08,000 in an unauthorized @CRED_club linked transaction, and the system’s security has completely failed to prevent it—even though an OTP was sent and his card was blocked immediately .

Incident Details

- On October 3, 2025, Surendhar received an SMS with an OTP for a transaction of ₹1,08,000 .
- Seconds later, at 9:15 AM, another SMS confirmed that ₹1,08,000 was debited from his HDFC account (card \*6061) via “Dreamplug Paytech Solu” .
- The HDFC debit card was blocked right after the transaction .
- The transaction was marked as a POS (Point-of-Sale) transaction—a process that should require the physical card .
- Surendhar had previously given Account Aggregator (AA) consent to Dreamplug Advisory Solutions (CRED group) to analyze spending, raising questions about data vulnerability .

Critical Security Questions

- How did @CRED_club’s system process a POS transaction of ₹1,08,000 without the card physically present?
- Is the AA data linking with Dreamplug making user accounts more vulnerable to fraud?
- Why did standard bank and app controls fail to stop this massive unauthorized activity?

Action Taken

- Cyber crime complaint filed: 32910250061819 .
- HDFC Bank complaint registered: 00625276002991 .
- CRED support ticket raised: #21948188 (filed by a concerned friend) .

Urgent Call for Action @kunalb11

This is a serious breach that demands immediate attention and a full refund.
Everyone with CRED, Dreamplug, or linked accounts—please check recent transactions and bank statements now .

Guys Please share and RETWEET to support Surendhar and protect others from similar fraud.

@airindia What model flight was it? Is it one of the new airplanes added to the fleet? And is there a way to see what model flight it is when we book tickets?

[Arjun Gallant @ArjunGallant]

A shout out to the crew of flight AI538(MAA -DEL). @airindia Great service. Cabin crew & a pilot helped me search for my lost earphones. Didn't get to properly thank as I couldn't find thrm. I finally found them on the shuttle. Aircraft was great for economy class. #Gratitude

Must read thread

[Raj Bhagat P #Mapper4Life @rajbhagatt]

Short thread:
#Chennai, lakes, and floods

I have written some threads about the flooding in Chennai, this one would focus specifically on the lake aspect.

#Map below shows the flood forecasted areas in Chennai for an extreme amount of rainfall. If we carefully look into this forecast map, we can see that apart from the major rivers, there are many other paths for the water to run which appear like a tree branching out.

This forecast based on coarser DEM with extreme rainfall & was prepared by my team mates @smkirthiga & pavithra

Pardon the visual quality of maps since I dont have much time to prepare this

[Arjun Gallant @ArjunGallant]

@boAtSupport1 It's an appreciation, not a complaint. I totally understand that you have a lot of tweets to reply to but please spare a moment to actually read the tweet. #smh

[Arjun Gallant @ArjunGallant]

I got these on @TataCLiQ but I received a defective item with no returns. I decided to try my luck on the @RockWithboAt website since I had the warranty card. It was such a smooth experience. I'm #impressed.
PS: I ditched apple earpods(wired) for these earphones, #noregrets #VFM

[Arjun Gallant @ArjunGallant]

@TataCLiQCare I'm not, to be honest. The onus of checking if the item was returnable was on me. It was easy for me to use your app and retrieve the invoice, which helped me raise a claim with boat. So it's all good. Thanks RC

How is your identity verified most of the time?
Using a password.

P*@$$wO3d is the most prevalent authentication factor for online accounts.

At work, even a single compromised credential can put other accounts at risk.

The best way to avoid this: A secure password policy.
