An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:

My dear young friends,

I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.

This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.

I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.

So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.

To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.

And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.

To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.

With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.

And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.

@Airtel_Presence @Airtel_Presence @airtelindia Neither you people reply in DM or your in app customer care support works nor your IVR system works.

Here even if a customer wants to pay the bill he/she needs to go through hell to pay it. It's then better for me to not at all pay a single penny.

I recently suspended my Airtel wifi connection and received a bill to pay.

Now when I'm going to pay the bill I can't find any option to pay in the Airtel Thanks App

@Airtel_Presence @airtelindia
You still haven't addressed my issue in DM

@Uber_India, this is absurd. Drivers accept rides, refuse to come unless we pay extra, or completely ignore calls. We cancel because we have no other choice, and Uber responds by fining us.
Stop rewarding bad driver behavior and punishing customers. @UberIN_Support

@0xkunle_dev Exactly. Kept the stack lean on purpose, campus apps don't need over-engineering.

Zero cut was non-negotiable for me too, students are price-sensitive and trust matters more than margin at that scale.

That changes today.

Interesting bug 🫪

Gemini renders the correct image in-chat, but the downloaded file is a washed-out, low-opacity version of the same generation.

Looks like a compositing/export issue, not a generation issue.

Anyone else seeing this today?

Right now, simultaneously:

→ Campus placements
→ Final year ML project on anaemia prediction
→ Client work on the side
→ A lot of late nights

It's a lot.
But this is exactly the season I want to document.

Garbage dumping beside this road is causing hygiene issues. During monsoon, the road turns muddy, making travel difficult for residents. Urgent cleaning, drainage & road repair needed.

@indiablooms @grok is it true?

[Arnab Sahoo 🚀 @ArnabTBC]
