More than 53 Rohingya families are homeless after a fire broke out in the Madanpur Khadar camp last night

@SaketGokhale @harsh_mander they need help

Sharing my review of @DrSujWell's upcoming book, Resilience Decoded.

Got to write about a topic I’ve reflected on for a long while.

I recommend parents/caregivers to pick this up for a weekend read https://t.co/pRHq97LHrY

@vfsglobalcare If you have a social media team reading this, perhaps it would be easier to indicate which part of the week/ time of the day one should look out exactly?

[Ashima Sharma @AshimaS4]

@VFSGlobal Why is it impossible to get a Schengen appointment in London? Why is a race against time to find slots if I need to visit a country? And I am competing with Internet bots who refresh pages regularly and fill up any available slots? I’ve been searching for a month now.

[Ashima Sharma @AshimaS4]

@vfsglobalcare Auto-generated standard reply really does not help. Ofcourse I am registered to VFS sites and checking regularly for 1month. It seems like I have to take a full time job looking for slots at regular intervals. I hope you are aware of the bot services that book slots when released

[Ashima Sharma @AshimaS4]

@VFSGlobal @prime_british @vfsglobalcare @SchengenvisaC

[Ashima Sharma @AshimaS4]

Why do people have to resort to financially exploitative services to find a mere slot when @VFSGlobal is supposed to facilitate that service in the first place?
I understand there must be high demand and less slots, but atleast have traceparncy to offer fair chance to applicant

What a shame

What a shame

@airvistara what’s the deal? 2 hour long check in queues for international bag drops? Site and helpline don’t work? Understaffed and 2/4 check in counters don’t have anyone for over an hour. @TataCompanies are you sure you’re running airlines and not railways

[Ashima Sharma @AshimaS4]

@airvistara Hope someone notices how disgusting your feedback mechanisms are. Despite asking for a resolution, you’ve been sending the same response over and over. Thanks- I will address this legally now.

[Ashima Sharma @AshimaS4]

@airvistara do you have automated responses on customer care emails?

I’ve been raising a rather imp query and all I’ve heard back is the same line. If you’d rather that I address this in the consumer court, I’m happy to move it there.

[Ashima Sharma @AshimaS4]

@airvistara I do not think you or your team has understood what happened. The resolution is not satisfactory and rather useless copy paste response. If you care for someone to call me, that’s appreciated.

[Ashima Sharma @AshimaS4]

@airvistara Is there any other way than this one sided automated msg that you keep sending about your airport staff and check in counter where I can acutuqlly address the issue?

[Ashima Sharma @AshimaS4]

@airvistara This is precisely the problem. You’re going on about the damn check in counter. Have you for a moment called in to check with me the issue?

@RishiSunak says you can’t be in the #UK if you don’t contribute significantly to the economy. How about telling that to the #monarchy?

Sad to see you’ve to go that far to appease your own #Tories
