Why is there no inbuilt formula in @msexcel to convert a number to words? 🤔🤔

@IncomeTaxIndia Form 156 is not available in the IT Portal under

e-File > Income Tax Forms > File Income Tax Forms

I see 16 other forms but not Form 156. What can be done?

Who is paying for his expenses? Has anyone investigated?

I will go to Jaipur if the school repair work doesn’t begin and the BJP goons are not arrested within the next 48 hours.

If a car parked on a non-busy street on Sun doesn't hamper traffic, no parking rules can be relaxed. Basic humanitarian approach.

Unfortunately cops of @MTPHereToHelp levy fines! I heard that they are too eager b'coz they earn commission on fines they levy! Is that true? ☹️

A 15-year-old dream has come true today. I started a PhD with the dream of creating a system that chants any Sanskrit shloka perfectly.

And here I am opening sourcing 𝐕𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐮 - 𝐀 𝐯ṛ𝐭𝐭𝐚 (𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫) 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 ś𝐥𝐨𝐤𝐚-𝐭𝐨-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐭𝐨-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐡 (TTS) 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭. This is the world's first vrutta-aware, open-source TTS for Sanskrit Chanting.

Insane level brilliant! Superb.

🎶 20 Instruments Under a Minute! 🎶

For this World Music Day, I wanted to challenge myself and create something really special! Presenting the song "Aashiyan" played on 20 different instruments in under a minute. Yes, 20! 😄

Switching between so many instruments in such a short span was both exciting and challenging, but every second of this journey was worth it. This is the highest number of instruments I've played in a minute and I had an absolute blast putting it together.

Each instrument brings its own unique color and emotion. I hope you can feel the energy, joy and love that went into creating it. If you enjoy this performance, do share it with your friends and family and let me know which instrument was your favorite! ❤️🎵
Happy World Music Day! 🌍🎶

What stops @tallysolutions to come out with a Linux version?

[Aishwarya Mudgil @AishwaryakiRai]

Fun fact- Even if nobody goes to watch Alpha, it will be declared a super duper blockbuster hit. Then one day it will be announced a big hit in China- highest grossing Indian movie ever.

It is alright to criticise the govt for the right reasons. But language reveals the true mindset. This guy started by positioning himself as neutral and "standing up against power". But appears now to be only another Modi hater. For whatever personal reasons there may be.

3 Indian civilians mercilessly killed in US Strike

PM Surrender Modi is completely silent on it. Not even a word for the family’s loss.

Deterioration of the @chaloapp has just begun ...

UX was always weak (e.g. 6-7 taps to book a single ticket!) Now ads & bugs have started appearing. Right now I can't use the app even after tapping on "Accept" 10-12 times on Privacy Policy. App stays stuck on the same screen.

@ViCustomerCare You are not really intending to help. You are just pretending to help because its social media. I have already provided all relevant info. Further questions are useless. Fix your network if you wish to. You have the state, you have the pin codes. There's no network in those areas

[Ashish Mehta @AshishM2]

@ViCustomerCare should improve their network coverage first. We were without any signal for 10 days in Himachal Pradesh. Saving grace were

1. Hotspot from another cell with a Jio sim
2. Hotel wifi

[News Algebra @NewsAlgebraIND]

Vi’s new campaign is hitting different

“Not on their priority list? You’ll always be on ours.”

This message feels so real. When other networks treat regular customers like they don’t matter, Vi is saying strong network is everyone’s right and we’ll always be their priority.

No discrimination, no step-motherly treatment. Finally a brand speaking for the common user.

Sabka Haq done right.

[Ashish Mehta @AshishM2]

@ViCustomerCare I saw the DM. The info that I've already provided is good enough if you really want to work towards fixing the network issue. Make someone visit those pin codes & check the non-existing coverage in that entire area! It's damn simple. There's no need for 5 rounds of questions! 🙏🏻

[Shukri Hamk 🇦🇺 @Yazidisto]

They are allowed to burn 19 Yazidi girls but I’m not allowed to talk about it because it is considered Islamophobia. Got it.

[Ashish Mehta @AshishM2]

Be careful while opting for food with @IndiGo6E. We were served stale samosas with fungus on it. I wish I had taken pics of it.

[Swati Goel Sharma @swati_gs]

There is nothing more revealing about the “love jihad” phenomenon than this statement by a survivor - that accused Fahim was told by maulvis that converting Hindu girls to Islam earns them a place in a jannat filled with sex slaves

This one statement explains the entire ecosystem of predation in Indian subcontinent and beyond - Kidnapping. Psychological manipulation. Rape. Forced conversion. Threats. Murder for resistance.

Predators do not even believe they have committed a crime. They believe every gunah is maaf if done in service of deen and pursuit of jannat

Laws punishing rape, kidnapping, coercion and forced conversion are viewed by them as obstacle to their religious duty. That is why they desire a Sharia state

Unless the full force of the State, courts, police, civil society and public opinion comes down on this superstition of “jannat in exchange for crimes against non-Muslim women,” this phenomenon will not end

Rahul Gandhi uses the same trick. Every uncomfortable question that he can't answer is "BJP's question".

[News Algebra @NewsAlgebraIND]

When then CM Mamata Banerjee walked out of an interview in 2012 :

JOURNALIST : Ma’am, the conduct of several TMC leaders..

MAMATA : You are an SFI cadre. I won’t answer you 😐

1. Just got off a call with @UnSubtleDesi. I couldn't be happier for her and both of us couldn't help but discuss the harrowing days of post poll violence in West Bengal in 2021. So I am going to share what happened five years ago just so ppl know what happened. #WestBengal2026.
