Hiding a fire extinguisher is a hilariously bad idea. And someone thinking it’s a great design perfectly encapsulates the mindset of most Apple cultists when it comes to anything Apple does
In the age of fake sponsorships, I commend Chelsea Football Club.
So committed to keeping the game pure that we operated without a FOS sponsor for 3 years. #wow
If nothing else, have to admire Manchester City's ability to be "surprised and disappointed" by things the rest of the world has been talking about for four days.
I hindsight, the way some key players left City and the club didn't try to hold on - seems like some people knew what was coming. Let's all laugh at Enzo 1 and Enzo 2 😂😂
@Random_Gyan Irrestible urge for aspiring India to live in a gated society = 4.5pc gross is true but for select buildings. Here, maintainance is also 1pc plus. 3/3.5pc net is still quite good. Most of the mkt is at 2.5-3pc gross, 2+ net. Redev demand helps inflate all. Yield delta too low.
The boys were so, entitled, so insulated by wealth from consequence, that it never occurred to them that their acts were wrongdoings. So were their parents.
What makes this worse is that the same BMW was reportedly involved in a March 29 incident, for which an FIR was lodged at Gamdevi police station after it allegedly hit a couple while overspeeding. Police say several more e-challans were pending against the vehicle, speeding, jumping a signal, causing obstruction.
And it gets worse still. There was a second police case on August 20: Gajjar and three others were allegedly intoxicated and created a disturbance outside 145 Pub in Bandra, even arguing with and obstructing officers.
Two police cases. A pile of unpaid challans. A documented pattern of reckless, intoxicated, lawless behaviour.
Yet the license was never suspended. Yet the parents never confiscated the keys and told their sons to take the bus.
Every warning sign was there, flashing, unmissable. And at every turn, money and influence stepped in where accountability should have. The boys believed the rules didn't apply to them, because until that night, they didn't.
And so, when we come to the deaths on the coastal road, let us be honest about the word we use. A tragedy, it was not. A tragedy is fate striking the innocent, the bystander, the couple on the pavement, the family that loses someone through no fault of their own. This was no tragedy. This was a catastrophe years in the making, one the boys authored themselves, mile by reckless mile, challan by ignored challan, FIR by dismissed FIR. They were not struck down by misfortune; they were racing toward an ending their own hands had been building since March. The coastal road didn't betray them, it simply ran out of road, as it was always going to.
The real tragedy belongs to those they could have killed along the way, and to a system that watched all of it and chose, every single time, to look away.
