Last 24 hours on #GhodbunderRoad in pictures, the epitome of administration’s systematic failure.

The naysayers will say we have concretised roads now but it is a job done pathetically if there is water logging on it, and that’s the least.

Not bringing up the lack of streetlights and foot overbridges at this point.

All pictures not mine.

The victim and the rescuers are still at the meeting spot of this beautiful beast and the monstrous pole. In the middle of the #GhodbunderRoad which the driver didn’t see.

Former #India player Ambati Rayudu is not surprised by the team's 0-2 loss to Ireland as he believes that #ShreyasIyer and his men were under-prepared for the assignment, a case in point being finisher #TilakVarma's inability to get going on slower wickets.

16 years but no more desperate to find any place, last trip to Indore explained something finally.

Cannot agree more. #Mumbai

[Vir Das @thevirdas]

Over 18 years in Mumbai. Not one authentic butter chicken place. Not one. You can find one every three kilometres in Delhi. How can this be?

Indian #rugby will benefit immensely with more international exposure says Sumit Kumar Roy, whose side #HyderabadHeroes won the second edition of the Rugby Premier League / @RPLIndia.

#Ireland show once again what the Associates have been saying all this while, “we can play too, just give us more opportunities”.

#India Women’s, meanwhile, fall way short of what they have been saying, “now that we have won one WC, we want more and more and more”.

Add to it horrible placement of the ads on TV broadcast.

Thankfully they've not pasted them yet on the pitch once the ball is bowled. #INDvIRE #IREvIND

[Rasesh Mandani @rkmrasesh]

Shaky camera work, jerks, searching for the ball to get #IndvsIre underway. Throwback to older days

.@BCCIWomen will have to play out of their skin to qualify for the Women's T20 World Cup semifinals following the heavy loss to South Africa, said former captain #DianaEdulji.

India's crushing defeat by six wickets to @ProteasWomenCSA has put the ODI World Cup champions into a tough spot. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side needs to beat both #Bangladesh and #Australia in their last two matches to stay ahead of the Proteas in the points table.

South Africa (NRR -0.546), who also have four points from three matches like India (NRR 2.511), will face Bangladesh and the Netherlands in their last two matches.

@BisleriZone So tweeting about it is what was needed? I wasted nearly two weeks and paid extra when a tweet would have done the trick. I’m not saying this — your tweet is. Let’s see next time.

[Devarchit @Devarchit]

None of this would've happened if @TMCaTweetAway, which has been collecting even the last penny on taxes, were doing their job.

This @BisleriZone water is available at every other place possible but not at your home when you need it.

First, the @TMCaTweetAway pushes you to "BUY" drinking water as it does not provide any, then #Bisleri gets into the act of not delivering any for nearly two weeks while their 10 litre bottles are being sold at exorbitant prices online.

Rs 500 for 40 litres effectively, when the same costs Rs 220.

Then they have the decency to call and ask, "hey, you still need water?"

First day of #Monsoon2026 from the #GhodbunderRoad.

As usual, the @ThaneCityPolice and @MahaPolice failed to clear overnight heavy traffic, and these two trucks collided into each other to cause severe stress to others.

The @BCCI secretary @lonsaikia rubbishes all social media speculations on board mulling any action that heated argument involving #VaibhavSooryavanshi and Sri Lanka A team during the tri-nation series game in Dambulla. #Cricket

[Devarchit @Devarchit]

Afraid to say that there is a very, very little left in this known world which would make the administration (across the spectrum) to realise that #GhodbunderRoad, which may have been carved out for commercial traffic, can NO MORE serve the purpose.

The best of minds and the best of Indian engineering has failed miserably to make a road stretch that can last barely a month.

And then there are instances of an "80-tyre puller axle vehicle" dying a miserable death (happened today) bang in the middle of the road which is used day in and day out by thousands if not lakhs.

YET, they keep allowing them in steady streams, on broken patches, on diversions, on pavements, on wrong sides, jumping signals, driving inches close to each other, and at times, over people.
