Was finally able to get my mom to watch some quality content without being bugged by a random, useless and factually incorrect message asking for her attention every 20 seconds

Thank you #WhatsAppDown #facebookdown #instagramdown

In the past hour, neither have I viewed a story of someone pretending to have their life all together nor have I received a forwarded message that makes me question why I have that person in my contact list.

Could we do this more often?

By the time the people in the 18-44 years of age group get an appointment for vaccination, a portion of them might be eligible to apply from the 45-60 years of age group.

It's been some year!
This time last year I was explaining my grandma what COVID-19 is. Today I still do that but I also introduce myself to her 5 times a day.
Take a breather y'all. For the sake of your loved ones and for the sake of your health.

@mihir_sakhadeo WHAT EVEN! Is it too soon to ask for a ticket to Mars?

[Devika Sakhadeo @DevikaSakhadeo]

Done with elected public officials using our tax money to indulge in a political tug of war instead of conducting extensive testing, strengthening healthcare systems, and access to affordable ration and medicine- and these needs are still on the base of the Maslow's hierarchy!

[Devika Sakhadeo @DevikaSakhadeo]

@mihir_sakhadeo This is almost equivalent to watching a reporter lie down in a bathtub after Sridevi's death.

If this lockdown extends to another couple of months, I am sure to turn into the nosy desi aunty by requesting everyone to argue/shout at their family members after office hours so that my colleagues and/or boss won't have to listen to how your husband didn't do the dishes.

@ICICIBank_Care Its ridiculous the kind of service you provide to your privileged costumers.

[Devika Sakhadeo @DevikaSakhadeo]

@ICICIBank_Care @ICICIBank Is holding in wire transfers of income of people because you don't "think" of the reason of remittance being adequate enough a common practice?

Even after providing my agreement contract copy, this bank is holding my money. Ridiculous!

@RBI @PMOIndia have made it difficult and almost impossible for people to get salaries credited from overseas in this lockdown. Have gotten numerous delays for petty and unheard reasons.
How are we supposed to survive this lockdown without pay?

4 months into the pandemic, my Nani walks into the room and asks, "Does #COVIDー19 have something to do with coughing?"

Yup. That happened.

I got to contribute to this article by @sganzz. Its our research analysis of 2 weeks.

While people are trying to #WorkFromHome in this scorching heat, Pune has been facing power cuts every single day!

These are really testing times!

Being two confused souls about the #relaxations in #Lockdown3Point0, my grandma and her sister expressed their desire to go for shopping.
My mom explained: "We can't do that. Also, you both are 80+; way more than the age limit. You can't go out"

"We can dye our hair black!"

[Devika Sakhadeo @DevikaSakhadeo]

My grandma thinks that in a lockdown she can go to her sister's place in Mumbai, help her clean out her fridge that's unused for more than 40 days now and come back in a day or two.

"But what if we tell the police that ice cream is going bad in her fridge?"

[Devika Sakhadeo @DevikaSakhadeo]

Been roaming half blind for the past 2 hours. My specs broke and I'm out of contact lenses. I expected the lockdown to turn me crazy, not half blind!
