Anti-Bengal @MamataOfficial Mamata Banerjee’s favourite fawning flatterer @MahuaMoitra declared ‘If you are not with TMC, you are not a Bengali, you have no right to live in Bengal.’
Bengal and Bengalis have responded to Mahua Moitra’s 🤮fawnery.
The famous presser by @MamataOfficial Mamata Banerjee’s favourite fawning flatterer @MahuaMoitra which ensured that the large Gujarati community of Bhabanipur voted for TMC with their feet.
More power to Mahua Moitra for saving Bengal and Bengalis from TMC’s Hitlerian tyranny.✊🏽
Remember this face?
She was an 85-year-old Shova Majumdar, who was beaten mercilessly by TMC goons ahead of the 2021 West Bengal elections, simply because her son was a BJP worker.
She later died from her injuries.
At that time, the so-called 'save constitution, save democracy' brigade chose to remain mere spectators.
This was Avijit Sarkar, an animal lover, also a BJP worker. In 2021, he had rescued a dog, whose puppies were beaten to death by TMC goons. Yes. They killed innocent puppies. They also killed Avijit.
This was his last video. For days, I couldn't get this video out of my mind. I didn't know what troubled me more, the poor dog who looked so scared and traumatized, or the helplessness on Avijit's face.
This victory feels personal. Avijit, I hope wherever you are, you are re-united with your dog and her puppies, and watching this from above. This victory is for you. #bengal
I was ordered by @Lenskart_com to cut my shikha and remove my tilak. When I refused to do so, I was fired. - Zeel Soghasia
This is blatant discrimination and bigotry that goes beyond adhering to some internal memo. Mr Soghasia must be recalled and reinstated. @peyushbansal
Here is proof that you LIED @peyushbansal. You claimed that the style guide that was leaked was ‘inaccurate and outdated’ and that you withdrew it on 7th of February. So please explain WHY on 8th April 2026 your company was conducting video audits of stores and penalising employees for wearing a bindi?
10 tips to reduce your LPG consumption by nearly 50%
1. Use the pressure cooker - Pressure cooking reduces cooking time by 30–70%, especially for dals, beans, potatoes, and meats.
2. Soak pulses, beans and rice - Soaking reduces cooking time significantly.
Typical soaking times:
• Rajma / chana: 8–10 hours
• Dals: 30–60 minutes
• Rice: 20–30 minutes
Soaked foods cook 30–50% faster, saving LPG.
3. Use the right sized burner - On most Indian gas stoves:
• Small burner → tea, tadka, reheating
• Large burner → pressure cooking, boiling water
Using a large burner for small vessels wastes gas.
Don’t use the large burner for all the cooking. Flame should not burn beyond the circumference of the pan.
4. Cook with lids on -
Cooking with a lid
• Retains heat
• Reduces evaporation
• Speeds up cooking
This can reduce fuel use by 20–25%.
5. Cut vegetables smaller - Smaller pieces cook faster because:
• More surface area
• Faster heat penetration & faster cooking
Example: diced potatoes cook faster than large chunks.
6. Cook multiple items together - Use stacking in a pressure cooker:
• Dal below
• Rice above
• Vegetables in a small bowl
This one-flame multi-cooking can cut fuel use dramatically. Even in smaller cookers, you can keep one vegetable directly in the cooker and another in a cup over it (like smaller quanity veg for sambar)
7. Check the burners - Blocked burner holes cause inefficient combustion. Clean burners every few weeks to ensure:
• Blue flame
• Faster heating
• Lower LPG use
Yellow flames = incomplete combustion.
8. (my fav tip)Switch off early and use residual heat - Many foods continue cooking with trapped heat.
Examples:
• Rice/khichdi
• Pasta
• Boiled vegetables
• Dal after pressure cooking
Turning off the flame 2–3 minutes earlier can save fuel.
9. Use flat bottomed heavy vessels - Heavy-bottom cookware distributes heat evenly, reducing cooking time.
Best materials:
• Stainless steel with thick base
• Triply steel
• Cast iron (for slow cooking)
Thin vessels waste heat and burn food.
10. Smarter cooking - Use an electric kettle for boiling water for tea, pasta, or blanching vegetables or to add to pressure cooker. It is more energy-efficient than LPG for water heating.
Batch cook rice, dal, beans,potatoes for 2-3 meals. Referigerate the extra portions. For the same fuel consumption you get double the meals cooked.
In most Indian kitchens, combining just 3 habits (pressure cooker + soaking ingredients + closed lid cooking can save nearly 30% fuel.
These tips are not just useful for the current times, but also to be more careful with LPG usage in our kitchen, reducing wastage and costs both.

Recently, a popular yet notorious #HealthInsurance company tried to deny my wife’s insurance claim claiming she hasn’t submitted all her documents in original. They closed the claim on this ground in 2 months without informing us. The amount wasn’t too significant (around Rs. 1.10 lakhs) but I decided to take legal route to teach them a lesson. Last week I talked to one of their employees to make them understand what they would be facing. Initially he said they never received the documents but I gave him the speed post tracking details and delivery report, and asked him to check the company’s email on which the same was sent as soon as the documents were received. I told him that I have every single phone call with the company recorded and every single email communication documented. Any denial would lead to trial of every single employee of the insurance company my wife or I have ever interacted with. I clearly told him that being a lawyer I have an agency and bigger appetite for litigation than his company and that I would not just go after the company but also the employees which would adversely affect their livelihood. The next morning one of the employees again called me up and said that they have recovered the documents which was somehow misplaced by their office and that the claim is now under process. To my surprise, the amount was credited within 5 days.

Facts below (1/5):
In 2025, average earnings per hour (EPH), excluding tips, for a delivery partner on Zomato were ₹102.
In 2024, this number was ₹92. That’s a ~10.9% year-on-year increase. Over a longer horizon also, EPH has shown steady growth.
Most delivery partners work for a few hours and only a few days in a month. But if someone were to work for 10 hours/day, 26 days/month, this translates to ~₹26,500/month in gross earnings. After accounting for fuel and maintenance (~20%), the net earnings for the partner are ~₹21,000/month.
Note: Earnings per hour are calculated on total hours logged in, including the time when the partner might be waiting to receive an order. Earnings per “busy hour” will be higher but that’s not the right metric to look at.
On top of this - delivery partners earn 100% of tips given by customers. The average tip per hour in 2025 on Zomato was INR 2.6 and in 2024 was INR 2.4 per hour. Tips are transferred instantly, with zero deductions. We absorb the payment gateway processing cost ourselves. About 5% of the orders get tipped on Zomato; 2.5% on Blinkit.
🚨SHOCKING. For the first time in 500 years, Thakur Banke Bihari Ji not offered Morning Bhog 🤯
— This happened under a Supreme Court appointed management committee in Vrindavan
The bhog tender was handed to a vendor who REFUSED to show up over Unpaid Dues.
• By the time he was reassured & arrived, the ritual window was gone. Balbhog was rushed just before Rajbhog. (Source: Dainik Jagran)
If a court run committee cannot manage one temple’s Daily Seva, why INTERVENE at all? Why is Hindu faith repeatedly reduced to an administrative experiment where accountability is nobody’s?
1. Trust the Pakistanis to make a pigsty even out of the @OxfordUnion. And as always, they are genetically incapable of being truthful. So here's the complete story of how this so-called debate played out.
After the recovery of 2900 kg explosives, 20 timers, and the arrest of 7 Jaish-e-Muhammad terror operatives including doctors near New Delhi, two big questions arise:
1. Who or Which location was the intended target of the Pakistani terror group?
2. How did they transport such massive quantity of explosives undetected?
If you visited Tirupati between 2019 and 2024, chances are the prasad laddoo you ate was actually made of chemicals and animal fat, not real ghee.
CBI found that Pammil Jain and Vipin Jain ran Bhole Baba Organic Dairy in Haridwar. They did not buy a single drop of milk or butter, yet supplied 6.8 million kg of “ghee” worth ₹250 crore to Tirupati during those years. Delhi-based chemical trader Ajay Kumar supplied monoglycerides, acetic acid and esters used to make the fake ghee.
This company was blacklisted in 2022 over adulteration complaints. But they continued supplying ghee through front companies under new names: Vaishnavi Dairy (Tirupati), Mal Ganga Dairy (UP), and AR Dairy (TN). I doubt this company would have bypassed the ban without help from TTD insiders.
They could have earned plenty even with real ghee. But corruption and immorality are default settings for most of us. Every situation becomes a chance to squeeze every last drop of money, even if millions fall sick, even if their faith is insulted. It doesn’t matter. No conscience, no ethics, no respect for fellow human beings.
