⚠️ New details on what happened inside the Flydubai cockpit, in Captain Smit Machchar’s own account to the Israeli PM:

1️⃣ The flight was normal. The co-pilot said he wanted to pray, something Machchar says was not unusual among local pilots.

2️⃣ Machchar faced forward while the co-pilot prayed behind him.

3️⃣ Four or five minutes later, Machchar says he was suddenly struck hard on the back of his head.

4️⃣ His first thought was catastrophic aircraft damage. Then the blows kept coming. He realised it was the co-pilot attacking him.

5️⃣ The initial blows left his vision severely blurred. He tried to fight back, but says he could barely see.

6️⃣ His next sensation was the aircraft plunging sharply. His memory of these moments remains fragmented.

7️⃣ He recalls managing to open the cockpit door once, but says the co-pilot apparently shut it again.

8️⃣ Lying on the cockpit floor, he could hear the aircraft rushing through the air and passengers screaming.

9️⃣ Machchar says he realised he had “one last fight” left. His thought was brutally simple: if he didn’t act, he was going to die.

🔟 He threw everything he had into reaching and opening the cockpit door. People outside were waiting to pounce. They entered, control was regained.

An unforgettable conversation with Captain Smit, filled with pride and emotions.

[Hardik Rajgor @Hardism]

I once had an interview with Azeem when I was looking for my first job.

I was young, excited, wanting to become a writer.

East India Comedy used to work from a 3-BHK at the time. Sahil Shah had helped me land the interview.

Azeem looks at my CV and the first thing he tells me is - "I have blocked you on Twitter."

I thought it was a strange way to begin an interview. I had never interacted with him on Twitter. We never had even an exchange or any conversation.

So he opens my profile on his laptop, unblocks me (so he can access the Tweets) and then scrolls down and reads a few tweets till he finds one particular tweet and says - "Ah yes, it was this one."

AIB at that time had made a video where they made jokes on cows / gaumutra in the sketch. I had put out a tweet stating that it was easy for comics to make jokes on Hinduism but I've never seen them take such liberty with other religions / faiths / beliefs. And that they were not equal opportunity offenders.

I was asked to 'explain' this tweet. And so I did. And it led to a discussion and argument for over 10 minutes, where I was repeatedly told I was wrong, after which the interview ended. I had applied to be a 'writer' and I was asked nothing about it - what I had written, what I wanted to write, my skillsets and so no. Nothing.

I was too young to be confident or have strong self belief, and I walked out thinking maybe I shouldn't have put out that tweet - it cost me this job.

What I found strange even back then, was that a person much senior to me in the profession, would be fixated on some tweet, and was not open to another opinion or point-of-view that was different from his.

Surely, it would help to have people with different views writing for a news satire show?

I was naive.

The goal is never diversity of thought or opinion.

The view or angle is always pre-decided. All they need is people to further it.

Don't make the mistake of calling the thugs in Bihar's Jamui 'moral police'. They're rapists & child molesters. JDU, part of Bihar ruling alliance, calls it "small incident". Only 3 arrested. All deserve life in prison--or worse. Top story on @NDTV: https://t.co/8Xwkvb8aDb

he is the brother of a 17 year old NEET girl who committed suicide because of reservation.
she wrote in her suicide note "papa, this system has failed me, i scored well.. but they selected those who scored less than me".

"feminist" leftists are mocking brother of that dead girl.

THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY. BUT POLITICS ENSURES ONLY ONE IS TOLD. BUT THIS YOUNG WOMAN DEMANDS TO BE HEARD.

"My father was almost lynched to death. He suffered head injuries. He was dragged by a violent mob. His uniform was soaked in blood. But when I opened social media, I was shocked to see my father being portrayed as the villain."

INDEED. They perform one of the most thankless jobs in the country.
A job that demands they put their lives on the line so that law and order holds.

Whatever your politics, no family should have to watch a loved one risk their life in service, only to see them vilified without regard for the facts.

Default on farm loan, State will waive it. Burn rice stubble, State will ignore it. Steal electricity, State will subsidise it. Attack police, State will allow it. Eke an honest salary, State will tax it.

State will reward defaulters, polluters, and rioters, not honest citizens.

The silence surrounding the brutal five-day gang-rape of an innocent 13-year-old girl by 30 men in Ganganagar is absolutely deafening.
There are no protests, no mainstream news broadcasts and no trending topics on X for an act so monstrous.
It raises a disturbing question: is the public and media look the other way purely because this happened under a BJP administration?
Everything is allowed under BJP watch?
