@makemytripcare It’s already been over 24 hours, and there has still been no communication from your team.

Booked a “confirmed” stay at Belle Monte, Landour via MakeMyTrip for 1–3 May. Full payment taken, caretaker number shared, booking reconfirmed a day before.

Reached Landour with senior citizens, kids & an infant after travelling from Noida, only to find the property already occupied and NO booking in our name.

MMT cancelled it on the spot, gave no alternate stay, left our family stranded on a long weekend. Had to drive back overnight. My son’s birthday trip was ruined.

Now offering only refund + ₹10k apology for physical, mental & financial harassment. Shameless!

@makemytripcare It’s been 24 hours, and as expected your team hasn’t reached us out on this issue.

My exit poll! As I leave #Bengal, it would be a disservice not to say this: I have come to deeply admire the way women inhabit space here. There is a quiet, almost subconscious elevation of women as independent beings . something that stands in stark contrast to the entrenched misogyny that still finds resonance across much of northern India. Perhaps it stems from a cultural understanding of shakti. A form of empowerment that manifests here in ways both subtle and profound, unlike anywhere else in the country, even in the south.
Any woman journalist who has covered political rallies across India will recognize the difference immediately. Other states, a crowd is not just a logistical challenge, it carries risk. the inevitability of wandering hands, the violation masked by chaos. Here, the crowds are no less dense, the air no less heavy with sweat and alcohol—but the hands, for the most part, do not grope. Men step aside to make way. When contact happens, as it inevitably does in chaos, there is visible embarrassment rather than entitlement. What you encounter is not chivalry, but something far rarer: equality. And equality feels far more meaningful. Was never a fan of chivalry in any case :) 
There is more. Women politicians across party lines campaign with a striking freedom, aggressive, sharp, unapologetically irreverent, often using what would elsewhere be labelled as ‘masculine’ rhetoric. In most states, such behaviour would invite judgment, even censure. Here, it is met with acceptance,  applause. What feels liberating to an outsider is, in Bengal, simply normal. What we frame as empowerment  here is a cultural undercurrent.
I have covered four elections in this state, and each time I have returned with the same sense of awe. Bengal, meanwhile, ambles on with a certain bemusement, as if unaware of what sets it apart. But it is a big deal. And perhaps the most remarkable part is that Bengal does not think so.
Governments will come and go. One can only hope that this constant endures, not just how Bengal sees its women, but how, in many ways, it doesn’t. ♥️♥️♥️

Many schools were closed again today 'as per govt. Orders'. When will parents have respite from these sudden and last minute closures?@dmgbnagar @CeoNoida @UPGovt @PMOIndia @raghav_chadha @basicshiksha_up @myogiadityanath @SanjayAzadSln

Endless school closures and forced online classes are robbing our children of real learning, confidence, routine, and a normal childhood.

[Garima Sipani @GSipani20]

@FariHasib @dmgbnagar @UPGovt Online classes are being used as a convenient fallback at the slightest pretext, but parents pay hefty fees for well-equipped schools, not to keep children at home. Blanket school closures are unfair and should be left to the discretion of schools and parents.

Even after yesterday’s incidence , is this the only way @noida_authority ?weather is great for kids and adults to be outside but just poisoning of fresh air with this unnecessary burning at the Meghdutam park , can this be stopped ?

[divya Sharma @divyaSh40297909]

@dmgbnagar Respected sir, We parents of school going children are really disappointed with the number of holidays that keep happening due to pollution or cold wave . We pay heavy amount to private school for better facilities. Please consider not declaring holidays for pvt school
