Can only happen in places where you have a backyard, a front yard and a country with abysmally low population density, which Indians can only dream about.
भाई, कहा से लाते हैं लोग इतनी हिम्मत? हमारे घर के सामने तो पुलिस आ जाए, हमारा नाम पूछ ले, इतने में ही हमारी आंखों में हमारा जीवन घूम जाता है कि अब आगे क्या होगा, और इनको देखो?
@ShriRamTeerth माननीय कृपया, इसकी लिंक भेज दीजिएगा। मेरे पास इसकी लिंक नहीं है। जो है अमेजन से वो इतना अद्भुत नहीं दिख रहा। आपने कहां से लिया है, बता दीजिएगा कृपया।

@Kanatunga अरे नहीं भाई, इतना भी नहीं, हो सकता है ये उसके स्टाफ मेंबर्स हो जिनके साथ बर्थडे पार्टी मना रहा है। इन लोगों के तो बहुत बर्थडे मनते हैं:
- एक क्लोज ग्रुप के साथ
- एक स्टाफ के साथ
- एक फैमिली के साथ
- एक पर्सनल
@GalgotiasGU The least you could've done is to develop your own LLM that would've helped you to generate a reply for the fiasco you find yourself in. This one is coming directly from ChatGPT.
@theskindoctor13@GalgotiasGU They have infact agreed / claimed to have developed the robot at their own 'centre of excellence at Galgotia University'
Watch here at 0:47 seconds
People like Galgotias University "professor" Neha Singh are the face of "artificial" intelligence who make a fool of themselves and the entire country. Will talk about the absolute collapse of "cute little and naughty" DD News as India's public broadcaster in the next debate.
A 1 crore earning techie's life has no value in Bengaluru.
And if you're not earning that much? Your life has even less.
My sister and her friend were driving home in my car. They stopped at a red light - the logical thing anyone does. A drunk driver in a mini-truck didn't feel the need to stop. He slammed into them instead.
I know he was drunk. She knows it. The highway police knows it. The truck owner knows it.
No arrest was made.
The truck driver never showed up at the station. The owner never showed up. Nobody cared. My sister and her friend - both injured, both terrified - kept going back to the station, back to the accident site, explaining what happened over and over, just trying to get a report filed.
I was in the US. All I could do was talk to them on calls, helpless.
Here's what the police told them:
"If nobody died, an FIR doesn't make sense."
"Just claim first party insurance."
"Third party insurance doesn't pay much anyway."
And then, quietly, one officer pulled them aside and told the truth: "These truck mafia bribe us. Nothing will happen."
Nothing happened.
The truck was KA04 AE6550. The police themselves said if they'd been on a two-wheeler, both would be dead.
We had 100% insurance from Reliance. Claim rejected. Reason? "Misrepresentation of facts." These two, even while injured, kept showing up to represent the facts. Reliance still found a way to deny them.
The law says if someone hits you from behind, the person behind is at fault. It was a red light. How does a truck driver not see that?
Trust me, this isn't about money. I'll manage the repairs and the medical bills. I have savings. And I have a decent credit score; I'll take a personal loan if I have to. That's not the point.
The point is this: my sister is afraid now. Afraid that anything can happen to her at any moment and there's no one - no system, no law, no institution - that will protect her.
But how do I tell her the world is supposed to be fair? How do I tell her to trust the system? How do I explain that the drunk driver walks free, the truck owner was never questioned, and the police pocketed their bribe and closed the file?
I can't say to any official, "What if this was your daughter? Your sister?" Because their daughters travel in cars with security escorts. They will never know what it feels like to be ordinary and unprotected.
So I'm saying it to you, an ordinary reader.
You're on the road. You stop at a red light. A drunk driver in a truck rear-ends your car. Your loved one is inside, terrified.
And then you learn: there is no recourse. None.
The truck owner pays off the cops. The insurance company rejects your claim. The system shrugs.
This is Bengaluru in 2025. This is India in 2025. This is what your life is worth here.
One more thing. The friend in the car? He's one of the smartest people I know. close to top 100 rank in IIT-JEE. AI engineer and one of the biggest data companies. At 23, he is valuable to be paid more annually than the cost of five such trucks, that too, in India. He's patriotic. He pays his taxes. He stays in India even though he constantly gets offers to move to the US.
This is the confidence our system gives to someone who is clearly an asset to this country. All this unfairness - for a drunk truck driver.
@blrcitytraffic@BlrCityPolice - tell me. I've always avoided raising fingers publicly. But what else can I do?
Bangladesh has refused to travel to India to play the T20 World Cup, despite a final ultimatum from the ICC. This effectively means they are out of the tournament.
Whatever your opinion of them, one must acknowledge the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s sense of self-respect. We didn’t really do much to them, just removed one of their players from the IPL, and they took it to heart enough to refuse to tour India.
On the other hand, there was the BCCI, which couldn’t stop itself from playing an enemy country that had orchestrated one of the worst terrorist attacks against us just months earlier.
Kurt Angle waiting for the fight to go to last second before intervening, Randy Orton bouncing up like a rubber ball with a hit on head and then standing up, infact almost like waiting, patiently to get the final blow.
Looks too scripted.

Hello @OfficialStarAir@makemytrip and @amazonIN@amazonpay
Sharing this publicly after waiting nearly three months for a refund to be resolved through regular support channels, without any meaningful progress.
On 2 Sep 2025, I booked a Jharsuguda–Bangalore flight for 4 Oct 2025 via @amazonpay amounting to INR 26,611. The booking was facilitated by @makemytrip and operated by @OfficialStarAir
The flight was cancelled by Star Air on 24 Sep 2025 due to operational reasons. I subsequently booked an alternate flight and raised a refund request as per the stated process.
It has now been almost three months since the cancellation, and over two and a half months since the refund request, yet the refund remains unresolved.
Here is where the issue stands:
After repeatedly chasing @OfficialStarAir for multiple times, I received a templated and unfriendly response that the refund has been initiated by them and now I must contact my booking partner.
Following up with @AmazonHelp yielded a response that they are not privy to any such information and that I must connect with MakeMyTrip since they have facilitated this booking.
After reaching out to @makemytripcare I was told that they are not able to trace any refund made, and that I must reach out to Star Air and verify if the transaction was even made.
Frustrated by the apathy of all customer care services of all the parties involved I reached out to Appellate Authority of Star Air and received the attached response that the refund is already processed and I must connect with the booking agent.
Now my question to @amazonIN@amazonpay is
If the booking was made on your platform and payment was collected by you, why is the burden of coordination placed entirely on the customer? Why should the customer be asked to reach out to MakeMyTrip and get the refund issue resolved?
If customers are expected to chase intermediaries themselves, it defeats the very purpose of booking via a platform and paying a convenience fee.
Also, this is not one off case with @OfficialStarAir and @makemytrip, I have seen multiple cases where people have raised issue that @makemytrip and @OfficialStarAir are not aligned when it comes to seamlessly process the refunds after cancellation of the flights.
When payment is collected upfront for a service that was never delivered, holding on to customer funds without resolution is unacceptable.
I am requesting a clear, time-bound resolution and accountability from all parties involved.
And since I understand the templated reply for these service bots I am already noting down the required details below. Requesting the bots to note down the necessary details and escalate the matter to a human resource.
PNR No: DE9JKF
Flight No: S5-608
Journey Date: Oct. 04, 2025
I am sorry but if this issue doesn't gets resolved soon, I will be forced to take this up with @jagograhakjago
Also tagging the known persons from the involved parties. @simrantiwana@ShrenikGhodawat@Rajesh_Magow@DeepKalraMMT
@makemytripcare Hi @makemytripcare team
It is way past 24 hours and I'm still waiting to receive the details for initiation of refund or other related details.
Requesting you to kindly look into this and provide me an update.
Now do you realise, how cumbersome it is to get information from the airlines being a retail customer, when you, being the business partner are not able to get the required response.
And your call centre team was repeatedly brushing off their responsibilities by putting the onus on me to pursue the case directly with the airlines.
Nonetheless the less, still waiting for action from your side @makemytripcare
