Even the best airlines are slipping in quality. My college going daughter’s bag was pilfered on a @SingaporeAir flight from JFK. Expensive Items taken out and bag damaged surely with the help of @JFKairport X-ray machine. 3 weeks and no response from @SingaporeAir - pathetic!
Angela Rayner has got one thing right. Britain needs a tourism tax https://t.co/Fallm7bcr9 Tourism tax would be welcome but it should go straight to the cities coffers. There will be a direct benefit to the cities and will hopefully trickle down to better experience for tourists
I have serious issues with her sharing her password. As an ex-banker and an army brat this is a grave secrecy violation and a CBI enquiry justified. The ethics committee is just a committee. She has full rights to appeal this in court if she wants. #MahuaExpelled
So a 104 page ethics committee report is tabled in Mahua Moitra case at 12 noon; at 2 pm, a ‘debate’ is scheduled within two hours of the report being tabled. An hour later, the TMC MP is formally expelled by voice vote without being given a chance to speak or any of the MPs having even a chance to read the report in any detail and respond. . No cross examination of key witness Darshan Hiranandani. Natural justice anyone? When issue is as serious as expulsion of an MP, surely there is a need for a fair hearing and due process, no? Think. 🙏 -#MahuaMoitra
What’s with the Indian filmgoers and Animal??? It is such a terribly film - thin storyline, unbelievably misogynistic and unrealistically violent - who’s watching it and can the box office numbers be believed? Or is it a pure case of marketing hype over matter? #AnimalBoxOffice
Tiger sighted at 3,640 metres, highest point in India yet. Sign of global warming, migration of prey base and deforestation at lower altitudes- don’t think this is anything to celebrate about! https://t.co/E54e86rXJu
Congratulations Australia - you came to win not just to compete. Hats off - must’ve been really tough to the play in this arena. India - let’s take heart and regroup. Mr Dravid you need to rethink because no plan survives the first contact with the enemy
Well done Afghanistan! Played clinically, professionally and with ruthlessness - well deserved win!
Pakistan is reeling under three losses on the trot. Consistently poor captaincy, erratic bowling and terribly fielding has let them down. Three tough matches coming up
Rajnath launches Army's Project Udbhav to integrate ancient strategic acumen with contemporary military practices - LOL - the main reason we got colonized was lack of military technology. Marathas, Sikhs and Mysore used European and Persian technology https://t.co/gVpm8LmhcA
India Pak cricket - my two bits.
Result - yawn! disparity getting wider. Pak beating India (ODI/Tests) is going to be an aberration going forward
Booing - grow up, happens everywhere
Distasteful ads - par for the course
Uniqueness - yes! only place where we interact save the UN
@s_noronha Referring to the events of last weekend in Israel - Gaza is still to play out. Difficult to imagine that Hamas and its proxies did not know exactly what the response was going to be. Kill civilians in Israel and in return ensure your civilians get killed too. Go figure
@johncusack What does Israel do? Hamas is the government in Gaza and has committed
acts of terror and heinous crimes. It’s not as if Israel can go to the government of Gaza and ask for these criminals to be extradited.
These are the rules of the neighborhood, Hamas and its proxies knew it
@tmkrishna Really tacky ad - not sure about the politics though. Having said that it’s probably a good ad - gets people to read it - gets a chuckle out of them - good brand recall. Don’t think it causes any negative imagery and is very topical

The fact that we have become a country where corporations feel it is 'par for the course' to make such ads is the bigger problem.
Modi and the BJP are singularly responsible for this!
I agree. Saw India play Pak in Mohali 2011 WC and the atmosphere was not as one sided. Religious chants used to mock Rizwan - crude! But I think that’s what we’ve come to now
"I have watched India and Pakistan play in Lahore, Bangalore, Adelaide, Cape Town, Johannesburg, and now Ahmedabad, and never has a cricket ground felt so hopelessly lacking in something so essential: the absolute absence of one group of fans." https://t.co/ncak59Lhud
If there is one piece everyone needs to read on Israel/Hamas/Jews/Palestinians, it is this brilliantly insightful column by Mukul Kesavan.
