Once you subscribe to any ideology that dehumanises the 'others' on the basis of race, religion, colour, language, or health issues/genetic or neuropsychiatric conditions, there remains no limit to how cruel you can be to fellow humans.

Festivals always have been an headache. Since I was a 10 year old kid, late 80s, I have HATED Ganpati festival in Pune.

Absolutely awful. And I say this as a big fan of Ganpati Bappa.

Thank fuck I have decent people as brothers who help me with saree pleats or pinning clothes or whatever is needed, and not like these dirty & shameless people who have lost their minds over a bralette.
Same people btw who are very concerned about the freedom of Muslim women from the hijab.
Brainless losers.

Noida woman caught hurling 'casteist' slurs at security guards of housing society.

'Joota saaf karwaungi tujhse.... Gareebon ke aulad.. do roti nahi hai jeb mein.. bh@ngi saale.. Akhilesh Yadav k kutte.... BJP se tere muh pe chappal padwaungi, aukaat me reh gareeb ki aulaad....'

I am not surprised. I am angry. This is exactly what happened in Hitler's Germany. Fascism is unfolding before our eyes.
The Anand Niketan School in Ahmedabad, Gujarat was fined ₹10,000 by authorities for keeping books like Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl and Malala Yousafzai’s I Am Malala in its library. These books were "optional". They also terminated the services of a curriculum consultant.
Ahmedabad citizens decided to read books in public to protest against this action. BJP/RSS goons attacked in large numbers. The police has refused to register an FIR.

If you happen to be rich and sick, then yes India is better than even New Zeland.

In every other circumstance, India is a fucking gutter worse than even Sri Lanka.

[Tony Joseph @tjoseph0010]

Caste makes you think that you are entitled to a special kind of respect from those whom you consider below you. When you suspect that this respect hasn't been shown, rage is the result. If you didn't rage, where will it end?? Next, they will be considering you an equal!

This is the rage that you see, off and on, from NCR in particular. After all, NCR falls in the region where the first caste took shape, some 3000 years ago.

[Sabeer Bhatia @sabeer]

If you say there’s rampant corruption in India, supporters of the system immediately ask, “Prove it.”

I don’t need a spreadsheet. Look around you.

Politicians spending lavishly. Bureaucrats living in unexplained luxury. Officials splurging on champagne and whisky.

I don’t need to prove jack shit to recognize the obvious. Critical thinking tells me that when public servants live far beyond what their legitimate incomes can explain, the system deserves scrutiny—not blind defense.

[Gurmehar Kaur @mehartweets]

You know what happens when you miss a small EMI on your phone, car or house, don’t you?

The recovery agents will chase you down, they will hound you, humiliate you, be the cause of every stress and all anxiety!

Now picture a farmer owing ₹1 lakh asking the bank to call it even for 30 bucks. He’d be laughed out of the room or dragged to court.

But when a BJP backed MP walks into the NCLT with a ₹22,006 crore debt, he gets to walk away paying just ₹6.5 crore.

A 99.97% cut.
That's a total wipeout.

But, I guess, not to worry taxpayers. Someone has to pay for this discount…

Stay Strong!

A 34-year-old man died after his motorcycle was hit and run over by a Thar in south Delhi's prime location, Vasant Kunj - just days before his birthday.

The incident took place on June 25 when Sarthak Mattoo, a Gurugram resident, was on his way to work around 6:30 am. A speeding Thar took a sudden turn and hit his bike, leaving Mattoo critically injured. A passerby informed the police and PCR personnel and called one of Mattoo's colleagues from his unlocked phone to inform them about the incident.

Mattoo was rushed to the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre by PCR personnel, where doctors declared him dead.

The Thar driver fled the spot.

During the investigation, the police traced the vehicle and found it registered in the name of a Bengaluru-based private company. The vehicle had been leased to Sagar Saha (29), a native of Bihar and an employee of the company posted in Bengaluru. Subsequently, the cops tracked Saha and arrested him.

However, Saha told the police that the vehicle was being driven by his friend, Apurv Singh (30), at the time of the incident, and that he was sitting in the passenger seat.

The cops then arrested Singh.

According to the police, a case was filed, and the vehicle was seized.

Grief has struck the family of Mattoo - who used to work with an event management company.

"He was travelling from DLF Gurugram to Noida for official work at around 6.30 am. At the Rajokri flyover, a Thar took a sudden turn and hit him. The least the accused could have done was take him to the hospital, but he just ran over him and left him to die," Mattoo's father, Surendra, told to media.

"By God's grace, his phone was unlocked. The man checked the call logs and called one of Sarthak's office colleagues. They then informed us. By the time we got to know, he had died," he added.

He said that they had bought him an expensive, high-quality helmet for his safety while riding.

"We couldn't even see him in the morning because he left for work without waking us up. His mother usually checks on him every morning. We realised he had already left because his bike wasn't there...She is inconsolable. She keeps asking me to bring our son back. What do I tell her? I can't do anything," Surendra said.

For the Mattoos of Gurugram, life took a cruel turn on June 25.

Their only son, who was days away from his 34th birthday, was travelling to work on his bike when a speeding Thar took a sudden turn and rammed into him in South Delhi's Vasant Kunj. Sarthak Mattoo bled on the road while the Thar sped away, leaving him to die.

A passerby informed the police and called one of Sarthak's colleagues from his unlocked phone. Sarthak was rushed to the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, where doctors declared him dead.

Investigation revealed that the Thar was registered in the name of a Bengaluru-based private company and was leased to Sagar Saha (29), a native of Bihar who worked for the firm. Saha was interrogated and told the police that the SUV was being driven by his friend, Apurv Singh (30), at the time, while he was in the passenger seat. Singh was arrested two days later.

Sarthak's parents have now released a heart-wrenching video, alleging that the blood samples of the two men were collected 50 hours after the incident - too late for alcohol content to show up. Their son's killers, they alleged, are roaming free while they are "half-dead" from grief.

His arm around his wife and fighting back tears, Sarthak's father, Surender, says in the video, "I want this message to go global. This is me and my wife, we are half-dead. Our only child was killed in a hit-and-run case on June 25. But nothing has happened. I don't know what the police department is doing."

Breaking down as his wife bursts into uncontrollable sobs, Surender laments, "They are roaming free, while we are grieving. While my son... they left my son on the roadside to die. While these killers are out on the road, roaming free."

Appealing to everyone from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Home Minister Amit Shah, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and the Delhi police commissioner, the grieving father begged for justice.

"Mere bete ko nyaay chahiye. Mujhe nyaay chahiye, mujhe nyaay chahiye," he screams, beating his chest.

Surender Insisted he will do whatever it takes in his quest for justice, including selling his wife's jewellery and their house.

Explaining that they are Kashmiri Pandits, Surender said their house was burned down and his parents died because they could not bear the pain.

"And now this. My only child was knocked down by two drunkards returning from an engagement party, who were driving after drinking alcohol. Why aren't we being told anything? They keep telling us it's happening. For a blood test, their blood sample was taken after 50 hours. Please, someone tell me, I am not highly educated... Can somebody tell me how you can get alcohol content in the blood after 50 hours?" he asked.

His wife, quiet for the most part, interjects only to say no one would do anything, underscoring the hopelessness that the family feels.

"They won't do anything. Justice is only for the rich. Justice is only for them, not for us. Not for us," she says.

Making one final appeal, Surender folds his hands and says, "I leave it to you, I leave it to the authorities. We are law-abiding citizens. We are taxpayers. I request all of you, please help us get justice for my son. Whatever I have to do alone, I will do. Thank you."

The Delhi Police said a case was filed under Section 106(1) of the BNS. Apurv Singh was granted bail and the alcohol test report is yet to be received, said an official.

"Sagar Saha was interrogated and it was found that the vehicle was being driven by one Apoorv Singh, 30 years old, who is a resident of Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, but is currently residing in Gurugram," said Abhimanyu Poswal, Additional District Commissioner of Police.

"Singh has been apprehended in this case and his medical examination was conducted at Safdarjung Hospital. Further investigation is underway and more details will be shared," he added.

[Dr. Ruchika Sharma @tishasaroyan]

The police asking for Shimjitha's bail to be cancelled will never take action against this harassing old fugg! Also this misogynist idea of dressing "modestly" protects you from harassment needs to be trashed, especially by women themselves. Men r@pe déad bodies and monitor lizards in this country. Your dress isn't the problem.

The scam is decades old.

[Aryan Gupta @SavageAryan007]

@theliverdoc Absolutely agree. It makes no sense to not have digital prescriptions.

Many private institutions already do this, government ones simply don't.

It will also eliminate any errors due to illegible handwriting.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

@PrashantProhit That really depressed me. Time line based reports all hand written. It's just an utter waste of time. Precious time wasted instead of learning a thing or too.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

Can I say something? I'll say it anyway.

Hand writing is definitely good, but I think in 2026 post graduate surgery students wasting time writing discharge summaries on paper instead of spending quality time reading evidence based medical and surgery care, and learning more at bedside should be the priority.

Not sure why these medical records and discharges are not yet digitized. World is moving on with templates and digitized summaries eons ago and we are stuck here, praising the PGs handwriting.

Also treatment and post treatment orders are not guidelines oriented. Hope post graduates learn better from their training rather than focusing on improving their hand writing.

This is the difference between the Democracies of India and USA

Zohran Mamdani says he doesn’t support RSS event, but he doesn’t have the jurisdiction to stop a private event

But in India, even jobless goons can stop private events in the name of “hurting sentiments.” 🤡
