Why are you cancelling scheduled flights from UAE, yet have unscheduled flight on your aircraft at much higher rates? Is this all about greed? @airindia@TataCompanies
@AirIndiaX You are cancelling scheduled flights from UAE and leaving passengers hanging, yet having daily flight operations for group bookings using the same aircraft? Is this all about greed? @airindia@TataCompanies
Back in 2019, I received a staggering ₹69 lakh income tax demand for the FY 2012–13….seven years after the books were closed, audits signed off, and taxes duly paid. To appeal, I had to cough up 20% of the amount upfront over ₹13 lakh as a precondition.
Despite a rock-solid case rooted in standard accounting principles, the ITAT ruled against me. So I took the fight to the High Court. After years of stress, documentation, and legal back-and-forth, I finally won in 2024.
Victory, yes….but at what cost?
Who pays for the legal fees I incurred fighting an incompetent interpretation? What about the interest lost on the 20% deposit made under protest? Why is the department not held accountable for reckless demands, when they lose in a court of law?
The issue isn’t just personal. It exposes a deeper rot….how tax officers, with little to no understanding of accounting standards, wield power without consequence. Their lack of domain knowledge, combined with institutional pressure to raise revenue, leads to arbitrary demands that can derail businesses and lives.
There is no penalty for their ignorance. No system of restitution. The taxpayer bleeds time, money, and mental peace with zero consequences for those responsible.
This is not just bad policy. It’s systemic injustice.
And the best part my IT officer had an education background of “Dentistry”……
Logistics:
In my village:
1965 to 1982 I walked daily 5 kms for high school and to bus stop for college and job.
1980 I bought my first bicycle second hand.
In Mumbai: 1982 to 1992.
From Anushakthi Nagar, BARC bus dropped at Dadar TT.
Distance was 2 kms to office at Tata memorial Hospital, Parel.
Mode:
1. Rich colleagues took Black and yellow cabs alone.
2. Higher middle class shared a cab.
3. Lower middle class took BEST bus. 64, 65 and 9 were bus routes.
4. 4 of us walked daily because there were 30 mins time available. All 4 had to save and send money home every month.
Thane: 1992 to 2002
Daily Thane to Parel. ST bus from Tikujiniwadi and 2nd Class in train to Parel.
Because me and my wife had enough time then.
First scooter bought in 1993.
Navi Mumbai. 2002 to 2022
Thyrocare made profits.
Could think of Rickshaw/ taxi.
First car a Qualis at 2004 when I had 50 cr turnover.
Always then on had 2 cars for a family of 4.
From 2021:
We have 2 cars: MG EV at 20L and Skoda at 40 lakhs
Even now I some times and my children often see “Ola and Uber” as Luxury. For 90% of Indians still it is.
#Frugality made me what I am and till I die, will continue to mentor on frugality for the “EMI Generation” to minimize it.
Follow if you believe it will make your future happier.
Or
Troll me if that makes your today happier.
We all love you Martinez but you couldn’t stop his 4 goals in a single final match. Mbappe deserves respect and this is the worst way to celebrate your victory, you are spreading hatred rather than the unity & love football brings around the world.
@enjoylife33m @shukla_tarun@IndiGo6E@TurkishAirlines You don't seem to have ever worked in hospitality or travel sector as an entry level employee. Then only you would understand that principle is followed only by buttholes.

Konkan railway is running a shit-show. Waiting for 2.5 hours for LTT - TVC NETRAVATI EXP to move from last signal stop. 45 minutes delay has now become 4 hour delay. Help me understand what's wrong.

ആഭ്യന്തവകുപ്പിൻ്റെ ചുമതലയുള്ള മുഖ്യമന്ത്രി ഇതിൽ അന്വേഷണത്തിന് ഉത്തരവിട്ടു നീതി നടപ്പാക്കണം.. ഈ കഴുകൻ വക്കീലിനെ ശിക്ഷിക്കണം

At the Olympics, Jamaican hurdler @ParchmentHansle accidentally showed up to the wrong venue for his race.
A young woman gave him taxi money to get to the right stadium.
He won gold.
Then, he tracked down the woman to say thank you.
It's beautiful.
I buy Kerala lottery based on the belief that any prize I get would be disbursed without delay. This behaviour is not befitting of an organisation such as Kerala lottery.

@GautamBU06 Kitex, the whining baby of Kerala is doing so only in the interest of projecting it's CEO's political party, Twenty20 as more business friendly to gain wider acceptance and vote share. So sabu doesn't deserve a reply.
A lovely piece about @shailajateacher, the Health Minister at the centre of Kerala's #Covid19 response: https://t.co/5jHVHiAj5Y
She has been omnipresent & effective, & deserves the recognition. But Kerala's society & people, above all, are the heroes of this story.
