So this @rapidobikeapp delivery guy has run away with my sample. @RapidoCares called 2-3 times saying they’re trying to contact him but he’s not answering calls! That’s all you can do?? Try calling? What’s the vetting system? Why not go to his address?
And you offer me ₹200??
@nykaacares Thank you for your advise.
Will appreciate if you can share the contact details of your delivery partner and let me know the exact date of delivery.
@MyNykaa@nykaafashion I had ordered this well in time for my trip. It’s already paid for.. showing as dispatched since 11/6.. not yet delivered! How long do you take to deliver to Ahmedabad!! It’s not mars after all..
@RapidoCares@rapidobikeapp@RapidoCares calls me at 10 in the night to offer me ₹200!
Then radio silence the whole day. No response since the last 24 hours.
Is there any accountability for these guys? Any rules? Any recourse?
@AhmedabadPolice
I had sent the rider this message too.. the parcel was of no value to him but it was an important fabric sample for me! Requested him to at least return that to me. Reiterated this to the @RapidoCares caller too.

Section 15

Mission Mangal and so many, many more ….
Where our filmmakers took ‘real events’ and mangled them with faith and caste to take dishonesty to another level.
This is not creative interpretation; it is selectively sly storytelling.
…And that is precisely why such cinema struggles to be taken seriously.
Audiences can accept fiction, even bias but they instinctively reject dishonesty
packaged as ‘real events.’
That’s because politics is a money making medium and not public service anymore.
These unscrupulous netas will obviously veer towards the biggest pot.
Being out of power for too long had dried out the coffers of most opposition parties, very difficult to keep the flock together
Things have reached a point where Jagan Rddy, Uddhav Thackeray, Akhilesh Yadav, Stalin, Rahul Gandhi and Mamata Banerjee all need to figure out things together.
Else the opposition as we know it no longer exists.
MPs and MLAs are now as tradable as Nifty ETFs: Liquid, pooled, and listed
It’s always the middle class that gets squeezed. The wealthy are driving new hybrid Mercedes that deliver 30+ km/l, while the middle class is stuck with ethanol-blended fuel damaging engines and mileage dropping to 8–10 km/l.
Once again, the burden falls on those least able to avoid it!☺️
India's Biggest Economic Challenge Is not Inflation, Oil, or War - It is an Unskilled Population Addicted to Distraction.
Every time oil prices rise, economists panic. Every time a war breaks out in the Middle East or Europe, television studios declare that India's economy is under threat. And yes, both matter. But neither represents India's greatest economic challenge. The real crisis is unfolding much closer to home.
It is a generation that spends more time consuming content than creating value. A workforce that debates geopolitics without mastering spreadsheets, artificial intelligence, coding, welding, precision manufacturing, sales, finance, communication, or even basic problem-solving. An economy where attention has become the most wasted national resource.
India is one of the youngest countries in the world. That should have been our greatest competitive advantage. Instead, we risk turning our demographic dividend into a demographic liability.
The Age of Endless Consumption
Never before has information been so accessible. Yet never before have so many people spent so much time learning so little. Hours disappear into political debates, celebrity gossip, cricket controversies, influencer reels, conspiracy theories, and outrage cycles that have absolutely no impact on an individual's earning potential. Ask someone how many hours they spent on social media last week. Then ask them how many hours they invested in acquiring a new professional skill. For many, the answer is uncomfortable. We have become experts at commenting on the economy while contributing very little to it.
Degrees Are Not Skills
India has no shortage of graduates. It has a shortage of employable graduates. Companies repeatedly report the same problem: vacancies exist, but suitable candidates are difficult to find. Not because people lack certificates. Because many lack practical skills. The world is rewarding competence, not credentials.
- Can you solve problems?
= Can you communicate effectively?
- Can you sell?
= Can you lead a team?
- Can you analyze data?
- Can you use AI to improve productivity instead of merely asking it amusing questions?
- Can you create something that another person is willing to pay for?
Those are the questions that determine economic success. Not the number of degrees hanging on a wall.
Attention Is the New Currency
The biggest theft today is not of money. It is of attention. Every notification fragments concentration. Every endless scroll delays mastery. Every hour spent consuming outrage is an hour not spent building expertise.
Modern economies reward deep work, specialized knowledge, creativity, and disciplined execution. Algorithms reward emotional reactions. Unfortunately, millions choose the algorithm.
The Coming Divide
Artificial intelligence is not replacing everyone. It is replacing people who refuse to learn. The future will belong to workers who continuously upgrade themselves. Those who combine human judgment with technological tools will become dramatically more productive. Those who stop learning will find themselves competing for fewer opportunities at lower wages. The divide will not be between rich and poor. It will increasingly be between skilled and unskilled.
National Growth Begins With Individual Discipline
Governments can build highways. Businesses can build factories. Universities can build campuses. But none of them can force an individual to develop skills. Economic transformation begins with personal responsibility. Spend one less hour arguing online. Spend one more hour learning. Read instead of scrolling. Build instead of complaining. Acquire one valuable skill every year. Become indispensable.
If millions of Indians made that simple choice, the country's economic trajectory would change more profoundly than any fiscal stimulus, any election promise, or any temporary fall in oil prices.
Wars will end. Oil prices will rise and fall. Markets will recover. But a nation that neglects skill development while surrendering its attention to endless distraction will struggle long after those headlines have disappeared.
The strongest economy is not built by the loudest voices. It is built by the most capable people.

This #Raakh series is absolutely amazing. What production quality! It transports effortlessly you back to the 70s.
And fantastic performances by all.. scary for the weak hearted like me, I can’t watch more than 30 mins at a go.
#Breaking : Inside story of what transpired at Bhupendra Yadav's house :
TMC rebel MP's were divided in two lots - one wanting to completely walk away from TMC, leaving its symbol and identity behind. This line of thought was being championed by the younger MP's like Sayoni, June, Mitali.
The other MP's wanted the opposite - that they get to become the original TMC
At this moment - these MP's will be parked with a political party of North east. They will continue to be there till the next Lok Sabha elections - and maybe before the elections they will merge in the BJP.
BJP is unwilling to take the muslim MP's like yusuf pathan and others who are now in the rebel camp and perhaps will not take them before 2029 election as well. What happens to them before 2029 election remains to be seen.
Right now by merging these rebels with another political party, they have been saved from a possible anti-defection and will continue to hold their seats in Lok Sabha
Annamalai joined BJP when it's ruling at the centre and also in 75% of the states
When it's led by stars like Modi and Shah
When it's having immense cash resources.
Tamilisai joined this party when it had nothing. A party that had no future
For that I salute this woman
હવેથી અમદાવાદથી જેને એક જ દિવસમાં સોમનાથદાદાનાં દર્શન કરીને પરત આવવું હોય તો એ શક્ય છે. (મારા જેવા દાદાનાં ભક્તને જે દર વર્ષે એક વખત એમનાં દર્શને જાય છે એમનાં માટે તો ખાસ.)
સવારે 6 વાગ્યે અમદાવાદથી નીકળીને 1250 વાગ્યે વેરાવળ ઉતરી જવું. પરત આવવાની ટ્રેન ત્રણ કલાક પછી એટલેકે 1550 વાગ્યે વેરાવળથી ઉપડશે.
હવે , વેરાવળ સ્ટેશનની બહાર અસંખ્ય છકડા મળે છે એમાંથી એક ભાડે કરીને અને તેને મંદિરની બહાર જ વેઇટ કરાવીને દાદાનાં શાંતિથી દર્શન કરી શકાય છે. ત્યારબાદ એ જ છકડામાં વેરાવળ સ્ટેશન પરત આવી શકાય છે અને બપોરે આરામથી 3.50ની પરત ટ્રેનમાં અમદાવાદ આવી શકાય છે.
બીજું, અત્યારે સોમનાથ સ્ટેશનનું રીનોવેશન ચાલે છે, જ્યારે એ પૂર્ણ થશે પછી તો આપણી પાસે જે કોઈ નાનોમોટો સમાન હોય તેને સ્ટેશનનાં ક્લોક રૂમમાં મુકીને ચાલીને દર્શન કરવા જઈ શકાય છે.
મુસાફરીમાં અને વેરાવળ ઉતર્યા પછી પણ ભોજનનો પ્રશ્ન રહેતો નથી. વંદે ભારતમાં ટીકીટનાં દરમાં ભોજન પણ સામેલ હોય છે. આ નવી વ્યવસ્થાથી જે એક આખો દિવસ સોમનાથ રહેવું પડતું અને તેના લીધે હોટલનો અને ભોજનનો જે વધારાનો ખર્ચ થતો એ કદાચ આવવા-જવા બંને ટીકીટમાં જ સામેલ થઇ જશે.
(નોંધ: અત્યારે પણ જે રીતે અમદાવાદ-વેરાવળ વંદે ભારત ચાલી રહી છે એમાં આમ કરવું શક્ય હોઈ શકે છે. કદાચ આવવા-જવા વચ્ચેની ટ્રેનનો સમય ઓછો હોઈ શકે છે.)
