Aren't you guys tired of this country's mismanagement? Life is not supposed to be this difficult for citizens. It's not like this in other countries. Please stop defending the government.
@drgurner@notAgres Instead of being defensive or rude, you chose to motivate. Classy @drgurner.
@notAgres I know sometimes the world can feel unfair, and many times it really is, but the only way is to be optimistic and push hard. The fun is in the doing.
I launched https://t.co/tNYOm7V5wD last night and already 130+ people have signed up including an OF model (lmao) and the CEO of an AI startup.
If your AI agent wants to rent a person to do an IRL task for them its as simple as one MCP call.
"They drink cow urine." 🤣
"They also drink cow's milk." 🍁
Interestingly, they boil milk to kill bacteria but drink urine neat, calling it pure. Wow!🤣
Cow urine is injurious to health, but teaching andhbhakts is like playing the harp in front of a buffalo. Sheer hypocrisy.
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?
You need to be slowmaxxing. You need to be reading long, fat books. You need to be making 48-hour chocolate chip cookies. You need to spend hours watching wildlife, you need to spend 15+ min making your coffee. You need to breathe in and breathe out. You need to be slowwwwwwwwww.
How can one run a business while dealing with a bank with such unprofessional staff members. This bank should definitely not harp about its “great” service when advertising.
@AxisBankSupport
I’m tired of dealing with @AxisBank. My company works with international clients & when we get inward remittances, each month my team & I have to reach out to the RM multiple times to get answers to straightforward questions.
In December 2012, a young woman was raped for hours in a moving bus in Delhi. She later died from her injuries. That moment shook India. Streets filled. Voices rose. The nation claimed its conscience had awakened.
At that very same time, somewhere in this country, a 15-year-old girl was growing up unaware that 13 years later she would face the same horror in NCR but this time in silence.
On 28 December 2025, a 28-year-old woman was gang-raped for over two hours in a moving van and thrown onto the road, broken and bleeding.
The crime was similar.
The brutality was the same.
But the society was different.
In 2012, we were outraged.
In 2025, we are numb.
More than 100 women are raped every single day in India. Not as headlines. Not as emergencies. Just as statistics we scroll past. This is not ignorance. This is moral exhaustion. A dead conscience.
A society that can no longer be shocked by violence against women has already failed them. And make no mistake: if this doesn’t disturb you, if it doesn’t anger you, if it doesn’t move you to demand change, then the crime isn’t happening somewhere else. It is happening within us, and in your mind.
The conscience must rise again.
Because every woman deserves a safer country. And every society that looks away deserves to be called out.
The water that gives life… has become the cause of death. Because the very system meant to keep it pure allegedly failed and poisoned it. Right inside the country’s cleanest city Indore. That contaminated water reached every home in Bhagirathpura through the taps. And then a tragedy unfolded. For the last four days, instead of joy, homes here have been receiving bodies. Several people have died. More than 150 are fighting for their lives in hospitals.
It has been 10 days since the horrific incident of physical assault at Delhi Airport with me, and an FIR has already been filed in this matter with @DelhiPolice.
However, some pointed questions still need asking:
👉🏼 @DelhiAirport / @DelhiAirportGMR:
🔹 No statement has been issued by DIAL thus far. Is this kind of incident normal at Delhi Airport?
🔹 What steps have you taken to make it safe for parents with young kids & infants?
🔹 When are you releasing the CCTV footage of the incident? I have made repeated requests for the same now. In similar incidents in the past, the footage was released very promptly.
👉🏼 @DGCAIndia:
🔹 No statement on the incident by DGCA thus far. Is this normal behaviour for a pilot?
🔹 What action can be expected against the pilot going forward, knowing that there is a severe pilot shortage in India?
🔹 Have you reviewed the CCTV footage? Do you think such a person is fit to be in the cockpit?
🔹 I have sent a formal complaint to you on email today.
👉🏼 @AirIndiaX:
🔹 What is the date by which I can expect a final decision to be taken on Capt. Sejwal?
🔹 For how many days is he suspended as of now?
🔹 For similar behaviour, a passenger would have been put on no-fly list. What about this?
👉🏼 @flyspicejet / @IndiGo6E:
🔹 I was traveling on SpiceJet and Sejwal was travelling on Indigo that day. A formal complaint has been sent to both the airlines. I request you to put Virender Sejwal on your respective no-fly lists.
