Good and I hope she wins because it is the seat she paid for and if the parents were so worried about their children crying they should have paid for their own window seats. Just because your kids are throwing a tantrum doesn’t allow you to force others to give up the comfort they have paid for.
I was in the grocery store today and the man in front of me… his card kept declining. He had two kids with him and they were slowly putting their items back one by one. He kept whispering, “Daddy’s trying. I’m sorry.” Then the lady behind me tapped him and said, “Put everything back in the cart. All of it. Kids shouldn’t feel their parent’s stress.” She paid the whole bill and walked off like it was nothing—no bragging, no camera, no attention. Just pure humanity. People like that still exist and they deserve every blessing coming their way.
16 years ago to the day.
When my daughters and I went to pick up my Ford Fiesta.
I still have the car 😀 The driver side window does not roll down and there are many battle scars all round, but it runs like makkhan. Drivers-for-hire marvel at its excellent condition.
this is the grind culture in mumbai i’m so proud of
got in the back of a local black and yellow cab and saw a qr code hanging from the front seat
i assumed it was a payment code and was already impressed with the efficiency so i asked the driver
turns out it’s his kid’s youtube channel where he makes rap music.
let me remind you he doesn’t come from privilege, probably not v educated, but he took what he got, and maximised it into a distribution channel on wheels
now everytime his dad carries a curious passenger, kid gets views
so simple yet so enterprising
this is agency.
On 14th of this month, I met with a terrible accident.
My XUV was completely butchered by a truck (on the Bangalore-Chennai highway).
The vehicle is gone. But I walked out alive. And that’s only because of the sheer structural strength of the machine (though the news in local WA group was that the XUV driver is dead :D ).
In those few minutes waiting for help, I kept thinking:
if I had been just 2 seconds faster, I’d have avoided the truck.
But then, the accident would have 100% killed the Ertiga family (couple+ kid) driving behind me.
They survived because my XUV absorbed the load.
So yeah, thanks to @anandmahindra and the engineering team at @MahindraRise
The xuv is gone (now being auctioned to scrap dealers by the insurance co).
Of course, I now need to figure out my next one (my driving+podcast season 2 was supposed to start from next week / delayed till I figure this out).
Feel free to recommend.
