Somewhere on NH 58 between Bar and Beawar in #Rajasthan.
At least 30 people packed into this seven seater vehicle.
A disturbing reminder that for far too many of my fellow Indians in rural #India, basic safety remains a luxury. Life simply cannot be this cheap.

Dear @VFSGlobal@vfsglobalcare,
A rather disappointing experience at VFS #Jaipur today.
I have visited several VFS centres across India and have generally found printing facilities available within the centre. At Jaipur, however, I was told by the VFS staff to leave the centre and get the required prints from an external shop, which charges an unreal amount for basic printing.
For an organisation handling visa applications professionally across the world, surely something as basic as printing should be available inside the centre, even if chargeable.
Small things make a big difference to customer experience.

Almost always the Indian crowd on an International flight is 5x more uncivilized than on a domestic flight.
People might expect some lack of civic sense on a blue-collar flight, often to Saudi/Singapore, but that’s coz it’s their very first flight. I can understand, But it’s the vacation-destination flights you will find the most uncouth assh*les, who would talk loudly, tease attendants. Misbehave for more alcohol. Even after they land, these are the people, who would talk loudly at public places, and display overall obnoxious behaviour. A couple was caught stealing food, and were laughing when they were caught. My last exp.
It’s mostly coz such people come from a negative correlation of education & wealth. Not much education or corporate experience, yet have wealth due to rent-seeking businesses/inheritance. They behave the same in India, but they get away by throwing money at a problem. It solves it here. But not abroad. If you ever try to instil some sense in them, their gag reflex is to tell you how many showrooms they own & they can buy you out. Sometimes they say it overtly, and other times passively by wearing a thick gold chain & brands that scream in your face. All CAPS.
Your worlds rarely collide in India, but they do when you are at the same luxury resort abroad. It’s the “Bharat shock” the India experiences abroad. :)
The airline lost my bag for 72 hours.
They handed me a $50 “courtesy” voucher at the baggage desk and smiled like they’d done me a favor.
I kept the voucher. Then I opened my laptop and used a 1999 international treaty they never mention at check-in.
Total recovered: $1,650.

This is what great journalism looks like. Katrin Bennhold (@kbennhold) connects war, economies and everyday lives with rare clarity.
Important. Timely. Uncomfortable in the right way.
This is journalism that informs and stays with you.

March 2026 in Indian education:
Record budget—still 2% short of NEP target. Govt school enrolment ↓11% in 3 years. Only 47% reach secondary—half never finish school. 30% pay for private coaching.
5 stories. 5 minutes.

Across the country this is an issue. Its the entitlement that goes with a govt post that is truly annoying. Ask any organizer about the number of tickets and freebees they hv to dish out to keep various departments happy. @virsanghvi
Dear @AAI_Official & @MoCA_GoI —
It’s really unpleasant to be stopped by credit card salespeople and NGO solicitors inside airports.
Travellers are in a different state of mind — tired, focused, or anxious. Please ensure airports remain solicitation-free zones. 🙏
