BCCI is a joke

[Cricbuzz @cricbuzz]

"Bengaluru was originally designated to host the Final. However, owing to certain requirements from the local association and authorities that were beyond the scope of BCCI's established guidelines and protocols, the venue has been shifted and reassigned."

Statement from the BCCI.

[Udit @udit_buch]

It should always be final in the defending champions home & qualifiers in runner up last season home. But we always know the shenanigans of BCCI

I've sought clarity from India's regulator on Air India pilots allowing a teenage passenger into the cockpit & briefly shutting the cockpit door after landing & parking in Delhi. AI manual, as per a pilot, says "Customers are NOT permitted into the flight deck at all times". Are kids exempted?

[Sushanth Shenoy @SushanthShenoy]

What's up with @substack requiring me to verify my age? Understand this is due to Aus law, but why are they enforcing it in India? Super annoying :(

[Sushanth Shenoy @SushanthShenoy]

Genuinely curious- apart from Hosur all the other destinations are very well covered by existing rail- why do we need RRTS? How will it be better than operating regular/ MEMU trains from Blr to these destinations?

[P C Mohan @PCMohanMP]

Raised a Notice under Rule 377 in the Lok Sabha seeking RRTS corridors around Bengaluru covering Tumakuru, Hosur, Kolar, Ramanagara and Mandya. @OfficialBMRCL must cancel the ₹1.2 Cr DPR for Metro to Tumakuru. Metro is inefficient for regional travel; RRTS is the only solution⚠️

Still haven't understood what the point of the Lenskart subscription is- I prolly have 5 different free subscription codes lying around lol

[Madhav Chanchani @madhavchanchani]

Lenskart’s subscription product had 7.4 million active members as of September 2025.

For context, Zomato Gold had 12.1 million active members as of March 2025.

Only when you attend live events outside India do you realise how raw a deal we get back home

@flyspicejet

[Sushanth Shenoy @SushanthShenoy]

Even if you're stuck on an island facing a tsunami and @flyspicejet is the only airline flying people out, DO NOT FLY Spice Jet

Terrible terrible airline, truly should not be in business

[Sushanth Shenoy @SushanthShenoy]

@flyspicejet I had one cabin suitcase and one laptop bag with me at the gate

Most airlines consider only suitcase weight for cabin luggage (this was under 7KG), but not Spice

Together, weight came to 11 KGs.

I said ok, pls check in the suitcase, but they refused- "checkin counter closed"

[Sushanth Shenoy @SushanthShenoy]

@flyspicejet Absolute jokers running the airline- no wonder Indigo is killing it- considering this is their competition

[Sushanth Shenoy @SushanthShenoy]

@flyspicejet Said either reduce weight or pay 750/ extra Kg (3.5k for me)

But just beyond the gate, they had 15- 20 suitcases kept for checking in "because there's no space in the flight"

[Sushanth Shenoy @SushanthShenoy]

They're taking tips from their Indian counterparts😂

[Roy Wood Jr- Ex Jedi @roywoodjr]

Chicago uber drivers built diff. Some Ubers accept the trip knowing they ain’t coming to get you. hope you cancel & they get a fee. Most hold on for 5 or 10 mins before giving up but Ahmad held on for 45 MINS!

Respect

You lost today, but you gonna be a great scammer one day.

[Tom Bellingham @TomP1Bellingham]

I cannot believe Verstappen pitted from the lead.

Track position is EVERYTHING in 2025 and the tyre advantage wasn’t huge

[Sushanth Shenoy @SushanthShenoy]

How did we manage to elect this clown🤡🤡🤡

[ANI @ANI]

Bengaluru | On his meeting with BJP MP Tejasvi Surya, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar says, "He gave a few suggestions. He said instead of a tunnel road, a Metro line should be built. We are already working on Metro construction, but we need funds too, right? He also suggested allowing private buses and introducing BML feeder buses. I asked how much money has come from Delhi. I told them I will also come, meet the Prime Minister, and get funds sanctioned...If you don’t have a car, you won’t get a bride at home, that’s the mindset...The PM should be approached to get the funds. Everyone gives advice, but funds are necessary. How many people travel by bus anyway? For everyone, status matters, even officials travel by car"

@ku1deep If this is for a B2B use-case, do checkout @skydo_official. Seamless product and great customer service

[Tejasvi Surya @Tejasvi_Surya]

What a joke this tunnel obsession has become!

Every day, a new alignment is announced, a new exit or entry point is altered. And all of this is done in the most ad hoc and whimsical manner.

Even people building a small house on a 30x40 Site will have better planning than the ones heading this project.

Stop this madness and build metro on time, give us better roads and complete the pending projects.

[Sushanth Shenoy @SushanthShenoy]

Date formats on excel are worst things ever!

[Khushi @KhushiBothra_]

I leave Chennai airport feeling frustrated every single time because why the fuck would you make people take a buggy with their luggage and go all the way up to a mall to get a cab. Incompetent people are running the airport making everything so inefficient.

Always knew tennis was a demanding sport, but since I started playing recently, my respect for pros went up 1000x. Watching Alcaraz vs Sinner today feels like they’re playing a different sport entirely 🙏
