Boulevard of broken dreams

[Pavel Durov @durov]

India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.

This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.

And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.

There is an invisible layer that affects many friendships in Bengaluru.

That layer is called urban and civic exhaustion.

Friendships don’t fade because people don’t care. They fade because the city quietly drains the energy required to sustain them.

The traffic takes an hour out of your evening. Work spills into what used to be personal time. Weekends become recovery periods rather than social ones.

You start saying things like:

“Let’s meet soon.”
“Next week for sure.”
“Once things settle down.”

Things rarely settle down.

What earlier required a 10 minute auto ride now requires planning, coordination, and stamina. You have to build stamina to be rejected by drivers on apps, to cross under constructed sites, to take long jumps over open drainages and collect dust on your face.

Friendships slowly move from physical spaces to WhatsApp reactions and Instagram replies.

The affection is still there. The intent is still there.

But the civic friction of the city sits between people.

In cities like Bengaluru, maintaining friendships has quietly become an act of effort. And sometimes, effort is the first casualty of urban and civic exhaustion.

3/ Now @Flipkart is saying I can't replace or return the product because it was part of an open box delivery. How is that fair when the product was clearly defective from the start and the check was never done properly? This needs to be resolved!

2/ Today, a technician came to install the product and even brought the missing power cord (one of the accessories) with him. He verified that the TV is defective by default.

[Vinay @Vinay_vindi]

1/ Delivery was made, and @Flipkart claims an open box check was conducted. How can you claim that when the accessories were missing? My parents were at home during the delivery, and they shared the OTP-this doesn't mean the check was done properly!

@gofida2hemanth @kmfnandinimilk Had a similar thought, they should definitely release some products similar to Amul High Protein lassi/buttermilk.
