A terrible incident coming from an infra provider. This is not an outage resulting in downtime, or data lost on the cloud (that is trivial to restore from local git.)
It’s a data integrity issue, which sounds hard and difficult to untangle by anyone hit by it.
A real WTH moment
Read it Carefully. Very Carefully !
From 2005 and 2010, Congress gave subsidy on Petrol and Diesel. Oil agencies wanted to sell 70rs per liter but Congress told them to sell 60rs and remaining 10rs per liter they will give to agency.
But Congress DID NOT pass that 10rs to agencies. After few years, agencies couldn't bear the burden and put pressure on Congress govt to repay their "10rs per liter" amount. Instead of giving them hard cash, Congress gave them "Oil Bonds" and when those "Bonds" will be liquidated ... no body knows.
In 2014, Modi govt came and after oath he immediately increased the Petrol price to repay the principal and interest amount to agencies.
Finally, this March 2026 Indian agencies got their amount back with full Payment.
Congress is CURSE!
GoI just finished paying off a ₹3.23 lakh crore “credit card bill” for petrol that was consumed more than 15 years ago.
➡️ What Exactly Were Oil Bonds?
Think of it like this.
If the true market price of petrol was ₹60 per litre but the government capped the retail price at ₹40 to keep voters happy, someone had to absorb the ₹20 gap.
That burden initially fell on the Oil Marketing Companies or the OMCs.
But if the government reimbursed them in cash, it would instantly explode the fiscal deficit. So instead, the government issued Oil Bonds, essentially an IOU.
The promise was simple:
“We won’t pay you today, but we’ll pay you 15–20 years later, along with around 8% annual interest.”
In other words, the cost of artificially cheap fuel was pushed onto future taxpayers.
➡️When global crude prices surged touching nearly $96 per barrel in 2008, the government chose to flood the system with these IOUs rather than take the political hit of raising fuel prices.
The numbers tell the story:
Total principal issued: ₹1,53,423 crore
Interest rates: Between 7% and 8.4%
Maturity: Stretching deep into the 2020s
These were expensive liabilities locked into the future.
➡️ You can’t permanently subsidise global commodity prices, you can only postpone the reckoning.
By the time the last of these bonds mature in 2026, the Government of India will have paid ₹3,23,923 crore in total.
Out of this, over ₹1.7 lakh crore is just interest.
➡️ By 2010, the arithmetic simply stopped working. The growing pile of high interest debt became unsustainable.
The UPA eventually halted the issuance of new Oil Bonds and began deregulating petrol prices. A policy the NDA government had to aggressively continue to stop the bleeding.
Meanwhile, taxpayers in the following decade quietly continued paying off the debt created years earlier.
✴️Cheap petrol in the past wasn’t truly cheap, the bill was simply post-dated to the future.
That’s money that could have funded thousands of schools, hospitals, or major infrastructure projects.
fuck you @airtelindia.
fuck you @reliancejio.
every telecom company is shit in one way or other.
And I consider this as pure harrasment.
when my mom sim was in jio as soon as recharge used to end endless calls to recharge it from jio.
But incoming calls was not stopped.
Now i ported to airtel network is good but as soon recharge end they stop incoming.
And there is not even friendly recharges to keep incoming active.
I have to rechrage bare minumum of 199.
@JioCare is your incoming free even if recharge ends?
If you guys promise to not harrass then I will consider switching.
Also what is @TRAI doing in all this?

I regret buy jawa.
I have heard from no since this day. No update what so ever. My bike has been stuck at your service centre for over 3 weeks now.
@ashishkjoshi do something here
@jawamotorcycles my jawa bike has been facing issues with starting for 6 months now. It has been sent to service center 5 times and issue reappeared everytime. This is the worst customer care I have ever seen. People at service centre says I shouldn’t have bought jawa.
I don’t think I’ll ever order from @Swiggy Instamart again.
Tonight around 7 pm I received a partial order and then got a refund after raising the issue in cc.
At 8 pm, the delivery executive called from a Swiggy number, saying the refund would be cut from his payout and asked me to pay him directly.
He also asked for my personal number, which I refused, telling him he’d just delivered to my home and didn’t need it.
He didn’t come then.
I went to bed.
At 11 pm, two people rang my doorbell.
It was the same delivery executive, now with another person, asking me to come outside to take the order.
I spoke through my camera, told him to leave, and said this was not an acceptable time.
He refused, kept pleading about losing his day’s wages, and wouldn’t go until I threatened calling security.
What scares me most is the aftermath. Now I have to think twice before doing something as basic as ordering groceries online, because I don’t know who might show up at my door or what their intentions are.
I am shaken. Angry. And deeply disturbed that a platform I trusted with something as basic as groceries put me in this position.
This wasn’t bad service.
It was a failure that made me feel unsafe in my own home.
