@IndiGo6E I am not able to check-in for my Mom's (Senior citizen) flight to Delhi. It seems Indigo has removed the checkin with auto seat selection option.

Lionel Messi sobre Lamine Yamal consolándolo después de la victoria de España sobre Argentina en la final de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA.

🗣️ “Cuando sonó el pitido final, todo me dolía. Perder una final del Mundial es un dolor imposible de explicar. Estaba allí intentando contener las lágrimas cuando sentí que alguien me puso una mano en el hombro. Me di la vuelta… y era Lamine.”

“Por un instante, no vi al nuevo campeón del mundo con España. Vi al pequeño bebé que una vez sostuve en mis brazos y al que bañé hace tantos años. La vida tiene una forma increíble de recordarte lo rápido que pasa el tiempo. Ese momento me llegó al corazón más de lo que la gente puede imaginar.”

“Me abrazó y simplemente me dijo: ‘Gracias por todo.’ Esas palabras me rompieron por dentro. No porque hubiéramos perdido, sino porque entendí que el fútbol había cerrado un círculo perfecto. Aquel niño que un día me miraba con ojos inocentes estaba ahora frente a mí como campeón del mundo.”

“Le dije: ‘Estoy orgulloso de ti. Disfruta este momento porque te lo has ganado. Cuida del fútbol, cuida del Barcelona y nunca dejes de jugar con esa sonrisa.’ Lo dije de todo corazón.”

“En ese abrazo no había vencedores ni vencidos. Solo había una generación dándole las gracias a otra. Son momentos que te recuerdan que el fútbol es mucho más grande que cualquier trofeo o medalla.”

“No me fui de ese campo pensando únicamente en la derrota. También me fui con la tranquilidad de saber que el fútbol está en buenas manos. Ver a Lamine crecer desde aquel bebé de aquella fotografía tan especial hasta convertirse en una de las mayores estrellas del mundo me llena de orgullo.”

“Si este fue mi último Mundial, entonces agradezco que mi última imagen no haya sido solo el dolor de la derrota. También fue el abrazo con un joven cuya historia quedó unida a la mía mucho antes de que cualquiera de los dos pudiera imaginarlo. El fútbol nos regaló ese momento, y lo guardaré en mi corazón para siempre.”

Not sure how many mentions or reposts will it need for @BlrCityPolice @blrcitytraffic to respond and take action against offenders.

A 1 crore earning techie's life has no value in Bengaluru.

And if you're not earning that much? Your life has even less.

My sister and her friend were driving home in my car. They stopped at a red light - the logical thing anyone does. A drunk driver in a mini-truck didn't feel the need to stop. He slammed into them instead.

I know he was drunk. She knows it. The highway police knows it. The truck owner knows it.

No arrest was made.

The truck driver never showed up at the station. The owner never showed up. Nobody cared. My sister and her friend - both injured, both terrified - kept going back to the station, back to the accident site, explaining what happened over and over, just trying to get a report filed.

I was in the US. All I could do was talk to them on calls, helpless.

Here's what the police told them:
"If nobody died, an FIR doesn't make sense."
"Just claim first party insurance."
"Third party insurance doesn't pay much anyway."

And then, quietly, one officer pulled them aside and told the truth: "These truck mafia bribe us. Nothing will happen."

Nothing happened.

The truck was KA04 AE6550. The police themselves said if they'd been on a two-wheeler, both would be dead.

We had 100% insurance from Reliance. Claim rejected. Reason? "Misrepresentation of facts." These two, even while injured, kept showing up to represent the facts. Reliance still found a way to deny them.

The law says if someone hits you from behind, the person behind is at fault. It was a red light. How does a truck driver not see that?

Trust me, this isn't about money. I'll manage the repairs and the medical bills. I have savings. And I have a decent credit score; I'll take a personal loan if I have to. That's not the point.

The point is this: my sister is afraid now. Afraid that anything can happen to her at any moment and there's no one - no system, no law, no institution - that will protect her.

But how do I tell her the world is supposed to be fair? How do I tell her to trust the system? How do I explain that the drunk driver walks free, the truck owner was never questioned, and the police pocketed their bribe and closed the file?

I can't say to any official, "What if this was your daughter? Your sister?" Because their daughters travel in cars with security escorts. They will never know what it feels like to be ordinary and unprotected.

So I'm saying it to you, an ordinary reader.

You're on the road. You stop at a red light. A drunk driver in a truck rear-ends your car. Your loved one is inside, terrified.

And then you learn: there is no recourse. None.

The truck owner pays off the cops. The insurance company rejects your claim. The system shrugs.

This is Bengaluru in 2025. This is India in 2025. This is what your life is worth here.

One more thing. The friend in the car? He's one of the smartest people I know. close to top 100 rank in IIT-JEE. AI engineer and one of the biggest data companies. At 23, he is valuable to be paid more annually than the cost of five such trucks, that too, in India. He's patriotic. He pays his taxes. He stays in India even though he constantly gets offers to move to the US.

This is the confidence our system gives to someone who is clearly an asset to this country. All this unfairness - for a drunk truck driver.

@blrcitytraffic @BlrCityPolice - tell me. I've always avoided raising fingers publicly. But what else can I do?

@MayMayspeaks “What”

[Fundamental Investor ™ 🇮🇳 @FI_InvestIndia]

Dear @grok

How much is the price in rupees to procure a fully equipped heavy duty road sweeping machine in India? If Karnataka Government buys 46 machines how much will it cost?

Setting the Context:
Karnataka Cabinet approves ₹613 Cr to RENT (NOT BUY OR LEASE) 46 sweeping machines for Bengaluru for 7 years.

So that works out to 13 Crore per machine or 15 Lakh per month per machine 😀😀 Of tax payers money 💪

In my View, One machine should not be more than 1-3 Cr 🤡 Which means this procurement should have been done within 150 Cr. And they can be used for years. The saved money can be put in FD and interest can take care of maintenance for decades.

@grok pls give Detailed answer only for @GBAChiefComm & @DKShivakumar ji

In Delhi PM Modi says ‘criticism is soul of democracy’; in Mumbai, Shiv Sena (Shinde) smash up a comedy club after a @kunalkamra88 stand up show. Will anyone in govt (state or centre) speak up to defend Kamra’s right to free expression? Didn’t like what the stand up comedian said? Don’t watch! If it’s defamatory , take legal recourse. Who will now pay for ‘thokshahi’? Will Mumbai police arrest and prosecute the thugs who are all caught on camera? Or will thuggery get away again because of a partisan and compromised state? 😡

India needs to modernize, not necessarily westernize!

1 can of Prime drink costs Rs.1000-Rs.2000 in India and many Indian children are obsessed with it.

But why? Because it is owned by western influencers (Logan Paul and KSI) and Indian children are obsessed with several western influencers.

Not only is Prime energy insanely expensive, it also contains 200mg of caffeine (2 times more than redbull, 4 times more than an espresso shot). Such high levels of caffeine can also be dangerous when consumed by children and can contribute to heart issues and sleep problems.

It's not wrong to follow Western influencers, but the problem is with blindly copying western culture! It is sad to see that 75 years post independence we are still blindly copying some of the same western countries that we fought against!
