@urbancompany_UC Your Fridge technician reaches and as soon as he looks at the fridge takes all of 10 seconds to say I cannot fix this brand. I should not be liable to pay for such a visit. If you can't fix don't take up a booking .

I'm quite happy that ethanol blending has reached the "UPA-started-this" stage. Means BJP had realized it's a bad idea and will move to "cancel-it-and-take-credit" stage.
This newly concretised road was dug up for cabling work. Two months back, It was filled with paver blocks by @mybmc.
Now, the paver blocks have sunk in.
Why are paver blocks used on a newly concretised road?
Shri Hari Mandir Marg, Goregaon west.

@marinebharat Your tweet reminds me of a scene from the movie Sholay.
Ladka daaru pita hai, juaa khelta hai.... Baki sab theek hai.
Transharbour line band hai, historical areas main water logging ha.... Baki sab theek hai
@richapintoi I used the flyover extension today. It's a shame @mybmc is actually trying to justify such shoddy work.
Roads were built in the past too but never have brand new roads been so bad. Asphalt roads used to be flat and even. It seems like this "latest' tech is just to fool people.
The newly concretised road that was cut and dug up for laying cables on Goregaon SV Road, Mumbai, has now been filled with paver blocks!
So is this how it’s going to be, @mybmc?
Concretise, dig, then use paver blocks?
I'll admit this might sound odd coming from me, maybe even clichéd. But it's something I've been sitting with for a while, so here goes.
When I started out, like most people, I had a simple wealth goal. I'd actually written it down: hit ₹5 crore, retire in Goa, beach shack, done. That was the dream.
After the Zerodha journey, I find myself on a very different side of that equation, and the dark inequalities of wealth and opportunity are harder to ignore than ever. We all know the numbers on inequality. The concentration of wealth among the top 1% is severe and getting worse, and it's even starker among the top 0.1%. The post-2008 era of rising asset prices has likely made this worse, because the people who hold financial assets are, by definition, people who already have money.
This isn't unique to India. Barring a few exceptions, it's a global phenomenon.
I'm cautious about attributing every socio-political problem we face today to inequality, but it's hard to deny the role it's played in the political upheavals we're seeing across the world. History rarely shows that sustained, extreme inequality ends well. To me, it increasingly feels like sitting in a car with the brakes cut, watching a cliff approach. Btw, all of this even before AI, which has a non-trivial probability of making things worse.
I'll stop short of prescribing solutions. It's too easy to reach for simple answers to complicated problems, and that's a separate conversation entirely. But I think we need to collectively acknowledge this: wealth that just sits in financial assets whose value keeps compounding upward doesn't do much good for anyone beyond those who already have it. And if that wealth isn't in motion, if it isn't doing some social good, the fabric that holds us together will only continue to fray and lead to cynicism, resentment, and worse yet, nihilism. We're already seeing all of it.
What I am saying is that even if a portion of that wealth were channelled into things that could materially improve lives, that seems worth doing. Hoarding wealth, in the grand scheme of things, doesn't really help anyone.
While I understand that politicians have differences with the party they belong to and feel the party has deviated from the core principles. But what I fail to understand is how these very politicians almost immediately start relating to the ideology of the BJP #Indianpolitics
@mashrujeet@RelianceDigital I made the same mistake of buying from @RelianceDigital . They send their own team for installation and warranty support of bought through them. The bigger mistake was buying extended warranty from @RelianceResQ . They do not honour the warranty.
@RelianceDigital@RelianceResQ will be lodged. But no case number has been generated. It is a fraud availing the extended warranty of Reliance Resq. It's a TRAP to fleece customers.
@RelianceDigital@RelianceResQ Your app keeps giving an error while trying to raise a complaint. Your helpline transfers one from an IVR to a queue and the call then disconnects. You make it impossible to raise a complaint. Deliberate??
@RelianceDigital@RelianceResQ I started recording the call after informing her because I knew some lies are going to be updated on the case. And I was right. The service request is now in the cancellation initiated state. As soon as I saw this I called the customer care again who told me a new case (2/n)
@RelianceDigital@RelianceResQ The nightmare continues. The service engineer comes to inspect and says nothing can be done about it. If you want you can take it up with the higher ups. After he leaves a lady from the service centre calls and says you refused repair.l which was a lie (1/n)
100 ships. One destination.
The Strait of Hormuz crisis has shifted global shipping eyes to my constituency! Thiruvananthapuram’s Vizhinjam Port is currently seeing a massive surge with 100 vessels in queue or seeking calls.
From handling its 1 millionth TEU in record time to fast-tracking Phase II, Vizhinjam is officially India's transshipment answer to the world. When I first helped bring in the tender bid that made the port a reality, it was a long-shot project with plenty of sceptics and critics.
Today, the tides are turning at Vizhinjam. With the ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, the world is looking for a new, reliable gateway — and Vizhinjam has answered the call. India’s first deep-water transshipment hub is no longer just a project; it’s a global necessity.
61 vessels handled in March 2026 alone, a new record. 100 berthing calls pending. Expansion underway to accommodate 5 motherships simultaneously. We are witnessing the birth of a maritime giant that doesn't just compete with global hubs like Colombo or Singapore; it sets a new standard.

@supriya_sule It's always all about the political brass and their respect or fear of each other. An unopposed election is not conducive to democracy and the people. But then who cares about the people. It's all about the political parties and the leaders always.
