Why is it so hard at times to take and ride cabs in #Bangalore#India#rapido your driver demanding extra toll in cash even before the ride started. Sharing the cab number for your immediate action. @rapidobikeapp
At a stopover in Hongkong, the second leg of the flight to New Zealand got cancelled due to a technical failure. Some of the Indian passengers crowded around the airline desk. And soon the arguments for preferential treatment poured in.
A very stylish woman, from Delhi, said, "I flew Premium Economy so you must give me priority and if possible upgrade me free to business class."
She was offered Economy Class. Her ticket to NZ was a back breaking 36-hour detour via Fiji-Melbourne. She will take forever to reach NZ.
Another guy said, "I have a business meeting in Auckland so it is very important for me to get there quickly."
He got Economy Class and a detour via Rarotonga or something. That's a 33 hour trip.
The very patient and polite Hongkong guy at the desk then offered me something similar with a 30+ hour detour via Fiji. I said, "Look, I'm really tired. I don't mind waiting in Hongkong but please put me on a direct flight to NZ."
He said, "Okay, please wait. I'll call you soon."
After an hour or two, after the other passengers with "urgent" requirements had been sent off to their gates, the guy comes to me and said, "Your flight will be at 10 am tomorrow. In the meantime you can stay at the airport hotel. Here's your hotel and 3 meal vouchers. The hotel is just 100 metres away."
I thanked him and walked to the hotel. My room wasn't a room - it was like a luxurious apartment, with a separate lounge, massage room, bedroom and direct pool access, plus too many other facilities to list here. I opened my hotel booking app and looked for the rates. It was Rs 68,000 per night. The year was 2017.
Always be at your best behaviour overseas. You are your country's ambassador.
BREAKING 🚨
India has officially unlocked a new life level:
“Order Maid in 10 Minutes.”
Urban Company really looked at Indian households and said:
“You don’t need motivation. You need manpower.” 😭
Because every home has:
🫠 The Sink that breeds utensils overnight
🧺 Laundry multiplying like a startup valuation
🧹 Dust that reappears faster than your salary credit message
👨 Someone saying: “Arre I was JUST about to do it…” (3–5 business years ago)
InstaMaid is not a feature.
It’s a domestic peace treaty.
If this works, Sunday fights are cancelled.
If this fails, group chats will be ruthless.
2026 prediction:
India won’t measure wealth in cars.
We’ll measure it in how fast help reaches your house. #UrbanCompany #StartupIndia #Adulting #bangalore
🧘♂️ 🚨 New Traffic Yoga Pose 🚨 🧘♂️

Dealer sent a service estimate for ₹2.5lakhs, without any idea when the spare parts can be imported! The dealer has such poor form of communication, keeping customer is complete darkness without any ETA on service! All they care to extort money in name of service. Shame #Audi
@AudiIN#Audi worldwide standing for quality, performance, and customer service. Regrettably, my recent experience has severely undermined that trust.The authorized dealer in #BLR has not addressed the problem despite having my car for more than five days.Such a shame #AudiIndia
