#hicare #Godrej Roaches on a pizza, full page ad by HiCare. Beware of such ads by the company. They fail miserably in giving service when it matters. Co. execs say manpower shortage. Only interested in bagging AMCs but fail to deliver. HiCare service on ground is at best 4/10

Vegetable vendor Nilesh Nage whose wife fainted & had 2 B admitted to Hiranandani hospital, sought help from IIT Police Chowky on finding out that hospital’s blood bank had run out of B+ blood group! Constable Ganesh Katte, a B+, rode him on his bike without delay & donated blood

Delhi should now think of having a CPM sarkar to combat pollution. 5, 24-hourDelhi Bandhs & 3 Citu 12-hour strikes will ease the pollution in no time. Lol...

I refrain from such comments but can't the Bengal government issue a Red Alert on dengue & fight it properly? # Derek O'brien @quizderek

Sad to see some erstwhile good services, degenerating so fast. In case of Ferns & Petals, it isn't the same quality of anymore. #FnP #flower

Like in case of increasing online usage, so also in expanding railway track & signalling, maximum safety should be topmost priority

When the coach is selected the captain has no say in it, says BCCI. Why not? After what's happened ask Kohli for a NOC up front instead

@quizderek WB govt will hold talks but Gurung must blink first. As it is he has now ruined Darj economy for good. GJM must back off first. Talks then

Earlier they used to carry a danda or lathi. In power, they seem to have forsaken it. Lustfree life

Very happy for young Wriddhiman on his Test century. Makes Bengal proud with his temperament and grit.
