Important update: Plz save the numbers.
With recurring technical glitches affecting the 101 emergency helpline operated through MTNL, the Mumbai Fire Brigade has introduced five alternative mobile numbers.
BMC announced the additional numbers on Wednesday. Citizens can call 9076333101, 9076333102, 9076333103, 9076333104 or 9076333105 to seek assistance during fires, building collapses, road accidents, tree falls, drowning incidents and other emergencies.
@sandygrains Finding that iv line gets progressively worse for the support staff while it gets more and more nagging for you. Wishing you a quick recovery. Take care.
Take this as a rant.
Take this as something a long time coming
Take this from someone who's spent his life in factories growing up.
We need to develop a better ecosystem for ourselves to thrive!

O fato de que tanto Oppenheimer quanto A Odisseia serem filmes sobre homens arrependidos com o mal que eles soltaram no mundo é prova que o Nolan se arrepende de ter revivido a onda de filme de super herói
On this day 42 years ago, Viv Richards walked out at Old Trafford in 1984 with pterygium, an eye disease that made the cricket ball look like a smudged coin. Doctors had already cut into his eyes. He batted without a helmet because he thought helmets were for people who feared things & Richards feared nothing except maybe being ordinary.
West Indies were collapsing at 102 for 7. Haynes run out fot 1. Greenidge caught at 9. Gomes bowled on 4. Lloyd gone for 4. Dujon out for a duck.. Richards was on 70 something when lunch break arrived. Not a single dismissed batter in top 7 had reached double figures. He walked into dressing room & told his team that pitch was excellent. Problem was them. Then he turned to Eldine Baptiste & said, just stay. 29overs left. just hang around.
Baptiste made 26 & left. Joel Garner made 3 & left. At 166 for 9, Michael Holding walked out. Same Holding who had bruised Englishmen at this very ground 8 years ago with raw pace. Now he was a shield. Richards took 54 of the last 81 balls & scored 93 runs alone. Holding faced 27 & made 12*. They added 106 runs for 10th wicket. Still the highest in ODI history. Richards finished on 189* from 170 balls. He had made 69.48% of his team's runs.
England were chasing 273. They made 168. Same total West Indies had when Holding joined Richards. Richards also took 2 wickets because apparently one discipline was not enough.
Numbers say it was the greatest ODI innings ever. Wisden put it at top og their 100 greatest innings. But the real story is a man with damaged eyes playing like he could see the future. A man who had said no to blank cheque offers from rebel tours of apartheid South Africa twice, who had been suspended as a teenager after a riot, who learned the game in a bar owner's borrowed whites.
He made 189 runs while his teammates made excuses. And when it was done, he probably just put his bat in kit bag & asked what was for dinner.
An unbelievable season which didn’t end in the way we all dreamed of. That doesn’t change the fact we are still champions of England!
Looking forward to celebrating that with the thousands of fans tomorrow in North London!
Thank you for all the support this season ❤️
What a night. What a day. What a 22 years.

As a Scotsman who came to England when you could barely find out the results of the games north of the border, I found my way to @Arsenal so my sons could share my love of the beautiful game. All five of us hereby heartily endorse every word of this from @arseblog: https://t.co/9jOswyGlEP
It’s an unpopular view but Arsenal’s title is the story of considerable overperformance against wealthier opposition - City’s higher wage bill is the equivalent of more than five Sakas
It wasn’t always pretty but it is maximising everything you’ve got

… and so many more names keep popping into my head.
All of them deserved to win the league with Arsenal but never got to. Still, they made those difficult years worthwhile with their craft and moments of brilliance.
Thank you.
