[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

Indeed! To conflate a Rasgulla with an Idli is not just a culinary error; it is a profound cosmological misunderstanding.

To begin with, the comparison is practically a biological impossibility. She is comparing chhena (the delicate, squeaky, pristine curd of milk) with a meticulously fermented batter of parboiled rice and black gram (urad dal). Their compositions are from entirely different kingdoms. One is an airy, spongy lattice designed to trap light sugar syrup; the other is a dense, wholesome, steamed matrix of complex carbohydrates and proteins. Their taste, consistency, structural integrity, and existential purpose share absolutely nothing in common.

But more important, her attempt to dismiss the Idli as merely a blank canvas for sugar syrup does a grave disservice to what is arguably one of the greatest engineering marvels of the culinary world.

The Idli is not a mere "bland cake." It is a masterclass in biotechnology. To achieve the perfect Idli is to balance the delicate microflora of wild fermentation over a cold night, resulting in a steamed cloud that is a triumph of gut health, lightness, and nutritional balance. It is a savoury monolith of South Indian culinary genius, perfectly engineered to absorb the sharp tang of a well-spiced sambar or the fiery depth of a molaga-podi (gunpowder) paste infused with cold-pressed sesame oil or nutritious melted ghee.

To suggest an Idli would even consent to being drowned in sugar syrup is to fundamentally misunderstand its dignity.

If this lady finds Rasgullas overrated, argue that on the merits of their sponginess or sweetness. But please, leave the noble, perfectly fermented, steamed majesty of the Idli out of your dessert-table polemics, ma'am!

@AshwiniVaishnaw sir, it was a great travel in Vande Bharat for first time - 26482. This is a right step in right direction. Request you to ask officials to introduce some salty or bland options instead of major sweets. Cc @GMNWRailway @NWRailways

@JaquarGroup pathetic service. No solution to the problem since 12th Feb despite repeated customer care calls. No timelines either. Service number:- 00249126

@RajTransportRS is it allowed to carry luggage on a private car on top of a carrier in Rajasthan? If not,can you share the law under which it is banned?

[MG @cybermayank]

@sony_india Thank you.

[MG @cybermayank]

@sony_india really bad after sales service by such a reputed brand. I purchased a TV on 18th Jul and it started behaving from day 1. Despite all the efforts by the Service Engineer, no resolution. I have reported support issue, no follow up from Sony. Please help.

@sony_india Also another feedback. I received a call today about the experience and despite repeatedly mentioning that the Engineer visit has already happened, they kept insisting to schedule another.

[MG @cybermayank]

@sony_india Hi @sony_india no complaint number was provided. The support engineer is also not picking the phone.
