@poojaofficial5 There have been lot of time I have refused a window seat if I am traveling with a kid and no one forces me otherwise. Other times when I am traveling by myself, I imagine my parents in similar situation and simply empathize and swap the seats. Not big deal!

[Debashree Panda @debashree161]

@poojaofficial5 Is it legal to ask for money for a seat? Railways should fine such people for asking for money for a seat. Either you agree to exchanging the seat or you politely refuse. Elderly do have difficulty climbing to upper berths so one can show some empathy.

@pareen Yes those posts are racists. However, it is a good opportunity to take some feedback and work on it as well. It is a good time now to clean up our cities, town, rivers and air. Honestly this is one area in which we can’t defend us against racist comments.

@GBA_office What kind of low IQ people are employed at GBA? Is this called fixing the problem? Just pour concrete all over the place?

[Debashree Panda @debashree161]

@SudarshanEMA Currently Bengaluru has the worst infrastructure compared to the 6 metros. And what’s worse is no one in the administration cares even a bit to improve it.

@GBA_office @GBAChiefComm Now this road will look like a checkerboard of patches which will get washed away in the next rain creating new potholes and authorities will wait for the next wave of twitter outrage for doing more patch work. How is this a solution that the BECC is boasting so much about?

@basedinmalibu It simply means Indian students are smarter.

@malhotra_namit Ramayana is not Lord of the rings or Dune. If the audience want to watch Lord of the Rings then they will watch Lord of the Rings. Don’t have to create a Lord of the Rings out of Ramayana. Emotions and acting comes first in Ramayana. Vfx comes much later. Don’t westernize this.

@RailwaySeva @drmljn You are letting in people from other compartments to enter 1ac compartment in this train. The bathrooms are filthy and not at all what one would expect in 1 AC compartment. Please take care of H1 compartment in train no 22534. Very bad state of this train. @RailMinIndia

[Debashree Panda @debashree161]

The 1ac coach and bathrooms in train no 22534 YPR Gorakhpur express are extremely dirty and unhygienic. @indianrail @RailMinIndia @AshwiniVaishnaw Please do the needful. Please note this is the condition at the very first station of the train’s route. #IndianRailways @RailwaySeva

@TimesNow Looks like the traffic is fast in Mumbai. In Bengaluru children travel 3 hrs for 2 kms from school to home.

Modi & The Collapsing Indian Cities

India proudly calls itself a $4 trillion economy — soon to become $5 trillion, they say.
Credit, no doubt, goes to 11 years of Modi’s leadership. On paper, everything looks glorious — GDP numbers rising, global image shining, and the dream of Viksit Bharat echoing everywhere.

But what’s the use of numbers when our cities — the very mirrors of growth — are collapsing?
Step out of your home in any metro — Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad — and you’ll see the same story: broken roads, choked drains, encroached footpaths, unlivable traffic, and corruption at every level.

Yes, technically, these are “state subjects.” But if every single major city is in shambles, doesn’t the Centre carry some moral responsibility?
You can’t look away forever and say, “Urban development is a state matter.”
It’s time the Centre steps in, not just with slogans, but with a national blueprint for city governance —
⚫️Standard road construction guidelines,
⚫️Long-lasting utility ducts,
⚫️Proper stormwater and sewage systems,
⚫️Independent civic audit teams,
⚫️And a ruthless clean-up of municipal corruption.

Right now, municipal corporations have become collection centers — for politicians, for babus, for contractors. Everyone eats, and citizens suffer. Roads last weeks, drains collapse in one rain, and yet, tenders keep rolling with zero accountability.

You want to stop the brain drain, but you can’t even fix a drain.
People are losing hope — they’ve stopped believing their votes matter.

If we can’t fix basic minimum standards and plug leakages, even a $50 trillion economy will not change the ground reality.
Development cannot ride on broken roads and leaking drains.

@narendramodi ji, India needs not just a visionary Prime Minister — it needs a leader who takes charge of her cities.
Please step up and rescue India’s urban future before it completely collapses. 🙏🏻

@AppyOrtho Yes, shut down the H1Bs. All the best brains of my country get drained to the US for better money. They should all return and help build their own country India which can offer everything they get in the US and much more. We are on the same page on this one.
