In my Bangalore society, you are allowed to play ear-deafening drums on a Sunday morning, but can’t call @urbancompany_UC to clean your bathroom 🥁🤦‍♂️

[WhatDJThinks @divyanthj]

Festivals being loud and abrasive is one thing but do they have to insist that they have to be this loud, abrasive and cause disturbance to others? This was well inside an apartment society in Bangalore. This window is not overlooking a public street! These are the same people who call the cops when some young people are playing music audibly from inside their homes.

@cneuralnetwork DTDC delivery partner threatens us, accuses us of stealing our neighbour's parcels and sends us misleading messages expecting us to drop our work and run to the gate to collect our parcel. More than a year of this and the store only says 'we have spoken to him' @DTDCIndia

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@DTDCIndia Dear @DTDCIndia , we have now been accused of stealing our neighbour's parcel.

Kindly take action NOW against Raghavendra. NOW.

Have some shame as a brand!

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@DTDCIndia There is a gentleman called Raghavendra (9060606010) in your JP Nagar, Bangalore branch who has made my life living hell. I am a business owner and unfortunately a lot of my vendors use DTDC to send me parcels. In my understanding, DTDC stands for Door to Door courier?

It's one thing to get your first sale or have a certain MRR or something but seeing a user spend 4 hours continuously on your app is .. something else! Wow 😄😁😆

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@DTDCIndia @abhishek_chuck @DTDCBangalore Dear @DTDCIndia @DTDCBangalore, Raghavendra is STILL employed by the same branch. He is STILL the only person who comes to our society. He STILL threatens us on call. There is STILL NO RESPONSE TO OUR LEGAL NOTICE.

What will it take for you people to take this seriously!?

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@DTDCIndia @abhishek_chuck @DTDCBangalore So you guys don't care about solving a customer problem because
(a) I am not an enterprise customer who makes you tons?
(b) Or people don't matter to you? (c) Or is it that I am a minority community in this city?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@niketrajdwivedi Love how this place outshines overhyped faux fancy places with a good, solid menu and awesome service! Strong basics win out over hype with no substance :)

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@DTDCIndia @abhishek_chuck please note

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@DTDCIndia @DTDCBangalore If we refuse, he starts shouting and we have to give in only to avoid business delays. We've sent a LEGAL NOTICE to the branch after MULTIPLE escalations, which seems to have gone unnoticed! Can DTDC please protect its reputation and RESPOND? @DtdcindiaS @DTDCIndia @DTDCBangalore

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@DTDCIndia This gentleman not only refuses to deliver items to my doorstep but sends misleading messages like 'cancel' on WhatsApp to make us call back. He then proceeds to call us downstairs to the gate at that very moment. @DTDCBangalore

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

Absolutely heartwarming 😊

[WhatDJThinks @divyanthj]

Had the nicest @uber Go experience in Bangalore today. Not only did the driver turn on the AC without asking, he also offered my wife a free bottle of water and told us that he wanted to give the best possible service to customers. :)

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@AmazonHelp Are you serious? What will it take for a HUMAN BEING to call me back? Are there any still left in your company or is everyone replaced with Artificial 'Intelligence'?

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@amazonIN kindly get a real human being with even half a brain to call me back please.

Your Artificial 'Intelligence' does not know how to identify the date today.

Order status shows delivered but all items aren't received.

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@AmazonHelp @amazonIN even your social media seems to be handled by a brainless bot. What will it take for a human to understand that I ordered 3 items, received only two and that nobody seems to want to be responsible for the missing item?

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

@AmazonHelp @amazonIN Sent details via DM.

[Devika Maitra @devmat15]

Paints a picture so beautifully!

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!

@Uber @UberIN_Support @Uber_India kindly do not insult my intelligence with a Rs. 3 refund. Your driver was rude and refused instructions. He refused to cancel a trip from his end. And you'll have the audacity to charge me for his 'time and effort'. Excuse me?
