As a self confessed bookworm am used to being asked for recommendations esp short stories. Nobody ain't got no time for novels anymore. So here's me collating a list of my favorite short stories. Hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do.(1/n)

@CarterGiraffeX @JamieDuffDevOPs @dog99_cat @Rainmaker1973 Funny but it is actually true. They don't care much for humans. The heavy fat found in their natural prey isn't us!!

@NKcanthink @reclaimchennai Except for external house modifications bans on other things you mentioned are illegal.

@pulse_pune I thought this is written in different language and badly translated by AI. What rubbish language.

Please get someone who speaks English next time

Does anyone else spend the entire movie turning the volume up and down because modern movies have zero sound consistency? 😭

Story time - I once took a japanese team to a plant in Pune. Auto comp. Jap team was looking to acquire. 1st meeting, 18 member team. 2 hours into meeting, one person pulls out plant layout - tells us, we are not designed for flooding risk, so he wants drain diagrams (1/n)

@matkashbakihai Driving on two-wheeler is such a risk with the current traffic and reckless driving everywhere. She is a great wife. Unfortunately you are a lousy husband!

This is real footage from 120 years ago.

None of the people in it knew that the city around them had four days left...

What you are watching is a cable car gliding down Market Street in San Francisco, filmed on the 14th of April, 1906.

The camera was mounted on the front of the car, so you see the city exactly as it was: the crowds, the horse-drawn carriages, the early automobiles weaving through traffic, the men in hats, the great buildings rising on either side. An ordinary spring afternoon in a thriving American city.

Four days later, on the morning of the 18th of April, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck. The shaking lasted under a minute, but it ignited fires that burned through the city for days...

By the time it was over, more than 3,000 people were dead and roughly 80 percent of San Francisco had been destroyed. Almost every building you see in this footage was gone.

And the film itself nearly went with it.

The negative was placed on a train bound for New York on the 17th of April, the day before the earthquake. Had it left a single day later, it would have burned in the fire along with the studio that made it.

This entire moving record of a lost city survives because of one day...

This is real footage from 126 years ago.

What you are watching is the trottoir roulant, the moving sidewalk, built for the great World's Fair in Paris in 1900.

More than a century ago, three years before the Wright brothers would make the first airplane flight, the city built an electric street that carried you across itself while you simply stood there...

It ran in a loop of around three and a half kilometres, raised on a viaduct above the fairgrounds, with nine stations where you could step on and off.

And it had a clever design: two moving platforms side by side, one going at walking pace and one faster, so you could step onto the slow one first, then onto the quick one, and ride the whole circuit in about twenty-six minutes without taking a single step.

Nearly fifty million people came to that fair, and for most of them it was the first time they had ever moved through a place without taking a step.

The very first moving walkway had appeared seven years earlier, at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893, built by the same designers. But the Paris version was longer, faster, and far more sophisticated, and it was here that the world truly fell in love with the idea.

It astonished people. The thought that the ground itself could carry you felt like magic, like something out of a dream of the future. They even called it the Rue de l'Avenir: the Street of the Future.

Thomas Edison sent a crew to film it, which is why we can still watch it today...

My biggest frustration with American culture is that everything is viewed as an imposition.

Don’t ask your loved one about a baby they may have lost, don’t bother new parents, don’t step in with a marriage headed toward divorce, don’t invite yourself over, don’t ask when couples want to have kids, don’t offer any opinions about the affairs of close friends and family.

Actually, maybe you should. And maybe the reason we’re all so lonely is that we insist upon having so much privacy from the people closest to us.

I have a cautionary tale for users of @theniyo 's forex card with @DCBBank. I used the card in a tube station (St Paul's) in London to top up my Oyster card. The tap did not work on the machine, it asked me to insert the card and enter the pin. Which I did, the transaction was declined. I then tried the same with my American Express. That too was declined. So I moved to the next machine, and tried the tap on the DCB card, it worked. A few minutes later, I get a message from Niyo congratulating me on activating international ATM transactions. And a few seconds after that, a message saying Rs 64,594 has been withdrawn from my account.
I reached out to Niyo customer support, who basically said I should write to DCB Bank. I did that. The customer support of the bank insisted a fraudulent ATM withdrawal cannot occur if the physical card is with me. They then said they will take three months to investigate this. But now, two weeks later, they have closed the case saying customer is at fault. Their assertion is that either I am lying about not making the transaction or that I have shared my card with someone. Neither is true. Their security systems are at fault, which is why there was no fraud on my Amex, even though the exact sequence of events happened with it.
I will file a cybercrime report when I back in India later this week. But quite disappointed that @theniyo 's and @DCBBank's response has been to wash their hands off the matter and blame the customer.

#bhootbangla who knew a #Priyadarshan movie can fail to entertain. 2026 is a cursed year fr. It wasn't very bad but just not we'd expect from the ensemble. Nostalgia value is high though!
