I booked a Pronto service for the first time, and what the lady who came to help us with cleaning told us about her working conditions was honestly quite disturbing.

She reports at 6:30 AM and works until around 7 PM. That's roughly 12.5 hours a day, and she gets around ₹700 a day, which comes to barely ₹60 an hour.

There is no fixed lunch break. The maximum break they get is around 20 minutes, and she told us that sometimes this break can be as late as 5 PM. No fixed timings.

There are apparently no proper washroom facilities or place to rest between bookings. Some workers end up sitting in public parks and are driven away by the police.

And not everyone gets a scooty. Those who don't have one have to walk from one booking to another, sometimes 20–40 minutes.

She also told us that they were initially told they would get one day off as menstrual leave during periods. But when she actually asked for a day off, she was told to just take a 30-minute break and come back. She told them that it takes more than 30 minutes to get back home. She asked if she could take the entire day off and was told that ₹700 would be deducted for that day.

Apparently, if they take leave for more than two days, their daily rate itself can be reduced for the subsequent days.

The lady who came to our home is planning to work only until Diwali. She said that cleaning work picks up around this time, and she wants to leave the platform as soon as she can.

This is the side of India's “convenience economy”.

For us, it's just a booking on an app for a dirt-cheap price. Someone comes home, gets the work done, and leaves.

But behind that convenience is someone working 12+ hours a day, travelling between bookings, with barely any break and very little control over their own time. Almost felt inhumane.

Hearing all of this made me feel quite bad. Startups creating employment shouldn't become a justification for poor working conditions.

Something extraordinary actually happened today.

Stuff so extraordinary, that even if it comes as a dream, you dismiss it as something that is impossibly improbable.

Thanks to your support and blessings, today I had the ultimate honor and privilege of having a conversation with our honorable Prime Minister on Mann Ki Baat about https://t.co/CIr1xkvilD

I still can't believe that he actually spoke to me, asked me about the website, its features and some questions on general history too. I am still in a daze.

For an amateur builder like me, i don't think there is a greater recognition or validation than this.

This conversation has given me enough motivation to take BharatRajya to the next level and make it the ideal history reference and visualization website for everyone.

Thank you @narendramodi ji, for encouraging people like us and inspiring us to achieve greater heights.

These is one conversation I will not forget in this lifetime. Or maybe even the next.

And rest assured sir, I won't let you down.

Only rich people benefit from an airport it seems.
All the rich Uber and other taxi drivers, all the rich baggage handlers, all the rich cargo movers, all the rich staff who work at the various shops in and near the airport, all the rich cleaning staff....
All rich people, no?

What a bunch of idiots we have become.......

[Chennai Updates @UpdatesChennai]

Excellent points. What are we going to do with the lands acquired for Parandur?? So much of compensation paid in Crs. So many villages was convinced barring one. Nothing but politics. If they concerned about land grabbing, do an audit on the same but proceed with airport..😑

How much of India's infrastructure was built after 2014?

• 100% of Dedicated Freight Corridors
• 98% of Solar Capacity
• 85% of the Expressway Network
• 79% of Tap Water Access
• 75% of Metro Rail
• 71% of Port Capacity
• 69% of Railway Electrification
• 60% of 4-Lane National Highways

Infrastructure is built over decades.
But some decades build more than others.

For everyone’s information, Airtel made a net profit of ₹33,000 crores, and Jio made a net profit of ₹30,000 crores after taxes last year.

The return on capital employed for both Jio and Airtel is above 14%, which is extraordinary for companies of their size.

There’s absolutely zero excuse for increasing prices, except that there is a duopoly, and they can freely extract more money from Indians with virtually no restrictions.

ஆட்சிக்கு வந்து இரண்டு மாதங்கள் தான் ஆகிறது. நீங்க தலித்துகளுக்கு ஒண்ணுமே பண்ணல என்று பேச சரியான காரணமே இல்லை ஆனாலும் அந்த கேள்வி தவெக வை பார்த்து கேட்கப்படுகிறது. லாஜிக் இல்லை இதில்.

அதுமட்டுமல்ல இன்னும் தலித் கட்சிகள் ஒன்று இரண்டு சீட்டுக்கே கை கட்டி நிற்கும் நேர்த்தில் லாவகமாக அமைச்சர் பதவிகளை அதுவும் கல்வி,உயர்கல்வி போன்ற துறைகளை அள்ளி கொடுத்து இருக்கிறது தவெக.

தமிழக அரசியல் வரலாற்றில் முதல்முறையாக எனும் அசரீரி கேட்க,தங்களையே கிள்ளி பார்த்து அதிர்ச்சி அடைந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள் விசிக உட்பட.

இன்னும் அவர்களே அந்த அதிர்ச்சியில் இருந்து வெளியே வரவில்லை. அவர்கள் சில விஷயங்கள் செய்ய காலம் எடுத்து கொள்வார்கள். ஒரு வருடத்திற்கு பிறகு அவர்கள் இவ்வாறு இருந்தால் நானே கேள்வி கேட்பேன்.

But asking the question today is very premature.

ஆர்ம்ஸ்ட்ராங் அண்ணன் இறந்த போது நீதி கேட்டு உங்கள் தலைமையில் பேரணி நடத்திய போது நம் ரத்தங்களை வைத்தே உங்களை rss என்று பேச வைத்தார்கள் திமுக.

ஆறே மாதத்தில் மார்கழி மக்கள் இசையில் கனிமொழி,மதிவேந்தன் போன்ற வர்களை கூப்பிட்டு நடனம் புரிந்தீர்கள்.

கனிமொழி யும்,மதிவேந்தனும் தலித் மக்களுக்கு என்ன கிழித்தார்கள் என்று தெரிந்து கொள்ள ஆர்வ மாக இருக்கிறேன்.

ஆர்ம்ஸ்ட்ராங் கொலைக்கு சிபிஐ வேண்டாம் என்று உச்ச நீதிமன்றம் சென்றது திமுக. அதுவும் இரண்டு தடவை.

ஆனால் ஆட்சிக்கு வந்த இந்தஇரண்டு மாதத்திலேயே அந்த வழக்கை வாபஸ் வாங்கி சிபிஐ க்கு மாற்ற வழி வகை செய்திருக்கிறது தவெக அரசு.

ஒளி தெரிகிறது. சிறு கீற்றே எனினும். ஒளி தான் அது.

நீங்கள் நினைத்திருந்தால் பொற்கொடி அவர்களுக்கு பிரச்சாரம் செய்து இருக்கலாம். ஆனால் செய்யவில்லை.

ஒரு தலித்தே சக தலித்துக்கு அவ்வாறு செய்யலாமா?

அமிர் போன்ற சாதியவாதிகள் தலித்துக்களுக்கு என்ன கிழித்து விட்டார்கள் என்று நீங்கள் மடியில் கட்டி கொண்டு இருக்கிறீர்கள்?

ராஜ்மோகன் போன்ற நம் சகோதரர்கள் பலர் தங்கள் சமூகத்தை வெளியே சொல்லாத காரணம் அகைந்தையாலா?

பயத்தால் தானே?

தொலைக்காட்சி துறையில் தலித் என்று சொல்லிவிட்டு வாழ முடியுமா?

ஆனால் அப்படி பயந்து இருந்தவரை நானும் தலித் என்று சொல்ல வைத்தது விஜய் அவர்கள் தானே? சொல்ல வைத்து,தேர்தலில் வெற்றிபெற வைத்து,பள்ளி கல்வி அமைச்சர் ஆக்கியது எல்லாம் சாதாரண விஷயமா?

அது மிக பெரிய மாற்றமில்லையா?

இங்கே எல்லா கட்சியும் இடைநிலை ஜாதிகளுக்கு ஆதரவாக இருக்கும் கட்சிதான். ஆனால் அதில் கூட தவெக மாறுபட்டு தான் இருக்கிறது. அதை மறுக்கவே முடியாது.

Data speaks. Doesn’t it?

ஒரு பக்கம் திமுக NEET போராட்டம் என்கிற பெயரில் கேவலமான விஜய் எதிர்ப்பு அரசியல் செய்யும்பொது உங்கள் போராட்டம் நேர்மையாக இருக்கும் என்ற மனதார நம்பினேன் . ஆனால் மிக பெரிய ஏமாற்றம் தான் மிஞ்சியது.

பிகு: அம்பேத்கர் எந்த காலத்தில் உண்ணா விரத போராட்ட முறையை ஆதரித்தார்? மேலும் போதை பொருள் பரதேசிகளுடன் நட்பு பாராட்ட சொன்னார்?

Congratulations to the entire Skyroot Aerospace Team on the successful launch of Vikram-1 (Mission Aagaman) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.
The mission marks a significant milestone for India’s private space sector and reflects the growing capability of the country’s space ecosystem.
Congratulations to IN-SPACe and ISRO teams, who enabled and facilitated the launch and ground testing operations along with technical consultancy and 24x7 safety surveillance.
This achievement is also a testament to the Space Sector Reforms envisioned by our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji.

Heard a cabinet reshuffle is on the cards.

Requesting the PM to consider swapping the ministries of Shri Nitin Gadkari and Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.

Shri Gadkari has already done more than needed work in transport, so much so that there is virtually nothing left to be done. A man with such a Midas touch, and hunger to bring change even if it's not needed, is exactly what is required in the Education Ministry, where a massive overhaul is needed.

Meanwhile, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan can be transferred to the Transport Ministry. Since the heavy lifting there has already been completed, the ministry now requires someone who won't do much, will leave things exactly as they are, and won't experiment too much. Shri Pradhan, having done remarkably little in the Education Ministry, would be the ideal candidate for the job.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

The Govt has banned Telegram in India until June 22 over the use of the app by 'cheating rackets' for NEET-UG.

The Babu or the minister whose "big brain" idea this was should get the Param-Chaantt award.

They are assuming that the cheating network and their clients don't understand what a VPN is and can't access Telegram through one.

They think that because the paper was shared on Telegram last time, if it is leaked, it will only be shared on Telegram again. Are Discord, Signal, and WhatsApp a joke to them?

So, why not make your system foolproof and make leaks impossible instead of banning a mode of communication? Because it's a slippery slope. If the paper leaks and is shared tomorrow, you'll ban other apps too, and eventually the whole internet. But then again, papers were leaked and shared long before the internet era, too.

If Japan spends Rs 100 to improve Football at the grassroots, Rs 100 Goes to the grassroot. Hence they are where they are today.

If India spends Rs 100 to improve Football at grassroot level, Rs 50 is taken by babus to build heated swimming pools for themselves, the next Rs 25 is taken by AIFF guys for their own luxuries, The next 20 is swallowed by state associations and whatever remains is neither enough for grass, nor roots.

Forget winning, we won't even qualify for the second round of the World cup qualifiers with this system
