Shame on @Swiggy for treating its delivery partners this way.
We placed an order from Baskin Robbins that should have arrived in 45 minutes. Instead, after 50 minutes, the delivery executive came to our doorstep without the order because the restaurant had been closed since the afternoon.
He had video proof, proof that he had reached the location, and messages sent to Swiggy asking for help—but Swiggy never responded. We even called the restaurant ourselves, and they confirmed they had been closed for hours. So why was Swiggy still accepting orders?
We got our refund, but that’s not the issue.
Despite repeatedly telling Swiggy that the delivery executive was not at fault and had all the evidence, they still slapped him with an ₹850 penalty.
To make matters worse, Swiggy customer care disconnected our call while we were trying to resolve the issue. They also kept insisting they were trying to contact the delivery executive, even though he was standing right in front of us and didnt receive a single call.
This is unacceptable. A company worth billions should not be forcing hardworking delivery partners to pay for its own system failures. Stop punishing the people who keep your business running and take responsibility for your own mistakes.

Show his face. Show the girlfriend’s face. Show his older videos. Show CCTV footage of him meeting his girlfriend. Make it prime time news. Show snap screenshots. Give it Siya level coverage. Come on. Don’t be shy. It’s only fair.
After her husband died, she moved on something men do without a second thought while remarrying, cheating, and impregnating whoever they want with zero shame. But one woman does it?
Suddenly it’s casual sleeping around .
At least it was adult and mutual unlike the constant threats, control, and slut-shaming widows even every woman face from so called respectable men in your ideal world.
If a woman living freely instead of shaving her head and disappearing makes you seethe this hard, the problem was never the movie. It’s your fragile fake entitlement.
Stay mad incel .
Upper class men will use pics of lower caste, underprivileged men working in inhumane conditions, appropriate their struggle and proclaim “feminism ends here”
Beyond that, they never give a shit about improving their working conditions and treating them as dignified human beings rather than disposable labour.
Watched this woman destroy an innocent girls life while reading her WhatsApp Messages on the news. For ratings. Had her call me anti-national on the news for speaking about women’s safety. For ratings. Now she’s ‘concerned’ about women. For ratings. Give me a break. That’s my take.
Kudos to @Geet_reports for a sharp, necessary line of questioning.
When asked why the 'Cockroach Janta Party' lacks female representation or followers, the spokesperson started with a valid point on safety: the brutal online abuse and trolling that deters women from public roles.
But then came the casual, disappointing pivot to lazy stereotyping.
To claim that women aren’t engaged in politics because "media and films have conditioned them to care only about makeup and shopping" is not just reductive, it is an insult to the very movement you claim to lead.
Let’s look at the facts: the NEET aspirants fighting for justice on the streets right now include thousands of fierce, articulate women.
They are fighting for their futures, enduring police crackdowns, and leading this struggle with absolute seriousness.
How dare you minimise their grit, intelligence, and political agency by reducing their entire gender to a patriarchal caricature of consumerism? You are actively erasing the labor of the very women standing on your frontlines.
How do you build an inclusive political movement while simultaneously generalising half the country's population as apolitical consumers?
If your platform wants to represent the people, it needs to treat women as political citizens, not products of cinematic conditioning.
Looking forward to seeing how they plan to dismantle these internal biases to actually create safe, representative spaces.
I grew up reading Mrinal Pande’s columns in Hindi newspapers, and I have long admired her writing and intellect. Which is precisely why this needs to be called out.
What she wrote about Aishwarya Rai is sexist, regressive, and deeply disappointing. It is body-shaming and in bad taste, plain and simple. At a time when we are trying to move beyond judging women by their appearance, comments about a woman’s weight, face, or “lost beauty” feel unnecessary and patriarchal.
Who cares whether Aishwarya weighs 40 kilos or 60? The most admirable thing is that she appears completely comfortable in her own skin. In an age where there is immense pressure on women to conform to unrealistic beauty standards, that confidence should be celebrated, not mocked.
And then there is the comparison with Rakhi Sawant. Calling either of them caricatures is neither insightful nor funny. If anything, Rakhi is one of the funniest people on the internet. She may say things that don’t always make sense, but she is an easy target who is often dismissed without being understood. Both Rakhi and Aishwarya are self-made women who have carved out their own space despite relentless scrutiny.
When respected public intellectuals make remarks like these, they end up sounding no different from online trolls. Such sad observations diminish the conversation rather than enrich it.
Aishwarya is aging, as all of us do. I am told she has also been dealing with health issues that are common among people in their late 40s and early 50s. Not everyone can, or should, be expected to look the way they did in their 20s or 30s. We need to accept and embrace that reality.
The saddest part is that these comments are coming from a woman many young journalists, both women and men, look up to.
@MrinalPande1 ji, this was insensitive and uninformed. It deserves an apology.
Claiming a keffiyeh—a traditional Palestinian scarf that’s been worn for centuries—is symbol of violence is like saying a kippa is a symbol of hate & terror because Israeli settler-terrorists wear them when they go on deadly rampages thru Palestinian villages. Outrageous & absurd
🚨72 hours later, NOT one single mainstream media outlet covered this UN report's confirmation of Israel's systematic MASS RAPE of Palestinian hostages in torture camps, "motivated by extreme hatred towards & a desire to dehumanize the Palestinian people"
Unprecedented cover up!
India, with 903 soldiers at risk in Lebanon, decides not to sign a letter by 34 countries in UNIFIL condemning attacks on its peacekeepers.
A clear departure from the time New Delhi used to be at the forefront in defending UN peacekeepers.
To all the fraud “feminists” who bullied & shamed the world for months into condoning a genocide; why did you immediately disappear as soon as the UN confirmed Israel’s mass systematic & routine RAPE of Palestinians?
This was NEVER about feminism
May our blood haunt you forever
Goa has hardly 11% vegetarians, a minority, that has vetoed serving if eggs as part of midday meals in schools. Intolerant vegetarians are a shameful lot. Eat what you want but stop dictating what others must eat!

closing the windows and sitting in bed with your little ipad and stanley cup while Palestinian children are being dismembered and you want me to feel sorry for you…?
Both my parents served in UNIFIL, and were awarded Nobel Peace Prizes.
Can confirm the Israelis regularly fire at UN Peacekeepers. You could have written this tweet 40 years ago and it would still be true. Israelis are unhinged
isr@el is simultaneously striking FOUR different middle eastern countries and the world is watching and saying NOTHING. the one thing in common all these countries have is that they’re arab countries and that’s why the western world is silent
it's mind-boggling that people are claiming this scene isn't meant to titillate men who enjoy seeing violence against wymyn. when her entire body is stripped away, leaving nothing but a robotic skeleton, her breasts remain, perfectly intact. dehumanised, but undeniably female.
