School bus half-stuck in a broken road, literally nose-diving. Image courtesy -a neighbour -travelling on Golf Course Road and crossing the Sector 53 Circle at around 3 PM.
The bus appears to have slipped into a dug-out pit right in the middle of the road. A sanitation worker and a few passers-by were trying to help extract it. The most alarming part: there were still little children inside the bus.
This isn’t just about a heavy downpour-it is about the quality of our roads and urban infrastructure. Gurgaon is one of the country’s biggest revenue generators, yet it is being viewed only as an investment destination, without matching investment in safe, functional infrastructure. The lives of the people who live in the already developed parts of this city should matter to you Hon’ble Chief Minister and Ex Chief Minister.
Respectfully asking @mlkhattar ji @NayabSainiBJP ji, our MP @Rao_InderjitS ji and our MLA's @RaoNarbir ji @MukeshSharmaGG ji - when will Gurgaon receive the infrastructure it deserves?
People shouldn’t have to fear dangerous roads and flooded streets every monsoon, or endure poor air quality for the rest of the year. We deserves better.

@Nissan_India@Nissan_India you messed up the specs vs pricing game for the India market! You'll soon discontinue this model! What was the strategy behind this?
An article from New York Times.
While many insiders deplore, here is a view from the outside.

THE INDIAN ELECTIONS - NEW YORK TIMES
It is truly the greatest show on Earth, an ode to a diverse & democratic ethos, where 700 million + of humanity vote, providing their small part in directing their ancient civilization into the future.
It is no less impressive when done in a neighborhood which includes de-stabilizing & violent Pakistan, China, and Burma.
It's challenges are immense, more so probably than anywhere else, particularly in development & fending off terrorism -- but considering these challenges & its neighbors, it is even more astounding that the most diverse nation on Earth, with hundreds of languages, all religions & cultures, is not only surviving, but thriving.
The nation:
where Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism & Sikhism were born,
which is the second largest Muslim nation on Earth;
where Christianity has existed for 2000 years;
where the oldest Jewish synagogues & Jewish communities have resided since the Romans burnt their 2nd temple;
where the Dalai Lama & the Tibetan government in exile reside;
where the Zoroastrians from Persia have thrived since being thrown out of their ancient homeland;
where Armenians, Syrians & many others have come to live; where the Paris-based OECD said was the largest economy on Earth for 1500 of the last 2000 years, including the 2nd largest, only 200 years ago;
where 3 Muslim Presidents have been elected,
where a Sikh was Prime Minister & the head of the ruling party a Catholic Italian woman,
where the past President was also a woman, succeeding a Muslim President who as a rocket scientist is a hero in the nation;
where a booming economy is lifting 40 million out of poverty each year & is expected to have the majority of its population in the middle class already, equal to the entire US population, by 2025;
where its optimism & vibrancy is manifested in its movies, arts, economic growth & voting, despite all the incredible challenges & hardships;
where all the great powers are vying for influence, as it itself finds its place in the world.
Where all of this is happening, is India and as greater than 1/7th of humanity gets ready to vote, it is an inspiration to the entire World.

Had an awful experience on @SingaporeAir
They served my vegetarian meal with some weird and I asked the steward for an explanation. His reply, “Chicken”. When we say vegetarian, we only mean the main dish, the other things could be anything :(
Disappointed AF

@RishiSunak I arrived in the UK (Heathrow) this morning. There are about 41 desk for immigration / border protection officers but only 3-4 occupied to cater to 400-500 in the line in front of me.
I hope your arrival was smooth in New Delhi

💖 Huge THANKS to the @qconlondon organisers for an awesome conference this week! The buzz was insane. Attendees were really engaged and genuinely wanted to learn about new technologies that can help them ship applications faster with fewer bugs. https://t.co/5rAIRWdlIY
