Anyone who's stayed long enough in Mumbai knows this about #MumbaiRains
1. Like Mumbai, there are only extremes. 0mm or 200mm.
2. No one hates the rains, one cannot hate climate.
3. But you are allowed to hate Mumbai summer.
4. What people actually hate is not the rain but the fact that this city can't handle rains. It can't. That hurts us.
5. Hence we rationalize with "no other city can handle 200mm" - this sounds good but is garbage.
6. We know this a four month arrangement necessary to get water. So we adjust.
7. And finally, every year, this is the time we eagerly and lovingly start the wait for our fav diety. Ganpati Bappa Morya!
Hey! the first ever family heirloom I inherited... My cousins had collected these and passed down to me during summer vacations... I showed it off so proudly to my new classmates... Legit Flex...
Okay, seriously think it through, would you confront a fat unhinged lunatic who is casually strutting around with a knife in his hand? You are not some street fighter, some seasoned MMA athlete, you don't have a weapon, you have fuckall genetics and muscle mass. YOU CANNOT.
Let’s say if you ask Antilla folks to move to Bundelkhand lock stock barrel. Let’s say you ask all stock market traders from dalaal street to borivali to move to samastipur bihar and operate from there (they are not even moving to dholera city). Let’s say if you ask senior lawyers in sunder nagar and power brokers of Lutyens to move to churu in Rajasthan and work from there.
Well that’s precisely the plan of Indian state with the CORALS of NICOBAR. It wants to gouge these extremely sensitive life form from shallow ocean waters from their colonies that are millennia old and place them elsewhere. If in this “elsewhere”, nature has not allowed corals to exist, why will they just coz. Nicorbar project executioners are wanting to convert this pristine bio-diversity hotspot in a Pattaya kind of resort.
Coral relocation has had practically no success at all, world-over and yet babu led “expert team ” are pretending to play gods.

Ashutosh Gowariker directing Lagaan in 2001 to Ashutosh Gowariker heading a jury and awarding Kerala Story for Best Direction in 2026, is an accurate summary of India's 25 years.
with all due respect, fuck the box office.
may filmmakers keep having the courage and motivation to make such poignant cinema that can haunt you months after you’ve watched them, and may audiences develop the courage to watch movies that can make you feel uncomfortable
J. Kumar has faced repeated fines, delays, and safety incidents on Mumbai Metro and bridge projects despite the blacklisting, yet continues winning major MMRDA contracts.
A proud and historic moment for DFCCIL!
The successful trial run of freight trains marks the completion of the entire Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) on 31st March 2026, with operations carried out on the JNPT–New Saphale (Vaitarna) section. A container train in the down direction (JNPT → New Saphale) departed at 11:50 hrs, hauled by an electric locomotive, while in the up direction (New Saphale → JNPT), a container train also departed at 11:50 hrs, powered by a diesel locomotive.
Conducted under the leadership of Sh. Praveen Kumar, MD/DFCCIL, this trial run signifies the operational readiness of the critical 102 km balance section of the WDFC. It marks a major milestone towards commissioning the corridor for freight operations and demonstrates that the newly commissioned high-rise electrified, high-capacity double-line infrastructure is fully prepared for seamless and efficient movement of goods.
The occasion was graced by Sh. Shobhit Bhatnagar, Director/OP&BD; Sh. Anurag Sharma, Director/Infrastructure; Sh. M. K. Awasthy, ED/Infrastructure; Sh. Sandesh Srivastava, ED/Projects; Sh. Vikas Srivastava, GGM/S&T; Sh. Ran Vijay Singh, GGM/Electrical; Sh. Amit Saurastri, GM/CC; and Sh. H. G. Tiwari, CGM/Mumbai, along with other senior officers and the dedicated DFCCIL team.
This achievement will add a new chapter to India’s logistics landscape—unlocking faster port connectivity, enhancing supply chain efficiency, and enabling greener, more reliable freight movement. The full commissioning of WDFC marks a transformative step in strengthening the nation’s logistics backbone and accelerating economic growth.
With uninterrupted end-to-end connectivity now established, train operations will become significantly more efficient, requiring fewer sets (2 sets) of crew between New Makarpura and New JNPT due to reduced operational handovers and streamlined running. Additionally, freight trains will experience a reduction of nearly four hours in transit time, enabling faster turnaround of rolling stock, improved asset utilization, enhanced schedule reliability, and greater capacity for handling increased freight volumes.

She just said it aloud, now I know why some of the doctors lack basic human empathy - forget compassion. Being a doctor doesn't change what kind of human you are.

It is remarkable how quickly some men invoke misogynistic women, not to address misogyny, but to deflect from the men's role in creating, sustaining, and benefiting from it.
Yes, there are women who enable misogyny. They defend it, excuse it, and sometimes actively participate in it. Thank you for pointing out something we have always known and called out. Now, take responsibility, call your own gender out, and confront the system.
