@aparanjape@kushanmitra@HyundaiIndia not value for money. I evaluated it when I was buying my EV. Good car, but the way they have priced it makes you feel Hyundai actually doesn't want EV creta to do well.
@LtGenDPPandey Doesn't make lot of sense for India. Indian army main objective is to protect India's sovereignty and people. IRGC main objective is survival of the regime not safety of its people.
@AjayJadeja171 Nothing controversial in this one. Clearly a brain fade from Salman Agha. He obstructed a live ball when he was still out of his crease. You can’t cover stupidity by calling it sportsmanship.
@aviralbhat How is this a VC round. It was mainly funded by strategics. It is a growth funding round not a venture round. Get your basics right before posting.
@Fancricket12 Problem with Prasidh is that when he does good, he rarely produces wow stuff but when he is bad, he is awful. So there is very little great stuff to balance his shit stuff.
@deedydas 1.9 cr for upper middle class. I would like to have what you whoever suggested this is having.. You care super rich in India if you have that income.
@aviralbhat Thats a BS argument. There are plenty of good schools in Mumbai at much lower cost. Your cousin wants to spend more to show off his/her weath. Don't create an inflation argument out of it.
@manas_muduli Homes are not supposed to be bought on EMIs, they should be bought from saving and capital gains. Home EMI is a scam which benefits only banks and builders
As Sandeep Jadhav beautifully articulates, "without respect, there's no meaning to effort." With the Bajaj Pune Grand Tour building world-class road infrastructure in Pune district, the nation and its people are now hopeful about the changing narrative around cycling as a profession. The future of India now looks beautiful, cycling towards hope!

Dear PM Modi,
I am not much of a cricket fan but I have a humble request. Please take Gautam Gambhir back in active politics. There's no way he can do as much damage in politics as he is doing to Indian cricket.
