@thedivtagguy @bengawalk It seems that the most common distance travelled is 2 or 4 stations! Cumulatively, about 53% people travelled 10 stations or less. 74% of all riders travelled on the same line.

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

My wife (Ria) went to AIIMS. I went to IIT Delhi.

We watched 'Hello Bachhon' on Netflix this weekend. One kid in the show breaks down walls in his village to sell bricks so he can afford coaching fees. A girl hides her textbooks because her parents want her married off.

Throughout the show, Ria and I realized that we never had to fight for any of that.

We had access to coaching. Good coaching. Neither of us ever worried about whether we'd get to prepare.

The IIT-AIIMS crowd loves talking about the grind. # of hours of self-study per day, the pressure, and sleepless nights. I've done it too. But that grind starts after you already have access. Most of us skipped the actual hard part and don't even know it because the people who are capable but can't afford access are invisible. They're not in your coaching batch. They're not in your college. You never compete against them because they never got the chance to show up.

We credit hard work more than it deserves. Sometimes the biggest advantage was just being born in the right city to the right family.

'Hello Bachhon' made this truth hard to ignore. Great watch.

After a lot of push from many quarters, over many years, @GBAChiefComm issued instructions to keep the parks open all day.

Some RWAs felt “outsiders” come to “their” parks and cause “safety issues” and used their influence with their MLAs to lock the parks during the day and now they are threatening to change the policy as well.

We have 1240+ public parks. Perhaps the highest in the country. They are the gardens of the garden city and keeping our green legacy going even amidst explosion of concrete structures. They offer a pleasant break from heat and traffic and often make walking distance shorter.

Parks belong to everyone in the city and must be kept open all day.

@sxtvik @nit1995 We recently experienced BLS (for Spain visa), and it was worse than my per-Covid VFS experience.

@simongerman600 You could add closed airspace over India-Pakistan too, though it is only bilateral.

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.

Our response then must be our response now:

NO to violations of international law.

NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.

NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.

NO TO WAR.

@FriendsofBMTC My UPI payments from Icici mobile app have stopped working on BMTC buses a month ago (400 technical error). Any idea how to fix it?

@theuglyindian A huge jump compared to the 15 or so who finished last year on Jan 26th.

Why does every big Bengaluru project feel like we’re building first… and thinking later?

BMLTA was designed to stop this madness.
But look at our flyovers, metro decisions & last-mile chaos, did it really change anything?

This video breaks it down.

It was over 1.05 million on the first day of yellow line, with only 52,000 taking the yellow line. @ChristinMP_ @srinualavilli https://t.co/s82O0y7Iao
