Imagine losing your mother's health, your business, and your only source of income in less than 10 seconds.
Yesterday, a young girl who sells vada pav outside our building was busy preparing and serving vada pav with her mother, just like every other day.
Then disaster struck.
A speeding, uncontrolled auto-rickshaw crashed straight into their cart.
The cart was destroyed.
Her mother's leg was fractured.
Their only source of income disappeared instantly.
The driver was caught by locals and eventually handed over just ₹2,000 before leaving.
₹2,000 for a shattered business and a hospitalized mother.
In the evening, I went to the spot where I buy vada pav almost every day.
The girl was sitting there.
No customers.
No cart.
Just tears.
She told me her mother had been admitted to the hospital. The treatment would cost around ₹35,000 and the cart needed another ₹3,000 to be repaired.
Then she said something I'll never forget:
"I don't know how we'll survive now."
I couldn't stop thinking about it.
So today, I spoke to a few friends in my building.
Within hours, 8 of us contributed ₹5,000 each.
₹40,000 in total.
When we handed over the money, she started crying.
But what happened next shocked me even more.
She offered us a post-dated cheque and promised to return every rupee after two months.
A family that had just lost everything was still worried about paying people back.
We refused.
We told her:
"Take care of your mother. Restart your business. Return it whenever you can."
Moments like these restore my faith in people.
The world often feels selfish.
But sometimes, ordinary people come together and remind us that humanity is still alive.
I hope the next time I stop at her cart, it's because she's back to selling the best vada pav in the area.
If you believe kindness still exists, share this story.
கோயில் நிலங்களுக்கு வர வேண்டிய குத்தகைத் தொகையைக் குறைவாக வசூலிக்கும் அல்லது சிறிதும் வசூலிக்காமலே இருக்கும் @tnhrcedept செயல் அலுவலர்கள் மீது நடவடிக்கை உண்டா? மாண்பு மிகு அமைச்சர் @RameshOffcl அவர்களே!
IAF & para military will execute any govt orders ! No doubts ! But the larger questions still remains !
Accountability of the minister & the ministry ?
Why cant it be done online ?
Actions on the coaching mafia ?
Action on 1000s of messaging groups who sell fake NEET papers?
A paper leak is a wrongful act committed before a single student enters the examination hall. If authorities can prevent the leak at its source, there is no need to turn exam centres into fortresses. The real failure is not inside the exam hall. It is in the system that allowed the paper to escape in the first place. Stop the leak and then protect merit.
இவன் எல்லாம் அதிகாரத்தில் இருந்துகிட்டே அழுகுறான், நோட்டீஸ் விடுறான், நீங்க என்னடா னா இருக்கிற இமேஜ் எல்லாம் டேமேஜ் பன்றானுங்க.. ஒரு அவதூறு வழக்கு கூட போட மாட்டுறீங்க.. ஆதவ் & ஊடக புரோக்கர் @Ahmedshabbir20 மேல ஒரு வழக்கு போட்டுருந்தா, கண்டிப்பா இனி எவனும் பேசவே பயந்துருப்பான் @rajinikanth
The issue is not biometric verification, CCTV monitoring, or security checks. The issue is making students pay the price for administrative failures. If paper leaks are the concern, fix the system that allowed them in the first place. Treating every student like a potential suspect is not protecting merit. It is compensating for a lack of trust in the examination process.
And comparing NEET with Gaokao misses the point. Strong security measures are effective when they support a credible system. When repeated leaks and administrative lapses occur, adding more surveillance does not automatically restore trust.
Accountability protects merit. @annamalai_k
This aunty wants to cut off his future son's p.enis to fulfill his mother's dream, something she couldn't do with her own child and her brother.
She and her mother both hate men, and if she ends up fulfilling this dream someday, she'll probably get bail within two months.
She is Aishwarya Mohanraj, a comedian and writer, and an idol for feminist aunties.
Social experiment:
Replace "baby boys" with "baby girls" in the exact same joke.
Now ask yourself:
Would the comedian still have a career?
Would the audience still be laughing?
Would the media call it "comedy"?
There's your answer.
#FeminismIsCancer#Misandry
Is #NEET required? - YES
Are students suffering due to the way the exam has been managed? - YES
Has the government proactively done anything to improve? - NO
Has the government punished the minister or anyone involved? - NO
But we are debating whether #Annamalai is right or wrong.
Wanted by the left and the right. That is Thalaivar .
He didn't have to lie, beg or cry for power or post. Just goodwill was enough to fetch this reputation. 🔥

சென்னை திருவல்லிக்கேணி ஸ்ரீ பார்த்தசாரதி திருக்கோயில் இந்த 214 கோயில்கள் பட்டியலில் ஏன் வரவில்லை ? அங்கே @tnhrcedept அதிகாரிகள் கொள்ளை அடிப்பதை நிறுத்த மனம் இல்லையா?
நீதிமன்றத்தில் இந்தக் கோயிலுக்கு விரைவில் அறங்காவலர்கள் நியமனம் செய்யப்படுவார்கள் என்று நீதிமன்றத்தில் கொடுத்த உத்தரவாதத்தை நிறைவேற்றும் எண்ணம் @tnhrcedept க்கு இல்லையா?
Govt. has no issues banning Telegram because it can be misused to leak papers.
But Govt. never banned 498A despite more than FOUR DECADES of Proven Misuse that resulted in death of many men and families.
@RapidoCares@PantryCar Hi @rapidobikeapp@RapidoCares
Faced a similar situation while going with family.
Had to pay in the mid of the trip and get down.
Funny thing is rapido customer care told me to call SOS next time .no action on driver.
@WolfofX Despite whatever good Indians do, there is hatred against Indians, especially Hindus.
Hindus are not a threat to anyone. Hindus help in the development of the US. While people attack Hindus, another religion is taking over the US.
He “Lost trust on Judiciary today”
A man filed a divorce case expecting the judiciary to decide his matter.
Instead, he got dates.
Every hearing meant advocate fees, travel expenses, and loss of a working day. After multiple adjournments, the case remained exactly where it started.
No action. No progress. No outcome.
The system kept demanding his presence, his time, and his money, while giving nothing in return except another date.
After months of this, he realized that the process itself had become the punishment.
Having lost faith in a system where delays have become normal and accountability is absent, he decided to withdraw the case rather than continue funding an endless cycle of adjournments.
The case was withdrawn with these lines.
The frustration with the judiciary remains.
