Dear @GHMCOnline@CommissionrGHMC , This road is a hazard. The trench was left incomplete without proper top layer. Why is this high traffic & high revenue area being neglected? Who takes the ownership?
Does the responsibility not lie with the entity that performed the work?

Mr. N. Chandrasekaran
Chairman, Air India
Subject: When Silence Speaks Louder Than Leadership
Dear Mr. Chandrasekaran,
They say leadership is about showing up — not just in boardrooms, but in moments that truly matter.
Today on June 17th when Capt. Sumit Sabherwal — the Commander of Air India flight AI 171 — was laid to rest, you were just a few kilometres away in Mumbai. Yet, neither you nor a single board member of Tata Sons or Air India found the time, or perhaps the inclination, to attend his funeral. Not one.
Capt. Sabherwal wasn’t just a name on a payroll or a line item in the cost column of a ₹3000 crore aircraft. He was a human being. A son, a colleague, a commander entrusted with hundreds of lives each flight. But more importantly, he was one of yours — part of the Tata family, or so we’re often told in town halls and mission statements.
And yet, as his 88-year-old ailing father stood by his son’s pyre — alone, broken, and betrayed — the Tata Group, that venerable institution that once stood for grace and humanity, could not even spare a board representative. No shoulder to lean on. No condolences delivered in person. One wonders: is this the “New India” the Tata Group wants to lead?
You see, leadership is not just about IPOs and synergies. It’s also about presence — especially in the dark moments. Ashwani Lohani, a former Air India Chairman, understood this. When a relatively junior Flight Despatcher passed away in Mumbai years ago, Lohani didn’t send a card or a floral arrangement. He showed up — and went further, offering the grieving wife a job. No cameras. No LinkedIn posts. Just humanity.
Now imagine for a moment — would J.R.D. Tata have stayed away? Would Ratan Tata, who personally visited animal shelters and grieving ex-employees, have sent regrets via social media posts and emails?
No, they would’ve been there. Because they understood that airplanes may cost thousands of crores, but the men and women who fly them are priceless.
It’s not about protocol, sir. It’s about people. And when the Chairman of Tata Sons cannot find time to attend the funeral of a Captain who dedicated his life to serving the skies under the Tata banner, what message does that send to the rest of the crew?
The message is loud and clear: You’re just a name in a roster. A code in the system. Replaceable.
Today, the employees of Air India feel abandoned. Not by fate, not by circumstance, but by you. And in your absence, we saw everything.
Warm regards (though with little warmth left),

@pinkutalks This has nothing to do with the bio diversity park, it’s due to the construction happening near by and winds. Think a little before tweeting,
@teja2495 It’s a safety net for payment options in the App Store or in game purchases, if incidentally you press buy and you didn’t intend to.
Also double press of the power button is a shortcut for payment. You don’t need to actually open the wallet app to make payment.
Hey guys,
Anyone who is currently doing cpl India or has done their flight training in India ,
Could you please mention the manoeuvres that are to be demonstrated to an examiner when giving a flight test in India.

@OldCroaky@aviationbrk Mistakes happen when learning , ig not reporting such incidents is why they are grounded. When you report, you can understand and learn and not repeat them.
