You can’t fix a problem you refuse to acknowledge. There’s nothing wrong with this portrayal, people like you are just allergic to reality. Step outside and walk around your own neighbourhood. If you can’t find trash, prove me wrong instead of crying about the truth.
@gharkekalesh They’ve cancelled my flight twice and took more than a month to refund my money. I’ve sworn never to book a flight with SpiceJet again, no matter how cheap it is.
But it is surely the most sasta flight 😂😂
Watching Elon Musk this week has been a fascinating character study in the saviour complex of Western tech billionaires.
They arrive in your country selling you the future. Welcome them, and you’re a country that wants progress. Make them wait, and suddenly your people are victims who need rescuing from their own institutions by the chosen one.
It’s a pattern. When Thai rescuers didn’t use the mini-submarine Musk sent for the trapped boys, and diver Vernon Unsworth called the idea impractical, Musk attacked him as the “pedo guy.”
When Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered X to comply with its rulings, Musk called the judge a “dictator.”
The script rarely changes. Only the country does.
The colonial mindset isn’t always about wanting to rule a country. Sometimes it’s the assumption that you arrive as its saviour, and if the country doesn’t immediately recognise you as one, something must be wrong with the country.
Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nation’s policy - Indian or American.
India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.
India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable.
Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.
Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.
Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.
India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.
Faced something extremely unusual today. #delhivery took my money, and now nothing shows up on their app. Everything is automated, so it’s impossible to get hold of anyone. Their email says to reach out through the app, which is blank anyway. 🤦♂️ @delhivery
I was served a chicken momo in a veg momo order. Zomato didn’t help, and the restaurant simply denied it. Feels helpless when a restaurant can get away with something that can compromise a person’s faith and beliefs.

@kunalb11 Also since last few months, Cred has also stopped giving cashback for any amount of credit card payments and started offering stupid coupons which is what gpay and others are doing.
Cashback was the whole point of installing credit I mean. Stupid App
