Mumbai’s water reserves are critically low. As citizens, here’s what we can do immediately:
- Stop car/bike washing for a couple of weeks; dry clean or wipe with a damp cloth instead.
- Use a bucket instead of long showers.
- Check and fix even minor leakages at home and in housing societies.
- Turn off taps while brushing, shaving, or soaping dishes.
- Run washing machines only with full loads.
- Reuse RO reject water for mopping, flushing, or watering plants.
- Avoid hosing down driveways, compounds, and balconies.
- Use a bucket to wash utensils instead of keeping the tap running.
- Water plants early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation.
- Delay non-essential activities that consume large amounts of water, such as deep cleaning terraces and common areas.
- Report public water leakages immediately to local authorities.
- Encourage societies to monitor overhead tank overflows and install auto cut-offs.
- Restaurants, offices, and commercial establishments should adopt temporary water-saving measures.
- Spread awareness within family WhatsApp groups, societies, schools, and workplaces.
Every litre saved today can help Mumbai get through the coming days.

@ParkerOrtolani Even if the airline didn't recognise her and give her a free upgrade, i am sure she had airline points to use for a free upgrade. So this scene didn't make sense AT ALl
Was a good samaritan to a lady who was trying to find a beauty salon and could not use #GoogleMaps to figure it out cause she was on Satellite mode and didn't know about the walking option! Reset get phone, loaded the destination and then pointed her in the right direction!
Auto guy sees me pulling out extra money after I have already spent the ride getting out the fare. He asks, did it come to more than you usually pay? I say, yes, around Rs 2 more. He gives me Rs 2 back! Please tell me, would this happen anywhere else than #Mumbai!! #TravelIndia
I’m completely stranded at Moscow airport… alone, helpless, and running out of hope.
No one from @makemytripcare or @etihad is answering my desperate messages.
Russia doesn’t accept Visa or Mastercard anymore.
I have ZERO cash left. Not even for food or water.
The Etihad ground staff is avoiding me more than my ex ever did — literally turning their faces away and telling me “just call customer care”… which has been busy for hours. I’m standing here like a beggar in my own nightmare.
I don’t know how I’m going to get home. I’m scared. I feel abandoned by the very companies I trusted with my journey. My family is waiting and I can’t even tell them I’m safe.
Please… if anyone from Etihad, MakeMyTrip, or even the Indian embassy sees this — HELP ME.
And if you’re reading this, just one RT could save me. I’m begging.

If you are going to the AI summit tomorrow, do go to hall 6 where in a small canopy you would find a guy, who lost his mother to a long cancer battle last year, explaining about his Ai tool under the umbrella of BigOhealth that will help cancer patients and their relatives get information on the line of treatment that they can go for. These decisions is being taken by the ai tool while assessing patient records and past treatment and studies happening across the world. He has tied it up with a hospital initially to get more data with all required consent.
He told me how when cancer was detected in his mother, like most of us, he went blank and could not think clearly. Later, through the AI analysis, he found that in two districts of an Eastern state, three patients passed away due to cancer because they didn't get the correct treatment.
