You think you’re drinking Fruit Juice? THINK AGAIN.
Big food brands are selling sugar water with shiny ‘fresh fruit’ pictures on the front. And hiding the truth in tiny fine print at the back of packet which reads ‘Pictures for marketing purposes only’. SERIOUSLY?

Today in Parliament, I called this out.

Because these misleading branding and false advertisement are pushing millions, especially kids, into diabetes and lifestyle diseases.

Time to expose the truth behind your juice box.

Why can't the cameras which the government has installed for tracking speed violations also be used for tracking potholes and the state of disrepair of our roads?

NEW SCAM BY OLA DRIVERS IN BANGALORE

Extremely disturbing experience with an Ola ride today from Majestic to Jalahalli, Bengaluru.

The ride initially showed a fare of ₹285 in the Ola app. However, after reaching my destination, the driver showed a bill of ₹5950 on his phone and demanded that I pay the full amount. He claimed that I had cancelled some old rides and that the amount would be deducted from his account if I did not pay.

When I tried to explain that my app clearly showed ₹285, the driver started becoming aggressive and repeatedly insisted that I must pay ₹5950.

Since he was speaking mostly in Kannada and I am not fluent in the language, the situation quickly became stressful and difficult to manage.

I then contacted Ola’s emergency support through the app expecting immediate help. Unfortunately, the response from the support representative was extremely disappointing and dismissive. Instead of trying to understand the situation or deescalate it, she repeatedly questioned whether it was a “safety issue”.

When I explained that please consider it as unsafe and that I felt unsafe, the representative responded in a rude and dismissive manner and abruptly disconnected the call stating that it was “not an emergency”. At that moment I was left alone to deal with an increasingly tense situation with the driver.

Fortunately, my house owner arrived at the scene, understood the situation, and advised the driver that we should go to the police station to resolve the matter. I followed him on his bike while the driver followed us in the cab. However, midway the driver suddenly rerouted and fled the area.

This entire experience was extremely stressful and raises serious concerns about:
• Fare transparency on the platform
• Driver conduct
• The attitude and responsiveness of Ola’s emergency support team

An emergency line that dismisses passengers during a tense situation defeats the very purpose of having a safety feature.

@Olacabs @bhash

@BlrCityPolice Can you please help with this situation. I can share all the details.

You probably didn't t know this but Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape was so convincing that many people at the film’s premiere were shocked to learn he wasn’t actually mentally disabled

DiCaprio should've won an Oscar for this

It’s snowing in Ladakh in March, a season that should be transitioning to spring. The winter snowfall that once recharged our groundwater and fed our springs is arriving late and disappearing fast. The shift is not subtle. Climate change is rewriting the hydrology of the Himalayas, and mountain communities are living it every day. #snowfall

Went to the grocery store this morning

Bread, milk, eggs

$47.63

The screen asked if I'd like to round up to support a children's hospital

I pressed no

The cashier looked at me

The woman behind me looked at me

My wife looked at the ceiling

Again

This company made $14 billion last year

They can round up

Went to get gas after

The pump asked if I'd like to add $1 to support veterans

I support veterans

I pressed no

A $200 billion oil company asking me to fund their charity while I'm paying $3.89 a gallon

That's not philanthropy

That's outsourcing

Drove through for lunch

Taco Bell

The screen said "round up for education?"

A fast food company asking me to fund scholarships while paying their employees $11 an hour

I pressed no

My wife said "you know you're arguing with screens today"

She was right

But the screens started it

Went to the pharmacy

Picked up a prescription

$340 after insurance

The screen asked if I'd like to donate $1 to help families in need

I just paid $340 for a medication that costs $4 to manufacture

And now you want a dollar

I pressed no

The pharmacist said "it's just a dollar"

I said "it's never just a dollar"

She didn't respond

Got home

My wife said "you said no to a children's hospital, veterans, education, and families in need today"

I said "no. I said no to four corporations who want me to fund their goodwill so they can put it in their annual report"

She was quiet

Then she said "you're not wrong"

I said "I know"

She said "but you're still going to look like a monster"

I said "I'd rather look like a monster than quietly fund a billion-dollar company's PR strategy at the register"

She didn't disagree

But she didn't look at me either

Plz fix. Thx.
