"He lived in fear of two false fates: either that he might end up as lost as the ragged poor who had surrounded him in Paris or else that he might succumb to the safe but numbing comforts of convention."
Letters to a young poet
@Punit_Pania I wonder what his immediate predecessor at FDA must be thinking. That guy now comes across as an incompetent buffoon or an absolute corrupt. No in-between.
It’s quid pro quo. You pay them bribes, they give you protection.
Exactly how the Underworld functions. Just in uniforms and government salaries this time.
Went to a Chart Thela tonight.
A Delhi Police jeep stopped, and the officers openly took whatever they wanted, snacks, drinks, whatever, and drove off without paying a single rupee.
I asked the vendor, “Bhaiya, don’t they pay you?” He just went silent. His face said it all, fear, helplessness, and exhaustion.
This is the level of Delhi Police (@DelhiPolice) today.
Not protectors. Not law enforcers. Just uniformed extortionists preying on poor street vendors who are barely earning their living.
Shame on this police force. When the people meant to uphold the law start looting the common man so openly, the system has rotted completely.
@BackInBlack_DG Can’t help thinking about the younger kids of the lot who’d probably suffer because their parents would be too old to take care of them.
@FulfillVatican2 That’s probably because US companies are scraping the bottom of the barrel to save money. Everyone in India knows the best talent doesn’t work at Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, HCL - the firms that supply a large share of H-1B workers.
That's why pahad belongs to pahadis only. Pahadis knew how to make balance between religion and ecology for centuries. But know people from Cow belt are reaching the origins of these rivers near glaciers doing their drama rituals. So Gross 🤬
@moviebuff0025 Even if there were any industries, that wouldn’t be sufficient to provide employment to all of them if they breed like pigs.

@DefenceBrat Why should the nouveau riche, enjoying their new-found affluence in a high-end luxury wagon, be bothered by petty traffic rules meant for the hoi polloi?
@VijayKumbhar62 As anyone on ground would know, most of these goons are on the payroll of local politicians. The police are unfortunately not capable of doing much here as it would involve inconveniencing their political masters.
These incompetent buffoons from @Airtel_Presence couldn’t fix an internet connection for 2 days and don’t even have the decency to respond when reached out over call. @airtelindia . High time people in Pune revert to local operators and shun these useless folks at once.
@TeaChaiLa Just look at the replies to her post. Marathi people are trolling her simply because she works with a news agency they despise, instead of supporting the genuinely important issue she has raised.
There’s really no hope for Marathi people. सतरंज्या उचलायचीच लायकी आहे या लोकांची.
@varshasuman Disgusting! It’s so unfortunate to see people with Marathi-sounding last names justifying this. These people have truly sold their souls to please their Hindi-speaking overlords sitting in Nagpur and Delhi.
An interesting thing about the #NEET scam is that the culprits come from across the caste spectrum -Kulkarni, Waghmare, Lokhande, Mandhre, etc.
Folks from the Brigade and the Sangh must be having an equally hard time figuring out how to target specific castes here.
