Finally managed to visit 8th century BagaLi Kalleshwara temple. Probably the only temple in Karnataka developed by all 4 major dynasties, Rashtrakutas, Chalukyas, Hoysalas and Vijayanagara. (Thread)

@sambaarseparate Infact, JP nagar one is Dollars Layout, not colony. So, JP nagar kept the dollars and dropped the colonial Hangover 😂.

@dankchikidang Haha, I wish I had FU money. Not having FU money and still having to put up with LinkedIn’s fakery is precisely why I deleted it.

[Pradeep A J @pradeepaj]

I deleted LinkedIn months ago, and the world is much more bearable now.

[Gurpriya @GurpriyaSidhu]

Linkedin writing didn't have much going for it earlier anyway, but now with AI, it has become impossible to read something on Linkedin. It is the carnival of AI slop.

@Uber_India What’s the point of Reserve if the driver never shows up and ignores tje phone calls? Happening way too often now, stuck rebooking at pickup time, with an early morning flight to catch. Reserved cabs are useless if we can’t rely on them. @Uber @UberIN_Support

Giri Devanur, a Chikmagalur boy, rings the NASDAQ bell for the 3rd time, now with his company BHAV. His father, Sampath Iyengar, was my Kannada teacher in school. So proud @GiriDevanur

During World War II, high grade silk parachute fabric was manufactured in Bangalore using Japanese technology, for the Allied forces (Most likely in Tata silk farm, Basavanagudi). Pretty dark, considering Japan was at war with them!

Hit me with the craziest Bengaluru history facts you know.

Could be a mere coincidence that the first Cafe Coffee Day outlet with a cyber café attached to it opened on 11th July 1996 in Bangalore. If I remember correctly, they charged around ₹150 for an hour.

[Mumbai Heritage @mumbaiheritage]

Did you know?
India's first Cyber Cafe was opened in July 1996 at Hotel Leela Kempinski, Mumbai. It charged Rs 800/- for an hour of internet access

Never got to watch Hari singh live in action like I did other motorsport legends. This incident reinforces my theory- With the ultra rich, friendship is never equal. If you’re not in their league financially, you’re usually valued for what you bring to the table than who you are.

[Rattan Dhillon @ShivrattanDhil1]

RIP Legend 🕊️Betrayal by a friend. A traitor. Like in the Army we say, “we leave no man behind.” The same spirit exists in motorsport you never abandon your own.

But here, a rich brat chose otherwise. It was him that was driving the motorboat that night at 200 nautical miles per hour. confirmed by himself to the police While a legend was left behind in open waters, the support boat reportedly took Singhania to safety, carried two other female passengers, and then he flew back to Mumbai.

He even refused to to provide his personal info to hospital when he was brought to felidhu for injuries.

In the most critical moment, loyalty was replaced by self-preservation. This isn’t just a tragedy it feels like abandonment. Gautam Singhania hasn’t even given a formal explanation of what happened, despite being present at the scene.

A legend gone, and questions that will never fade. Gone too soon! 🕊️

@SanandanaYS Yeah..anyday. If you remember old Dwaraka on bull temple road, they used to have instruction boards hanging on the walls which said no “No 3rd serving of chutney” 😄

[Pradeep A J @pradeepaj]

Handwritten apology note from Hotel Dwaraka, NR Colony for not sending sambar with parcel due to LPG crisis. Funny how this war is putting an end to age old debate - Dippa? Separataa?

@dankchikidang @_CreatingWealth True, majority of them come from Salem and Hosur districts. Also, this won’t get implemented because good 20-30% are from Mus*im community and INC won’t take risk with them at this stage. Also, we saw what happened in Gandhibazar years ago when they tried to implement this.

A Hippo killing a 27 year old veterinary doctor Sameeksha Reddy at Lion and Tiger Safari of Shimoga/Shivamogga is a serious incident. The unfortunate girl was a trainee, no seniors were there to guide, no security protocol was in place. It’s a murder. Heads should roll @eshwar_khandre .
