Almost always the Indian crowd on an International flight is 5x more uncivilized than on a domestic flight.

People might expect some lack of civic sense on a blue-collar flight, often to Saudi/Singapore, but that’s coz it’s their very first flight. I can understand, But it’s the vacation-destination flights you will find the most uncouth assh*les, who would talk loudly, tease attendants. Misbehave for more alcohol. Even after they land, these are the people, who would talk loudly at public places, and display overall obnoxious behaviour. A couple was caught stealing food, and were laughing when they were caught. My last exp.

It’s mostly coz such people come from a negative correlation of education & wealth. Not much education or corporate experience, yet have wealth due to rent-seeking businesses/inheritance. They behave the same in India, but they get away by throwing money at a problem. It solves it here. But not abroad. If you ever try to instil some sense in them, their gag reflex is to tell you how many showrooms they own & they can buy you out. Sometimes they say it overtly, and other times passively by wearing a thick gold chain & brands that scream in your face. All CAPS.

Your worlds rarely collide in India, but they do when you are at the same luxury resort abroad. It’s the “Bharat shock” the India experiences abroad. :)

I have seen intelligent people destroy their careers by never learning to play dumb.

Showing your full intellect in every interaction signals a threat to those above you.

They will become defiant.
They will resent you.

Strategic ignorance, however, lets others feel superior.

They relax.
They reveal information.

Then you are free to act on what you learned, while they underestimate you.

Ask clarifying questions you already know the answer to.

Intelligence is power.
Hide it until deployment.

The whole Beerbiceps issue. It's not because everyone, all together, all at the same time, thought that the truly tasteless joke was a threat to India and Indian culture. Not at all. It's because the average Indian deep inside does not like successful people. These hive minds come together to manifest cancel culture as a consolation prize for their unsatisfactory existence. That's how this community is. Ranveer today, another successful person tomorrow.

India is a country where people pay upwards of 40% of their incomes ad taxes, only for the govt to spend 20% of the collections on pensions and perks for its employees.

The same tax payers then have to pay the govt employees a service fee over and above their salary, paid for by the tax payer, to do what they are supposed to do.

Some other employees then use the remaining tax payer money to buy a light that costs Rs 700 in the open market for Rs 6000, which then wouldn't work.

They will bill the tax payer Rs 250 cr for a road that costs Rs 2.5 cr which will have more potholes than the moon.

Once all of this is done most Govt employees have more money than God and will then use that money in real estate, making it too expensive for the middle class, who have nothing left anyway.

In India, most of us pay taxes for roads that don't exist, facilities that aren't there and services that are a joke. And from whatever we save, we can't buy anything significant anyway because most of us can't afford it.

In India, most of slog our backside only to ensure a Peon or a clerk in an RTO or Municipality can buy a 6 BHK house, A Fortuner and the Kohinoor diamond.

While we live in the constant worry that one illness in the family will bankrupt us.

In such circumstances, if someone chooses to leave India and go out, I actually don't blame them.

In India we pay for everything but get nothing.

Not many can live with it.

US FDA says spices/ food supplements from Indian companies Everest and MDH contained bacteria Salmonella.

Singapore Food Regulatory Body says they found cancer causing ethylene dioxide in spices and many other food exports from India.

Hong Kong Food Safety Regulatory says they too found cancer causing chemicals in Everest and MDH company's products.

Indian food regulator, FSSAI has no comments, but says that ethylene oxide is banned in food products sold in India.

Everest and MDH company representatives are saying this is all some conspiracy because FSSAI did not receive any such updates from other food regulators and their products are all safe to consume.

But an independent testing of a domestically available Everest Fish Masala by a citizen, paying his own money, showed ethylene oxide was present in a randomly checked product brought off the shelf. It contained ethylene oxide more than 70 times the upper limit in EU countries. Indian regulatory says ethylene oxide is banned in food products at consumer level. But here is a report that shows 70 times more of it in a randomly brought domestically available product.

Who is lying?
I think the citizens of India DESERVE so much better! We have been groomed to get comfortable with, and get adjusted to mediocrity and lies.

I have no hope that the truth will ever come out.
In India anything can be hushed up with money and favors.

Agree with @Indrani1_Roy here

Forcing our scientists to work on constrained budgets is not something to celebrate.

And when ISRO saves in money it is forced to overspend on time. Chandrayaan 2 approved in 2007 cancelled by russia in 2012 then again finally launched in 2019. Not to mention they are forced to limit the science they can do and hence limit their technical envelope

Cringe hard when I see such posts. Just sad.

ISROs low budget working conditions should be a national shame, not some pride boasting event.
