So many want Ramayana to succeed because it’s about Shree Ram after all but those same people want it to fail because they dislike the actors!

Give us collapsible threads of Happy Birthday and happy festival messages! A spam folder is much needed on WhatsApp now!

[Kunal Shah @kunalb11]

WhatsApp calls now work in your browser. Your 47 open Chrome tabs finally got company that's actually useful.

@MeVidya_25 @drsunita02 Tried that. It sours by then. Mumbai heat!

[Richa S @richaroams]

@drsunita02 I can make curd without it also… just that I m not there to keep it in the refrigerator in time!

@garg_trupti @MonaADhar Because those 35-45 year olds have kids who will eventually take those exams and other exams. Asking for accountability is not too much.

[Richa S @richaroams]

@KabraAakanksha Best not to leave them with any stranger verified or not. They paid a heavy price

[Richa S @richaroams]

Nupur Sharma was dropped conveniently but they cannot drop this education minister despite so many suicides? Where are the sweeping changes needed? Where is the accountability? The very people who voted bjp in will vote them out eventually.

BJP needs to understand the pulse of GenZ. They may be protesting for neet today because they know it could be any exam tomorrow. Calling the thousands of students goondas by every media channel and twisting the narrative isn’t going to fool anyone.

30 years from now India will be an example of how social media ruined a country.

If everyone is sick, we no longer call it a disease. One such disease that is widespread in India today is watching reels for hours and hours. India has cheap and fast data. People have a lot of time and there are millions of unemployed youth so what are they doing? Doom scrolling.

You see around, every single person is scrolling reels. People are scrolling while commuting in bus, train, cabs. They scroll just after waking up and just before sleeping, while eating and even during traffic signal. You'll see people scrolling in office and even when they are with friends and family.

Even children today are scrolling. They won't have food without reels or shorts. Imagine how are we raising our upcoming generation? Adults and children both are spending 3-4 hours on social media everyday. That's 25% of waking hours. Everyone's brain is rotten, foggy and fried so how we as a nation will be productive?

This should be treated as an epidemic and the least our government can do is to ban social media for kids just like Australia did a while ago. Maybe, ban for adults also.

@NishitS43823799 Yeah. And it’s just growing.

[Richa S @richaroams]

Wimbledon seems to be the new Cannes film festival. More coverage on celeb fashion and less on the sport!

[Richa S @richaroams]

Can we bring this rule to all public places including private establishments. This reels on loudspeakers culture is out of hand everywhere.

[T Sudheesh @sudheeshdc]

Commuters creating noise disturbances inside Chennai Metro trains and stations will now face a penalty of up to Rs. 2,500, five times higher than the earlier Rs. 500 fine.

@rishibagree @TrulyMonica Absolutely. Churchill was as big or bigger mass murderer than Hitler. Every person who accords him any respect is either an ignorant and/or fool or just evil.

[Richa S @richaroams]

As a fellow Maharashtrian I completely agree. The only promoters of Marathi are a talented crop of Marathi influencers, amazing theater artists and dwindling movie makers. Definitely not these rabble rousers.

[kshitij vaze @VazeKshitij]

I do NOT like this man. I am a Marathi, Kokanasta Brahmin before anyone tells me to get out of Maharashtra - and there are far better ways of promoting Marathi than this.

How so? Here's an idea - Promote Marathi on days of cultural importance and festivals, instead of taking out a mob and banging out hindi/bollywood songs over loug-speakers.

Promote plays, dramas, and other performing arts right from the school level is another idea. And by promote them, I don't mean forcing every kid to get into em - I mean things like local theater and acting clubs, culture centers, and things like that.

[Richa S @richaroams]

@janwhyy Every restaurant, every cafe in the country has people playing reels on loudspeaker! And work is also done there?

[Richa S @richaroams]

ChatGPT has become that colleague who talks too much and gives a lot of gyan but gives no tangible sensible output or document that you want!

[Richa S @richaroams]

All Mumbaikars today.
Dhooooop!

[Richa S @richaroams]

At a restaurant today. Every single table had people on their phones. And every single table had atleast one person playing videos loudly. There’s no escape anywhere!
