EcoWorld road connecting to the ORR is chaos, and so is doddanekundi back road, the chain reaction of bad traffic mgt by brookfields, Standard Chartered and Honeywell, as a result the kids school buses trapped for hours @Jointcptraffic@ChristinMP_ . Residents of APR are helpless
India is the only country where IAS officer who was caught taking ₹10 lakh bribe reappointed as Deputy Secretary in the Revenue Department as punishment. You still wonder why people from IIT IIM leave 2-3 crores of packages for UPSC ?
Sharp Edge: There was a time when people in power had some shame. They wanted to be seen as neutral & honourable
The refusal of Gyanesh Kumar the CEC to even bother to be seen as impartial is a symbol of the brazenness in our system.
When was the last time you heard of a minister resigning on moral grounds ?
Honour & morality have disappeared even from some high constitutional offices

We seemed to be waging a war against education, literacy and scientific temper. This is no way to become a Vishwaguru or reap our demographic dividend!
The North vs South divide in the approach clearly shows the priorities. Watch..
I am genuinely surprised why more people in India aren’t talking about this openly.
If you want clean drinking water, you have to buy a water purifier and then pay 18% GST on it.
If you want clean air, buy an air purifier again, 18% GST.
If you want 24×7 electricity, don’t rely on the grid buy an inverter.
If you want quality education for your child, forget government schools, you have to go private, where fees run into lakhs.
Government schools are not even a serious option for most middle-class families.
If you want good healthcare, you go to a private hospital and once you step inside, your bank balance starts bleeding. Many families literally take loans to survive medical emergencies.
Now leave all this aside.
Even pure food is hard to get.
Paneer is adulterated.
Dal is artificially coloured.
Street food?
Nobody knows what’s being mixed dirty hands, sweat, sometimes worse. We just hope nothing happens.
Try walking outside:
• Footpaths barely exist.
• Vehicles come from all directions.
• People don’t follow lanes.
• Potholes everywhere.
One wrong step and:
you might get hit by a vehicle, or
you might fall and injure yourself
And who takes responsibility?
No one.
Ask questions and suddenly you’re:
• called deshdrohi
• told to “go to Pakistan”
Why should expectations from my own country be compared with Pakistan?
When India plays cricket, do we compare ourselves with Kenya or Zimbabwe?
No.
We compare ourselves with Australia, England, big teams.
Then why, as a country, shouldn’t we compare ourselves with: China, the USA, Japan, Australia other large economies?
People say “India is Vishwaguru.”
If that were true:
• why are so many millionaires leaving India?
• why are top celebrities and athletes settling abroad?
• why do people with money still choose foreign education, healthcare, and passports?
Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent.
Asking questions is not anti-national.
Expecting clean air, safe roads, honest food, affordable healthcare, and quality education is not a crime.
Patriotism is not blind worship.
Patriotism is demanding better because we believe India deserves better.
If this made you uncomfortable, maybe it needed to be said.
Share it.
Talk about it.
Silence won’t fix anything.
@rishibagree@Dev_Fadnavis You are a moron of the highest degree. Compare like things first of all. Why don't you compare the recent terrorist attacks or your empty brain does not recall anything after 2014
@PetroleumMin Why are we still paying the same rates? Why not provide options to choose? Will car manufacturers cover any damages due to this blending?
@StocksStar@venkat_fin9 You need education in the first place. This is true for even medical routine tests in these hospitals. They charge multiple of what is charged by top labs.
This is not just an accident in Kalyani Nagar, Pune. It's a murder committed by:
- Corrupt police
- Corrupt system
- Corrupt administration
- Corrupt politicians
- Corrupt businessmen
- Corrupt excise department
- Corrupt showroom owner who delivered the car without registration.
If:
- The pub had closed as per the rules,
-if The pub had not served alcohol to minors as per the rules,
-if The showroom had not delivered the car without registration as per the rules,
- if Parents had not allowed their minor child to drive the car as per the rules,
- if Traffic police had acted on the car,
then these two young lives would not have been lost on road. Might have been spared.
Ordinarily traffic police are quick to penalize us for minor infraction they aggressively fine us for not wearing helmets, not carrying licenses, or PUc certificates. So, why didn't they take action on a flashy car without a number plate speeding on a deserted road at night?
Moreover, when the police arrest the culprit who destroyed two families, they provide him with biryani, pizza, and burgers behind closed doors. The shameless, wealthy brat eats without any guilt for taking two lives.
Does the court work on holidays to deliver justice or to save the accused from punishment? In just a few hours, bail is granted as if presenting a NAZRANA. This is the sentiment.
Two lives were lost, and the court granted bail on a Sunday as if awarding a prize, with conditions like:
- Writing a 300-word essay,
- Taking advice from a psychiatrist,
- Learning traffic rules for 15 days.
More punishment is given in schools. Here, two youngsters died.
-For driving without a license, the penalty is three months imprisonment.
-For underage driving, the penalty is three months imprisonment.
-For drunk driving, the penalty is six months imprisonment.
-For overspeeding, the penalty is one month imprisonment.
Even for traveling without a ticket on a train, the punishment is six months. But for killing 2 youngsters Yet here, bail is granted in 15 hours. Astonishing.
The height of shamelessness is that a legislator comes forward to save the accused and tries to cover up the case. According to Pune Mirror/Punekar News, Vadgaon Sheri MLA Sunil Tingre is the one who tried to fabricate that the accused was not driving, but the eyewitnesses rejected this. If true, such individuals should be expelled from their party.
I don't know the deceased, but this could happen to you or me tomorrow. So, we must speak up. At least, we should stand tall before this hardened system.
The Pune Police Commissioner has taken serious note of the immediate bail granted. Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis has also directed the administration to take strict action against the accused and ordered an investigation into the CCTV footage at the police station. We hope for action and justice!
@RashmiDVS Baseless comparisons. Are any of the other products sold as medicines for serious illness? You don't mind the millions who would suffered because of Ramdev's blatant lies
