Had purchased a classic 350 about 10 years ago but sold it within a year. Too much drama to maintain it.

Happy with my 18+ year old Honda Activa.

Royal Enfield's time is bygone.
It's a wastage of investment.
People still buy for status establishment & boasting.
Royal Enfield is a classic case of " More cost than worship"
People want to feel the duggu duggu & masculinity at the start, but that thrill dies off after some time and you will be burdened with more maintenance cost than the bike itself , difficulties in parking in crowded places , tedious process of placing the heavy bike etc etc. Add to it any sukdu , chappri is driving the Royal Enfield coz of that Electric Switch.

Better to have a nice car for long drives & an additional sports bike/ scooty for casual and in city rides/ errands

Zomato, swiggy and all such aggregators, even in hotel industry should enforce the businesses to upload their regulatory clearances such as fire and food safety etc on the apps and validate them.

Surely the onus is on govt to regulate them better but customers should also able to access this information better and decide appropriately. This has to come internally from their product teams.

This department is solely responsible for filling almost every single waterbody around #Hyderabad with sewage over the past few decades..

Hyderabad aims to be a world class city but is maintained by such irresponsible departments.

Unless accountability is ensured every single lake being rejuvenated by @Comm_HYDRAA will remain filled with sewage.

On the ground sewage overflows from hundreds of manholes but they lie saying it’s been fixed and close complaints.

@hmwssbed @PrlsecyMAUD unless accountability is increased.. Hyderabad will go down the same drains that this department maintains.

[All India Trinamool Congress @AITCofficial]

After careful consideration, it has been decided that all committees of the All India Trinamool Congress in West Bengal, as well as all its frontal organisations, shall stand dissolved with immediate effect.

The party will undertake a comprehensive exercise of introspection, performance review and organisational assessment at every level. Based on the findings of this exercise, the organisational structure of the parent body and all frontal organisations will be reconstituted and announced in due course.

The party remains committed to strengthening its organisation and preparing it to meet future challenges with renewed vigour and purpose.

AAP was a special purpose vehicle (SPV) created by members of Sonia Gandhi’s National Advisory Council (NAC), when they realised the INC was sinking.

CJP is the SPV of all the AAPtards who realised the AAP is sinking - desperate to remain relevant.

All rats, all sinking ships

The kind of pressure Sooryavanshi is going to be under for the next few years in insane. Imagine having a bad season or even a rough patch for half a tournament which even many big stars have had. At that age it's bound to fuck with your head when you haven't seen many failures.

People were already out saying he will not be able to perform this year, second season is the toughest and blah blah. But eventually he's going to hit that rough patch and I hope he then gets all the support he needs.

[Vipin Tiwari @Vipintiwari952]

Ex chief selector said : It’s good to see that in a post-match interaction, he (Sooryavanshi) said on Sunday that he needs to improve his fitness. He has been under the tutelage of NCA for quite some time now. See, he is only 15. He should be carefully handled and looked after. He should be carefully monitored. I feel he should be under the tutelage of (VVS) Laxman or (Rahul) Dravid for some time. They are the guys who can keep him humble. At this stage, it’s needed to shape his career in the right manner,” [PTI]

Are data centres some kind of new real estate gold rush opportunity? Been getting a lot of enquiries regarding how to go about setting them up.

[Sam Mathad @sameermathad]

It’s embarrassing to watch BJP-affiliated handles react to the Annamalai issue. They are completely exposing how clueless they are about political nuance.

[Sam Mathad @sameermathad]

@jareen66 There is no party machinery in TN

[Sam Mathad @sameermathad]

Annamalai is the only leader in the BJP who can go out of the party and still command following from people.

Every other BJP leader barring a handful just survive because of Modi's aura.

[Sam Mathad @sameermathad]

He's a leader, leaders don't need posts or tags

[Randeep Sisodia @Randeep_Sisodia]

One man has become the talk of the nation since yesterday…

He is not a Prime Minister…

He is not a minister…

He is not a CM…

He is not a state minister…

He is not a film star…

He is not a sports star…

He is not a party head…

He is not a dynast…

He is not an MP…

He is not an MLA…

In fact, he is not even a councillor…

Who is he?? 🤔

[Sam Mathad @sameermathad]

@DwellingDeep_ Not just TN but other states as well if he wants, BJP needs a new strategy in south, may be this is it.

[Sam Mathad @sameermathad]

But isn’t this made with AI?

[Vikas Bardia @vikasbardia]

Waited for 2 hours yesterday early morning to click this pic, because I'm super excited to announce that @shoffr_in is now available in Hyderabad! 🥳

Of all the city launch requests we've gotten over the past 3 years, Hyderabad has been the most popular one perhaps because of similar airport dynamics and the quality of choices available.

We're launching today with a small fleet of 15 BYDs, and this will hopefully grow to 50 by June end. For now, I request you to please book us 1-2 days in advance (whether it's airport transfers, hourly rentals, or outstation) so that we can deliver the same gold standard ride experience to you in Hyderabad.

Most of you already know that we don't do any marketing and have only grown via word-of-mouth - this has only been possible because of your love and support, and I'm so grateful for that ❤️ Thank you again for trusting us, for giving us another chance when we've screwed up, and for constantly rooting for our growth and success!

If you've enjoyed the Shoffr experience, please share this update with your friends and family in Hyderabad 🙂 And if you're a corporate with a focus on sustainability / becoming greener, please leave a comment here or e-mail [email protected].

Launching Shoffr in Hyderabad is special for both @kislayverma and me, as this is where we first met while working at D.E. Shaw & Co way back in 2011. We both have so many fond memories (and some blurred ones) of this city, and it's amazing to see how it's developed since then. Thank you, Hyd, for all the love and opportunities you've given us - can't wait to see what's in store next!
